"Hey Madison! Are you hungry?" I asked, as we lounged on my couch, watching a chic-flick.
"Yeah, I'm hungry, since you almost ate all the ice-cream." She muttered.
"Hey! I did not. You eat really slow, not my problem." I held my hands up in surrender, acting innocent.
"Yeah, because people try to have fun while eating ice-cream and not hog like you, dude I rather would have dropped it on your head." She said, and I started laughing, always the bad-ass.
"Okay, okay, I'll call mom and ask her to get us something to eat, she would probably be at the grocery store anyway." I said, as I looked around for my phone.
"Ms. Spears is the best." Madison said smirking.
Yeah she is, of course she is, my mom, my hero.
"Momiieee!" I sang as she picked up.
"What? More ice-cream?" She replied directly.
I sighed.
"You know me too well." I smiled.
"Of course I do silly, good you called me, I just came in the parking lot, I'll be there in 20 okay?" She said, I bet she was smiling.
"I love you! Bye!" I said
"I love you too, Amy, bye." She said.
"Amy again? Why do even call me that..?" I asked annoyed. I don't like that name at all.
"You'll know, maybe one day sooner." She replied. She never told me the reason, maybe there is no reason.
And then we hung up.

"El! It's been an hour up, where is your mom?" Madison asked.
I checked the time, and then I called mom again. My heart beating in my chest.
"Hello?" Someone else answered, as the almost last ring.
"Where's m-my mom?" I asked.
"Oh, I'm from the city hospital, she'd been in an accident, The people around bought her here, I was just about to contact someone, I'm so sorry, but it was too late when they bought her here...."
She went on going, but I couldn't hear anything.
Madison stayed next to me, while I screamed.

And then something hard hit my head, I could feel it stinging on my head, and then I fell outside, but there was something keeping me from falling, Oh yes the seatbelt. I opened my eyes, to see if I was still dreaming, and realised my face was inches away from the moving ground.
I tried to move, tried to come up, and then I saw, an electricity pole, that was going to hit me, oh god no, I'm going to die now.
Everything went in slow motion, Is this what death feels like? Slow?
I closed my eyes, and waited for it to take my life, to kill me, but It never happened, when I was yanked by my hand inside the car again.

"Eliza!! Are you alright?" Someone said, but I didn't know, what was happening.
"Shit." Someone muttered. And I heard the car door slam, and mine was opened.
Alex.
He knelled on the road, beside my seat, and took my face in his hands.
"Eliza, look at me, it's good, you're safe, I'm here, say something El, please."
I realised it then, I was having a panic attack.
"I'm fine." I said.
Alex picked me up bridal style, and we headed towards what looked like a barn. It was beautiful. Small, colourful flowers around, a small cabin in the middle, and few logs around a bon-fire. We entered inside the cabin.
Which had a medium size bed, a small kitchen area at the side, and a small area which looked like a closet. Alex placed me gently on a chair by the bed.
"Tessa always keeps some clothes here, you can change, I-um... I'll be outside." He said.
I nodded.
"Alex?" I stopped him when he was about to leave.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
He gave me a small grin, that instantly made my heart melt.

I looked through the closet, and found an orange full-sleeved top and white denim shorts. They smelled of fresh detergent, maybe Tessa often visits...
"You and Tessa come here a lot?" I asked as I made my way out to the Bon-fire where Alex was sitting.
"No, not really, Tessa doesn't like to come here, and I haven't come here in a while too, You know college and everything, but I like it here." He said.

Strange.

"But these clothes are like newly washed." I said confused.
"Eliza, come here." Alex said, and I made my way to sit near him.
"I know things have been rather messed up, but It'll be good, don't worry I'm here, we'll get through this together. You're safe here." He said, and I hugged him.

Why was I suddenly scared of everything? Every person around me is like a suspect to me, like everyone's out there to hurt me.
This place, next to him feels, good and safe.

"El?" He said after a long time.
"yeah?"
"The thing you told Daren in the morning, that you are sure of your feelings now, what did you mean?" He said, ever so innocently.

I smiled.
"I think I've never loved him, the way I thought I did, and I realised that when I met someone."
"Who?" He asked instantly. I was enjoying seeing him so eager.
"You" I whispered looking sideways. But when I looked at him again, there was a full blown grin on his face, a pure form of happiness and love shinning in his eyes, I couldn't help but smile at that.

"I love you Eliza." He whispered in my ear, which sent a shiver down my spine.

"I love you Alex." I said.
******

We came inside as it suddenly got really cold, and we both were starving, so it seemed the perfect season to eat some spicy pasta.
"The pasta was amazing, where did you learn to cook?" I asked curious.
"My mom is an excellent cook. I learnt it from her." He smiled.
It seemed since we confessed our feelings, we just couldn't stop smiling, and I could never get enough of his dazzling smile.

I was sitting on the kitchen island, when he advanced towards it, stepping between my legs. I caught my breath looking at him in the eye. He caressed my cheeks with the back of his fingers and I found myself leaning into his touch. I felt giddy, by his strong sent, engulfing me as he bought his lips near, more near, and stopped when they were a hair's length away. I could feel his hot breath, tickling me and making me impatient for his lips on mine.
We stayed still, when he finally smiled and got over whatever internal debate he was doing, and his lips touched mine. Butterflies erupted inside my belly, and I couldn't think straight.
As soon as his lips touched they were gone, and I groaned at the back of my throat, Foreign to my own behaviour, I bought my lips to his again. And this time he didn't hold back.
He kissed me with a reverent passion. Making no thought last in my mind but him. I could feel his heat as I run my hands through his back and settled in his smooth silky hair. That seemed to please him, as he made a hungry sound and licked my bottom lip, asking for entrance, which I granted him eagerly. He groaned when his tongue met mine, and he explored every part of my mouth, savouring me. I was lost in his world, but I had to pull away, I needed to breathe. But he did not waste time. He kissed me down my jaw, on my neck below my ear, and sucked my earlobe, to which I moaned.
"Fuck, you're so beautiful Eliza, Just can't get enough." He muttered as he continued kissing me on my shoulders back to my jaw, and my lips.
We pulled away after some time, catching out breathes, staying still, with his arms fixed around my waist and mine in his eyes.
We looked at each other and chuckled slightly.
"Happy birthday." He whispered, and I realised it still was my birthday.
I smiled, and let him carry me to bed.
I slept in his arms, and that was the first in a thousand nights, I slept without a nightmare.
I slept, feeling safe, feeling home.

I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but I'm good now, And that's what matters.
