Loving Hayes #2

Chapter 13 : Reminder: I own You

Daria's POV

Previously

That's impossible. He can't be alive.

"Surprise surprise." Me and Kate jumped then turned around. My jaw dropped as I saw him.

I stared at him in disbelief. How-w is he alive?

"Elijah."

--------

Now

"Elijah?" I said with disbelief.

He gave me a sheepish smile that turned into a smirk.

"Miss me?" Hearing his deep familiar voice reminded me of our memories together.

My eyes teared up and I threw my arms around him crying into his chest. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I breathed in his scent.
I felt his lips on my neck sniffing my hair.

God. I can't believe he's here. My one and only best friend.

"Elijah." I said again staring into his blue eyes.
He smiled brushing a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"How-w are you alive? I-I saw you die-e."

"Everything will be explained, sunshine."

Kate cleared her throat holding the files.
"What are you doing..here?" I asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"I was coming here to get my revenge on Artemis but found you two and that's how I heard his nasty plan. Though it didn't seem clear to both of you." He explain running a hand through his dark brown hair.

"Wait..your name starts with an 'E'..were You the one texting us?" Kate asked with narrowed eyes.

He looked confused as he knitted his eyebrows.

"What texts?"

I sighed and slang my arm around his torso.

"Now mind explaining?" Kate asked with a grin.

"Yeah when we get out of here." He said and grabbed our arms dragging us out.

We sat in my car and sighed.

"Who is this?" Kate asked me.

"Best friend. Brother. Supposed to be dead." I said glaring at him.

"I had to fake my death, Dee. It's complicated. Am sure you don't wanna know. It's kinda boring."

"Well at least you're hot so I don't mind." Kate said grinning and wiggling her eyebrows.

I gagged and shivered with disgust.

Just then the others came.

"Jesus Christ. Who is this?" Madison said out of fear.

"Dont worry he's a friend."

They gave me the look but got in the car anyway.

As we drove in silence I was still in shock but what go me more intrigued is that I knew he knows a lot about Artemis and his plan. And I have to find out.

We all walked into my dorm as Elijah looked around then at Madison. Wait at Madison?

He sat down not taking his eyes off her. I held in my smile as I cleared my throat and he looked at me.

"Madz, Darcy this is Elijah. My childhood Bestie." I said rolling my eyes.

He placed me on his lap and I snuggled closer to him.
People used to think we are dating. But it's just that he is the only guy I feel free to hug without having the sexual attention.
