Eliza Young

Chapter 12

~AN: So I have to put an authors note here because there is a trigger warning here. If you are someone who can get triggered by self harm, please don't read this.  This is the last chapter of Eliza Young as well. I enjoyed writing this small story, and i hope it's not weird of me to say I like writing stories like this. Anyways. I hope you all enjoy this. :)

I finally let go of his wrist, still stricken with fear of what had just happened. Was this all just a dream, or was this real life? I just don't know anymore. I looked up into his eyes. He looked so calm. Why did he look so calm?

"Earth to Eliza. Where are you?"

"Oh! Sorry, sorry. I was just..."

"Thinking? You've been doing a lot of that lately. Do you want to talk about it?" I really don't want to talk about it. I have kept the fact that the voices had came back from him for almost seven months now. He would never forgive me if I were to tell him now. "Eliza?"

"Huh? Oh, no. Don't worry about it. I'm fine" I lied. I feel like this relationship is only built on my lies now. I don't want him to figure out what has been going on in my head, but I don't want to lie to him anymore. I need to face my own demons. I don't need Ashton to hold my hand for the rest of my life.

"Well, Miss Young. Are you ready to head over to your house?"

"Yes, Mister Science, let's go." We hopped into the car and that was when I got a random call. It was Teria.

"Sup Eliza"

"Hey, I'm actually on my way back home. What are you up too?"

"I'm outside of your house right now, to be honest. Wanted to know if you were home or not."

"Oh, well, you know where the spare key is right?"

"In the mail box?"

"Yeah. Go ahead and go inside. We will be there in a few minutes."

"We?"

"Yeah, Ashton is coming over as well"

"Alright. I'll let you go then." Then she hung up. Why is Teria here, and on a Thursday?

We finally make it to my house and saw that Teria was standing outside.

"Eliza! Hey girl!" she ran up to me and gave me a small hug. I am beyond confused as to why she is here.

"I love you and all Teria, but don't you have school tomorrow?"

"Oh Eliza, tomorrow is teacher in service day. No school for us!" Well, I can see where this is going. "Can I stay the night? Too late, I already made my bed" I knew it. 

"I guess you can stay, but I have to work on my story." I told her. I guess Ashton will have someone to play video games with now since I will be too engrossed with my writing. I placed my backpack on my couch and started to make dinner for the three of us. Homemade pizza tonight.

"Eliza, you go ahead and start on your work, I'll finish up here." Ashton said as he came up behind me, arms enveloped around my waist. I felt so safe in his arms, like nothing could get me. Not even the voices.

"Are you sure, Mister Science?"

"Yes, I'm sure. You have been working your little butt off for the past week. You need to just worry about one thing instead of three or five." He said as he placed a kiss on my forehead. I loved him so much.

"Okay, but if you need help you are to ask me and not Teria. I don't want the place to catch on fire."

"I heard that bitch! It only happened once and we put the fire out!" Teria yelled. I giggled at her comment.
