Kidnapped... Sort Of (Book I) {Editing Complete}

Give Me A Break Little Bro

Chapter 12

~Eli's P.O.V~

After telling Grace everything that she did at the party, she feel asleep in my arms again.

I carried her up to her room and walked back down stairs. Jayson was sitting on the couch now, Sassy sitting next to him.

I was about to scare him when I saw the unbelievable. 

He lifted his hand and stroked her back. She licked his hand and climbed into his lap. He smiled, yes smiled, and continued to pet her.

I scoffed, "I knew you couldn't hate her." I said walking up behind him.

He jumped and turned to see me, "You weren't supposed to see that."

"But I did." I sat down beside him.

"Where is Grace?" he asked.

"Sleeping upstairs."

"She had an adventure filled night." we laughed.

"I know, she didn't remember anything and I had to tell her."

Just then Alex walked down stairs, still looking sad. I am going to ask what is wrong, "Alex, what is your problem man?"

He ignored me so I walked up to him digging in the fridge.

He pulled out a blood bag and pushed me out of his way as he sucked the blood out.

I grabbed him and pinned him against the wall, the blood falling on the floor, "What is your problem?"

"Look you don't get it." he said.

"Really, try me." 

"You don't know what it is like to be the only thing that is keeping all of you safe. That is a lot of pressure." It took me a minute to get what he was talking about.

"This is about Damon isn't it?" I asked loosening my grip on him.

"Your right, he can't stand to hurt me. It is a lot of pressure on me. If he snaps and he kills me, he won't hesitate to kill you guys." 

"Oh my God, you feel like a tool, don't you?"

He nodded, "Isn't that what I am? I am the reason Damon hasn't killed you, or even come back." 

I gave him a big hug, "I'm sorry." 

Just then there was a knock on the door. I answered it and speak of the devil, there stood Damon.

"Leave." I said without giving him a chance to talk.

"I came to apologize." he said a little woozy. He is drunk. 

"I don't care, no one wants you here." 

"Give me a break little bro." he said wobbling into the house.

I grabbed his shoulder and threw him outside slamming the door in his face.

Of course him in his drunken state started knocking on the door and begging me to let him in.

I laughed at his attempt and turned up the TV. Eventually he left, probably to kill another innocent person that doesn't deserve the fate they are given.

~Grace P.O.V~

I awoke to the TV, louder than usual. I got up and walked down stairs groggily to Eli.

"Hey babe." He said as he turned the TV down.

"Why is the TV so loud?" I asked.

"Damon came over and I locked him outside. I was trying to muffle his cries and pleas to be let in." he said.

"What, Damon came here?" I asked.

"Yes but it's okay now." he said holding me close. This made me feel better.

"Eli?" I said when the realization hit me.

"Yes?"

I didn't wake up because the TV was too loud. I woke up because I felt like someone was in my room... "Um, Eli-" I was cut off by a strong pair of hands grabbing me and running out of the house with vampire speed.

I could hear Eli's yells as he chased us. I looked up at Damon and he winked at me. I screamed for Eli, or anyone.

He suddenly stopped and I looked to see why. 

I gasped, Alex stood in front of us. I looked up at Damon to see his blank expression. He noticed me looking and he turned his expression into anger but I could see hurt in his eyes, past all the red.

His grip loosened and I was able to get free. I ran to the closest tree and threw up. The vampire speed made me nauseous. I looked back up to see that they hadn't  moved. 

"Alex, you should leave." Damon said.

"No, just stop okay." Alex argued, he looked so tired.

"Alex, please, this isn't your battle to fight." Damon replied.

"But isn't it?" Damon was silent, "You and Eli fought, so I had to step in, just like always. I'm tired of this. You two act so selfish and I get punished for it because I try to save both of you from yourselves!"

I can tell this is a personal moment for them but I have no where else to go. Eli showed up and he heard the last part.

Damon didn't say a word, he just sped off.

Eli ran up to me, I was still a little woozy but I was getting better. "Are you okay?"

I threw up again and then finally answered, "Yes."

I noticed Alex just standing there, stunned at the words he had just spoken. I guess he had been holding it in for quite sometime.

Eli walked over to Alex and we started to walk home. I could tell Alex wasn't doing well and Eli cant fix it, he is the one that caused it.
