Dead rose 🥀 || E.D

Thirteen

I got out of the elevator and started walking towards Alayas apartment. I couldn't hear music blasting which was strange coming from her.
The doors unlocked pretty boy <3
I smiled to myself as I took the note down and opened her door, all her windows were open which made the apartment look so much bigger with all the natural lighting. There was a chill song playing not loud though ( electric by Alina baraz ) I started walking up the stairs quietly, I got to about half way when I saw her sitting on the balcony she was wearing a big tank top with no pants and knee high socks, I got to the top and heard her singing along to the song, she sounded like an angel, I stood there and leaned against the door frame just listening to her
" I know you're here E" she said quietly turning her head slightly.
" well you told me to come" I said walking up behind her wrapping my arms around her neck, she sighed and stood up
" I need to talk to you" she said walking past me, she sat on her bed and I followed.
" what's up" I said breaking the silence between us.
" I have to go away for a little bit" she said playing with her thumbs looking down at her bed spread, I felt my heart break into a million pieces, I looked down trying to fight back the tears that threatened to fall out of my eyes
" why" I asked choking on my words
" because I have things to handle back home" she said placing her hand on top of mine, she rubbed her thumb back and forth and it sent a comforting feeling through my whole body
" when are you leaving" I looked up at her locking eyes, her eyes were watery and red
" tonight" she said softly letting the tears fall from her eyes, I moved closer to her and wrapped her body in my arms,
" and you're going alone" I said pulling back slightly, she nodded and a look of fear formed on my face, yea Alaya is a badass and can handle herself but she's also a soft gentle dead rose just like she said, all she needs is a little love and care.
" you expect me to let you drive alone late at night?, who knows how long you'll be on the road for" I said in a worried tone
" Ethan you can't come, I told you I'm not dragging you into my bullshit with me, it's my problem and I can handle my problems on my own" she said just above a yell getting up from the bed grabbing a bag to put her clothes in
" I get that Alaya but do you expect me not to fucking worry about you, you've been through hell and is still going through it. Like yea great tell me you're leaving tonight great I won't worry at all right. all I fucking care about is you Alaya and I told you that night when we were standing right fucking there on that damn balcony that I will do whatever it takes to protect you" I said standing up on the other side of the bed, she huffed and started grabbing all her close
" I don't even know how long you're gonna be gone for, I don't even KNOW WHY YOURE GOING WHAT BUSINESS DO YOU HAVE TO HANDLE THATS SO IMPORTANT THAT YIU HAVE TO LEAVE RIGHT AT THIS SECOND" i yelled and it echoed off the buildings next to Alayas
" DO YOU NOT THINK IM FUCKING SCARED ETHAN, DO YOU THINK I WANT TO LEAVE THE ONLY PLACE I CAN BE MYSELF IN DO YOU THINK I WANT TO FUCKING LEAVE YOU AND GRAYSON, CASUE I SURE AS HELL DONT YOU GUYS ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT KNOW ME THE REAL FUCKING ME" she screamed at me walking into her bathroom to grab her tooth brush and other necessities
" WHY DO YOU HAVE TO LEAVE SO SOON" I yelled walking behind her looking at her through the mirror
"THEY KNOW ABOUT US AND THEY KNOW THAT WERE NOT JUST FUCKING FRIENDS ETHAN WE FUCKING KISSED OKAY AND EVERYDAY I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU, THEY THINK IM GOING BACK THE WAY I WAS WHEN I GOT RAPPED SO I HAVE TO KILL SOMEONE AGAIN ETHAN, THERE I SAID IT YOU FUCKING HAPPY I HAVE TO GO FUCKING MURDER SOMEONE" she said looking me dead in the eyes as tears run down her face. I stood there in shock, I grabbed her and held her as tight as I could, she wrapped her arms around me and cried into my neck
" why can't you just leave the gang" I asked rubbing her back. She looked up at me and placed her hand on my left cheek
" I can, but I would have to get the shit beat out of me and I don't want that" she said wiping the tears away from my face.
" I have to go E, I'll be back I promise" she said as she pulled away from me, I didn't know what to do so I just grabbed her and smashed my lips onto hers, the kiss was slow and full of lust, she pulled away and handed me a key
" if you ever need a place to escape, just come here" she said walking over to her bag zipping it up and throwing it around her shoulder, she walked down the Stairs and I followed her, I opened her door for her and she stepped out in bare feet and her big T-shirt that looked like a dress, she turned around a gave me a soft smile
" I'll see you soon pretty boy" she said placing her hand on my face
" you're one hell of an adventure Alaya" I said letting the tears slip from my eyes
" you have no idea pretty boy" she said removing her hand from my face. she started walking down the hallway, and as soon as she turned the corner I lost sight of her, I closed her door running straight to her bed falling onto my stomach bawling into the pillow.
