Fatal Beauty

Chapter 3

*Chapter 3*

As soon as school was over, I headed straight for Elijah's house. I grabbed the key from the creepy little knome on his porch and unlocked the door. I walked right into his room with out knocking and ploppled face down on his bed next to hime. When he strirred and opened his eyes, I felt guilty for waking him up. He rolled over and smiled. I smiled too, at how cute he looked sleeping.

"Well good afternoon. Have a nice nap?" I asked still smiling.

"Yes I did. Did you have a fun day at school?" My smile smile slowly retreated alittle.

"Grugggg don't get me started." I rolled over and stared at the ceiling.

"I've got time, and I'm sure you do too." I sighed and looked at him

"Well, that Stephen kid is just one of those jocks out for girls, and he's rude. Like, I bumped into him and he told me 'it's impolite to run into people.'" I said trying to immitate a male voice.

He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. "Lainy, can I tell you something?"

"Of course you can."

He exhaled and said, "I don't trust him, and neither should you."

I looked at him in confusion. "Why?"

He opened his eyes . "Lets just say it's not the first time we've met."

It was like a slap to the face. "Why haven't you told me?" I asked kind of pissed off that he chose not to tell me earlier.

"Because. I didn't want to scare you."

"Why would something like that scare me?" I asked confused.

"Because he's dangerous." I giggled, but then I looked at him he was dead serious.

"Ok well, how 'bout we talk about this tomorrow." I started to walk away but stopped when he said,

"Wait, please stay with me. Just lay down with me, we won't talk any more." I looked over my sholder to see him patting the spot next to him. I nodded and headed to the spot. I laid down slowly a couple inches away from him, but when I was laying fully on my back he pulled me close so he was pushed against me. Before I could say anything his breathing went evenand he was fast asleep.

I stared at the wall for a while until I heard a door open then close. I wondered who it could be because Elijah's parents were on a business trip and wouldn't be back until wednesday. I decided to go investigate. I got up as slowly and as quietly as I could. Whe Elijah stirred it made me freeze , but he didn't wak up. I was about to resumes walking when I heard him mumble my name. I stood there and waited for him to ask me what I was doing, but it never came.

I slowly turned around, relieved he was still asleep. I opened his door and tip-toed down the hallway. I went down the stairs, but no one was there. I went into kitchen only to find the backdoor ajar. I walked over to it and closed it realizing how dark it was.

'Well there goes my plan for walking home.' I thought. I didn't want to take the chance of wakeing Elijah up, so I just went to the living room and layed on the floor. I closed my eyes and wondered why Elijah mumbled my name in his sleep. I decided I would ask him tomorrow morning. Soon I was engulfed in darness.

I woke up the next morning in the guest room bed. "How the cracking hell, did I get in here?" I mumbled to myself.

"I carried you up here in the middle of the night." His voice startled the crap out of me. In fact, I fell off the bed and onto my butt."I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." He said alittle worried.

"It's fine. Are you okay?" He looked slightly confused until I added, "You haven't been acting like yourself lately. You also said my name last night, while you were sleeping." I said in a rush. He just starred at me then stormed off. I took after him. "Elijah! Please don't ignore me, you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to!" I yelled after him I didn't really know where he went so I just ran around the house looking for him.

I finally found hi in his backyard, in the woods. "Elijah? Are you mad at me?" I could've sworn he was about twenty feet away when within a second his hands were on my arms and his lips were crushed against mine.

At first I was suprised. I had relaxed and closed my eyes after a second or two. Our lips moved in sync. He let go of my arms and wrapped them around my waist pulling me closer. I snaked my arms around his neck and ran my hands through his light brown hair.

He pulled back and I sighed, not wanting it to be over. He quickly unwrapped his arms from my waist and I pulled my arms away from around his neck.

"I...I...have to go. See you tomorrow." I said as quickly as possible a turned around to run home. I ran as fast as I could home. When I got there I sat against my wall and put my head between my knees. I had so many emothions over powering me. Confussion, regret, love, relief, and anger.

Confused at what just happened. Regret that our friendship will never be the same. Love that he feels that way for me. Relief for what he did to prove it. And anger that he stormed off without saying a word then kissed me.

I sat there for awhile, until my phone beeped. I had a message from Elijah. I opened it and it said:

'I'm sorry. Come over and we can talk. You don't have to though. Oh, and you left you back pack here.'

I groaned and threw my phone on the floor. After a few minutes, I stood up and headed for his house.
