11 - Visitor

WREN

A knock on the door and I heard the keyhole turn, probably Elijah coming to check on me.

"Hey-" He said hesitantly as if trying to scope out how much I knew.

"Hi." I said stubbornly, just because I had excepted the fact that Bellamy left didn't mean I had to be happy about it.

"How are you?" He asked as I started at the TV, he knew what was going on.

"How do you think?" I mumbled.

What am I saying.

"Bellamy just fucking left me here and told me he was going out of town with no explanation." I shouted and Elijah was straight faces, he didn't look like he liked this arrangement any more than I did.

"Why did he leave?" I asked, tears starting to pool in my eyes before I wiped them away and waited for an answer.

"Sorry-" I muttered correcting my expression and waiting.

"You're allowed to cry, Wren. He takes some getting used to, not everyone knows how to deal with him." He had a surprisingly nice change of pace compared to Bellamy but despite that, I still wished he were here instead of Elijah.

"I just came to make sure you were alright, he said he was going to visit his parents but I know his parents split years ago and his mum lives in town so he wouldn't be going to see her. What I'm trying to say is, I don't know where he is."

"Oh, yeah right." I nodded disappointed and slouched back into the couch.

I figured none of his friends knew about what was going on but I guess Elijah was the exception.

"He told me about you, Wren." Elijah said, taking a seat next to me on the couch.

"Mhm." I muttered and headed back to the big empty bed.

I heard him clatter around in the kitchen for a while before the TV flicked on. It was nice to not be alone for the first time in a few days.

I tossed and turned in bed, fuck, why can't I get him out of my head. All I wanted to do was yell and scream until I woke up from this bad dream but alas it never happened.

I wanted him to shake me awake and comfort me, to let me kiss him and listen to me cry about my problems but he wasn't here...

I wandered back out to the kitchen after a couple of hours and found Elijah asleep on the couch, not surprisingly seeing as it was now well into the early morning.

I hated myself for what I was about to do but I nudged him awake and silently slipped myself under his arm, he was hesitant, to say the least, but eventually pulled me close to him and fell back asleep.

Tears trickled down my face but I couldn't bring myself to get up, I wanted to be cared for the way Bellamy had cared for me. Even just to be close to him but if I couldn't have Bellamy I needed someone else. Elijah.

"What do you want for breakfast?" He chirped as I awoke to him cooking various meals in the kitchen. Clearly, Bellamy hadn't told him everything about me.

"I was just going to take a shower." I muttered and wandered towards the bathroom.

I knelt with my skin against the cool tiles as the contrasting water hit my back.

I wanted to scream, I wanted to kick and scream and shout but at the same time, I wanted to cry. Maybe both at the same time but more than anything I just wanted him to be here.

I wanted him to come home.

"Hey!" Elijah exclaimed as I emerged into the kitchen, my hair dripping wet with a pair of shorts and a hoodie on.

He rushed over to me and kissed me, his lips rougher than Bellamy's and his scent not nearly as enchanting.

As soon as I realised what was happening I pulled away instantly.

"What the fuck, Elijah?" I shouted and he looked taken aback at my response.

"Get out-" I screamed as he stood there silently.

"Now." I ordered and he grabbed his jacket off the couch and left. Fuck.

BELLAMY

I took the corner at speed, the wheels of the bike screeching as I felt my pocket vibrating. Quickly I pulled over and reached for it from my pocket, just in case.

3 missed calls from Elijah Wilson

He was meant to go and visit Wren today, did something happen? Was she okay? The line rang for almost too long before he picked up and it was clear he was in his car by the volume of his voice.

"Elijah, what's up."  I grumbled as he picked up just before the line went to voice mail.

I looked out over the coast and the setting sun as I waited for a response.

"You need to come back, Bell." He insisted.

"She needs you." As nice as it was to be told you were needed, especially by someone like Wren, it didn't change how I felt about the whole situation.

"You know I can't." I argued with him and I could hear his disappointment through the phone.

"Bellamy, she's so upset with you." He added, I knew she would be, that much was inevitable but I still hoped she would be okay.

"Look, I tried what you said," He started, "...I tried to kiss her and cheer her up but, she wasn't having it so I left."

As much as I wanted to punch myself for telling him to kiss her, I wanted her to see that she should be with someone as kind and caring as Elijah but clearly, that didn't work either. The thought of her kissing another guy alone, made me want to go back and see her but I was still hesitant, just a few more days and she might come to her senses.

"Wren's lost without you. She doesn't want stability or a happy little idealistic relationship Bellamy, she fucking wants you." Fuck it. The sound of her name made me want to see her, touch her, be with her. I hung up the phone and started speeding back towards the city.
