Macy and Elijah-Chapter 5
"She's a pretty crazy chick" Eli said as he and Adam watched the horror movie I know what you did Last Summer.
Adam kept his gaze on the television, "Yeah she is", it grew quiet between the two teenage boys until Eli broke the tension, "Ok, what's up with her?"
"What do you mean what's up with her?"
"Come one Adam, both you and I know she's anorexic…and I don't know today in lunch I saw so much pain in her eyes. So what's up with her?" Eli raised an eyebrow at Adam
"Nothing's wrong with her" Adam hissed violently at Eli.
"Woah, Woah…calm down", raising his hands into the air as Adam paused the movie.
"No! I won't calm down" Adam shouted at the top of his lungs, "I already had one person close to me take a girl away, I won't let you do it too"
Adam caught his breath, "Every single girl just falls for you, and they always end up hurt like Clare and Imogen"
Eli's knuckles clenched at the sound of Clare's name.
"I don't care what you do any more, just don't mess with Macy. I haven't felt this way about a girl. I want to protect her, I want to be the first she'll call when everything is going wrong, the person she'll drive insane every day with her crazy stories, the person she'll defend like crazy, but mainly the person she'll truly let in".
Eli was fixed with anger and with sympathy. He never realized that every girl that he had ever liked was taken away by someone close to him. And he'd also lost Clare at the same time Eli had. What angered him more was that it was true, every girl who had gotten close to him had gotten hurt. Clare had gotten fixated by him and Imogen well he had just let her down.
"I won't mess with it" Eli said.
Adam looked at Eli "Thanks but it's not going to work, one way or the other …you're going to mess with it"
"Why would you say that?"
"Because of what happened" Adam replied, Eli was about to ask the obvious question when Adam spoke, "I can't tell you, but she will, and then it'll make sense"
