Taken

Chapter 7: And for now I know were gonna be alright

Kellin's POV

They chased me down for hours. For awhile I thought they were going to catch me and I was terrified. But not for my life. For the life of Elizabeth Walters. The beautiful innocent girl who probably looks at me and sees a monster. The girl that even though doesn't trust me at all, I still feel the need to protect. I gave up for a while. I stopped feeling scared. For minute there was no Elizabeth, and when they found me, leaning against an old building gasping for air.. There was also no me.

Elizabeth's POV

I gave up waiting. It's been a week and I can't risk it. I'm leaving to find him because I won't accept the fact that he's dead, because he can't be. What would I do without him? Where am I supposed to go? I didn't realize how helpless I was until I was stranded without someone to give me words of wisdom or tell me what we should do. There wasn't anyone to call the shots for me. There was no one to laugh or joke around with. And most of all, there was no one around me that gave me the butterflies in my stomach like kellin did. If your one of those people that doesn't believe that the butterflies are real, it's because you haven't met someone like kellin. And that's a shame.. Every girl deserves that feeling. Yeah it sucks, a lot. Especially right now when I'm not sure where he is, but I'm still going to find him and when I do I'm going to say those 3 words that up until now always felt like bile in my mouth. "I love you"

I've been everywhere I believe he possibly could go, I just wish I knew where he were. I need to hold him and never let go.

After searching for hours I came across what looked like a homeless man on the corner of the street sleeping. But when I took a closer look I saw him. He has a bruised and bloody lip, scratches across his face, a black eye and several bruises along his body. I can't believe this happened, I can't believe that I didn't leave sooner and maybe I would've gotten to him sooner. I'm so afraid to know the answer but I put my hand over his heart to see if it's still beating. I'm sobbing and tears are falling on the dried blood making it fall once again.

He's alive.

I lay with him for awhile, hoping he wakes up soon and that nothing life threatening happened. I hope he stays with me.

"Heaven?"

He's looking at me now, awake but not aware.

"No kellin, it's me. I'm here."

He attempted to sit up and face me, but I made him stay laying down. He's in too much pain.

"Prove it to me."

I smiled at that, knowing what he meant. I lowered my head to where our foreheads were touching and I could smell the familiar scent of his breath. My top lip touched his, then the bottom. At first it was almost as light as a question but he grunted and pulled me closer. I moaned into the kiss and he smiled, very aware of the effect he has on me. Next thing you know we're having our first make out session and boy is it nice.

Once we pull apart, I know it's time. He needs to know.

"Kellin?"

"Hm?"

"Guess what?"

"What?" He asked grinning.

"I think I'm sorta... In love with you."

Complete silence. I can hear little bugs moving in the grass beneath us, I can hear the wind blowing and my thoughts racing. This is too soon isn't it? I've just made the biggest mistake of my life. What if he doesn't think the same way? What if he leaves me? I'm stopped by the realization that he's smiling. He's smiling so wide it makes my face hurt just looking. But omg, he's smiling! What if it's because he's trying not to laugh at me?

My thoughts take a halt as I feel his warm lips on mine once again, telling me he feels the same but in action.

"I think I'm sorta... In love with you too", he says smiling.

That's when I start laughing hysterically, he loves me!

We laugh and kiss for awhile. And for now I know we're gonna be alright.

Sometimes God doesn't change your situation because he's trying to change your heart.
