White Lies

Chapter 14

Chapter : 14 -

I am actually fucking annoyed. I've been a confused mess, wondering what all of these people are saying. What do they mean by 'she doesn't know does she' 'he didn't tell her did he. They start laughing at my disoriented state, no one once thought 'ah poor girl, I should explain it to her' not for even a fricking second.

I scream into the pillow to muffle my voice, thats how fucking annoyed I am. I get up and take the suitcases just by the bed. I was so sleepy that I didn't even notice them beside me. I keep them inside the closet and come out. I'll arrange them later when I'm bored.

I take my phone out of my handbag. I gasp when I see 67 missed calls and 234 texts. I didn't touch my phone for a day and this is what its like. I open the texts by some unknown person who has texted me a called so many times.

Unknown : hey Lilith! Its Samuel. I'm just texting to check up on you, I've been worried cause you went off all panicked from the library. Honestly, I would have followed you but I chose not to. So yeh hope you are okay.

My heart melts by the text, he is such a good guy, I like him, but I'm stuck here with some mafia ass or else I would have made a move and asked him out on a date. I scroll down finding more messages

Unknown : if you're wondering how I got your number. I asked for it from Mia.

2 missed calls
Unknown : hey why aren't you replying? Everything okay?

4 missed calls

Unknown : I'm sorry if I sound rude, I don't know I'm just really worried.

2 missed calls

Unknown : when can I give you the books?

3 missed calls

Unknown : I'm gonna stop texting just reply once you see this okay? Please.

1 missed calls

I don't hesitate for a second and dial his number.

"ohmygod! Finally, I was so worried." Samuel says as soon as he picks up.

"hey, I'm so sorry I made you so worried, I just had a lot going on and I just took my phone so yeah."

"its fine. I'm just glad your okay. When will you get the books from me?"

"I don't think that's possible anytime soon. You can give it to Mia."

"no, no. I'll hold onto it. It is the only excuse I have for meeting up with you."

I laugh.

"same here. I'll text you when I can meet you. I'm gonna go now."

He laughs too and replies.

"okay, byebye take care, Lilith."

"byeee, Samuel. you take care too."

I hang up and stare at the phone screen, smiling ear to ear. I lay down on my back and kick my legs up in the air. Excited now that I know Samuel might have feelings for me too.

I tiptoe downstairs like a thief. Well, I couldn't sleep and I am hungry and the pasta Abigail made was delicious and there's leftovers so I am gonna eat it.

I look around the dimly lit hall when I reach the last step, I quickly tippytoe run to the kitchen. I bump into a hard chest and just as I'm about to scream a hand covers my mouth, another hand slides around my waist pulling me towards the person.

I look up and gasp softly when I see Elliot. "You won't scream if I let you go now, right?" he asks in a low, bored voice. I quickly nod and he lets me go, just as I'm about to move, Elliot's hand blocks my way. I gaze at him with a confused look.

He pins me at the kitchen counter, leaning closer to me. I move back, my back hits the cool counter. I look at him with wide eyes. "W-what are you doing?" I manage to breath out.

"You tell me what you are doing here at 4 in the morning." he required.

"Well, I couldn't sleep and I was hungry so I thought I'd eat something." I say, looking everywhere but him.

He moves away, opens a cabinet, grabs some liquor bottle and leaves the kitchen without a single glance at me. I finally breath and peek outside the kitchen to check if he's there. Thankfully he's going upstairs.

I sigh and turn around, grabbing the pasta from the fridge and heating it in the microwave.

I take the bowl after its done heating and sit in the dining room. I let out a moan as soon as the pasta's taste hits my tongue. I sigh with delight and lean back on the chair enjoying it.

I clean the bowl and leave it on the counter to dry. I head upstairs, go to my room, lay down on the bed and blankly stare at the ceiling.

I flinch hard when I hear gunshots.
