"What happened?" I blurted out curiously not thinking about how annoying that probably made me seem.

"I got mugged on my way here by some guys but I beat them all" I gave him a wide smile and patted his thick bicep.

"Woah, that's so cool" I gushed in excitement and I waved my hands around. I have always wanted to get involved in a fight.

Elijah raised his brow, his lips twitching upwards in a smile but he hissed in pain at his knuckles and cheek. My eyes widen when I thought about the mini first aid kit in my bag. I ran back to where I carelessly threw my empty bag and took out a mini kit from a hidden compartment.

This has become a habit, I guess, to carry a kit with you everywhere in case your wound opens up, you never know.

Elijah raised his brow-yet again- when I brought up the kit to him.

"Do you want to do it yourself or I can do it for you?" I suggested him with a small smile and he nodded his head offering his hand to me.

Having quite experience with me, I quickly and expertly dressed his knuckles and covered them neatly with gauze. Time for his cheek. Squeezing some of the ointment on my finger, I looked up to see Elijah staring at me with an intense gaze.

My cheeks heat up and my face flushed as I tried to avert his gaze. Chewing my bottom lip, I ran my finger on his cheekbone. He didn't even hiss in pain. I'd be withering and wheezing on the floor by now.

He was strong. And handsome!.....

I blushed and cursed myself when I looked at the band-aids and found that they were frozen ones! ugh, fricking burnt toast and nuggets! Dang, it. Pineapple!

Elijah looked at them and chuckled shaking his head. I looked in contemplation and just stared at his face.

"Hurry along, Alara", hooooooollllllyyyyyy Nutella, my name has never sounded this beautiful.

I blinked at him once, then twice, and then shrugged putting a frozen band-aid on his cheek. I bit my lip to control my laughter but it slipped anyways as I burst into a fit of laughter covering my mouth, he looked so silly!

Elijah gave me a blank look and narrowed his eyes but I could see the amusement dancing in his eyes. They looked bright and full of life unlike just moments prior where he looked all deadly and ready to kill.

Just then we heard loud banging on the door, all traces of my laughter gone and I looked at Elijah with a fearful face. I tried to at least put on a strong front but who am I kidding?

 Strong and me? Pffft. I'm weak as a noodle!

Elijah turned all serious and sighed standing up to open the door. I looked at him panicked, what was he doing?!! Why was he opening the dang door?! Why the heavens was he-

Oh. It was just Nate who was panting, breathing heavily almost wheezing using his knee for support. He then looked at Elijah and then burst into a fit of laughter, falling dramatically on the floor, and occasionally slapping it and clutched his stomach, his laughter booming around the room. Talk about drama and extra.

"Is that a fucking frozen stic-" He paused looking around the room.

Then his eyes landed on me and he instantly ran over to me and cradled my small self in his big arms.

"Oh, my- my smol precious tiny lil been" He uttered, his voice full of sympathy and concern as he caressed my hair and hugged me tighter.

"Am fine" I choked out but he just continued.

"I'm so sorry, my tiny wittle Lara Bear, I don't know how it must have been for you, my cookie- oww" He winced when Eljiah punched the back of his neck and he let go of me. Freaking finally.

Nate smiled sheepishly caressing the back of his neck, "Oh, sorry Labear"

"How'd you know?" Elijah asked him standing, leaning on the wall with his arms crossed and his usual blank face with eyes that starred inside your soul and scared the living nuts outta you.

"There is a whole mission going out there, it's fucking  crazy! They have like a whole team divided in squads to look for you, they are so fucking scary" He shuddered looking at me and gave me a sympathetic look. I gulped looking at Elijah who just gave me a blank nod.

"It's nothing to worry about, they are just a bunch of fools" Elijah muttered in a strong voice playing with a ball that I don't even know where he found from.

"Yes, Lara Bear, we're here to protect you, we're your knights in shining Armour," Nate said with a determined face and grabbed a packet of chips from underneath the couch. Where the chocolate fudge are they just grabbing things from?

I patted around the couch, and my eyes widened in disbelief as I found snickers laying there. What the heck?

Shrugging, I took off the wrapper and start munching it. 

"So what do we do now?" I asked in a low soft voice and Elijah looked like he was figuring something out.

"We just stay here, hang out and shit, and we'll leave whenever you want to, remember you don't need to be scared from anyone Angel, especially not these measly pathetic fools," Elijah said to me in a soft tone, coming to sit beside me and rubbed my shoulder in comfort. 

"Yeah, don't be scared from anyone, every boy here is scared to death from our Eli right here cuz he basically jus-" And then he was paused and gulped nervously with a sheepish smile chuckling nervously looking at Elijah who was giving him a death glare I-will-fudging-kill-you-where-you-sit kinda look.

"What?" I asked curiously playing with my fingers looking at the two of them as they conversed with their eyes.

"Nothing Lara Bear, you don't worry your pretty little head about it," Nate said to me waving the conversation off and indulging me with a documentary of butterflies. 

"I'm kinda hungry", I murmured after a while glad my stomach wasn't growling like a beast it usually does. It would have been so embarrassing. 

"Sorry, Alara but we only have snacks in here, and I m hungry as well," Nate said rubbing his stomach while I gave him a stinky eye.

"You ate 5 fricking packets of chips all by yourself" I accused him with a pointed look poking his chest while Elijah shoved his head with his foot.

"What?! I'm a growing boy, I need my food" He scoffed with an offended expression dusting off his clothes and standing up. Elijah stood up as well and picked up my bag.

"Time to face our fear, Lara Bear," Nate said with a serious look, his chest tight as he looked up to the sky.

Elijah rolled his eyes and gave me a hand, "Let's go Angel"

Please, please, please, for the sake of donuts, cakes, pizza, fries, burgers, pasta, pastries, ice cream and every good thing in the world, please let it be all fine.

    A grin made its way onto Lijah’s face as I blushed furiously and smacked his hand away from my gloved one. Though I didn’t need this much packing, Elijah insisted on covering me from head to toe as he didn’t want to take any chance of me getting sick. I was wearing two shirts with a warm sweater and then a trench coat with dark blue jeans and ankle boots while he himself only had a woolen jumper with a coat. “Wouldn’t you get sick? You should wear the muffler” And with that he grabbed the muffler and wrapped it around my neck while I looked at him with disbelief. “Are you serious” He just grinned tucking the muffler tighter. “I don’t get cold”, He shrugged as if he had some superpowers, but he isn’t Elsa. “Nuh uh mister, wear the muffler or else I will remove everything”, I demanded as I crossed my arms giving him a stern look. He grins at me again before pinching my nose and wearing the muffler. “Are you trying to threaten, Angel?” He teased me while I tried to control

    My head whipped to the side at the impact of my mother backhanding me with full force. I fell onto the floor in a daze, clutching my throbbing cheek with wide eyes. This wasn't real. No. "You nasty bitch! Did you think it was over?! You deserve this, I should've killed you when I had the chance", She spat out every word like it was poison, making me tremble and shiver at her intense glare. I screamed as she mercilessly started to throw punches and kicks all over my bruised body, adding more to the collection. Tears fell continuously burning my eyes. Sobs and hiccups being the only thing escaping my mouth. "T..o..p, pl- stop", I whimpered out weakly making her give me a look full of disgust and fury. "You are weak and pathetic!", She sneered at me, holding my forearm tightly in a death grip. My lip quivered and beads of sweat and blood rolled from my head down my weak body. I was truly pathetic. Another sob escaped my mouth and she instantly disappeared. Scenarios changed, and I

    "Where's Nate?", Elijah asked me as he dried his wet hair with a towel. I swung my legs back and forth in the air as I played with my apple phone."He had a date with Evie, so he left early in the morning", I felt guilty of crying and thinking they forgot about me. Elijah was arrested and Nate deserved to have his day after 3 weeks of continuous hangouts. It was all fine now though. The crying made my face glow.Elijah furrowed his eyebrows then shrugged throwing the towel on his chair than sitting on his favorite spot on the window sill. My eyes zeroed on his beautiful light hazel eyes that looked almost golden as the setting sun reflected on his eyes creating hues to gold and brown, his wet hair almost falling over his eyes as he ran his tongue over his lips. He looked calm and peaceful. He leaned on the wall using his hands as his pillow and I stared shamelessly at his bulging muscles and huge biceps, the protruding veins, and sharp

    "All hail the monopoly Queen", West and Seb bowed down while Jordan fanned me with a notebook, and Ashton and Chase held the chair on which I was sitting in the air. I giggled loudly as West brought a paper crown on top of a cushion, and sat down on one knee holding the cushion up in his arm.I laughed loudly clutching my stomach. My face was flushed but thanks to the air conditioning in here, I wasn't sweating at all. It was 4 pm right now with still no sight of Elijah. I shrugged it off focusing on enjoying the moment. Jordan bowed. before placing the crown on my head and I raised my nose in the air and putting my hand up in the air."Stand up peasants", Jordan and Ashton chuckled while the rest pouted before standing up. Ashton and Chase placed the chair down and I giggled.If you're wondering what is going on, I won the intense game of almost 4 hours and Chase came second with Sebastian being the loser. H

    I woke up confused. Where the heck in crusty tomato am I? My neck ached and I let out a moan of pain, as I stretched my arms behind my back and rubbed my neck to soothe the slight strain and ache.Groggily looking around, I blinked to clear my hazy disoriented vision to see I had slept on the floor, the book I was reading last night still in my hand, and no sign of Elijah. I glanced at the alarm clock and my eyes widen when I saw it was 11 in the morning. Omg!I need to get to Nate. I stood up hurriedly bit caring about my messy appearance as I ran outside of my room towards Nate's room, occasionally waving and greeting a couple of my acquaintances. I have made quite a few friends if I say so myself, I didn't help them with work, and being nice would result in so many friends. Of course, I was happy."Be careful, Alara", Jake shouted with a smile as I ran past him and I gave him a small grin and thumbs up. I

    I squealed in pain as Nate roughly dragged the brush through the tangled mess in my hair."Nate! Be careful", I whined at him, scolding him. It was Friday night and I just came back after taking a shower when Nate popped up in my room asking if he could make my hair because he was bored, I being the nice and kind person I am let him but I didn't know he was this ruthless.Elijah was nowhere in sight, I bet he was where he has been disappearing off to in late nights, I was curious but I kept it in check, he already has told me so much I didn't want to come across as clingy." Owwww!", I yelped again and he let out a quick 'sorry'."It's not my fault, it's the brush's fault!", He said defensively, throwing his hands up in the air."I was just looking to play with your pretty long hair, I didn't know I had to untangle this whole mess", He threw the brush on t
