The Summer We Found Us | BoyxBoy Romance (18+)

Chapter 14 | Elijah

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

What just happened? Holy shit!

I practically ran back to my room which was hard to do in these pants since Tobias is definitely bigger in the waist size than me.

Fuck, he's bigger everywhere.

Fuck! I shouldn't know that!

My heart was beating outside of my chest by the time I entered my room.

"Eli! I was wondering where you were." Katelyn hopped off my bed and wrapped her arms around my neck. "Mmm, you smell good. Is that new cologne?" She asked looking at my dresser.

No, that's the scent of the hot and sexy, Tobias Voss.

I unwrapped her arms from around me and sat on the bed.

"We should go. Like, now." I breathed. She looked at me confused.

"We're supposed to leave tomorrow morning." She tilted her head.

"I know but I want to go now. I'm done with this little home visit and I want to go." I hurried.

"Jeez. Okay, that's fine." She held up her hand in surrender. "Did something happen?" She asked, beginning to pack away her things in her suitcase.

My stomach dropped. I guess I just cheated on her and she didn't deserve that.

Maybe Tobias was right. Maybe I'm not a nice person.

I clenched my teeth. I hate that his words are getting into my brain. He's always getting so deep into my brain!

He thinks he knows me, he doesn't. I'll prove him wrong.

Then why am I running away?

I breathed out.

"I-um...I shouldn't have brought you here."

"Did I do something wrong?" She shook her head. My heart hurt.

"What? No. No, you did absolutely nothing wrong. I just think...If I'm being honest, I think we're better off as friends. I think I was trying to prove something by having you come with me here and that's not fair to you."

She pursed her lips. "And you waited until now to tell me that?"

I gulped. "Yeah, I guess so. I'm sorry. I should've done it way sooner."

She nodded her head, looking away. "Wow, okay." She bit her lip.

"Are you okay–"

"Let's just fucking go, Elijah." She snapped, throwing in the rest of her clothes.

"Woah, woah. Where are you going? I still have another night with you. We were going to watch movies and eat ramen in front of the TV." Dad scrunched his eyebrows together, almost chasing me out the door.

"I know, but we just really need to get back," I said, tossing my suitcase in the trunk of my car.

Gwen and Tobias were both standing by the doorframe. I was trying to avert my eyes away from Tobias but the darts he was throwing my way were sort of hard to miss. He was pissed that I was leaving, I could see it all over his face.

"I just don't understand." Dad rushed out to hold me in place. "Is this about Tobias? I heard you two fighting upstairs but thought I'd better just leave you two to sort it out on your own. Is it worse? Did I mess up? Should I have stepped in?" He looked at me so worried.
