Moving On. (Elijah Wood Fanfic)

Day at the Beach & Snuggles.

Elijah's P.O.V

We had gotten our Starbucks & I paid for it, ignoring Cherry telling me she could pay for herself.

I loved buying her stuff. It made her mad, but she was happy after she got it. I knew she liked when I bought her stuff too.

We made our way out of Starbucks & headed to the beach.

It was about a ten minute walk to Starbucks from our houses & Starbucks was right along the pier with a bunch of other shops.

We walked along the pier & headed down to the shore. Cherry took off her sandals & held them in her tiny hands. We walked along the shoreline until it was the evening.

The sun was setting as we sat on top of a huge rock.

"Hey, Elijah?" She spoke up.

"Yeah?" I whispered only loud enough for her to hear.

"Will you tell me what happened now?"

"I uh, let's wait a b-bit." I tried to sound as calm as I could but she turned to face me.

"Why not now? It's just the two of us out here anyways." She said sternly, motioning to the empty beach around us.

"It's better to wait. I promise ill tell you soon but let's just enjoy the sunset."

Cherry sighed & dropped the subject, knowing there was no point of arguing with me. She leaned back into my chest & her eyes slowly fell as she fought to keep them open.

"C'mon, let's go." I whispered.

She moved slowly & I bent down, motioning for her to hop on my back for a piggy back ride home.

She slowly climbed on top of my back and we made our way past the pier and off to home. I could tell she had passed out on my back, as her breathe was quiet and shallow.

She was really light, thank goodness. Or else this walk might've been longer but she always had a stick like frame with slight curves. I was small myself so I'm glad she was too.

I reached our houses, walking into hers & setting her on the couch. I went up to her room to grab her some pajamas, telling her mom she could sleepover at my place tonight.

I threw her over night things into a bag and picked her up on my back, holding her bag and over to my house. Once we got into my house, I smiled to my parents, sister & brother and headed up to my room.

I set Cherry gently down on my bed and grabbed her pajamas, a hair brush and her toothbrush for her to get ready for bed.

"Cherry." I whispered to her, trying to get her up to get ready for bed.

"Cherry c'mon."

"What Elijah?" she said, lazily sitting up.

"You need to get ready for bed, all your stuff is in my bathroom waiting for you."

She slowly stood up, walking over to my bathroom and closing the door.

About five minutes later, Cherry came out with a pair of bright blue spandex & a baggy white tank top on. She put her hair up into a messy ponytail & slouched while walking over to my bed, collapsing onto it.

I sighed & climbed in beside her, snuggling close to her as she relaxed under my touch. I've always been worried she won't want to snuggle but we always do.

I whispered goodnight to her & gingerly leaned in, kissing her gently on the cheek. She smiled & we fell asleep instantly.
