Not a believer hawk/eli moskowitz x y/n

The end of the school day comes quickly, the final bell rings through my head. All the hours I was here blended together after Jj left, I still feel the weight of his hands on my hips. I push my way out of school as fast as I can. When I finally get outside I see Eli standing with Miguel and Demetri. Eli had skipped all his lessons today and when I texted him asking where he was, he didn't reply. I decide to make my way over to him and his friends.

"Hey, where was you?" I ask and they all turn around to look at me. I pay attention to most things and I like to analyse most people in my head, its something I had done from a young age. When the boys turned around to face me, Eli's hand went straight behind his back, hiding them from me. I give him a confused look and he stares blankly at me.

"Oh uh... My mom wanted me so I went to help her out at home." He says stiffly. Demetri and Miguel are staring at me uncertainly, trying to see if I believe the lies Eli is feeding me with a silver spoon.

"Aww that's nice, maybe the truth this time." Eli sighs loudly and keeps his hands out of sight. "Why are you lying to me?" He doesn't answer me but his face is pleading. "And why are you hiding your hands from me." I pull them from behind his back. My hands are immensely covered in blood. I stumble back the blood all over my hands. "Who's blood is this?"

"Y/n, don't freak out okay?" He says stepping forwards and grabbing his blood covered hands with mine.

"Whos. Fucking. blood. is. it?" I spit out and shoving his hands away. What has he done? Has he killed someone? Will he go to prison?

"Look, he'll tell you everything. He needs to get out of here now, there's security footage and way to many people around." Demetri whispers. I nod quickly and we all walk to Eli's car, we get in silently and drive aimlessly.

"Its Jj's blood. I lost my temper with him." Eli's eyes are on the road but I'm looking at him concerned. Did he kill Jj? But Eli continues, "He's still alive but barely, Miguel came to check on us and stopped me. He was bad y/n. I told him if he came anywhere near you again I would kill him." I'm lost for words, I get Eli was trying to help but he's going to get himself chucked in prison. "I was gone all day because I was taking Jj to the airport and forcing him to buy a ticket out of here, then he turned around and said he would be back. That's when it happened. He ended up missing his flight so I put him on a coach. He's gone." I sigh. I didn't need Hawk to do that, he could get is serious trouble now. If Jj ever talked, I doubt he would but Eli would be sent to jail for assult or even attempted murder by the amount of blood on Eli's knuckles. "Say something y/n."

"I don't know what to say." I admit, I'm thankful he's protecting me, but he's risking so much for a situation I handled. Even if Jj did come back I wouldv'e told him to go away again, nothing else would have happened. I'm kind of happy Eli beat him to a pulp though. I stayed in bed heartbrokem for a week straight while he was already with another girl. "I just don't want you to get in trouble for defending me."

Eli lets out a breathe he had been holding, "Thank God, I thought you would be so pissed of at me. I know you loved him and everything so I didn't know how you would react."

"Oh I'm pissed just not for that reason." I turn to look at him sideways. "Why did you come to the school? You have blood on you."

He shrugs. "I wasn't thinking I just know I needed to see you and tell you before you found out some other way. Miguel texted Demetri so that we could meet up and be quick to get you too."

I nod. "Can you just drop me home please?" Eli looks upset but nods at me. We stay silent the rest of the ride, I'm not mad I'm just tired so much has happened in one day and it's all to much to comprehend. We arrive at the apartments painstakingly slowly and I jump out the car with a small smile to the boys before I close the door and walk off. I watch as Miguel gets out aswell and makes his way over to his apartment.
