Moving On. (Elijah Wood Fanfic)

The Truth.

Cherry's P.O.V

I remember Elijah kissing me on the cheek. He has always been so sweet like that, but we've never actually kissed.

I woke up to the sound of Elijah quietly snoring beside me. I move his arm from around me & got up to brush my hair and teeth.

I walked into the washroom connected to his bedroom & looked around the bag he'd prepared for me for some pain killers. Luckily, I found some & took two.

I brushed my wavy hair back into a high pony tail & brushed my teeth.

I walked back into Elijah's room to find him sitting on his bed with his head in his hands.

I crept over to him & sat down beside him on his bed.

"Elijah... what's wrong?"

"N-nothing I just I need to talk to you and I-I just." he spat out before a year ran down his cheek.

I threw my arms around his neck & held his close. He gently wrapped his arms around my waist & we stayed that way for a while.

Elijah silently sobbed into my shoulder for a while before pulling away to look me in the eyes.

"Elijah, you don't have to tell me, you can another time, when your more comfortable." I whispered.

I...no, no I have to tell you." He wiped his cheeks of the start tears & looked at me.

"Okay, here it goes."

He breathed in & sighed.

"When we were sitting at the park, I saw that guy come & hit you. When you fell to the ground & he kicked you, I didn't know what to do."

He stopped, looking defenseless.

"When he turned to face me, I punched him straight across the nose. I broke his nose & turned to the other guy who started hitting me. I got in some hits & so did he before the other guy came in again & they both teamed up on me."

He paused & looked down at his hands.

"I eventually gave up. They were both way bigger than I & I couldn't protect you." a tear fell from his eye onto my hand. Elijah wiped it away quickly & continued on.

"They grabbed my arms & threw me into the back seat of a car. As we were driving, I had noticed they left you there. I didn't know what to do so I pretended to be knocked out."

He stopped to slow his breathing which had sped up quite a bit since he began.

"When the car stopped, they pulled me out & dragged me into a building, not far from the park. They brought me inside & I was set down onto a soft leather seat."

I glanced up to me, and noticed I was still looking at him. He looked back down at our hands.

"I was alone in this room for I think a couple hours, then a small group of about four men came in. They looked at me & from the looks of things, they were expecting something else. One of them came up to me."

Elijah's P.O.V.

**Flashback**

"What's your name boy?"

"E-Elijah." I tried not to sound nervous.

"Yeah, no." He said turning around to the other men. I could recognize one of them, the one who's nose I didn't break.

"What do you mean it isn't him?" asked the one from earlier.

"I mean this isn't the guy." said the one who approached me.

"Get his outta here." another one shouted to the one for earlier and the one who hadn't spoken yet.

The two of them grabbed me & dragged me to a window on the side of the building.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah of course."

"I hate doing this man."

They whispered back & forth. I listening silently, curious as to what was happening.

"Okay, let's just hurry up."

**End of Flashback**Elijah's P.O.V**

I wiped off my cheeks & continued, wishing I hadn't started to tell Cherry.

"They threw me out the window. I landed on my arm, breaking the fall & probably saving my life." I sputtered out as another tear fell into my lap.

"I became unconscious & I woke up in a van."

**Flashback**

"Hold on, honey, ill get you to the hospital." I heard a lady call out from the drivers side of the van.

She sped to the hospital & rushed me in, I limply tried to walk but I was too weak.

They immediately got me into surgery & preformed on my elbow which had been shattered & a piece of it was in my wrist. I was in the surgery room for an hour or so & when I got out the lady came to see me.

"You okay, honey?" she whispered.

"Y-yes. thank you." I told her, my voice was raspy & weak.

"Hey, if you need to know anything, give me a call, okay?" she handed me a piece of paper & walked out smiling to me.

I took the paper & put it into the table beside me. I fell asleep.

**end of flashback**

Cherry looked at me with a concerned look on her face.

"Where's the paper she gave you?" Is all she said.

"I-it's here, I have it."

I thought she was going to give me one of her sincere talks.

She gave me a small smile & our eyes locked. I slowly leaned in, hoping for the kiss I've been dying for since we met. She leaned in too & pecked me on the cheek.

"C'mon, let's just lay here for a while." She whispered in my ear, her warm breathe sending shivers up my spine.

I sighed in defeat & laid beside here. I was drifting to sleep, my eyes sore from crying.

"Elijah?" Cherry whispered, as if seeing our I were awake.

"Y-yeah?" I stuttered.

I rolled over to face her & she moved slowly, watching her side & looked into my eyes.

There was something in her eyes I'd never seen before. Some pink was lingering in her eyes.

She leaned in & kissed me on the lips for a couple seconds before pulling away & rolling over again.

My stomach did a flip as I wrapped myself around her. I wish I could tell her how much I love her.
