Amelia (The elements series)

Chapter 5: Morning After

I wake up in a dark room, at least I think I'm in a room I can't really see anything. I stand up and release I'm not home, panic sets in as I start pacing around the room looking for a way out. "H, hello" I call for anyone to help me. "Hello Amelia" a voice speaks from the other side of the room and I spin quickly to face them. I try to focus my eyes on the figure but all I can see is that this figure is tall and muscular, from his voice I can tell he's a male. "Who are you, where am i?" I ask as I step forward which only causes him to step back. "That isn't important right now Amelia" important? I think it's pretty important for me to know where the hell I am. "Then what is?" he then begins to step forward "you are, of course" I stand speechless as he continues to move towards me.

As he starts to move faster I move back, I start to feel afraid "I'm no one, st, stay back" I raise my hand to prevent him from getting any closer, it's so dark I still can't see his face. "No need to be afraid Amelia, you are very special, you will play a big part it what is to come" He stands still. "You're confused, but soon you will know who and what you are, and soon you will be with me".

Suddenly I jerk awake and realise I was dreaming. I Take a deep breath and relax "Thank god" I say to myself and wipe away the sweat on my forehead. Then here movement from next to my bed and as I glance over a figure sits up, I jump out a bed and scream. Just as quick as I jump up the figure stands up to face me and I realise that the figure is Elijah, I relax and try to catch my breath. "Shit you scared me" Elijah steps forward to comfort me. "I'm sorry, you ok?" I place my hand on his shoulder "Yeah I'm okay, w, what are you doing here?" I finally catch my breath.

Elijah stands back and strokes his hair "I wanted to make sure you was okay, you wasn't in a good shape last night" for a second I'm confused, and then I remember the events of the night before. Suddenly feeling very embarrassed I turn away "Oh, yeah sorry about that". I hear Elijah sit down "Nothing to be sorry about, it was nothing" for a few moments we stand in silence. "So, does my aunt know you're here?" I ask and realise she must have saw me in a state last night. "It's okay when we got here your aunt was asleep I texted her from your phone to let her know you was ok, but no she doesn't know I'm here though so I better be going" He stands up and makes his way to the window. "Wait you're going out the window?" I asked him and step forward to see him better. He smiles at me and makes me smile along with him "It's okay, I know what I'm doing". Just before he can climb out the window I reach forward to touch his shoulder he turns towards me with half his body out the window "Thanks" he smiles once again and disappears out the window.

After showering and getting changed I head downstairs to eat, I look at the clock once I reach the kitchen and realise its 11am which means Sarah is already at work. So I decide to make myself some toast and watch some daytime soap opera. A tear escaped my eye when I am reminded of parents yet again. But before my depression could get worse my phone vibrated Mel, you okay? You was out of it last night I looked at the text from Sammy and replied quickly Yeah I'm okay Sammy, and sorry about that.

I turn of the TV and head up stairs, I sit on my bed when my phone vibrates again Thank god, and it's okay Mel, so how's Elijah? I laugh at her text unsure of how to respond. I decide that I don't want to discuss it over text and feeling lonely I invite her over, you want to come over, explain to you in person. It takes Sam seconds to reply be over in ten I smile at how quick she can get here.

When Sam gets here we sit watching movies as I tell her what happened last night and this morning with Elijah. "Ok, now I'm sure he likes you" she lightly pushes me and laughs. I can't help but go red at the thought of him liking me "He doesn't, he was just being nice" I look away to hide my red face. "Ha, Mel nice is opening a door for you, not sleeping on your floor just to make sure you are ok" I smile and shake of the thought, I'm a mess no way can someone like him like me. We continue watching moves when my phone vibrates, sams the only one who really texts me so I'm shocked when I read the text Hey Amelia, its Elijah I programmed my number into your phone, hope that's okay. Well I was wondering if you wanted to come out with me tonight, if you want.

In shock I show the text to Sam, she immediately giggles and starts jumping up and down "Oh my god, I told you, you have to go Mel" unsure of what to say or do I just stare at my phone. "I dunno Sammy" Sam grabs my hands and stands me up next to her "Come on he likes you and you clearly like him" she wasn't wrong I did like him he was perfect who wouldn't like him, and maybe he did like me. I smiled at looked up at Sam "Fine ok" she screams with excitement. "Yay okay reply to him and let's get you ready" I look down at my phone and reply to Elijah Hey that's cool, and yeah id love too. I press send and me and Sam head up stairs to my room. I quickly receive a reply from Elijah It's a date, pick you up at 7. A date? I smile with excitement, I glance at the time and notice its 4, I better get ready.

Sam helps me pick out an outfit, since Elijah never stated where we was going we decide to go with casual clothes but still making an effort. I end up wearing a cute summer dress, I choose to wear my converses as I have no other acceptable shoes Sam agrees she says it looks edgy which makes me laugh. I do my make up as Sam does my hair. Finally ready, Sam heads home and I wait for Elijah. *Knock*Knock* he's here, I stand up and take a deep breath as I head to answer the door. When I open the door I'm greeted to Elijah holding out some flowers, I stop and smile at him. He really is perfect.
