Ch10: Oh Elliot, Forget Your Girlfriend Let's Be Together Forever
"You can't run away," everyone starts yelling at me "you coward."
"No," I scream and sit up.
Again. That stupid nightmare.
I look around and realize I'm laying down in my bed.
What happened?
Shit. Last thing I remeber was being sick and then... oh no.
I kissed him. He kissed me. We kissed.
No, no, no, no. This can't be happening.
I look over at my clock.
It's two in the aftertoon! How long was I asleep?
I HAVE WORK!
This day just keeps getting better and better and better.
I stand up and realize I'm already dressed for work.
Oh, yeah.
Quickly fixing my messy bun I walk out of the room only to find a guy other than Elliot sleeping on my couch.
"Hey," I poke him "wake up."
"Lydia," he yawns "what are you doing out of bed?"
It's Noah.
Is he okay?
He has big dark bags under his blue bright eyes and he has a weak small smile.
"I have work," I answer "what are you doing here?"
"No work for you today I called you in sick," he sits up running his hands through his hair "and Jason called me. Told me you were sick and I came."
"Where's Elliot?" I ask.
What am I going to do when I see him?
Should we talk about it or do I just pretend like it never happened?
"He went to go buy something to eat," Noah says before gesturing for me to sit next to him and I do. "Elliot doesn't seem to like me very much although he's been acting strange around you."
Is it because of the kiss?
"Strange?" I ask casually "how?"
"He just seems very overprotective," Noah looks at me and I keep my face impassive "I mean he wouldn't let me take you to the emergency room."
He kept the promise.
Why, oh why, do you have to do such nice things Stone?
Why don't you just make me hate you?
That would be easier.
"That is wierd," I shrug "maybe he didn't think I was that sick."
"You had a really high fever Lydia," he emphasizes "anyone in their right mind would have taken you to the emergency room."
Did I?
I feel fine now.
"Hey," the door is thrown open and Elliot walks in with grocery bags.
Elliot Stone went to the grocery store.
This is what I mean.
Why can't he just be an ugly good for nothing loser?
"What are you doing out of bed?" Elliot places the bags on the table and walks towards me.
Okay, rewind.
You have a girlfriend Stone.
Oh god, is that the type of person I am now?
Kissing guys who are taken.
"I feel better," I stand up and take a few steps back.
Space. Thats what I need.
"Well Mr. Prince charming is here," Noah stands up smirking and I see Elliot glaring at the back of his head. "I have class in an hour so I think I'm gonna go."
"Okay," I smile "thanks for coming....Noah, are you okay?"
"Yeah," he nods "why do you ask?"
"Well you were asleep on my couch when I woke up."
"Good thing I left you in good hands," Elliot snarls and I glare at him.
"Well graduation is coming up and classes are tough that's all," he smiles completely ignoring Elliot.
"You sure?" I insist and for a second I think I see him taken back, but its gone quickly.
"At least ninety-four percent," he jokes.
"When you want to talk about the other six percent I'm here, okay?" I say genuinely smiling and this time he's really taken back.
Why is it so surprising for me to say something nice?
'Well, for as long as he has known you all you've done is push him away,' my subconscious snarls 'all to protect to that sweet little secret of yours."
Right, but I am protecting my secret.
Just that I'm allowing myself to be happy and from now on a good friend.
'You're also allowing youself to get attached to Elliot,' my subconscious argues 'and that is why everything you've done these last three years is going to go to hell.'
No, I'm never letting that happen.
"Of course," Noah smiles, a full ear to ear grin.
"You should go to class," Elliot says his tone serious "we wouldn't want for you to be late."
We really need to talk Stone.
"Right," Noah and I glare at him "I should go."
"Okay," I say and for a second I wonder if I should hug him.
Would that be too much?
Am I allowing myself to get too emotional?
Could this put my secret in danger?
"I'll come back later babe," Noah winks and before I can say anything he's out the door.
Should I have hugged him?
"Okay," Elliot takes a deep breath and closes the door.
No feelings attached.
Here goes nothing...
"What's your problem?" I ask glaring at him.
"What do you mean?" he asks confused.
"I'm talking about your attitude towards Noah," I answer.
"I don't like him that's all," he shrugs and makes his way towards me.
"No," I put my hand on his chest "don't get close to me."
"Lyddie," he's taken back "you and me we-"
"There is no you and me," I interrupt him "did you forget you have a girlfriend?"
"Macy is complicated," he runs his hands through his hair.
"Look Elliot," I shake my head "what we did was a misake. I have no feelings for you and you have a girlfriend so let's just forget about the mistake we made."
"Mistake?" He scoffs.
What did you expect Stone?
"Yes mistake," I exclaim "a big mistake because like I said you have a girlfriend and I have no feelings towards you."
"Lydia kissing you was not a mistake," he says and for a millisecond I want to throw myself at him.
When did I lose control over my emotions?
"Kissing you was a mistake," I tell him keeping my face emotionless "and it won't ever happen again. So the sooner you let it go the better."
"Are you asking me to just act like it didn't happen?" He looks at me shocked as if I was asking him to grow another head.
"What did you expect Elliot?" I ask pretending to be amused "that I would jump on you and say 'oh Elliot, forget your girlfriend let's be together forever'....Well newsflash I don't want that."
"You're only saying this to push me away," he smirks "but it's not working Lyddie."
Oh no you don't Stone. I guess I'll pull out the big guns.
"Is that what you think?" I smirk back. "You are seriously pathetic Stone. Finding excuses to explain why A girl doesn't like you. What a sad excuse of a person you are. Honestly you can think whatever you want, but its you who's lying to themself not me."
I think he's going to answer, but he just shakes his head and walks out of the apartment slamming the door shut behind him.
I'm sorry Elliot, but if I let you in you will crush everything.
I can't let that happen.
I won't let that happen.
I'd rather crush you instead....
A/N : I updated yay!! I don't have anything else to say other than hope you have a wonderful day.
