Ch.29

The house name is Miami Linked (just wanted to let you know)

(Y/n)'s POV 

I was sitting in the office anxious, my legs were shaking and so were my hands. The thought of seeing Elijah again was crazy in my head and the more I tried to believe what the officers were telling me, I still had other thoughts in my head. We all saw him in the casket and we saw his blondish brownish hair all nicely fixed up when it was time to say goodbye. 

All I wanted to know was why did he hide for so long.

I was looking down at my hands when Jake's hand met mine and he held on tight. We were all anxious and tired because none of us could sleep last night with what we had heard. 

Anthony was next to me, all I heard from him was unsteady breathing. He hadn't seen Elijah in years and the thought of seeing your best friend, who you thought was dead, was scary. 

My racing thoughts were interrupted by a door opening in front of us. The same police officer from when we all got into trouble that one night was there looking at all of closely, "New members I see. Nice to see you guys again." He walked away, then turned back around, and then looked at me with sympathy in his eyes. 

We waited for another hour and then we were led into a big room seperated into two with a glass window. We sat down at the seats and then looked back at the officer, "What's going on?" I asked.

"We are going to bring in some men and you guys are going to tell me if you know any of them. Maybe some that you might have run into in the past or may have something against you." As the officer finished his sentence a group of men walked in and stood in a line facing us. 

We looked at them carefully and then as my eyes met one of them, Sebastian grabbed my arm, "That's him." Even though that was all Sebastian said I knew what he meant. It was the same guy Sebastian had beat up in the park that one day, he didn't let go of what happened in the past and now we felt as if he did something that had changed all of our lives.

Sebastian's POV 

 I looked at (Y/n) with scared eyes and I knew she was feeling the same. As we both pointed out the guy we recognized the officer nodded his head and then lead all of us out into a smaller room. 

We all sat down and he explained to us that Elijah was beat up at the bridge and forced to leave by the group of guys from the park. The body was fake and was like a little model like the one in Stranger Things when they were faking Will's death. All of us just sat in our seats quiet. We didn't know what to say, the thought of our best friend still being alive was crazy. I looked over at Jake who was holding (Y/n)'s hand tight because I'm pretty sure he was more nervous than any of us were. 

"Where is he now?" Jackson asked, his eyes were red from last night, he cried more than any of us did when we found out. 

"He's at the hospital, all I know is his mom is over there right now but I'm not sure if they are allowing guests. Look kids..." He sat down in the chair across from us and sighed deeply, "We are really sorry that we didn't look into the case better. Turns out the guy that you all picked was involved with the previous murder around the elementary school, so it was good to finally catch him. But if we had worked harder he wouldn't have been in the state he is in. We found him somewhere in Arizona and he wasn't healthy. If you guys want to go by the hospital I'll help drop some of you off, because I don't know how you all fit in her car." He laughed as he looked at (Y/n) and so did all of us because we didn't know how either. 

"Thank you sir." Jake said getting up and shaking his hand. 

"No problem, well let's get going. I'm pretty sure your friend is going to be happy to see all of you guys." He smiled and then we all got up and headed towards the cars. (Y/n), Jake, and Jackson rode with me in (y/n)'s car and Kalden and Anthony rode in the police car because they never had the experience. Too bad that all of the og members had too much experience. We pulled up to the hospital and said thanks to the cop and then ran inside. 

"Elijah Lamb." We all said in unison to the lady in the front who already looked overwhelmed. 

"Room 305." 

We all ran to the hallway and looked for the number, as I was running a little faster I stopped. I stood in front of the door labeled 305 and walked in with the rest following behind me. He was just laying there very still and we all stood around him. Medical gear was attached to him and he looked pretty f'd up. I sat down on a chair near him and we all just waited for him to say something or wake up or anything. (Y/n) sat on the bed close to him and looked at him closely. Her eyes filled with tears and then she started to sob, Jake rubbed her back and kept telling her "it was going to be okay. We all waited there for hours, just for him to wake up, maybe even wave at us. We were all laying on the ground, Anthony, Kalden, and Jackson were all asleep. Jake and (Y/n) were sitting together and I was sitting next to my best friend just praying to God that he would wake up. I laid my head on the bed and ending up dozing off until someone touched my head. I grabbed the hand and held onto it, when I noticed who it belonged to I started crying. Elijah had moved and now he was staring at me straight in the eyes. He was smiling and patting my hand which made me cry more. Everyone else woke up and the room just filled with tears and happiness that our best friend was back. 

"Elijah?" (Y/n) said as she walked closer to him. 

He nodded his head and she went and hugged him super tight, we all looked at his happy eyes as he saw (Y/n). He hugged her tight and none of them wanted to let go. 

Jake's POV 

(Y/n) was still laying down with Elijah,  they had both fallen asleep and I walked over to Sebastian looking for some company. "Hey." I said.

"Hey." 

I sat down next to him and then spoke up again, "I'm sorry dude."

"For what?" He looked at me all confused. 

"For not thinking about your feeling towards (Y/n), it was a selfish move and we had agreed when we were little that we would never let anyone break up our friendship, so I'm sorry I broke that small promise." 

"Don't worry about it, she's happy right now. That's all that matters. When Elijah gets out of here though, that's a different story." 

"What do you mean?" I asked. 

"Elijah has his first and only love with him right now. I don't know what's going to happen when it's all back to normal."

I didn't say anything after that, I just stayed silent. I didn't think (Y/n) would just let me go that easily, but there was still a small part of me that was insecure of losing her again. 

I laid my head back on the wall and started to doze off, but my mind wasn't on (y/n), it was on the fact that our group was all together again and now we were never going to take each other for granted ever again.
