Crazy In Love || Dylan O'Brien

Chapter 21

Playlist: Let It Go-James Bay

And she's crashing into flames as her lips touches his. He doesn't move at first, not really sure why he was holding back, she was after all the girl he used to always have a crush on. She pulls back on realising that he wasn't kissing back, her eyes slowly flutter open and the confusion in them is quickly replaced with hurt.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what-"

And before she could finish the sentence, he finds himself leaning in for a kiss. And it takes her a moment before she starts kissing him back. Pushing her to lie on her back on the bed, her head hits something and she pushes him gently off her as she winces alittle.

She pulls whatever it was that she just hit her head on, only to find that it was a Spider-Man action figure. The brown eyed boy, sits up as he grabs the action figure from her hand. His knees trapping her as they were on either side of her. She lies still on her back as she watches him examine the toy.

Different emotions flash behind his brown orbs all at once. She just lied there, staring at him while he stared intently at the action figure, thinking of her feelings about that kiss they just shared. She liked the feeling of his soft lips on hers, there was no denying that. But she almost felt like he was holding back, she just wasn't sure why.

"Is anyone up there!"

Someone yelling snaps them both back to reality. His brown orbs imidiatelly leaving the toy and snapping towards the door. His eyes slightly widen, she almost doesn't notice his reaction to the voice. And suddenly everything just made sense to her. 

Why he wasn't fully into the kiss like she was, it was because of that voice. Well, more like the owner of it. And deep down at that moment, she knew that he harboured deep feelings for the brunette.

But then why would he kiss me if he really did?

She thought in confusion as he sat up off her and stood off the bed, making his way towards the opened door of the room. She sits upright again, watching his every move as he reached the door and the brunette soon appeared before him. Her wild brown eyes leaving him to land on the redhead. Elora gulped slightly, suddenly feeling like she had betrayed the brunette.

Because even though there was nothing official going on between the brunette and the brown eyed boy, it was still pretty obvious that they both harboured strong feelings for one another.

Her green orbs shifts to land on the action figure he was still holding, but now had a more tighter grip on, and she wonders if he had kissed her because he actually felt anything. Or just because she was the last piece from his past that somehow gave him the clarity he needed.

"I know so much of what you're going through because I went through it too..." he started, clenching and unclenching his jaw.

"What do you mean?" She asks with furrowed eyebrows.

"You weren't the first to kill me, Ona. I know, shocker, right?"

And if she was already confused before, one could only start to imagine her level of confusion on hearing his words now.

And despite her better judgement, despite swearing off that she'd never let him inside her head ever again, at that moment that was where exactly he was. Only difference this time, was that she was the one inside his head. He let her in, taking her back to the moment his whole life burned down to ashes.

.

She could see him and his friends in some night club and suddenly she remembers that specific night. It was his birthday and his friends from the basketball team had decided to take him out to a nightclub that had just opened.
