Hes Back.

Chapter 8

Elliots pov

As Jake and Chloe went to the side to talk, I was alone with Leila.

"So er are you feeling better now?" I asked trying to open up a conversation.

" Yup I am thanks again." Leila answered looking at the road.

I mumbled no problem looking away not wanting to make this any more awkward than it already is.

Few minutes passed quiet and uncomfortably..

"Elliot," Leila whispered rushed hitting my arm.

"What happened," I looked up fast confused.

"Look," she said pointing towards Chloe and Jake's kiss.

"Damn," I mumbled under my breathe.

Leila replied with a nod and a smile causing me to return one back to her.

" I was not expecting that," Leila said quietly fidgeting.

" Yeah me neither." I replied.

Seeing them walking back I told Leila to act normal which caused her just to reply and look at the street returning us to the quiet we were in before.

"Hey guys," Chloe spoke quietly.

"Hey," Leila and I both replied same time.

"So we should go back to the party now I guess," Jake spoke up.

I noticed Leila stiffen at jakes words causing me to remember of the events that happened tonight.

"Leila and I will meet you two in there.." I stated slowly eyeing Leila, checking her reaction.

The couple nodded walking towards the house and Leila let out a breathe.

"I'm sorry I don't really want to go back in there Im sorry." Leila spoke up after they walked away.

"Understandable, don't worry. We can take a quick lap around the house if you want before heading back in maybe it'll help?"

"That would be nice, thanks."

We both started walking side by side quietly at first. But as we passed the street we talked about how the whole compound is parent free since they were all invited away for the banquet. As Leila was talking about how this banquet happens regularly so everyone's used to it, my phone beeped in my pocket.

It was a message from Jake ' yo man I need a favor'.

'what is it? I'm with Leila.'

'first of all you should think go coming back here bc the party is getting kinda loud and second can Chloe and I take a room for the night'

'we're coming back now, and sure but keep it clean'

'thanks man'

"Um so Leila Jake and Chloe are sleeping over in one of the rooms," I noticed Leila mumble something under her breath.

"If you would like you can have a room as well..?"

"I live right there..."

"right.." I mumbled kind of disappointed as we walked through my house door being welcomed by the loud house music.

"Can I take you to Chloe or do you want to just wait for me? I'm going to close up the party," I said glancing down at my phone seeing its almost 2 am.

"Can you take me to Chloe first please?"

I nodded guiding her upstairs towards the rooms. Knowing jake he would stay at the guest room closest to mines since it was the nicest of the guest rooms. Walking down the hall, Leila and I knocked the door hearing jake yell out "coming". After Leila went in, I walked downstairs with a headache ready for everyone to go home and with that I grabbed the microphone and yelled out the one phrase that I knew would send everyone home,

"everyone fast police are coming!!"

"Hey so I'm going to head back home..." I told Chloe and jake.

Jake nodded while Chloe frowned getting off the bed walking towards me.

We went towards the side while jake stayed put.

"Everything okay?" Chloe asked.

"Yeah of course,"

"Are you sure,"

"Yeah don't worry, enjoy your night. You're staying here yeah?"

"Yeah jake and I have to talk through some things, why don't you stay here? Im sure theres other rooms empty, it'll be fun all of us."

"Yeah it'd be fun if you stayed too," jake joined into the conversation.

"Um well I guess I can stay..," I mumbled, " I'm going to go get my clothes though,"

The couples respond with a nod. I walked out and noticed straight away that Elliot was on top of the table and everyone was running out of the house cursing loud. I stood on top of the stairs confused staring back at the sight. I walked down slowly not wanting to join the crowd of running teens.

Elliot's pov

As I tried not to laugh at everyones reactions I noticed Leila walk down the stairs with a confused expression on her face. I jumped down the table pushing people away trying to get to Leila before I lost her in the crowd.

"Hey are you going home?" I asked when I reached her.

"Um actually if it's okay with you, can I stay over as well?" she asked nervous not being able to meet my eyes.

I smiled at her nervousness.

"Of course you're always welcome," I nodded. "What are you doing downstairs then?"

" Um I was going to go home actually get my clothes so I can sleep in something else."

"Oh well, I have some clothes you can wear if you want. It's kind of pretty late for you to go out and winds pretty cold right now."

I noticed her blush creeping up on her when she agreed shyly. Leila waited on the stairs as I locked the door and turned the lights off.

Walking to my room first I grabbed her a hoodie of mines and sweatpants, I knew they would be too big on her but they were something I guess.

" Are these okay? if they're too big I can try to look for something smaller maybe?" I asked nervous for her reaction.

"No no they're fine thank you." she mumbled taking the clothes from my hands.

Nodding we walked for out of my room and I showed her to her room for the night.

" if you need anything i'll be in my room and well Chloe and jake are in their room. Bathrooms are down the hall,"

She nodded going into the room.

"alright well goodnight." I said walking down the hall.

"Thanks Elliot." Leila spoke just loud enough for me to hear.

I turned around with a small smile on my face just in time to see Leila slowly close the door .
