Stolen

So Close

At some point I fell back asleep. I looked at my phone and it was now 3:31 pm.
I heard screaming and yelling come from the living room.
"Just let her go goddamn it!" Anthony screamed.
"That girl, made her own fucking decision but chose to stay! She is staying!" Eli yelled back at him.
Slowly and quietly I made my way to the entrance of the living room, but I stayed behind the wall so they couldn't see me.
"Why do you want her to stay so goddamn much? You told Justin yourself that you hated her and wanted her gone, so why fight to make her stay?" Anthony said in a rough voice.
I poked my head out slightly and saw Anthony in Eli's face.
Eli didn't say a word for a while, he just looked at Anthony.
Anthony's face softened, and a wave of realization hit him. "You... No!" Anthony said annoyed and stared coming this way.
I quickly ran into my room and shut the door, and soon after my door opened.
I looked over, "Anthony?" I asked.
He just looked at me, tears starting to form.
I got nervous but the look in his eyes, "Anthony, what's going on?" I asked a tad scared.
"I'm getting you out of here." He whispered as if it was toxic in his mouth.
"What?" I said completely shocked.
He didn't say a word, he just opened the window and climbed out and helped me out.
He took my hand and we ran.
After a while we stopped for a break I recognized the area. I was actually going to go home. I'm going to be free. I looked at Anthony, "Anthony what is going on?" I asked hoping for answers.
"I'm getting you home, that's what's happening." Anthony said looking away from me.
"But I heard you and Eli. Why are you doing this?" I asked.
He still wouldn't look at me, and he didn't say anything.
"Anthony..." I said his name softly.
After a slight pause he looked at me with serious eyes, "I-"
He was cut off when Eli yelled his name pissed.
"Anthony! The fuck are you doing!?" Eli yelled coming towards us.
Anthony said nothing.
Eli scuffed, "You are way too damn close to the girl. I'm talking to Justin and making sure you aren't responsible for her anymore." Eli said grabbing my arm pulling me away from Anthony.
I looked at Anthony then to Eli then back to Anthony as Eli started dragging me away back to the house.
Eli never let go of my arm, even once we got to the house he still had his grip on me.
"Justin!" Eli said as we stormed into his room.
"What Eli?" Justin said barley looking up from his phone.
"She needs to be assigned to someone else. Anthony tried to take off with her." Eli said.
Justin's head shot up and looked at Eli, "That isn't like Anthony." Justin looked at me and he narrowed his eyes, "Is that true?"
I didn't say anything, I didn't want to get him in trouble.
"Just speak goddamnit." Eli said annoyed.
After a minute I spoke up, "Yes..." I said softly.
Justin sighed, "She's yours again Eli, I'm not dealing with her."
Eli groaned in response, "Why do you think I want to deal with her?"
Justin just looked at Eli, "Fine whatever, I'll take care of her again." Eli said in defeat.
Still holding my arm we went to his room.
He sat on his bed loosening his grip on my arm, "You're a pain in my ass." Eli said with a heavy sigh.
"I'm sorry..." I said.
"Looks like I'm stuck with you for who knows how long." Eli said slightly annoyed but I looked at him and he seemed happy that he had to take care of me again.
It looked as if  he was smiling slightly. Once I saw that my heart skipped a beat. I've never really seen him smile before.
"What?" Eli said looking at me.
I snapped back to reality, "Oh! Nothing." I said looking away.
He rolled his eyes and laid back in his bed.
