Can't Stop Fucking With You

Chapter 35

Elijah

After Krystal left to go doing whatever, I decided to go out and get some snacks. I came back and Samantha was already in her temporay room. All of us haven't talked sense everything went down. I was thinking since she was in her room, probably sleep, that Krystal would be too.

I went into the bedroom and didn't see her. I knew she wasn't in the living room or kitchen because I had to go through that to get to the bedroom. I hadn't heard a sound since I walked in.

I heard a light sigh coming from my extra room which I never used. It's just there to be there. Krystal is the only one who uses it. At least the room gets some type of attention.

I walked inside and she's just sitting on the ground with glossy eyes. She wasn't here. She was elsewhere. She didn't move or do anything when I walked in. She must be in headspace.

She started blinking rapidly, letting out a deep breath, trying to fight the tears that wanted to come out. I closed the door and even that didn't wake her up. I furrowed my eyebrows as I became seriously concerned.

"Krystal ? Are you okay, ?" I said softly, trying to get her to zone back in. She quickly blinked and shook her head turning to face me.

"Huh ? What, ?" she stuttered out trying to figure out everything and remember where she is. "Yes, I'm fine," she said finally after a couple seconds of silence.

"Krystal, no you're not," I sighed. "What's wrong ?"

"Nothing Elijah. I'm great," she said flashing me a smile that only I could tell was fake. I lifted up her chin and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead then lips.

"You're hurting and I can see it all in your brown eyes. Seeing you like this is breaking my heart and I can't live like this, knowing I'm part of the reason you're hurting," I vented.

"I've been hurting all my life Elijah-There hasn't been a time I wasn't to be honest," she expressed dropping her head. "I know-I think I do at least," she paused, "I think I know you love me and only me," she said wiping away the tears that were trying to escape.

"I do only love you. That's why I haven't mess with any other girl after that first time you caught me and I told you I'll never do it again. I meant what I told you-Every last word," I vented, blinking back the tears that tried to escape my eyes this time. "I love you, I love you, I love you," I repeated until she pulled me into a long, soft, and passionate kiss.

"I love you too," she said leaning our foreheads together. We both let out a deep sigh as we closed our eyes and just sat like that for a while.

Krystal
<5 months later>

Elijah and I have been doing much better lately. These past months have been amazing. He had really been showing me he only wants to be with me and I'm so glad.

Darryl, Nick, Zay, Chris, and Elijah have all been hanging out a lot more which has me wondering a lot. It's just weird to me that all my close friends have been hanging out with my boyfriend.

I'll walk in the room and they'll all be laughing, and sometimes I'll come over and they'll be here without my knowledge. I'm not complaining though. It's easier if they like each other then for them not to.

I have graduation next month which is only a couple weeks away and I'm just so excited. I have all A's except in this one class. I have a B+. I just need three more points to get an A like I want.

I've been doing really good and I haven't gotten mad in a while. To be honest, I've been stressed lately with graduation, having my family come, and getting all my grades to A's. It's just a lot on my mind. I'm majoring in criminal justice. I've already got a place I want to start working at after college.

I'll be working at a place half an hour away from where I stay, but I soon want to move out of Louisiana. I love it here, I just want to go somewhere out farther you know ?

<Night before graduation >

"WHAT YOU CANT BE SERIOUS, ?" I yelled through the phone at my brother. "WHY NOW, ?" I questioned.

"We just can't make it tomorrow. The flights are booked and the car is not in the best condition," he said sighing.

"Whatever," I said hanging up immediately.

My own family can't be there. That's a whole shame. I don't even want to go anymore. I sigh laying on the bed.

There were two knocks on the door as I blinked away my tears and sat up. "Come in."

"Hey baby, are you okay, ?" Elijah asked sitting on the bed next to me.

I smiled weakly, "Yes, of course."

"No you're not. What happened, ?" he asked giving me a concerned look.

"My family isn't coming to my graduation," I sighed, letting my head drop back down on the bed.

"They probably can't for a serious reason. You know they'd come if they could," Elijah said, trying to make me feel better.

"No. They're just not trying enough and that's fine," I said sitting up.

"Maybe they'll be here after," Elijah said.

"I don't care. If they're not here during the time they need to be here, there's not point in coming at all," I explained as I got up picking up all the things I'm going to wear tomorrow. I decided since I am about to graduate that I should wear a dress for the party Elijah said we were going to.

I forgot who he said it was for, Drake ? Daniel ? Ashley ? I don't know but it sounded fun so why not. I don't even want a party for myself. If my brother, father, aunties, and etc couldn't come, I don't want to do anything else. I worked really hard just for them and they can't make it ? Anyway it is what it is.

After a nice shower and making sure I had everything that I needed to have done, I went to sleep, wrapped up in Elijah's arms.
