Beyond Us (completed)

Chapter 15

Jordan's POV:

We are on the so called Willstern streets. The family has already left us far behind them. Family.... finally I know what a family is, how a family is... I don't remember when was the last time, I had a meal with my family - mom, dad and Jonah. It always seemed like they didn't exist for me. But now, everything is perfect. El's family has accepted me as their own, and the love and attachment I've been looking for years is finally found.

I look at El. She is so beautiful. Her hair, falling on her face due to the  breeze, and she moves it every god damn time. Ellen is now my El. I  fucking love to just keep looking at her all the time. Its been just hours since I met her and one think I am sure that my life without her, is going to be worse from now.

"Hey do you like Belgium chocolate cookies?", El asks.

I glance at her " No not a great fan of cookies. But why would you ask that El?"

She is quite and after seconds , she chuckles " I don't know if you would believe me but I actually bought you those and after that I got lost, and then we met..",  she's looking at me.

I still can't believe that she got lost on this fucking streets and the biggest thing is that she has bought me cookies. I hardly remember the last time someone bought me something.

"Did you always have such long hair? And how are you feeling in here? ", Ellen asks.

The problem with El is ,she just keeps asking questions one after the other. "Yes, and I bet you like my earing, your always looking at it.", I smile at her.

"Washington is great and I love your family El. They are so warm and lovable. Thank you, if I hadn't met you that night, probably I wouldn't know the joy of just having a family", I tell.

"Its already 7. When are we going to reach the hotel !", the small kid at the back groans. El and I smile.

Washington has already become my favorite. It is less busier than New York and somewhere Washington has given me all that, which I hardly found in New York.

I look at El. She is looking outside the window. I smile to myself and the moment I turn front, a women is standing right in front of my car. I pull the brakes and the tyres screech to stop. El and Sam looks at the women.

"Have you lost your fucking mind! You wanna die or what !", I yell at the women.

I can hear Ellen, open the car door, and can, see her getting down. She walks towards that women. I too get down from the car and walk towards them.

"What are you doing here? You could have died.", El says.

The old women is looking at me. Probably she is just wondering who's this new boy in the town ,or maybe she is judging me by my appearance.

The women grabs my hand. What the fuck. She turns to look at my palm. El looks at us, as though she knows exactly what the women is trying to do. The women let go of my hand. She then looks at the sky. Fucking lunatic.

"Are you ok? El who's this!?", I shout.

The women is still looking at the sky as though she is communicating with them. The women now is looking at me.

"What's wrong? Do you wanna tell us something?" I don't understand why El is being so kind to this women. Does she know her? Have they met before?

The women looks at us with pathetic eyes and then she tells," Wherever you are going, head back. This night, this universe, the people, all are against you. None will support you! Everything is going to change tonight. Both of you head back home or else be ready to lose each other. History will repeat, as it has always been, and the lovers die, giving their love a name. An eternal name."
