Moving On. (Elijah Wood Fanfic)

My Explination

Cherry's P.O.V.

Let's just say that Elijah & I were... Friends? Well, to be honest, I couldn't explain what we were, for I didn't know. Elijah & I grew up together, between having the same schedules & living side by side our whole lives, there wasn't anything we didn't do together.

We'd stay up all night, watching movies, we'd link arms walking through the school hallways, & we'd barge into each others houses like they were our own.

People used to think Elijah & I were dating, but for all those years, we were only best friends. I don't think I could ever think of Elijah as more.

Ever since his... Kidnapping, I've been lost. The whole thing was such a mess, & I didn't know how to get over it. It was a quiet evening when it happened, and Elijah & I were sitting at a park on the swings, about a block away from our houses. We went to the park all the time, just to talk in confidence, as it was always abandoned.

One night, we were just talking & swinging back and forth slightly, when I felt something heavy hit my face. I felt my body come in contact with the cold ground, and I was instantly kicked in the stomach & called out for Elijah as I struggled to try and get up.

I could hear more than Elijah, it sounded like him and two other men. I heard some shouting, some hitting, and then silence. That eerie silence pierced my ears.

After this, I lay on the ground, my eyes blurred for tears and my head & cheek pounding. I felt all the blood rush to my cheek and some out and down the side of my face. I couldn't help but cry while I lie there, hoping for Elijah to hurry back.

Elijah may've been a short 5'5 but he had some rage when he wanted to. all though I was Elijah's closest friend, I've only seen him like that once, & I fear to go back.

I slowly let the pain of tears and sleep drift over me, & fought to keep my eyes open, but ended up drifting off into a seemingly never ending sleep.

I awoke in what I imagined to be the hospital the next morning. I sat up in the hospital bed, an aching pain instantly shooting through my stomach, and waited for someone. I tried to remember what happened last night, as I creased the stitches along my cheekbone lightly. It hurt to my touch, as I could feel the bruise covering my cheek.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a set of footsteps come into the room.

I looked up to find Elijah standing before me. He looked like he'd been shot and hit by a car. He had stitches along his cheek, identical to mine, a black eyes, a small scratch and bruise along his jaw, and his arm was held up in a sling and fully casted.

He held a small smile on his face an looked me right in the eyes. His clear crystal blue eyes had a small spark lighting them up, and his hair was slightly messy.

He was wearing a hospital gown, & it swayed behind him as he walked towards me. I looked up at him & truly, I was shocked.

Who would want to hurt him? He was never mean to anyone & he'd always support everyone's individual thoughts & ideas.

Elijah waved a quick hand in front of my face, yet again breaking me away from my thoughts. He bent down to look me in the eye.

"Are you okay?" he whispered, still holding the smile that played on his lips before.

"Y-yeah, I'm alright." I'd lost my train if thought as I tried to force the words out of my mouth. I tried to ask him what we were doing here but the words couldn't fit into my mouth.

"Okay, good."

Elijah and I had a "bond" that others said they couldn't understand. He could tell what I was thinking about before I even said it. I could see his emotions through his crystal eyes, & I knew he could see mine too.

"Don't worry, I'll explain everything another time." Elijah spoke softy and quietly before standing up straight again and starting the short walk to leave me alone with my mind.

"Wait, Elijah?" I spoke gingerly, as if I'd lost my voice.

"Y-yeah?"

"U-uh sleepover at my house? I've got Cheetos & Dr. Pepper."

"Of course." Elijah smiled.

We walked out of the room with a grin plastered on his face. Cheetos and Dr. Pepper was always our go to snack. And I loved it.
