Why

Chapter 5

"So where are we going?" I asked when we walked out of the coffee shop.

"You'll see." Eli said with a evil grin.

"Oh god." I joked to him. After about an hour we reached a house and it was blasting with music. The moment I saw it I knew this was not going to be good. He pulled up into the driveway.

"Hey the Elsters here!" a guy with dark brown hair and blue eyes and he was wearing a leather jacket similar to Eli's came running up, "Oh! And his girlfriend."

"She's not my girlfriend just friend." I tried not to let this hurt when he said it. But I felt my face turn pained.

"Looks like lady friend doesn't like that very much." leather jacket said. He turned to me and said "Do you wanna dance?"

"Um..." I looked at Eli and he was just looking at the ground, he doesn't ever try to move our friendship to the next level so I said "yes that would be great." and turned toward leather jacket.

"My name's Jack by the way." Oh! That used to be Jason's roommate I thought he look familiar.

"I'm Lydia." I smiled at him and he returned a breath taking smile. I sucked in a breath and he turn and pulled me to the kitchen and got himself a beer and asked me if I wanted one I said no even though I was dying of thirst.

"So what's your story?" Jack asked leaning against the counter.

"What?" I asked

"Why are you with Eli is what I mean."

"I don't know he just invited me."

"You mean he didn't talk to you yet?"

"What are you talking about?"

Jack got a sad look on his face and said "Well you see Eli isn't like other people he never lets people in. Are you sure he just invited you because he's nice?"

"I don't know maybe you should ask him why I'm here." I got up and started walking away my face burning with anger for a reason I didn't know, I didn't stop till I got to a vacant hallway I turned around but I realized I didn't know where I was I couldn't turn around because I didn't pay attention of where I was going.

"Hey do need help?" I look up and seen a boy about my age maybe older wearing a baseball cap and a gray t-shirt and blue jeans.

"Um..." I was stunned why was there so many hot guys talkin to me tonight? "Yes, do you know how to get out of this place?"

He laughed a small laugh and said "Follow me."

We walked for a while then I broke the silence "What's your name?"

"What's your's" he glanced at me with his eyebrow raised.

"Lydia. Answer my question."

"K, my name is Dylan, I'm single, and my brother's Jack."

"I just wanted to know your name not a story about your life."

"I knew the questions coming though."

"Well duh I mean look at you you're like a girl magnet. But I'm not into you I like another guy." Why was I telling him this I seriously just told him I like Eli! Well I guess I didn't tell him the guy I like was Eli.

"Wow um... I didn't even know a girl couldn't like this." he pointed at himself

"Um... I don't like fuckboys." I walk off once again.

"Fine, find your own fucking way bitch." He says then storms off.

I walk around aimlessly for a while until I hear some hollering in the next room, I walk over and peek in the room it's Eli and dick head Dylan. They holler at each other some more and size each other up, then come the punches Eli punches Dylan in the face then Dylan punches Eli in the side of the head when he gets his balance back. I run into the room screaming for them to stop. When I reach them they still don't stop I have to pry Eli off of Dylan.

"What the fuck you bastard!" Eli is still hollering at Dylan then his head turn towards me and he says"I need to get out of here," and just like that he's gone again.

"Um... I'm have to leave." Dylan says then scampers off into the house.

I just stand there then slump down crying I don't know why but the way Dylan looked when he scampered off then the way Eli's eyes looked all wild like he had no idea what had just happened.I need to find Eli so I got up, wiped the tears falling down my face with my sleeve, and walk out the way Eli ran out.

I started wandering around, once again. But this time I can hear a soft music playing and I follow to the source of that. When I get there a lot more people were there then when I came in. I start looking around for Eli when I see a girl that looks familiar. I can't remember her name but I know that face I would recognize it anywhere, she is dancing then when she spins she drops dead in her tracks when she faces me. Then she disappears into the crowd I start to go after her when a pair of muscular arms wrap around me, familiar muscular arms that I spent hours looking at them fantasizing about them wrapping around me and I relaxed into them.

"Hey, I'm sorry I ruined your night," Eli said in my ear.

"It's fine," as long as he's here it's fine I thought.

"No it's not I beat someone up because you were flirting with him."

"I wouldn't call it flirting," I said sarcastically.

"What would you call it then?"

"Me trying to get away from a jackass," said smiling.

"Oh?!" He said surprised.

"What were you jealous or something?" I said teasingly.

"Ya," he said and I could feel him warm up behind me.

"I can't believe that," I said turning toward him.

"Well..." he said shrugging.

"Are you sure?"

"Well, you are beautiful."

"Actually I'm the opposite of that."

"No your not ask any guy in here and they'll say you're pretty,"he said matter of factly.

"No they won't."

Eli looked at me then turned around just in time to catch a guy's attention, "Hey do you think she's pretty?" he asked

Ya she's pretty."the guy responded confused.

Eli turned back to me and smiled, "Told ja."

I rolled my eyes and he pulled me close to him so close I could feel his lips resting on my forehead. "You know you're really hot though." I said before I knew what was coming out of my mouth.

"Really?" he said his lips curling into a smile.

"Ya," I responded. No going back now.

"Why do you say?"

"Everywhere you go girls stare at you."

"I don't care about them though."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that not very many people get my attention."

"Am I one of them who get your attention."

"Maybe." He says still smiling.

"Are you sure? I thought you'd be trying to get Ava's attention."

"Ava?" He said pulling away so he can look me in the eyes "She tries to get my attention."

I was stunned, ava didn't get Eli's attention holy crap.

"Come on lets get out of here."

"And go where?" I asked.

"You'll see." he said and started walking off.

When I got outside I shivered the wind picked up and it got chillier since i've been out here last. Eli reached over and put his leather jacket around me without saying anything. I felt my face heat up. Then I started to feel a sleepy. Then I fell.
