Eliza Clark: Earth Bound Angel

Chapter 34: No Take Backs

My eyes opened slowly to see that I was in a room with big gray walls. I was laying on a bed in the center of the room while a dresser was on one side along with two windows. (One above the dresser, and the other in front of the bed.) "You were out for a couple of hours. Good thing you woke up too. Thought I would have had to call in the professionals." Rayden told me getting up. I squinted my eyes and sat up. "Take it easy." He told me sitting on the side of the bed. I put a hand to my head feeling a pounding sensation. "We have to get back to school." I told him. Rayden looked at me a long time before at the floor. "You can't handle him." He told me. I leaned against the wall feeling light headed. "I'm fine." I told him. Rayden shook his head and looked at me. "You aren't. You passed out. He drained you. He's poison for you." He told me. I ignored Rayden and threw the covers off of me and tried to stand up. My feet hit the floor and Rayden got up quickly to my side. I stood up straight for a moment before falling forward onto Rayden. "Eliza you have to listen to me-" "I'm fine." I cut him off trying to stand straight. I stood upwards by myself as I got a burst of energy. "Feel like I could run a mile." I said stretching my arms and legs out. I walked towards the door and grabbed it. "Eliza you definitely aren't fine and you need to listen to me." Rayden said. I ignored him and kept walking grabbing my backpack heading leaning beside the door. The hall went down further to my right and to my left was a dining/living room area. "You have to stay away from him." Rayden tried to tell me. "He's not hurting me." I told him finally finding the door out. I opened it and Rayden closed it slamming his hand against the door. "You're going to get yourself killed if you keep hanging out with him." He yelled at me. "And why would you care if I died? I'm not your sister and just barely by chance I'm your friend. And you know what?" I said turning towards him. "Stop before you say something you'll regret." Rayden warned me. "I don't know how you could possibly give up your wings for me when I couldn't do the same for you." I told him. After I said it I instantly regret it and saw Rayden pale and take in a sharp breath. I didn't apologize. Just turned back around and walked out of the door. After I walked for a while making sure that no one was nearby I held my backpack and opened my wings. I soared through the air as hot tears fell from my cheeks. I really wish I didn't say that to Rayden. It was...it was a mistake. I landed near the school as a motorcycle engine reved from a couple blocks down. I hid my face in a jacket I hadn't noticed I was wearing. It must have been Raydens. "Eliza! There you are I looked everywhere for you when you ditched." Warren told me. I instantly felt weak but I ignored him and kept walking. The engine cut off and Warren was close behind me. "Eliza, wait." He called me. I didn't walk fast enough and Warren grabbed my wrist. "Just leave me alone." I told him trying to yank my wrist away. I refused to look at Warren, but his voice was just heavenly. Warren gripped my wrist and pulled me towards him. I hid my face in his chest and he hugged me. "Eliza what's wrong?" He asked me. I sniffled my nose realized what I was doing. "No," I said pulling away. Warren saw my tears but before he could do anything I took a deep breath and a step back. "Warren De Vil, there is something about you. Something that makes me...want to be with you." I admitted'. "That's what love is." He told me. I shook my head and took another step back. "No, it's not love, it's something dark and evil." I told him. Warren paled and looked down at his hands. "You probably know what's going on with you but I don't and unless you tell me right now then I don't want to see you again." I told him clenching my fist. Warren stood still in the same spot his body shaking. "Please just tell me." I begged him. I wanted him so bad and I would rather it kill me than live without him. Warren didn't say anything and I wanted to die when he didn't. "I, I can't tell you." He whispered. My breathing became uneven and all I wanted was him to hold me and tell me it was okay. "For some stupid reason I thought you'd actually tell me." I said feeling sad and angry. Warren stepped forward trying to explain. "Eliza please just-" He tried. My knee wobbled and I took a step back. "No! you're doing something to me and I just-I cant Warren." I sobbed at him. I had started crying at the lack of letting my emotions out. I felt like I couldn't breath. Warrens eyes went wide at seeing me like this and I just wanted to die. "I didn't mean to hurt you like this." He told me. I ignored him as a bell rang loudly from the school. School was out. Me and Warren stared at each other, his eyes begging me to take him back. And no matter how hard I tried...I just couldn't resist. "I want you so bad but your hurting me." I told him truthfully. "I don't want to hurt you." He told me. I looked at his bike then back at him. "Take me home?" I asked. Warren nodded his head and we hopped on his bike to head to my house.
