LUST AND TEMPTATIONS + 18/ONGOING/

❤CHAPTER 23❤

Elena's POV

I picked up my pace as I rush to the car joining Davis.

"Are you ready?" He asks.
"Yea, let's go." I sigh.

He started the engine and off we went.
We are currently on our way to my house to pick up a few things. Some of my clothes and books.
Not that he couldn't buy me new clothes but I demanded we go back there, at least to relive I and Amy's moments once again.

I sigh as I look out the window.
There were various couples walking side by side hands interlocked but what caught my attention most was two sisters sharing an ice cream cone.
It was the most adorable thing and it took my mind back to when mum was still alive. When she would take me and Amy to the park and buy us ice cream. But I would always finish mine first and cry for Amy's and she would share with me every time.

A tear slip from my eye and ran down to my cheek.
I quickly wipe it off and turn back to face Davis.

He smiles at me but it didn't carry as much energy as it used to. He was hurt as much as I was.
He stayed awake all through last night, making sure I slept soundly.

I close my eyes but I don't know for how long. I suddenly feel Davis tap my lap.
I open my eyes and look in his direction.

"We're here." He says softly locking his eyes on my door. The same door he burst open when he heard my screams about a weeks ago.

I exit the car and he does the same trailing behind me as we head to the house.
The police had locked down the house for proper investigation particular to Amy's case. According to them, they had proof in here.
Thankfully, they gave us the key when Davis asked.
I took out the key from my pocket and unlock the door, pushing it in along with my body.

I look around the place for a while and take Davis hand, pulling him up the stairs and into what used to be I and Amy's room.

I turned on the lights and everything was still as it was the day it all happened.
The magazine we were looking at and Amy's envelope she gave me was still lying on the bed.

I picked up the envelope and opened it.
It contained a letter.
It read.

"Dear kid sis remember when you were 7 and you'd always cry over my stuff and I'd give it to you cos I can't afford buying you another?
Well I can now. Especially now that mum's not here, I have to look after you.

Take a walk down to the closet."

I pause and look at Davis. What's she talking about?
I shrug and do so anyway.
I continue reading.

" Now open the door and go in. Take five steps forward and three steps to your right.

Done that?
Great!

Look down into that old wooden box and take out a brown paper wrapped box."

I pause again, doing as she had described in the letter.
I took out the box and and head back into the bedroom.

Placing the box on the bed, I continue to read the last content in the letter.

"I see you've found it.
I really hope he asks you out.
Hope you like it.

Much love
Amy."

I looked at Davis. He was still much confused from all this.
Plus I haven't told him I've actually been telling Amy some of my experiences with him.
Well mostly all of it.
She knew I liked him from day one and has always wished he asked me out.

If only she knew we were a couple now. She's gone. Dad took her away from us.

I drop the letter and make an attempt to open the box.
Davis grabs my hands.

"What are you doing?"
I roll my eyes.
"What does it look like? I'm opening the fucking box."
He let's go of my hands and picks up the envelope I took out the letter from, moving it in front of me.

"It says boldly, August 8th, 2019. Why do you wanna open it now?"

I look at the paper and sigh.
I just remembered she made me promise to not open it until that date.

"Okay fine." I whisper.
"Help me get a few clothes from my cupboard." I tell him.
He nods as I go ahead to grab my school bag, putting some books into it.
