Can't Hate You

Cotton candy

Elijah

I didn't let her hand go. They did everything they had to do and left. We carried her in my bed and I put her a sweatshirt of mine on which was too big again. I just loved it when she was wearing my clothes.. And on the other day Josh told me he would come over. I was sitting next to her and praying that she would wake up soon. I couldn't understand why it was taking so long and I was getting impatient.

I didn't leave her side. Her wounds were my wounds. I felt every little piece in my own body.

I needed to stop for a second because I realized how much I really loved her. I never thought somebody could matter to so much to me in such a short time. When I looked at her I felt better no matter what happened. I just needed this girl in my life. It would be worthless without her.

She showed me how to love without even trying... I though I wouldn't have a heart because I never cared about anything.. didn't even think of love or thought of being kind or anything... that was true.. she was my heart. I never had one until I met her. She was my heart in person and my sun. There wouldn't be a life without her. I couldn't help but smile. I held her hand tighter and fell asleep because I didn't close my eyes since she fainted. It was important for me because I promised myself that I wouldn't leave her alone again.

I promised myself to love her forever. No matter what would happen between or around us.

I wouldn't take my eyes from her. My fear of losing her was so big... that something could happen to her again.. killed me.

Josh

When I arrived Miranda let me in. Everyone was sad and quiet. I could already imagine how angry and sad Elijah was. It was the first time I.. let me say 'we' saw him loving.

Even if he was cold and heartless, he would give his own life for her and that was something I was really looking up to. That's the moon and sun thing. And even if she was younger than us and underage, she was loving him so much that she would do everything for him. She was ready to keep up with all this s**t only for him..

She knew what we were doing and instead of freaking out or running to the police she helped us. She loved him no matter what. They were the perfect fit. My car was full of her blood but f**k the car. I wouldn't even mind if it was damaged when the queen of my brother was almost dying.

So I walked upstairs to his room. I softly knocked on the door and walked in when I didn't get an answer. What I saw was literally perfect. She was laying on his bed and he was holding her hand asleep too. I could see how exhausted he was. I slowly walked over to him and tried to wake him up.

"Elijah.. bro." I put my hand onto his shoulder.

"Wake up dude.."

He sighed and tried to open his eyes. He looked at her instead of me.

Then he rubbed his eyes and took a deep breath. He let her hand go and stood up.

We walked out to the front door.

It wasn't only one dream.. the second one was the most beautiful I've ever had.

We were on the beach and he was carrying me on his arms and spinning me around which made me laugh a lot and I could actually feel that happiness. I screamed still laughing when he fell down on his knees but didn't let me go or fall. He was out of breath while I was still laughing. I was so happy. Being with him again was more than a beautiful dream.

"I thought... I lost you.." he said. I smiled and my grip around his neck tightened.

"You'll never loose me moon. But I thought that I lost you."

He smiled in pain. "You'll never loose me either."

I leaned my head against his chest. That reminded me of something.

"Elijah my heart is beating for only you."

He kissed my head.

"But my heart isn't beating for you... it's racing every time I see you, it stops beating when I see that you don't feel good. My chest is going up and down faster than a roller coaster when you look into my eyes or touch me."

I hugged him very tightly feeling the warmth of his words... My love for him was endless. "Promise me that you'll love me forever and that you'll never let me go."

I looked at him very worried.

"I already did."

Elijah

"How do you feel bro?"

How should I explain it to him?

"Like a mess." that was on point.

"She didn't wake up yet, right?" I looked at the ground. "No she didn't. But Miranda said it would be normal."

"Bro I'm so sorry, I really don't know how to help you."

"Well I know how.."

He raised a brow and listened.

"I want every single one of them.. I want to kill them with my own hands. Especially the one who hit her."

His jaw dropped.

"Wait. They hit her?" I nodded and ran my hand trough my hair aggressively.

"Dude I swear you can call me son of a b***h if I don't kill them all."

I smiled. What a bro.

"They don't even know who they're messing with.. but I'll show them."

He sighed. "Bro I really never thought that you would.. love someone.. like you even hated the word 'love'." I smiled with a soft smirk.

"I'll explain it bro." I looked outside of the window.

"I hated love because I never felt or saw it. I always thought that it was irrelevant. I was just a stubborn person and she.. she is love. She came in my life and showed me herself."

He looked at me eyes widened with a big smile.

"I could listen to you all day talking about her.."

I laughed.

"I just love it when she gets exited about little things. For example.. we went out to eat ice cream and she was laughing all the time because the sprinkles looked so cute.. then we saw a man who was selling cotton candy and she was so excited.. just like a little kid... I love it when she's happy like that." he was listening and I could see that he liked it.

"And when we're arguing.. she acts like she's pissed but I always catch her staring and smiling at me. She doesn't know that. Sometimes when I get angry and raise my voice at her, she looks sad like a baby... but she never gives up on me and she never hates me for that no matter how difficult I am. She knows me so well without even knowing it.."

The day on which we went out to eat ice cream... I was so happy because he made me laugh all the time. He put the ice cream all over his lips and kissed me. That was.. weird but very funny and tasty. I was asking myself if he was aware of how funny he was..

He sneezed and he hated sneezing. When he told me that I had to laugh even more. I had to laugh about how pissed he was because he sneezed and his nose was red. He hated the sound of it and how stupid it looked. I couldn't understand how someone could hate sneezing. He was so weird sometimes that it was funny again.

He acted like he was cold like always but I knew that he loved me. He doesn't know that. Especially as we saw the man who was selling cotton candy.

I looked at him totally excited and he smirked. I was literally shaking and jumping up like a kid. I knew that he liked that. He loved seeing me happy.

"Elijah I want cotton candy!"

He interlocked his hand with mine and bought me some. As I saw that he just bought some for me I got angry at him. "Don't tell me you don't like cotton candy!" he scratched his chin. "I do but it's too sticky." I rolled my eyes.

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah?! After eating cotton candy your hands are sticky, your mouth is sticky, you have some of it on your shirt and somehow it melts immediately.“

"Open your mouth and close your eyes." I said, not giving him the opportunity to speak out more facts. He raised a brow because it sounded weird but did what I said. Then I put a little streak of the cotton candy in his mouth -onto his tongue- without messing up.

"Open your eyes." he opened his eyes and tasted it even tho it almost melted away.. "Look! You didn't even notice it! From now on I'll do that for you. Doesn't matter if my hands get sticky as long as you enjoy it." I smiled and he smiled too... his smile... was something so pure.. I've never seen before..

Elijah

I took a deep breath.

He put his hand onto my shoulder.

"I'm glad that you're happy bro."

"I hope that you'll find your love too.."

"I will.."
