Unpredictable Love

Why Is It So Hard To Stay Positive :Chapter 14

Staring at me eyes shot wide ,"You scared me" Elijah notified me of the obvious. "It's been 35 minutes let's just go. I'll drop you off" I implied ,he just reached out to grab his seat belt. "Um Elijah" I stuttered looking in his direction. "Yeah?" Elijah said while messing with the seatbelt that got stuck. Tugging and pulling Elijah couldn't get it to unlock. "Oh nothing" I held back, driving out of the garage onto the road. The sun beating down on us even with the air on it was still hot. I felt as if the sun was sitting in the backseat ,pulling over to the curb of Elijah's place. Turning off the car waiting for Elijah to get off ,I contemplated if I should tell him ;what I had to from earlier.

Slipping the words out of my mouth ,"Elijah" I indicated vulnerably ,"Yes?" Elijah queued for me to continue. "I'm sorry for putting you through this ,but then again you are working for Z so shit like this had to go down" I concluded ,my eyebrows closely  together causing them to create a wrinkle. My hands placed on my lap ,Elijah still had his hand gripped on the car door. He then sat all the way down turning his body over to me; staring intentionally at me. "It's ok and that's true" Elijah confirmed ,just staring back at him I remained quiet. Then Elijah proceeded to continue getting out of the car, then sticking his head through the car. Where the window was rolled half way , bringing himself to reassure ,"Did you feel guilt?" He asked vaguely, his arm rested on the window sill. I looked off into the distance I didn't reply, Elijah waited for a response for awhile then I heard him walk away. Starting up the car again rolling up the window on Elijah's side. "I wonder what Steven is doing should I arrive? Yes.......No! But that is disrespectful of me. I'll go after I eat for-" I cut off before studying myself. Taking in a breath ,"I haven't seen him in awhile so I need to look good like if I got my shit together" I lied to myself; on my way there. The roads blazed with the rays of the sun hitting them all day they looked like if they were to have fire on them. Later arriving I snuck in like usual since I hadn't notified him on it. Crookedly walking up to the two tall glass entrance doors. Stopping myself with my fist in mid air, asking myself. "Who will answer? I'm nervous why?", my hand got the courage to touch the door and knock. Feeling as if I was going to melt since someone else's car was in the driveway. Soon after I had knocked the door opened revealing a lady that looked in her late 30's maybe early 40's appeared in front of me. Some strands of hairs held back behind her head with a clip, brunette with hazel eyes. She wore a purple pastel v-neck shirt with some light green capri's and sandals. Her expression was shocking ,trying to make out the words. " I'm hi" finally went through. "Who are you?"it was Steven's mom Hannah. " I'm Steven's friend" I clarified ,getting myself to calm down. "Steven!" She called out into the house ,I freaked and backed away. I knew it'd be awkward if I were to see Steven knowing that his step dad will recognize me. Probably making a commotion making Hannah view me differently, if she hadn't known of me already. "Oh no don't call him. I just wanted to know if he was okay and how he's doing!" I called out trying to walk fast. "But he's here!" Hannah shouted with a perplexed expression. "I'm busy I'll visit him when I can. Thank you bye nice to meet you" I walked off waving at her, pushing the gate open.

Arriving at my apartment complex ,shaking the key trying to unlock the door. My hand placed on the door knob and my head lowered staring at the ground. "Fuck! Fuck fuck why did I do that?" Breathing heavily ,"What the hell open open open!" I impatiently spoke. Jiggling the key on the lock finally getting it to open. Turning the door knob ,closing the door behind me. Turning around ,before even getting a chance to view my room. When all of the sudden I felt pressure around my mouth and some cloth rubbed against my nose. My eyes widened gasping behind someone's hand, I screamed when I heard them talk. Except my screams were muffled and blocked out. I tried to talk but it only came out as jiberish ,"Shut up! You're going to pay little bitch!" It was a man's voice oddly familiar. His voice sounded heavy ,my hands had been tied behind my back I hadn't even noticed ;till I got out of shock mode and started to move. He walked me over towards my bed and threw me on it that's when I saw another person standing on the other side of it. They also had a black mask on along with a gun in their hands and all in black. Then quickly turning to look at the guy infront of me, who also appeared to have the same material as the other. Getting angry I shouted at him, "What do you want?!" That seemed to make him more enraged than he already was by the way he was tensed up. "Why the fuck are you after my homeboys?" He strictly yelled slamming his hands on the bed getting close up to my face. Giving determination pushing his limits trying to test me. Still staring at him with a livid look ,when I was about to answer there was a knock at the door.
We all looked over quickly making it look like if we has just gotten slapped. Patiently waiting for another knock once everything seemed quiet the guy began to talk to me again. "Quick pretend we're fucking" he whispered with a vulgar request. Completely caught off guard ,"Hell no! Help" I cried risking it. "Shut up!" He snapped still whispering, staring at him with an indignant glare. His eyebrows narrowed even more, causing his mask to make a crease.
Steven's POV
Steven was the one behind the door, noticing that there was noise coming from inside. The guy had pinched me causing me to yell, "Why did you do that?" I  infuriated. "Pretend" he said his teeth grinded together. "Doesn't really seem like her she just got home" Steven mumbled staring at a blank wall. Then marching away downstairs, treading towards a counter clerk in the lobby. 
"Hey hello" Steven messed up panting as the girl from behind the counter smiled. "Hello how may I help and partake in your needs today?" She asked in a peaceful perfect tone. "I need you to open room 208, I think my friend has an intruder" Steven informed, her face changed from interested to frightened. Tilting her head,"How are you sure?" She intentionally questioned. Ready to explain ,"She just came to my house but forgot something so I came to bring it back just now and then I heard voices then they turned into whispers after I had knocked. I heard the whispering saying for her to keep quiet once I pressed my ear up against the door." Steven rushed keeping his intense worried stare on her.
