All I Want Is You -Elmax

New Home?

[Max POV]

I laid in bed with El, light music playing in the background. My tearstained face buried in her chest. She lightly brushed her fingers through my tangled hair and rubbed my back. I felt a little better, but I still felt hopeless, it shouldn't be hurting me this much, for all I know I should be happy. But I'm not. But why? After all she did to me? Why? After all the torture she put me through? I guess there was this feeling in the back of my head that told me she loved me, that everything she did to me was because she loved me. I used to tell myself that to feel better, like I really was loved, like I was loved by my own mother, and I guess it somewhat convinced me. Might be why I'm so hurt. Because I created this whole mindset to help myself. But it didn't help me, it just made things worse.

I felt El lay a soft kiss on my forehead followed by one on the tip of my nose. I opened my eyes and looked up at her. She smiled gently and caressed my cheek. I inhaled deeply and sat up at the end of the bed, she did the same. She scooted closer to me and crossed her legs, cupping my cheek. I put my hand over hers and laid into it, letting out a long sigh. She slowly moved our hands from my face and to my lap, her grabbing hold of both mine, caressing my knuckles with her thumbs. I stared down at them, comparing my bruised hands to hers.

"Why?...Why, didn't you tell me?" She asked breaking the silence. I stared longer avoiding eye contact with her. "...Max." She moved as an attempt took look me in the eyes, I finally gave in and looked her in her Hazel eyes.

"I didn't want you to worry..." I trailed.

"Max,"

"I know, I just...I knew how you'd feel, I knew you'd want to do something about it."

"Of course I would Max, she, she hurt you-"

"Whatever, it doesn't matter." I pulled my hands from hers.

"Max-"

"It doesn't matter El." I said harshly, my voice breaking slightly. El froze and stared at me, her mouth hung open a bit. I got up from the bed to grab my bag. "Maybe I shouldn't stay the night." I went to put my things away, packing quickly. I stopped feeling a pair of arms wrap around me, a head placed on my shoulder. I dropped the bag and stood there, El starting to rock the two of us from side to side.

"I'm sorry," She started.

"No. No, I'm sorry. It, I, I'm sorry. I guess you deserved to know. You did. I just, didn't know how to tell you. I didn't want you to have to worry about me all the time."

"Maxi." She said softly. I turned and looked her in the eyes. She placed her hands on my cheeks once more. "I will always worry about you," I sighed and grabbed her hands. "you know I will. I care about you, and I love you." I smiled slightly and wrapped my arms around her.

"I love you too." I went in and connected our lips, a gentle kiss lasting a few moments. We stopped and looked at each other again. I tucked a strand of hair behind her hair and smiled connecting our lips once more, El wrapping her arms around my neck.

The kiss started to get more and more intense, nearly heated. El grabbed the collar of my shirt and pulled me back, the two of us falling back onto the bed, me on top of El. She swung her hand to the side slamming the door closed, from outside the TV volume was getting louder. I started laying kisses all down El's neck, reaching up her dress to pull her underwear off, then the rest was history...

[Eliza POV]

I rode my bike down an old chipped and cracked road to Max's house. When I got there I pulled into the yard, full of dead grass, garbage, and debris from the house, and dropped my bike down. The place seemed awfully quiet, I mean it's usually quiet, but it's quieter than usual.
