Our Love Is TIMELESS (BxB)

~Chapter Seven~

Elijah's Pov

I wake up to the smell of something cooking in the kitchen. I have to look around the place to remember that I was at Demi's place. I sit up, wincing at the sudden movement and get out of the bed. I walk out of the room and into the kitchen to be faced to a shirtless Demi. He must sleep naked or something. I chuckle, thinking of how much of a teenage girl I sound like. That must have caught his attention and he turns around to look at me. "Oh. You're up. Good morning." I smile, sitting down at the table with a groan as pain courses through me.

"Are you alright?" Demi looks at me with concern. I sigh, "Not really but I will be fine." He nods, sitting a plate of pancakes in front of me and hands me another bottle full of blood. "That should help you heal faster." We both start to eat, not saying anything to each other until we are done. He takes a sip of his drink and clears his throat. "So what happened to you and why have you been gone for nearly three weeks?" I rub the back of my neck. Three weeks. I thought it was longer. I guess blood loss does that to you. "Well. The head vampire of this clan found out about me being a daylighter and decided to torture me, thinking that would help me remember how I got this way." I shrug, taking a sip of the blood from the bottle. He takes a moment to process his thoughts before speaking again. "Okay..."

A few minutes pass again before he gives me this serious look. "You said you have no memories left, right? Like, how far back can you remember?" "What I have done in the past month. That is all." He nods slowly, thinking through before he speaks once again. "That is all I can remember too."

***

Three hours pass, and I am currently sitting on the top of the building that Demi lives in. I watch the people below me walk by, seeming to mind their own business. There is also couples who are holding hands and look so happy with each other. I dig my hands into my hair in frustration. I wish I knew what these dreams meant. Why I could not remember anything. How come Demi is the same way. Dammit. I hate this. Why can't I think why I am like this? Who did this to me? Why am I a daylighter? Why do the other vampires want to know so bad? That last question was a stupid one. They must want my ability.

I groan, almost losing my balance and falling off the ledge. I feel someone grab my arm, pulling me back onto the roof. I turn to see Demi. "Why are you sitting on the ledge? Vampire suicide?" I scoff, "That would not work. I would just land perfectly or break a bone." He rolls his eyes, but he frowns, looking at me. "Why are you crying?" I reach up to my face, feeling a wetness. He is right. I am crying. I shrug, my shoulder dropping as I realize the past month comes crashing down on me. I break down into a sob. I try to walk away from Demi, not wanting him to me this way. A vampire who is suppose to strong, crying their eyes out. I do not get far though. He pulls me into a hug, running his fingers through my hair and trying to calm me down. "Everything will be okay, Elijah," he whispers while holding me. I grip onto his shirt, my hands shaking from how hard I was crying.  I try to calm down, slowing my breathing. "Shhh..." he rubs little circles into my back. I eventually calm down and pull away from him, wiping my cheeks off.

"T..thank you..." He smiles at me, wiping an escaping tear. "No need to thank me Elijah. Aren't I your best friend?" I smile weakly and nod. He pulls me into a hug again and I wrap my arms around him. "You are always welcome to stay with me. Don't be afraid to ask for help," he whispers into my ear. I nod, smiling and hug him tighter. "Thank you, Demi. Really. For everything."

***

For once, I felt safe. I stare up at the ceiling of the guest room. I have lost my job by the way. Missing so much work causes them to fire you, but I could not just go in there and explain what happened. I sigh, rolling onto my side and close my eyes. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

I wake up to Demi shaking me, trying to wake me up. "What?", I groan, looking up at him. "Shower and get dressed. We are going out today." I sigh but nod my head nonetheless. I grab the clothes that he had left for me and head for the bathroom. I shower quickly then get out. I dry off, and pull on my boxers. I pull on the jeans, then the white under shirt and the blue shirt over it. I then pull on the jacket. I fix my hair after drying it more and pull the beanie on. I step out of the bathroom and look down to see brown boots sitting there. I put those on as well. I walk into the kitchen to see Demi wearing a pair of black skinny jeans with a sweater that looked a bit too big on him but he looks cute. I smile faintly as he looks up at me. He smiles back, "How do you feel?" I shrug, "Fine." He nods, grabbing car keys and grabbing my hand as we go out the door.

"Where are we going?" He smirks, not saying anything. Like he has been doing for the past twenty minutes. We finally pull up to a park and glance over at him. "What?" I arch an eyebrow. "Really? This is so cliche." He hit my leg playfully with a pout. "Shut it." I only laugh, getting out of the car and running to the park. He follows me close behind, obviously trying to show that he could be fast too. "Wait up Elijah!" I chuckle, stopping to wait. "Slowpoke," I tease.

He glares at me, and takes me by surprise when he tackles me into a pile of leaves. I squeak like a little girl which causes him to laugh. "What was that?" I look away, "You scared me." He only laughs again. I decide that I really love his laugh. The way he will throw his head back and how his eyes will look so full of life. Dammit. I think this will be qualified as me being smitten for Demi Reed. I feel like a teenage girl. "I thought you were a big and tough vampire." I take my turn to glare at him. "Yes. I am. Do you need proof?" He arches an eyebrow. I take him by surprise when I change our positions in a quick movement, him now under me with his hands pinned above his head. "How is that for powerful?" I smirk down at him.

"Not bad, James." I chuckle, releasing his wrists and stand up. I offer him a hand and he takes it. I pull him up with little effort. "Now what?" I shrug, walking to the path to follow it. I look around at the place, enjoying the scene. I look back to see Demi admiring the view as well. He looks so happy. I wish I could be that happy. I pull my phone out and discreetly take a picture of him. He looks at me as I put my phone away. "Did you take a picture of me?" I act innocent, shaking my head, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Elijah!" He runs after me again. I laugh, heading for a tree and climb up it with no trouble. I look around for him, not seeing him on the ground. "Up here!" I look up to see him jumping down onto the branch I am on. "Demi. The branch is going to break with the two of us."

"Then I will use you as a cushion then." I glare at him for the second time that day. As if on que, I hear a crack and the next thing I know, we are both laying on the ground. He groans, laying on his back. A few seconds pass before we are both laughing really hard from how stupid we are being. This is probably one of the most fun days I have had. I sigh in content, looking up at the sky. "What are you thinking about over there?"

"Just how wonderful today has been." I hear a murmur of agreement from him. I glance over at him. He has his eyes close and looks so beautiful. So relaxed and peaceful. I smile.

I was clearly smitten for this boy. And somehow, our pasts are connected.
