Like Enemies to Lovers[ON HOLD]

Chapter Seven| Blood

I woke up in my bed, I don't know how but I guess I forgot.

I open the fridge looking for salad or something to eat but I find nothing. When I close the fridge Emma scares me, I fall back back screaming as I hit my head on the counter.

"Ow, Emma." she pulls my arm helping me up balancing me on my feet.

"I'm sorry I wanted to scare you, I didn't think you would fall."

"It's okay, you're fine," when I look at her she has a grin plastered on her face.

"I didn't mean it like that." Emma hugs me saying goodnight before leaving to her room. I hear keys jangling in the door knob so I hide behind the counter.

Elijah?

"Why are you hiding behind the counter," his voice is deep and husky making a shiver go down my spine. It's just Elijah so I come from behind the counter.

"Oh it's just you, sor-" a gasp leaves my voice when I see bruises, and stab wounds through his ripped shirt, also black eye on his face.

"What happened!" Without thinking I run up to Elijah sitting him down on a chair.

"It's nothing," he tries to get up but I sit him back down making him wince.

"Sorry, stay here please," he sighs nodding his head so I get up look for a first aid kit or bandage wraps in the kitchen.

I climb on top of the counter to reach the first aid kit but get interrupted by Elijah's laugh. In shock I turn around to look at him, he doesn't look like the type of guy to laugh.

"What are you looking at, im trying to find something to help you," my face turns red as his eyes travel up and down my body.

I grab the box and get down from the counter. Getting a chair I push it in front of Elijah and sit down. I even look short sitting in a chair next to him.

"Take your shirt off," my face flushes in embarrassment when I see the grin stuck on his face.

"If you say so Amore mio." I didn't mean it like that, never mind. He starts to unbutton his shirt slowly to tease me so I look away until he's done.

Once he's done I look at all the stab wounds and bruises on his chest and tummy.

"Elijah. What happened," he doesn't answer, I take the bandages, ointment, and thread out of the first aid kit.

I put ointment on all the bruises first, I never noticed how muscular he is. Grabbing the thread I start to stitch up his deep wounds.

I didn't really need the bandages but I cover his stab wound and put tape around it so it will stay in place.

"What are you a doctor," he asked sarcastically.

"I have some experience from past times." I lowered my head finishing to stitch Elijah up as my breathing becomes faster which Elijah seems to notice.

"What do you mean by that Amore," his eyes darken, I stand up from my chair leading him his room.

"It's nothing don't worry about it, good night." I walk out of the room closing his door. As I was about to walk into my room I hear his phone ring. I know I shouldn't eavesdrop but I just wanted to know what his phone call was about.

"Did you kill him son," kill. Is that why he was hurt. Please don't say yes.

"Yes father," father? Elijah's voice is deeper than ever. He killed someone. He's a murderer.

"You know our rivals right, the Vexions," what, that's my last name. What do they mean by rivals. Maybe they are talking about someone else.

"I do, Dan told me when I interrogated him, before killing him," what is going on. An interrogation.

"I have the same dorm as their fucking daughter and you didn't want to tell me we are fucking rivals!" What, so they are talking about my family. We are rivals with his? Why, why are we rivals?

"Well your mother killed Mabel Vexion when she was pregnant but her daughter survived by some miracle, I need you to kill her, Mariyah Vexions," my name comes off his tongue as a curse. He's going to kill. Im going to die.

You know what no im not, he's not going to kill me, he wouldn't, would he?

I sprint inside my room locking the door putting a chair in front of it. God please don't let me die in my sleep. I'm 17 for gods sake, I haven't even had my first kiss yet.

I sit in my bed under the covers. My mom is dead. His mom killed mine and I survived. Why did I have to survive. Why did I even help him? I hate him.

I try not to go to sleep because of my night terrors that have been happening for the past ten years, but I drift into a deep sleep.

"Hey Elijah can you cook some food please im starving!" He doesn't answer so I go into his room to check on him.

"Elijah wake up im hungry" I whine

"What do you need Amore" he has his sleepy husky voice, hot.

"Pancakes please" he laughs at my smile and gets up from his bed.

I jump into his arms hugging him.

"Thank you, krasivyy"
(Translation: handsome)

While Elijah is cooking im sat in a chair staring at him, he looks like an enchanting Greek god.

"Close your eyes, Amore" why im hungry.

"Why" I ask tilting my head he glares at me so I sigh turning around closing my eyes.

I hear a plate set down in front of me with a kiss on my head.

"Fuck you" before I could answer I feel a knife going into my side.

"AHH" I jump up from my chair running to the other side of the kitchen but Elijah tackles me down holding my throat with me on the floor.

"Your mother deserved to die know it's your turn" what's happening, why. I begin sobbing pleading for him to stop.

He grabs his gun shooting me in the leg.

"ELIJAH STOP PLEASE" I try to move away but he doesn't budge.

Hee shoots me in the arm making me scream to the top of my lungs. At this point im sobbing with blood everywhere begging for him to let me go.

"I never loved you" the words make me shiver before shooting me on the head.

"MARIYAH WAKE UP!" I wake up with sweat covered all over me and tears on my face. Elijah. No, no.

"No, no. Get away from me please." I start shaking as I move away from him he comes closer.

The space on the bed is limited and I move too far back making me fall. Ow. I run into the bathroom locking the door before Elijah could walk towards me.

"Amore, what happened, what's wrong, did I do something, are you okay. Answer me" his last words come out as a yell making me move away from the door.

"I'm sorry I'll leave" I respond with nothing letting him leave.
