Elijah best lol

Beach Shore Pt.3

FINAL PART

The sky had become slightly dim as the day went on. It was obvious the sun was going to start setting soon, so with that realization, one of Elijah's friends stood up to start packing. Like dominos the rest of them followed and helped out. The chairs were folded back up, trash was picked up, and items were packed into bags. I looked over to see Elijah's upset face with his eyes following their movements.

"I wanted to walk around the city!" He threw his hands up in drunken frustration. He only continued to drink as the day went on which made him more and more unreasonable. His friend, Dylan, objected. They were all tired.

"Sucks, it's getting late and-"

"We could go around the city." I cut him off to offer a solution. I looked over to see Elijah's eager grin as he waited for a response from Dylan.

"I guess. It's just, we were gonna head back home right now and take the car so..."

"That's fine, I came here in my own car. I'll just drop Elijah off when we're done." I added on. I didn't mind letting Elijah get what he wanted and besides I wanted to walk around the city for myself as well. Dylan shrugged and wished us the best. Him and the rest of the group walked off carrying the heavy items back to their car getting further and further away. I turned my head to look at Elijah who was very excited.

"Yeaa!" Elijah reached over for a dap and tightly held my hand at the end. I've provided something for him that his friends hadn't.

After getting my stuff packed into the car we started to walk to the nearby city, following a sidewalk till we came across the nearest shop. Each side of the large street was lined up with buildings of all sizes advertising different items or food. Every shop was unique with its own paint job and decorations but they still seemed to fit in together. Dim street lights lit the walkways with small, hanging decor tied to each post in a zigzag. The shiny decor reflected the light of the city lamps, creating a glistening effect in the gray sky. This beautiful scenery was peaceful and could only be improved with Elijah's presence. While walking side by side with him, I couldn't help but laugh as he stayed in awe of everything he saw from the shops to the lights. His shitfaced smile only made me laugh more as he questioned why I was giggling. Oblivious to his own intoxication. He looked like a curious and overly excited dog wagging its tail.

"Don't worry about it." I smiled, biting my lip while watching him walk ahead of me to look at another beautifully decorated building.

Getting to the end of the city's sidewalk, Elijah became increasingly more tired. Both of our feet ached and our legs grew sore. I continued to follow Elijah while he walked a few feet ahead. He then suddenly stopped and plopped down onto a conveniently placed bench. It's almost like they knew people would stop here as there were rows of benches lined up along this area of the sidewalk. Upon sitting down, Elijah crossed his arms to wrap his own body. I assume this was because of the coldness due the late afternoon. Every icy breeze could be felt along your skin. I guess that's what happens when you relax near an ocean. I decided to sit down next to him to hopefully not leave him shivering. His tired eyes glanced up at me with heavy blinks. This was his crash. His head slowly lulled to the side as his body started to give out. Eventually his head hit my shoulder and the rest of his body curled up to me. One of his arms wrapped around mine as he dug his face more and more into my shoulder. I knew the alcohol in his system was definitely taking over, causing him to not think twice about his actions. But it was nice. I wanted to make sure he never held a second thought of worry or resistance when it came to me. He's finally letting go and I let him have me. I let him take my shoulder. I was helping him.

I take care of you. And I wished you'd see it. I wish you could understand the way I think about you. I wish you weren't so opposed to my touch normally and could comfortably embrace this without a second thought. I wish these issues weren't so difficult and out of my control. I wish you could just love me the way I love you.
