You and Him Against the World

Chapter Eleven

When we walk up to the front of my house I get nervous. I stop and look at the door then at Clay. He notices and sets everything on the steps. "Lizzy it's okay, I put in and alarm and cameras," he say, "so if any one gets in we and the cops will know about it." I look him in the eye and nod sternly. He squeezes my hand and sweeps me up in a bridal way. I flinch and the sudden move but can't help but giggle. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss the tip of his nose. He packs me inside and lays me on the couch. He heads back outside too get everything and bring all of it in. I take my phone out and text Lilac

Bestie:np and hey that Clay guy 😜👍 when we're u gonna tell me about him

I smile at the thought. "Why you smiling," Clay asks leaning in the door way. "Oh...ummm Lilac is naming her baby after me," I say getting up. "So the baby is a girl," he says as he walks to me. I giggle he is so cute, "no Darling James Eliot is his name." He looks down at me with a smirk, "oooh so your mocking me now." I wrap my arms around his waist, "noooo Darling, I would NEVER," I say with a voice full of sarcasm. He laughs and lifts me to his mouth. I kiss him and get down. "Tell me what happened," I say serious. "What do you mean," he asks walking to the couch. "After I passed out, what happened," I ask,more forcefully, "did they catch the man I stuck to the floor?" He looks up and shakes his head, "when I got here you were past out on the stretcher, I talked to the police and they said he got away." I stand there in shock, then fear comes over me. I started shaking and the tears spill. "Why me, out of everyone me," I sob, "I don't want too die, I want too be with you." I slide to the floor and notice the hole I made with the knife. I stay there and look at the hole, Clay tried too pick me up but I fought him. He eventually stopped and left me there. The next thing I know is its night time and Clay is laying a blanket on me. Then he heads up stairs. I lay there all night and stare in space. The next morning I fall asleep and have a dream.

Flashback
I am with my step mom and we are eating at a fast food place. She is looking at me but I keep looking out the window. Our food came, the smell of my favorite fries made me turn and look at her. "There are those beautiful grey eyes," mom starts, "how are you feeling baby?" I look at her in the eyes, "mom I'm not a baby anymore, I'm nineteen now." She looks at me, "I know but it's only been a year sinc-" I jump up, "you promised me you wouldn't bring him up!" I say hitting the table. She looks up shocked by my reaction. "Elizabeth I might not be your biological mom but I'm the last person you have that is real family, so please act like an adult," she says raising her voice a tad bit. She takes a deep breath and eats a bite of fries. I shove my food and look at her, "so you wanna talk about Father, then let's talk about him." She looks up and opens her mouth but then closes it. "That's what I thought there is nothing too talk about, besides him trying too kill me," I say that last part with tears in my eyes. I get up and leave. I pay on the way out.
