Chapter 9
I stood in My room, arguing with Elijah.
"No, I'll sleep on the floor." I tell him.
"I'm not gonna let you sleep on the floor." Elijah rebels.
"You have to drive tomorrow, You should sleep on the bed." I gesture at my bed. We had been fighting about this for 5 minutes.
"What if we both sleep on the bed?" He said quickly. We both fell silent.
"Yeah okay." I shrug. I climbed into my bed and Elijah climbed In next to me (we were already ready for bed) I turned on my right side, away from Elijah but soon enough I felt his arms wrap around my waist and pull me to him. I could feel his chest up against my back as I slowly fell asleep to the rhythms of our breathing.
I was woken up by the sound of Elijah blowing in my ear. I moved my head away from him and stared daggers at him. Him and his cheeky smile.
"It was funny!" He laughs.
"Come here." I say, waving his over with my hand. I leaned in and I leaned into his ear. And I whistled. I whistled in his ear.
"AH!" He exclaims, moving away quickly. We both started to laugh die to the fact that when he did that he actually sounded like a crow. There was a knock on my door and I stood up and answered it. My mom stood at my doorway.
"Sweetie, We need to talk."
"Okay?" I look back at Elijah who just sat in my bed. I went into the hall to talk to my mom.
"You can't date Elijah." She says bluntly.
"Wha- Why not?!"
"He is the son of my Mortal enemy, Lisa Stroh Or Best now."
"For one, Why would I care, and two you can't just do that!" I exclaim. "How do you even know that?" I ask, shifting my weight to my right leg and crossing my arms.
"Facebook." She replies, "and I can do that!"
"I'm 19! I turn 20 In May!" (If ur B-day isn't in May just go with it)
"You Can't date him!"
"Okay, I'm not breaking up with him just because of some stupid feud from Like 20 years ago!" I exclaim.
"Plus, Your Father doesn't like him."
"Wha- Why?!"
"He's not even really a man-"
"F*ck Toxic Masculinity!" I exclaim but staying quiet so That Jayden didn't hear or something.
"He's not fit for you!"
"He's not fit for me?! What is this?! The stone ages when women married men because they would "protect" them and crap?!"
"Listen-"
"I'm not going to listen!" I exclaim, "He is such a Kind, Compassionate, loving, accepting person!"
"I'm not allowing you to date him!"
"What did His mom even do to you?!"
"She was my best friend and she stabbed me in the back!" My mom exclaims.
"Im not going to Dump him!"
"I forbid you to talk to him!"
"Funny story, He's my roommate!"
"No. You can't date him."
"Oh, I will date him!"
"No! You will not!"
"I will because I Love him!" I exclaim. "Plus You always tell me to follow My heart well My heart is leading me to him!" My mom stayed silent.
"Go to your room." She says.
"I'm 19 not 4!"
"You heard what I F*cking said." She gritted her teeth.
"UGH!" I scream and storm off to my room. Elijah was still sitting my my bed. I slammed my door behind me. He jumped and stared at me wide eyed. I angrily paced back and fourth in front of my bed. I occasionally threw a pillow or pencil onto the ground.
"I've never seen you mad and I'm kids concerned about My personal safety." Elijah voiced. I turn to him.
"I know I know. Sorry it's Just- UGH!" I yell.
"Hey hey, Just tell me what happened." Elijah soothes.
"Apparently Your mom Bck stabbed my mom in Highschool and Now My mom isn't allowing me to date you!" I exclaim.
"Are you breaking up with me? Because of so I can wait for yo-"
"No I'm not gonna dump you." I sigh.
"Okay Okay. We can get through this." Elijah sighs. I jumped onto the bed next to him.
"I know." I mutter. I suddenly sat bolt upright. "You wanna sneak out?" I turn to The Brunette.
"Wha-"
"My mom probably doesn't want to see you plus she told me to "go to my room" so let's just sneak out." I give him a mischievous grin.
"Who are you and what did you do with YN."
"It's me, I promise. Must Be Queens getting back to me." I grin. I got dressed in the hall bathroom and came back to my room and Elijah was fully dressed as well. I grabbed his hand and opened the window. I climbed out onto the fire escape. I climbed the lesser quickly, the motion was muscle memory. We found ourselves on the roof. I ran to the corner to find the long, Sturdy wooden board that Peter and I always would use to cross this Alleyway. I moved the 6 inch thick board across the Alley. I turned to see Elijah staring at me as if I Was crazy.
"Come on!" I laugh, "You a chump?" I stepped out onto the board as walked across effortlessly as the wood bent slightly under my weight. I stood on the roof of the next apartment building. Elijah was still on the other side, Baffled. "It's simple, Just walk across it. Easy as that." I call. He stepped uneasily into the board with his right foot, his left foot slowly after.
"What if I fall?" He asks, his voice shaky.
"You won't!" I laugh. He quickly walked along the board, wobbling a little bit. He stepped onto the roof and fell forwards into me.
"Never again." He sighs. I laugh as I grab his hand and pull him to the edge of the roof. The last rooftop was just a foot jump away. I ran and jumped. "This is a new Side of you and I don't know what to think." Elijah gulps. He jumped over, hating every bit of it. I could tell. I pulled him behind this one pillar and I was shocked to find someone behind it.
"Peter?!"
