'Don't want too'
Chapter 22:
(Ella's POV)
I started texting Dylan as soon as I heard Joe go quiet at the other end of the door. I tried calling and calling as well as leaving lot's of voicemails but still I was receiving radio silence. Oh yeah he was at the funeral and I bet he turned his phone off. I still called and texted not giving up but then after what felt like hours of trying, I gave up so I could save my battery. Suddenly I could hear Joe talking like he had been sitting outside the door the whole time.
"Ella I'm sorry" he said sounding upset and disheartened in himself.
"I really am, I didn't want it to come to this, I just wanted you to come back" he said sounding tired. I lent my head on the door and decided on listening to him
"I wanted to be the one you wanted not Dylan" he said as I put my phone back in my bra just in case.
"I knew you wanted to be with him, I knew that from the beginning. And in my head I would sometimes think about what you would do if he came back. I thought you might drop me if he wanted you again, I guess I was right then" he said but I interrupted him.
"That's not how it was" I stated
"Well its how it looked" he argued
"I came back after talking things through with him to see what I wanted in the end because I was put in a terrible position. But when I came back, it was the night I found out about you, you made my choice clear" I exclaimed.
"You had left with him" he shouted
"I needed to talk to him" I shouted back
"But I needed to talk to you" he argued
"How would I know that if you didn't tell me? I'm not psychic" I stated before we both fell into silence. I felt my throat tighten as dehydration made it dry.
"Can I get some water?" I asked knocking on the door.
"Yeah sure" he huffed before I heard a shuffle and then silence. I looked at my phone again and called him to see if it would work but it went to answer machine. All of a sudden making ms jump, There was a knock on the door, making me rush to put my phone back in my bra.
"Here's your water" he said unlocking the door ,opening the door and putting the glass of water by the side of the door before quickly closing it and locking it again. I heard a thud in the door as if he had leaned on the door as I grabbed the water but struggling due to my wrist and gulped it down until it was all gone.
"I want you to be like me" he said quietly but again, I let him say his peace.
"That's stupid because I like you the way you are but I don't want you to be fragile anymore" he explained this as his plan
He wants to make me immortal
"If your immortal, i will have an eternity to make up with you, and then maybe who knows, you might be with me" he said. His plan made me sick. Eventhoug immortality is something everyone wants, I don't think I'll be able to watch the people I love around me die and grow old. I need to live a natural,normal life and this is something I do not want.
"please don't" I said as tears fell down me
"Im sorry but I have too" he said, his words sounding forced. I started crying as I heard him leave the door.
"Dylan" I whispered my whole body collapsing to the floor and gently falling to sleep in a pool of my tears and desperation. I woke up by my phone buzzing in my bra and I answered it straight away
"Dylan! Dylan!" I lightly whispered but shouted down the phone
"Ella!" He said getting my attention
"It's Joe, he said he's going to make me immortal, please come quick" i said feeling the desperation of getting out of here hitting me hard.
"Calm down, i'll be there as soon as i can" he said trying to keep my cool about the situation
"Hurry!" I whispers loudly down the phone. I looked at the phone as he hung up and put it on the ground. I picked my body up from the floor and ran to the window. I could see the cars driving past and the car park for the apartment block. After 5 minutes of people watching, I see Dylan's car drive in and park in a spot. He got out, took of his jacket which he put back I the car and he started to roll up his sleeve's as he walked towards the building. I blushed seeing him like this, it was kind of hot but I wouldn't want to get on his bad side right now. I grabbed my wrist as the pain flared up again and made me way to the door before I started banging to let me out again as a distraction.
"Let me out!" I shouted banging with my good wrist.
"Oi Ella stop banging" he said banging back making me jump
"I will when you let me go" I replied back.
"You know that's not going to happen" he said
"Well then I'm not going to stop then" I said before I carried on banging the door. Joe went quiet for a few minutes whilst I carried on banging. The door was unlocked surprisingly as I was knocking so I jumped back onto the bed. Joe jumped onto me, kissed me on the lips abruptly and jabbed a needle into my arm, i screamed out in shock. He let go when we heard a loud thump like a door being bashed in.
"What the?" Joe asked before going somewhere else locking the door behind him. From then on I heard lots of thumps and items breaking, knowing full right that Dylan was home. I decided to bang on the door and start to shout out to get Dylan's attention.
"Dylan!" I shouted welling up whilst banging on the door, making sure I was being careful not to injure my wrist. My arm was feeling weak since the incident moments ago.
"Dylan!" I shouted again and I heard the door being banged on so I stood back. Dylan broke down the door quickly and slammed his body to mine and held me. He rested his head in my neck and I held him as tight as I could but still being careful about my arm and wrist.
"Are you?" He asked still holding me referring to immortality. He let go of me and held me at arms length to look at me. I let my tears go and nodded.
