A Few Pictures With You

Ch.10: Goodnight

After Ella's door closes, I hear the bed creak. Elliot's legs are in my view, then his arms, then his face. He grabs my arm and pulls me out from under the bed. I start saying "Ouch" over and over because he's hurting me.

"Oh stop it Jess, i'm not grabbing you that hard" He says as he lets go of me.
I'm standing face to face with him. But he starts to move closer to me and I start to back up. Without realizing his bed was right behind me, I fall onto it.

He towers over me, "How did you get into my room." He says commandingly. My heart is beating so fast, seeing him like this. I can't respond.
"Jess, I know Ella didn't let you in. How did you get in?"

I snap out of it, "What do you mean she didn't let me in?"

"I just know she didn't, we're not allowed to have anyone over this late."He looks away from me. "She told me that she's not talking to you since she needs to cool down." I nod in understanding him.

"I got in through her window." I say almost ashamed.

"What?", He's angry, scared, I can't tell which one. "What do you mean her window?"

"She's only let me go through it to get in-." I pause with the same fear I feel that he has. "What if I left the window open?".

He looks up at the stairs, trying to hear if she's walking around. But it's dead silent. "I think you're good. I mean, of course you never use that brain yours correctly". The way he said it made me look at him, cant believe he said that at a time like this.

"But you use that mouth of yours perfectly fine though". I'm caught off guard. My heart is beating. He gets so close to my lips, I can't resist. He grabs my waist with all of his strength, his pulls me in. We're kissing again. He starts to move his way onto the bed, on top of me. He stops, "I never had a girl in my room like this before," He smirks "I'm so disappointed that it's you of all people". My jaw drops with a slight grin.

"I hate the way you kiss me" I tell him. He looks at my eyes, then my lips, then my eyes again. He gets so close to where our noses almost touch again. "Well I hate all of you". He whispers, grabs me harder and kisses me without room for me to catch my breathe.

It feels like hours are going by but it's only been a good 5 minutes. We're kissing, feeling each other, he's so aggressive with his words but he's being careful with his hands. I think we both start to forget where we are and what time it is. I can't tell if it's my imagination, but i hear the door creak. I ignore it as he moves his hands up my shirt.

About an hour goes by, maybe a little more. I'm unsure. We are laying in his bed facing each other. "I hate your face", I say softly. "I should get going now. If anyone found out I was here with you right now, nothing but horrible reactions." I say as I attempt to get up. But Elliot pulls me back down, again close to his face.

"I have to hate you so I don't allow the love that I have for you ruin everything," Our eyes are locked. He continues, "Jess, please leave, now. Before I keep you here." I stare at him wanting to say that I'd rather stay with him. But he gets up, takes my arm, and pulls me along with him, out of his room all the way to the front door. There is only silence on the way there.

He opens the door quietly. As I walk out he whispers but loud enough to hear from where i'm at, "I hate your face more. Get home safe." Then the door shuts.

I think I'm in love with him.
