The Five: Elementals

7

After hours of shopping we were finally done, not that I was complaining.

Reece is fun to be around and I enjoy shopping.

But for some reason I just can't stop thinking about Ryan, he's always on my mind no matter what I do.

"Double A" I flinched when I heard him from behind me.

"Hey Ryan" I say and for some unessisary reason I pull him in for a hug.

There was something I couldn't quite place that just made me want to be with him. He's definitely attractive, with his beautiful Hispanic skin and fluffy brown hair to his round pink lips.

My phone buzzing pulled me from my daze I whipped my head back and forth before pulling it out of my pocket.

"Hello?" I asked turning my back to Ryan's confused eyes.

"Aaliyah" Ashton spoke.

"Oh hey Ashton, how are you?"

"I'm fine but nows not the time for that I need you and Ryan to meet at my apartment in ten"

He said urgently

"Wait Ashton what hap-" I was cut off
By the sound of him hanging up groaning I shoved my phone in the waist band of Ryan's sweats and turned back towards him.

"Well Ashton wants us at his apartment in ten minutes so..." I trailed off, he nodded in understanding and grabbed my hand.

When we got to the apartment Ryan let go of my hand and it would be a lie to say that I was fine with it.

"What was so important that you rushed us all over here?" Danielle was sassing off to Ashton.

"Trust me, your gonna want to hear this" Amiyah said.

"Hey freckles" I turned to find Greg.

"Oh hey" I say smiling, for some reason seeing him doesn't give me the tingles that it used to.

"So I was thinking"

"Oh God" drake joked.

"Would you maybe wanna go on a date with me?"

What do I say to that!?

Luckily for me I didn't have to say anything because Ashton cleared his throat.

"Our guest has arrived".

Suddenly a woman I had seen many times in my dreams stepped through the door.

"Mom?" Amiyah spoke first, the angelic woman nodded. I only stood there frozen.

"My babies" she said her eyes turning glassy, she stepped forward pulling us into a tight hug. I didn't hug her back.

"You're dead" I finally spoke after she released us, she gave me a long look.

"My death was staged" she said after sometime, my breath hitched.

She looks like she's in good health so that means she willingly left Addy, Alex, Amiyah and I.

"So what, we weren't good enough for you?" I snapped as Amiyah stood there silently, I felt Ryan's warm hand take mine and I squeezed letting him know I appreciated him.

"No, baby it wasn't like that"

"Then how was it?" I felt my eyes stinging with tears that threatened to spill over.

"Why don't the six of you have a seat, I have alot to explain".

Everyone took a seat except for me and Ryan, whom I had a death grip on.
