Unwanted

Chapter 11

In the morning I woke up still tangled in Noahs arms and for once I had a full night of sleep without a single nightmare.

As much as I deny it I actually like living here and I don't wanna leave but I guess there's nothing I can do about it.

I don't wanna move again though.

Maybe I should just run away. I've done it before.

I managed to get myself out of Noahs grip without waking him up and quietly made my way to my room.

Am I really gonna do this?

Yes, yes I am.

I went into my walk in closet and grabbed my backpack and began putting in anything I might need.

"What are you doing?"

I looked up from where I was crouched on the floor to see Jordan at the door of my closet.

"Um..."

"Were you planning on leaving?" he asked.

I stayed silent not really sure as to what I should say.

"I thought you said you were happy here, did you change your mind?"

"Is this about last night?" he asked when I still didn't respond.

"Look just don't say anything okay" I finally spoke.

"So you are leaving. Why?" he crossed his arms and leaned on the door frame.

"Why do you care what I do?" I snapped "ever since I got here you made it clear that you didn't want me to stay."

"I already told you I was sorry about that and I do want you to stay."

"Yeah ok" I continued to shove a hoodie into my bag when it was ripped out of my hands.

"Give it back" I tried grabbing my bag back out of Jordans hands but he moved it out of my reach.

"Your not leaving" he said sternly.

"I'm gonna be kicked out anyway so it doesn't matter."

He scrunched his eyebrows in confusion and looked at me for a moment before speaking.

"Why on earth would you think that? We would never kick you out"

I scoffed and grabbed another bag only to also have that taken away.

He took my hand and pulled me up.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked as he dragged me out of my room.

My question was answered when he opened Elliotts door and lead me inside.

"What's up?" Elliott asked as he was putting a shirt on.

"Lexi was planning on running away" Jordan blurted and Elliott froze in place, his eyes widened as he looked to me.

"What why?" he asked.

"She thinks she's gonna be kicked out, I caught her packing a bag."

Elliotts eyes softened as he walked over to me.

"Lex how many times do I have to tell you that your here to stay, we would never kick you out no matter what" he said as he placed his hands on the side of my biceps and looked me straight in the eye.

"Why?" I asked as I looked down.

"Why what?" he questioned.

"Why would you want me to stay? Especially after yesterday."
