stop, ever!

 

“Dr. Drake are you in there?” Sebastien’s voice asks knocking on the other side of his door. Pulling away from me, he is lays his forehead on mine, and I thought I was breathing heavily!  “Hello?” He speaks again.

 

“Will he just walk in?” I ask, not wanting to be interrupted. Even though it’s to late he interrupted us already!  He nods, and I growl a swear word. He chuckles quietly.

 

“Here go clean yourself up.” He says, standing up.

 

“You should probably to. You have a little something right here.” I point at the little bit of blood on the corner of his mouth. He just licks it right off. I turn heading towards the bathroom, I turn on the shower and give Elijah a thumbs up. Closing the door, I finally look at my reflection. Holy shit! I’m glowing, my eyes are bright full of color. My cheeks are pink, and I dare to peek at my neck. No holes from fangs, but it does look like a hickey. It must be a mark that shows I was drank from. I have no problems with it, but my parents might if they see it! Fixing my hair and splashing some of the water from the shower on my face, I get calmed down. I don’t even listen to the conversation, I mean, if Sebastien wanted to come and see Dr. Drake it met be because he is a doctor, and I shouldn’t listen in on that. So I just stare at my reflection, loving with being with Elijah is doing to me and what it’s doing to us! After only two minutes I get antsy, and I start listening. Just to see what they’re talking about.

 

“-know. I mean have you tried tell this girl how you feel?”  Elijah replies, I push my ear into the door more what are they talking about? “Yeah, but she said she might like someone else.” Sebastien replies,

 

“I don’t know what to do, you’re an adult what do you think?”  Sebastien asks for advice!  He’s asking about me! I told him I liked a human boy to keep suspicions away fro Elijah. He really doesn’t suspect a thing.

 

“I think, that if you really like Lyra, you need to just get her alone and really ask her. Really talk to her.” Elijah says my name, and I almost walk out of the bathroom. Hello did the two of us not just about have sex there? Why is he telling Sebastien, that he should talk to me alone? What if he tries to make a move on me! What if he like almost rapes me! He wouldn’t do that though.  “I know she has a lot on her plate right now, so she is just confused and doesn’t know what she wants.”

 

“How do you know it’s Lyra?”  Sebastien asks.

 

“You could try a little harder to hide it.”  Elijah replies, and I scoff quietly. More like you read his mind! I think loud hopping he hears! Then Sebastien sighs. “Don’t beat yourself up about it. You’re young. Just remember you’re going to meet a lot of other girls in your life, don’t settle down to soon. “ Elijah adds, I smile. Of course, he says something like that.

 

“There is something about every girl when you’re your age.” Elijah laughs, and I smirk. He asked or it.  “Why don’t you go and try and find her now? I know that after our appointment she wanted to just go to sleep.  So I bet you could  talk to her.” He says. then they say there goodnights, and the door closes. I turn off the shower, opening the door. I stand in the doorway of the bathroom, taping my foot and smirking at him. “Oh shut it!” He says, with a shirt back on.

 

“You want him to talk to me?” I ask, walking over to him and wrapping my arms arm his neck.

 

“I want you to figure out what you want.”  he sighs, kissing my forehead. I drop my arms from him, this is unbelievable. After what just happened he still thinks I’d rather be with Sebastien!

 

“Elijah Drake.  I want you.” I say, walking towards the door. “Now, I’m going to leave. Go talk to Sebastien, since you implied I would be there!” I say.

 

“Good luck, also if you do choose him. Make sure you come back here and give me one more kiss.” He says totally serious. I throw the pillow on his chair at him.

 

“No chance.  I will choose you.” I say then I leave, so he can’t say anything else. Walking off, muttering how dumb he can be, I make my way back to my room.  Rounding the corner to the hospital corridor I ran into Sebastien, no lie,  legit run into him and I fall over.  “Ahh. my ass!” I say, as I stand up.

 

“I think that’s actually your tailbone.” Sebastien says, smiling at me. Reminding me earlier about his smile when he thought he got me in trouble. Little jerk. I give him a quick smirk, then walk around him towards my room. “Oh, come on Lyra. Can we just talk?” He asks, I sigh, following exactly what he was told. Elijah was right when he said I would be tired. All of that almost sex stuff tires you out.  Opening my door for him to come in he thanks me, again I smile. Closing the door, I get down to business.

 

“What?”  I say turning back to him, and he is right there in front of me. Close. Very close.

 

“Lyra, I want to know  the truth. How do you feel about me?” He asks, his eyes never leaving mine. A billion things come to mind to say, some good  and some bad. I want to say you’re a jerk, and I never want to see you again.  I want to say, Sebastien I think you are really cute, and I really like you! I also want to say Sebastien, I’m with Dr. Drake! I have to choose. I can’t choose! If I say the first one, I could lose his friendship forever. If I say the second one, I could lose Elijah (that isn’t happening!). If I say the third one, I could lose him and get in big trouble with me parents, and I have no clue if Elijah even wants people to know yet!    “You haven’t replied yet.” He mentions, I’m killing him here! I don’t know what to say!

 

“Sebastien,  I told you. I … think you’re cute and all.” I say finally. His face drops, he can tell there is a but coming up.  I scratch the back of my neck, now what exactly do I say?

 

“You like the guy who gave you that?” He asks, sounding aggravated, and pointing at my neck. Oh shit my neck! I walk over to my mirror, my mark still there. I wipe my finger a crossed it, feeling two little spots where I’m guessing his teeth punctured my skin. Just thinking about it send shivers done my spine!  “When on earth did you have time to get that?” He asks, “You didn’t have it when you stopped by Chaston’s room, and you said you went straight to Dr. Drake’s place. So where have you been?” He asks.

 

Dr. Drake’s. I think to myself, of course he doesn’t need to know that.

 

“You said he was human. You went back to the human world?” He asks, walking over to me, but not getting as close. I can tell he is having a hard time not staring at the hickey looking mark.

 

“No I didn’t go to the human world.” I reply. Who did I go to then!? Okay, didn’t think this through.

 

“Holy shit it almost looks like a vampire bite.” He notes, really focusing on it now. Oh shit.

 

“Does it really?”  I ask surprised turning around and looking in the mirror. “Vampire bites look like hickeys’?” I ask, and he shrugs his shoulder.

 

“We learned about them in school. Vampire can get people in there lives that are like mates, and when they drink each other blood they are officially bonded, and that’s what the bite marks look like. Wow, it looks just like the photo!” He says.  I move away, no need for him to start thinking about it!

 

“Sebastien!” I say, sitting on my bed. “Point is, I’m sorry I like this other person. Like I said before, you need to wait for a princess!” I smile, and he sighs. He walks over and stands in front of me.

 

“Never forget, I’ll always love you.” He whispers, then kisses my forehead. Then he turns and leaves the room. I shed a couple tears, and I know that I obviously have strong feelings for him. Definitely not as strong as Elijah and me, but there is feelings there.

 

 Okay, now I really don’t want to stay here alone. Elijah, I’ll go back. After I take a quick shower, again I’m a little hot and bothered from earlier! Once I’m done I change again into sweatpants and a tank top,  Looking both ways down the hall, to make sure no one is around, I head out. Quickly making my way back. I slip into his room when I know for sure know one is around, and the shower is running. He must be showering. Understandable,  I showered again.  I slip into under the blankets, to his bed, remembering how tired I am.  I dose off instantly.  The next thing I know, Elijah is laying down with me wrapping an arm around me. He kisses my bare shoulder, and whispers good night to me. I mhhm in reply snuggling into him,  for the warmth and feeling his touch he gives me.

Chapter 20- Chosen Part 2 (Lyra's POV)

I sit up stretching, and looking down at Elijah’s sleeping face. He is so beautiful even in his sleep! I kiss his forehead, which doesn’t wake him up. Then I find a piece of paper and pen, leaving him a note saying that I left just in case anyone comes this morning like they did yesterday. Slipping out, I let out a breath. Walking down the hall, back to my room to get changed, I pass by lots of movers. They’re moving all of out stuff in today! I know what I’ll be doing all day! Following the movers, to my new house, I make it to my room that looks like it has all of my big furniture already set up. My bed, dresser, desk,  t.v stand, and bookcase. I just have to unpack, easy enough. I get to it, starting with all my clothes, hanging some up in the closet and shoving other stuff into drawers.

 

Once I finish there I sort out my movies and books putting them on the book shelf, with one shelf  full of  pictures from my past, and one with Sophie and me. Then  I set up my lamp, and school stuff, and I finish with all the odd and end stuff.  The door to my room opens and it’s one of the movers dropping off another box. Glancing at my clock that I just set up, I almost fall over! I’ve been in here for 3 hours setting up! It feels like five minutes! Taking the box
