THE KIND OF GIRL THAT MADE YOU WANT TO MOVE TO FRANCE

♡♡♡

✨Adeline✨

How could he ? 

He promised, never again. He told me he would never hurt me again but I saw it. I saw the photo of him smiling at the girl who hurt me. She had her hand on Elias...my Elias.

I couldn't even look at him. Not as he pleaded with me and called my name and begged for me to listen. Not even as I got out of the car barely registering the sound of my own footsteps echoing in the loud and empty parking lot or the loud slam of a door and even heavier footsteps chasing after me. 

I just couldn't do it. I was finally happy I felt like I had found my person and now I felt like my heart was being ripped from the inside of my chest. 

"Adeline stop" I hear Elias's deep voice behind me as I make it out onto the main road not even knowing where I was headed I just wanted to be away from here. I felt the rush of wind from the speeding cars along my numb face but I couldn't care less I just needed to get away. 

I didn't pay attention to the fact that I had walked so far away that I was nearing the edge of the main road. All I could think about were her hands on him and the how he had been smiling down at her. 

I cherished every one of those smiles and everything we've been through...it was just all too much. 

I felt the tears streaming down my face and I felt myself take a step forward as I heard Elias yell my name again this time more urgently. 

I heard a huge horn beep and I whipped my head around only to find a huge eighteen wheeler barreling towards me headlights beaming. I opened my mouth to scream but instead I closed my eyes and put my hands around my body as if preparing for impact, Then suddenly I felt two rough hands wrap around my waist and roughly pull me away.

I squealed in surprise and immediately wrapped my hands around the person who I undoubtedly knew was Elias in fear.

I smelt his cologne all over me and suddenly I wanted to just wrap my arms around him and stay there forever except the picture of him and Ashely flashes in my head and I suddenly remember why I was almost hit by a truck. 

My own stupidity obviously but also my hurt feelings.

"Fuck baby, are you okay?"  I hear Elias say but i'm just in shock standing there with his arms wrapped around me.

I feel him turn me around so i'm standing in front of him and I see his eyes enraged and a twinge of fear in them as he roams them across my body. He grabs both my cheeks with his hands and drops his soft lips to my forehead as he lets out a harsh breath.

He drops another kiss to my cheek and I hear him mumble a thank god but I don't even think he's aware of what he's saying. 

I push him away and mumble a small...

"Get away from me." 

I take a couple steps back because if I stay close to him I might actually loose my mind and forget that I am furious with him. 

'What do you mean baby?" Elias says his voice so soft it makes my heart hurt that much more.

I sniffle slightly and feel the dry tears on my face being replaced by new ones as my eyes burn. I stare at the ground because I just couldn't bring myself to look at him. 

"That bi- girl that girl was nothing. I promise you nothing happened" Elias says slowly as if he's testing the waters. 

I don't respond and honestly it's because I don't know what to say. We both saw the picture.
