Chapter Seven.
-----------
Milo's P.O.V
It felt as though my heart has shattered into a million pieces. The sight of Eli's lips connecting with Jesper's was simply unbearable. I can't- I need to get home. This pain is too much for me to handle. But the thought of Eli being with Jesper was even worse and As I saw Jesper wrap his hands around her waist, my fists clenched with anger. I tried to look as though I didn't see anything and I was perfectly fine but I wasn't fooling anyone.
"Eli, wait up!" I shouted my voice breaking.
Eli turned around with emotions on her face I didn't understand. Was it shock? Why the hell would she be shocked? Unless she thought.........
No. Of course not. Don't be stupid Milo, I told myself.
But why did she look so broken? I hated seeing her beautiful face upset. I wanted to reach out and comfort her but.. I just couldn't.
I was about to speak when she turned around and ran away. I didn't see her face but I'm sure I heard sobs. I wanted to run after her but my body wouldn't move. Instead, I turned around and punched Jesper in the face as hard as I could.
"What the fuck are you doing here!?" I screamed at him
"Why Eliza, Jesper? Why her! Do you have a habit of stealing away all the people I love from me? First it was Charlotte, now Eli? Does it fucking satisfy you to rip my heart out? Does it?! You know what? I hate you and I really wish you'd go to hell."
Without letting him reply, I walked off heading home. It's funny how such a wonderful night can end in a complete disaster.

Eliza's P.O.V
I think I've ran out of tears. I'm so tired of crying but it just doesn't seem to stop. Every time I see the look of hurt in my best friend's face, I just can't help but cry.
After running home, I locked myself in my room and cried myself to sleep. And now I'm awake at 3 in the morning with a horrible head ache.
I was still wearing the dress I wore for tonight so I changed into my pyjamas and tried to get back to sleep.
Just as I was about to drift off, I heard a knock on my door. Annoyed, I walked over to unlock it.
This better not be my mum or dad. Why on earth would they be-
"Um.. Hey.." the oh so familiar voice said.
He stood there leaning against my door, biting his lip with a worried expression on his face.
Does he even realise how damn sexy he looks? Even with a bed head he looks so fu- Argh I hate myself for even thinking these things.
"I just wanted to say-"
*slam* before he could even finish what he was saying, I slammed the door at his face and slowly walked back to my bed.
Does he think he could just come to my room looking like a hot model, apologise and everything will be okay? No I don't think so. What an arrogant jerk.
As I tried to get comfy again, I felt a large, soft pillow next to me which I grabbed and snuggled in to. I sighed with content.
"I'm flattered that you enjoy hugging onto my body so much sweet heart" The husky voice said
My heart skipped a beat.
"What the hell are you doing on my bed you idiot?!" I screamed as I pushed Jesper off the bed.
He landed with a thump on the floor
"oooo feisty, I like it!" he stood up winking at me
"Arghhhhh! Just go away Jesper! You are seriously the last person I want to see right now" I hissed with venom in my voice
"Aww, don't be like that sweet heart! I know you enjoy my company very much" he said walking closer to me with a smirk
He was now right in front of me and I could smell his sweet sweet scent "No Jesper. Just go please." I whispered softly as I felt the tears coming out of my eyes again.
I turned around so he couldn't see me cry.
"Hey hey hey! Face me Eli-.. Are you crying?
Why are you crying Eli?" he asked me with a hint of care in his voice.
"Y- You.. You kissed me!" I shouted as I slapped him across the face.
I started to cry even more and soon enough the tears were unstoppable.
Jesper gently lifted me onto the bed and he cradled me like a baby, caressing my face.
"Shhh, it's okay Eli. Please don't cry, your beautiful face does not deserve to get ruined with tears by a jerk like me. Please Eli. I am so so sorry. I really don't know what came over me.. I- I.."
I sat up and stared at his gorgeous blue eyes. Those eyes which I seem to get lost in every time. Why does he always make me feel this way? Every time I see him I get a funny feeling inside.. butterflies I think. When he talks it's like a harmony to my ear. I hate how I don't hate him at all!
"Eliza? Please talk to me" he begged softly
I realised that his face was dangerously close to mine, My heart started beating crazily as I felt his breath on my cheeks.....
"Ahem umm.." I stood up awkwardly away from Jesper. "Why did you do it Jesper?" I questioned him pleadingly.
"Just tell me why. Did you just want to embarrass me? Or ruin my night? Or play with me and my feelings? What Jesper! Tell me why on earth you'd do something like-"
"BECAUSE I LIKE YOU ELIZA! OK? Are you happy now?! I freaking like you! Ever since the first time I looked into those beautiful brown eyes of yours! Ever since You knocked into me that day! I have loved you- Oh Uh I mean liked you ever since.." He looked away embarrassed.
I was completely speechless. I didn't know what to say, I was too shocked. So I said anything that came to mind.
"Hey do you like koalas? I love koalas. They like just chill on a tree not doing much.. eating their bamboo. Oh no wait that's a panda! OMG pandas are so cute! and they're the least racist animal aswell 'cause like they're both black and white, ha ha do you get it? What about turtles, don't you think it's mean making them carry that heavy shell around all day......."
I paused to look at Jesper who had an amused expression on his face. He was about to say something so I decided to carry on
"hey! Wouldn't it be ironic if someone died in a living room?! because like it's a living room.. where people live and not die and but-"
I was cut off by Jesper's lips crashing on to mine. I stood frozen, I was too shocked to move. Jesper nibbled on my bottom lip which caused me to finally respond to the kiss. Jesper lifted me up by my legs and brought me to the bed. Jesper tried to deepen the kiss by licking my lips and I parted my mouth which allowed him to slip his tongue in so I bit it.
"Ouch! Wah wath tha thor?" He groaned his tongue obviously hurting.
"Not so fast Mister!" I giggled to myself
"pffft, way to go on ruining the moment sweet heart" he scoffed sounding annoyed.
I lay next to him on the bed and snuggled my head on his perfectly defined chest. Jesper kissed the top of my head and whispered "Go to sleep now Eli, sweet dreams."
"Umm okay, but can I ask you a question?"
"Yeah sure whatever.." he yawned sleepily
"Do you really like me Jesper?" I asked in a little voice
"Yes I do Eliza. I really do." he whispered in my ear as I fell in to a deep sleep.
--------------------------
Ouch, i groaned. My head was pounding so hard it feels like it's about to explode. I blinked my eyes open and remembered the happenings of last night. I smiled from ear to ear as I pictured the image of Jesper's lips on mine. I can't believe he actually said he liked me and he kissed me~! twice! if I may add.
As I was about to get up from the- wait. wh- why the hell am I on the floor? I don't remember sleeping here? I swear I was on my bed with Jes- Why am I still wearing the dress I wore last night? I'm pretty sure I was wearing my pyjamas. Jesper even complimented me on how cute I looked in them. Unless... Oh my God. It can't be. I.. I can't believe this. No. No. NO. I stood up rapidly and ran to my bedroom door, I tried to open it but... I couldn't. It was locked. It was locked from when I locked it after coming home crying. It was locked which meant that noone came in my room. Noone came in my room at all last night. Jesper.... The kiss.. everything... It was all just a dream.
I should have known. Jesper could never any feelings for a girl like me. After all, he is Jesper.
and with that, I cried my eyes out. My heart was braking all over again. I cried like I cried last night, only this time.. 10x worse.
