Unconditionally Heartless

Chapter 13

After four days and two hours, I finally had the stupid essay done. Two thousand words of a whole lot of crap I really wasn't in the mood for writing but I got it done... at two o'clock on Monday morning.

I hadn't seen Ellicia since that day but it wasn't like I'd tried to go see her. Maybe she really packed up and left this time? Maybe that'd be best for both of us.

I'd rather she be gone so I can focus on my courses instead of living in a toxic relationship with her... but I also did have to admit that it's not all toxic. We've had our good moments, moments of happiness and love. Memorable moments that didn't leave my head so easily.

I missed her, I couldn't deny that. I missed her heaps and I'd been worried but I'm always the one who goes running back.

When I told Col about it, he just told me to wait and see if she came back. If she was desperate enough then she'd come back when she was all cool again. I took his advice and hadn't called or gone to see her, instead, I've been waiting for her to come to me this time.

I took a quiet breath as I sent my essay off to my professor before I started shutting everything down and packing up roughly. As I pulled off my headphones, I tensed suddenly when cold hands covered my eyes slightly.

My heart jumped to my throat from the fright but as soon as her perfume hit my nose, I relaxed a bit.

"I won't leave you ever again like that. I promise."

Ellicia Walker making promises? When did that happen? I thought as I stayed still, kept my eyes closed as she put her chin on my head.

"Come to the roof?"

"I need to get some sleep," I whispered back, taking another minute before I got up and turned my lamp off. I quietly moved to the window that was open, closed it gently because I didn't want to wake Col up.

"I have vodka," she put in, following me to bed as I pulled off my shirt and sweatpants, got under the blankets. I turned my back to her, closed my eyes because I really wasn't up for spending time with her. Especially on that roof where we could fall and die... it could be a trap.

"Yeah, make me drunk and push me off the roof so I die," I muttered back and then sighed a little when she walked around and got in with me.

"I like you alive," she whispered back before I felt her lips peck my cheek softly. "I hope we can get over this and be happy again."

"Maybe after you tell me what you've been up to," I mumbled but I really wasn't up for it tonight. I sighed as I turned around and away from her, felt her hand come to my back before her nails were drawing over it.

"I'm sorry," I felt first, making my eyes open because this was the closest thing to an apology she's ever given. She took her hand back and when I didn't feel or hear anything for a few moments, I closed my eyes again in best hope that I'd fall asleep without a hassle.

"Col, shut the fuck up!" I heard, awaking me before I grunted a little when a body fell down onto mine, soft groans in my ear.

"The hell?" I muttered angrily, pushing Ellicia off me only to have her back on, her head on my chest as I heard Col grumble something on the other side.

"How the fuck do you sleep through that?" She exclaimed, turning her head to look at me as I tried waking up a bit more to handle the current events. I frowned at her sleepily, trying to remember how she got into my bed after four days no show.

I took a minute to remember last night. I finally got the essay finished and then she magically popped out of nowhere... her usual way of appearing.
