Two of A Kind

chapter 6

Valentina's pov

Summer has always had the biggest crush on Elijah since freshman year of high school and the whole friend group knows it too. Scarlett likes him too and once they saw him with Abigail something set off with them both.

They both befriended Abigail. She doesn't need them anyways. Their fake and pathetic.

"You have nothing to worry about" I say comforting Abigail. "Ignore them. Ignore what they have to say"

Abigail nods her head and fights back tears, but I see one strolling down her cheek. She's looking down, her hands in mine. I could hear her sniffling.

Seeing her like this breaks my heart. It ached for her and I can't believe this is happening over some boy.

"You need to go home?" I ask her.

"Is that okay? I need to be alone. I'm so sorry" she places a hand on her face.

"Don't be sorry. Get some rest, love"

Abigail stands up and I walk her out to her car and watch her pull away to make sure she's safe.

Me and Abigail have been best friends since we were 8. We've always looked out for each other since and it's safe to say that I'm not like Scarlett and Summer. At all.

Abigail's Pov

I throw my pjs on and curl up on my bed. It's raining and I lay in bed crying. Life is so unpredictable and short.

Just then I hear a knock on my door. It was Elijah. My heart raced. What was he doing here? I quickly got up and opened the door.

I glance at the door making sure that nobody would be passing by.

"What are you doing here it's raining!" I say in a hushed voice.

"I had to see you, my love" he says. My face was flushed with his words.

"Get inside your soaking wet"

He climbs through the window. I get him dried up and we lay down on my bed.

"What about Ashley?" I ask him staring up at the ceiling, stroking his chest with my fingers.

"She'll be okay. She don't gotta know what we doing."

I sit up. "You don't feel guilty?"

He sits up and eyes me down. "Not in the slightest. I've been feeling you since the party"

"I feel the same, Elijah. But we cant be together"

"Why not?" His voice was cracking, broken. "I always feel so lonely but it's different with you."

"My parents. Their so strict. I want to, Elijah. Believe me I do"

"They won't ever know if you don let end up telling them, beautiful"

I stroke his cheek and let out a soft cry. "You have no idea how bad I've wanted to be with you"

He placed his hand on my hip and brings me close to him, inches away from his lips. With my hand still on his face he leans in for a kiss and I kiss him back.

This is wrong. His girlfriend is probably at home thinking of him and he's out here with me, in my bed with me in his arms. I feel terrible.
