Sunflower - H.S

4.

Sadie Colon above ^

Elena Pov.

I blushed looking at the sunflower placed into my clear vase, there was a small note attached to the sunflower so I picked it up and read it.

I loved the coffee and getting to know you - H

I know he did it without Sadie knowing but I'm sure he was just saying thank you.

They seemed really happy together and I hope I can find a relationship like there's in the near future.

My phone began to ring so without even checking the number I answered the call out of boredom.

"Hello?"

"Elena, baby it's me Troy" his deep raspy voice pierced my ears as I furrowed my brows in confusion.

"What do you want?" I snapped. It was frustrating to hear his voice after calling off the wedding and not speaking for 3 weeks. I didn't need to be reminded of him anymore. He was in the past.

"I miss you, I miss your voice and your smile. I really need you" he slurred.

"Are you drunk?" I asked worried. Although I didn't want to care about him, I still cared for his safety; especially if he was drinking by himself.

"Yes, a little.. I'm going to drive home in a bit. Can I come see you?"

"No Troy! You can't drive like that!" I yelled in frustration.

Great.

"I'm coming to get you, where are you?" I asked grabbing my keys and my jacket.

"Duffy's"

"Alright, stay there..I'll be there in a few"

I hung up the phone and locked the door behind me. I heard laughing from Harry's apartment and then Sadie came out of it, startling me.

"Hey Elena!" She said brightly.

"Hey!" I exclaimed, I tried to walk away and down the stairs to get to my car but she stopped me.

"How long have you been living here?" she asked curiously.

"Uh..3 years"

Why was she even asking me that?

"Oh nice, I just wanted to say thanks for the peonies. Harry put them in the garden" she informed me. I laughed and nodded and tried to walk away again but...

"Would you like to come to our place for dinner tomorrow night?" She asked.

"I-I really have to go, my fianc- I mean friend is waiting for me" my patience is running low and I began to get annoyed.

So annoyed that I started to stutter with my words.

"Oh! Your fiancé ?! You and your fiancé should come over tomorrow night then! Me and Harry are cooking Thai, a new recipe of ours!" She laughed in giddiness. I rolled my eyes before turning towards the staircase.

Her high pitched voice was getting really agitating. I don't how Harry can handle the squeakiness that comes with it.

"Um, sure.. bye I really have to go!"

I knew that saying yes would make her finally stop running her mouth but I didn't think about how foolish it would be for Troy and I to rekindle.

Why did I do this to myself?

"Troy, take off your shirt! It's dirty!" I huffed holding him up as he sat onto the edge of my bed.

"Babyyy, chill.." he murmured. His head resting onto my waist as I fiddled with his jeans, attempting to remove the belt and pull the jeans down.

"Your not getting into my bed with your dirty clothes, I'm sure I have a pair of your sweatpants here"

"Baby, don't you miss us?" His rough hands were placed firmly onto my waist as I towered him. He was looking up at me with those icy blue eyes that I once fell in love with. His breath smelled of hard liquor and weed, I shook the thought of us ever getting back together out of my head.

"Stop Troy, it's time for bed.." I pulled away from his grasp as he grabbed my wrist making me turn to face him again.

"I miss you Elena, baby please.." he mumbled. He pulled me onto his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck.

I shook my head, tears wanted to form but I held them in, biting my cheek in anger. I felt sorry for him.

"Kiss me" he whispered into my ear.

I shivered at the thought of us. This was in the past, we fell out of love because he was so addicted to drinking every night. And I finally was able to get over him. Until now..

"No, no we can't" I whispered back.

"Why, baby just for tonight.."

"Troy-"

"Elena, just please" he cut me off bringing my face close to his and pressing his lips against mine. I didn't pull away because I was longing for some sort of affection and hopefully he will forget by tomorrow morning. But the thought of Harry crossed my mind. I tried my best to shake it away because Harry and Sadie belonged together and my chances with Harry were minimal.

Our lips moved in sync while his tongue twirled against mine, a strong taste of alcohol burning my lips. He laid back fully onto my bed pulling me on top and removing my long sleeved shirt and tossing it beside us.

"I love you Elena, I will always love you"

"I love you too" I lied..

I knew I'd regret the actions and waking up the next to him the next morning was the biggest mistake of my life, because he remembered..
