The Troubles Of Loving Elijah

Chapter 25

~~The Next Morning~~

I woke up in my bed, Elijah was by my side and without a shirt. I was fully clothed which made me feel better. Maybe we didn't... Hopefully, we didn't... I went to the bathroom and the thought slipped my mind, Elijah knew that I wasn't okay with it. I undressed in front of the mirror. Suddenly a purple dot caught my eye. I ripped off my clothing to see more of them!! I shook my head.

"No..." I said to myself. My sides had a few small bruises... Fingerprints....

"Elijah...?" I called. I was trying not to panic. I put my pants back on but was only in my bra. I walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom where Elijah was coming toward the bathroom. He smiled at me then saw how distressed I was. I pointed down at my stomach and he nearly got sick.

"I hurt you..." He said solemnly.

"I don't remember this?!" I said panicking. Elijah looked at me, an almost guilty look in his eyes.

"Elijah... Did we?" I asked nearly tearing up.

"No," he quickly objected. I took a breath of relief. "You said no. So no," he said making me feel so much better.

"But then what are these?" I asked looking down at my stomach.

"When were came back to the hotel you and I got into the alcohol... Then you said you wanted to take a swim. I threw you into the pool and I must have manhandled you a little too much...

"That sounds about right," I said remembering some of it now.

"How are you feeling? You drank quite a bit last night..." He said.

"I'm definitely gonna throw up in the shower," I joked but was still kinda serious.

"I'll make some coffee for when you get out and I wouldn't recommend having the water too hot," he said.

I was in and out of the shower in no time. I took Elijah's advice about the water and it felt like I was in a waterfall. I got out and got dressed in sweat pants and comfortable clothes. I sat down with Elijah and drank some coffee with hazelnut creamer. It was the perfect amount.

"This is great Elijah thank you," I thanked. Then I thought of something odd. I could have this... Everyday. Being with Elijah made me breathe easier, he had me forget. But he also made me remember. What about school? What about my friends? Elena? Even though she had given me up to Elijah, it could very well be the best thing that has ever happened to me.

"You're welcome," he said smiling.

"Did you have anything planned today?" I asked secretly hoping he didn't.

"Not unless there is something you want to do today," he said.

"I thought today we could just chill," I said taking another sip of coffee.

"Sounds good to me," he said. I got chills.

Elijah and I then spent the rest of the day discovering what was on TV. We cuddled a bit and it was lovely. It then started to get late and my eyes were so heavy that I just fell asleep on Elijah. But he didn't mind he liked it.
