Chapter 22

I opened my eyes to see that i was still lying on the sofa, under the blanket. I sighed and was about to get up when i saw Elliot flopped fast asleep on the floor. I smiled faintly before getting up and going over to him. I got down on the floor next to him and gently lay the blanket over both of us, he woke up and realised it was me before wrapping his arms around me and holding me close as i rested my head on his chest.

"im sorry Ellie, i really am, i know what it meant and i just want you to know i'll always be here for you and that i'm never going to give up on you, even if you have, i'll keep on fighting"

I nodded slowly and buried further into him, he held me close and kissed my head every now and again.

"if you dont want to go to school either i totally understand and im willing to stay here with you"

i shook my head

"no i can handle it"

he pulled away and gave me the 'really?' look, i paused and looked down

"ok so maybe i cant handle it, im sure the school wont mind if i take a day or two off"

he shook his head and pulled me closer, kissing my head gently

"course they wont, i'll tell them and they'll be fine with it, i promise"

I nodded into him and we just layed there for ages wrapped in each others arms. An hour soon passed and we were still lying there in silence, i'd honestly never felt safer being wrapped in his arms

"i spy with my little eye..." Elliot started, i looked up at him and he shrugged slightly "takes the time away"

I nodded slowly and leant back down on his chest as he carried on

"anyway i spy with my little eye something beginning with T"

"TV?"

"nerd."

I laughed and he pulled me closer

"now theres the beautiful laugh i've missed"

I smiled and looked up at him

"and theres the beautiful smile to go with it"

I reached up and gave him a gentle kiss, he kissed me back and i slowly pulled away

"i heard what you said last night"

his cheeks went redder, i laughed and gave him another kiss

"its just makes me love you more"

he smiled and kissed me again. For the next few minutes his lips were on mine, where they belonged. I soon pulled away and looked up

"you hungry?"

he shook his head

"not really, you?"

I shook mine

"no, more i spy?"

"sounds good to me"

and with that my head returned to his chest and we continued to play I Spy, just to take the time away.

The day went by quickly and Elliot had to go home quickly to get some stuff which would allow him to stay for 2 nights. For 2 days Elliot stayed by my side, helping me through the hardest time I've ever been through. He made me dinner, ran my baths, snuggled up to me to watch film after film after film. It was our last day together when my cousin decided to make an unexpected visit.
