Love and Damage

Funeral

"NO STOP! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" I screamed as I was crawling while Dylan shot me in the leg. "ST-STOP PLEASE." I screamed and cried in pain as Cole came in. "COLE SAVE ME PLEASE!" I said as my voice became low. Cole took the gun from Dylans hand and pointed it at my head. "C-COLE- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" I said as I was reaching for the door but I couldn't move my leg at all. The pain on my leg was nothing I can ever explain. There was blood everywhere and I couldn't move. "This is what you get for trying to kill Dylan." Cole said as he was about to pull the trigger. "Good bye Eleanor." Cole said as everything happened in slow motion and I feel my body shaking. "Eleanor. ELEANOR! WAKE UP!" Cole said  screaming.

      I got up as fast as I could to feel all of my body sweaty. I looked over at Cole and was trying to move away from him when I almost fell. "Eleanor! It's okay, I won't hurt you!" Cole said as he held my arm from falling off the bed. "Wh-what happened?" I said as I was panting hard. "You had a nightmare, it's okay." It is exactly 7 in the morning as I saw a new clock on my night stand. Cole came towards me and gave me a hug. "It's okay, I'm here." Cole said as he was rubbing my back. I just gave him a faint smile and moved away from him. "I should probably go and take a shower." I said as I went to grab a towel. I exited the room fast enough without making eye contact.

      I went to the bathroom and closed the door behind me as I stared at the mirror panting harshly. I calmed down after 2 minutes and went to open the shower. I undressed and stepped inside as the warm water hit my face. I don't even know how Dylan looks like, so I just don't know how he appeared in my dreams. Dark hair and tan skin. Almost looks like Cole. I ignored the dream and started to take a shower. It was 30 minutes until I was done. I stepped out of the shower as the cold air hit my body. I grabbed the towel and placed it around me. I forgot to grab my clothes so I just stepped outside the door wearing nothing but a towel.

I went walking searching if there is any sign of Cole so he won't spot me in a towel. I didn't hear him nor see him so I opened my room door. I stepped inside and closed the door behind me. "Wow, I'll be pleased to take that off for you." Cole said as he smirked. He was looking at me up and down. "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" I screamed as he got out of my bed. He came close to me and held me by the waist. He leaned in towards my neck and gave a soft peck. "You smell amazing." Cole whispered onto my ears. I got the chills but I immediately pushed him off of me and he smirked. "We have to go in an hour, so don't be late." He said that as he walked towards the door giving me a wink before he left. I closed the door behind him and started breathing harshly. Fuck why does he do this to me and I let him. I went to my closet and changed into funeral clothes. I got an all black dress. I brushed my hair and blow dried it. I placed my hair up so it won't get in the way.

It look me 30 minutes to get ready and with that time it was 9:00. Cole wanted to go early so that he can make sure that everyone in his gang is armed. He went waiting for me in the car. I was going to go but then I went to his room to check if there are weapons that I can take with me. I felt guilty going into his room. I opened the door and I don't see any sign of weapons. I checked under his bed, and in his drawers. Still no sign. I was going to leave before I saw the red button hidden in Cole's room. I pressed it and immediately I was scared. There was all the weapons such as shot guns, pistols, bow and arrow, and all of the knifes. I didn't know what to do. I was shaking. I went in slowly and got the pistol. I got the extra bullets that was next to it. I did not know how to shoot a gun nor use it. But I took it anyways.

"ELEANOR LETS GO! WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE!" Cole screamed as I heard footsteps. I quickly placed the gun in my purse and pressed the button to close the closet door. I was exiting his room until I found Cole over my shoulder. "What were you doing in my room?" Cole came closer giving me death glares. "Oh uh, I thought you were in there, I heard something in your room." I said as I was trying hard not to stutter. "Okay, lets go." Cole said as he started going down stairs. I let out a breath of relieve. I can't believe he bought that. I usually am a bad liar. "Are you coming?" Cole said as he reached the bottom of the stairs so quickly. "Coming ." I said as I went down stairs. We both headed to his black challenger car which looked Amazing. I stepped inside and buckled my seatbelt as he did the same. Then started the engine and as he took off.

      The car ride was silent for about 5 minutes until I heard him clear his throat. "Stay next to me at all times." He said as he kept his eyes on the road. "Why?" I said knowing the answer to that. "Dylan knows where we are going and might try and destroy the funeral." He said. "Okay." Was all I retorted. I started fidgeting with my black dress trying to contain myself from what happened with Cole. I feel him gazing at me but that's just my paranoia crashing in.

      It has been about 10 minutes since the drive and it looks like we are almost here as I see the cemetery across the distance. All the memories of my grandma popped on my mind. I started to tear up as I was hold my head high to not let the tear stream down my face. I felt the car engine stop and I heard a seatbelt unbuckling. I looked to my left to see Cole is already out and now it's my turn. I unbuckled my seatbelt as I was trying to open the car door when it opened by Cole. I got out and thanked him. He closed the door behind him and then locked it. I started to walk when I see Olivia from a distance along with Taylor and Aiden. A smile appeared on my face. Olivia came running to me as the guys followed her. Her parents were with her.

      "I'm so sorry for your loss my darling." Said Olivia's grandma. I just smiled at her and nodded my head slightly. For the past hour all I have been getting were people's pity. People I knee as well as people I didn't know. Cole was behind me keeping an eye out of any signs of Dylan's men. For some reason, I didn't feel scared at all. I wished Dylan was right here so I can just kill him and see the look on him face when he begs me to stop.

      The funeral began and all I could think about was my grandma. How much I have missed her. Hell all of my family. I have no one now. I am the last Deana family standing.

      After a couple of hours it was getting late and people were starting to leave. I stayed on the floor looking at the tombstone and crying. I feel like my whole body is about to melt. I don't know how I am supposed to live without my grandma.

      "Eleanor we have to go now." Cole said. "Before Dylan's men come." He added. "Okay." I said and I got up. I looked at the stone one more time before heading to the car. Me and Cole were the last people at the cemetery. We both got in the car and he started to drive. "Thank you , for all you did." I said starring at Cole while he gave a no emotion on his face. I stared back at the road as he was driving. "You're welcome." Cole said in a very soft voice. I gave a weak smile and turned to face the road. My eyes were starting to feel heavy and before I knew it, I was slowly drifting to sleep.
