Chapter 64 Worst thing

Chapter 64 Worst thing
Landon…
“You are not leaving until we talk about it Landon.”
“You are kidnapping me.” I asked.

A wave of announce washed over me, maybe I should have handled it better but I was upset and I did not want to be like my Dad, I would rather be silent then say something I can’t take back.

“I’m sorry, I lied, to be honest I wanted to tell you, I was worried, I was also scared.”

“Scared of what Elara, this is the greatest news ever.” I breathed out, “you are graduating early, you get to fulfill your dream, faster.”

“I know, I never wanted this, my parents, they told me I would be graduating early when we went to Vermont, they took me to a fucking medical school, and suggested that’s where my whole life will be, they spoke to principal Heather behind my back an had everything prepared, I know I messed up, I know I should have told you, I guess I was still trying to accept the fact that, I left my parents, I would be graduating and I don’t even know if I will win, if I don’t win, everything is over, I will be broken, I know it has nothing to do with the truth but.”

“You will win, but you lied Elara.” I breathed out.
Fuck, maybe I should be easy on her, I hid some things too, like Vermont.

“I am leaving for Vermont after school, I already accepted the scholarship, all I need is to get my scores and win the championship.”

My eyes softly met hers, she didn’t look mad instead she smiled at me.

“I’m happy for you.”

“No don’t do that, be mad at me, be mad I hid the truth and I am here angry at you for doing the same, be mad that I made the decision a long time ago and I didn’t even tell you.”

Elara shakes her head, she takes a step further toward me, her eyes were softly on mine as she stared at me.

“Vermont.”

“I want to be away from my dad, away from his footsteps and I want to create a name for me, I want to have something of my own, that I got without his influence and Vermont is one of them, they want me for me not because I am Hayes son, not because I am Mason’s brother, but because I am me, because I am good, and I’m sorry, I should have handled this better, I was shocked when I found out.”

“I thought I was going to lose you.” She breathed out.

She will never lose me.

“We agree this fight is stupid.” Elara asked and I chuckled, it was. “So Vermont.” She asked, I held her hand leading her to the couch, she has ruin every girl for me, before I came here, before I got the call, I was upset. I made up my mind not to speak to her for the whole day, all it took was for Clara to get me running here and when I got there, I was torn between anger and relief.

I felt better that nothing happened to her, but mad that Clara made that call, now I didn’t feel anything apart from the fact, I feel stupid for being upset.

“Vermont is a good place.” Elara mumbled. “It’s cold and I know they have a great arts program there.” She said.

“You don’t, I know what you are trying to say. This is not a decision for you to make just like that, you can’t say that because you want me to forgive you.”
“I’m not saying it, because I want your forgiveness Landon and Fyi you already forgave me.” She
smiled. “I left my home, I may never see my parents again, I know my mom, she will die before she contact me unless my father asks her talk and I know my father, he will never.”

“You are not okay with it.”

“I’m not but what choice do I have? I don’t have any. It’s either that or give up my dream, I can’t give up my dream.” She said, my eyes softened.

“If it makes you any better, my Dad will never speak to me, and my mom will try to speak to me, but Dad will be filled with anger even if I make it.” I mumbled.

We are two broken souls

“We need each other Landon, I am going to take Vermont, accept your scholarship when I win.” My eyes darted to hers, “I will win.” She rephrased and I smiled. “I’m not doing it for you, I just think Vermont is a good place, we had one of our best times together there and we would be happy Landon, and Clara, Paul and Nathan will come there after a year, I am sure as hell you won’t be the only one there.”

“We can live together.” I said and her eyes widened in surprise.

That was too soon

Too much.

“Okay, you can live on campus, and I will find a house, I do think it’s a waste of time, because you will be spending all of your time in my home.”

“Do you think this will work?” She asked and I smiled.

I hav never been so certain of anything not even this competition.

Elara and I understand each other, we make each other happy and not only that, I know we are still young, we are going to go through many changes but I have a feeling we can make this work, I know I will do just about anything to make sure it works

“Clara will be out of her mind when she finds out what we decided.” She smiled. “We are really doing this. I know I am not going to regret it, this is the best decision we could make.”

“ I think we should not tell anyone until, you win and accept it, I’m not saying I don’t trust your friends, I just think, it’s better that way, we can always tell them later.” I added.

She smiled

Wha she didn’t know was that, on our prom night, I will be making our relationship official to the world, I don’t care if my Dad gets mad, by then we will win, she will win, and he will know about Vermont, I was certain he will kick me out that night, I already made plans for it.

I have my bags packed, I have money stocked up away and I have my passport away and stored somewhere else, I know the first thing he will do is find my passport and make sure I have no way of leaving

Fuck.

“Are we still on lockdown.” I asked and she smiled at me. “I have a few ideas of what we can do to pass time, I can actually think of ways you will enjoy it too.”

She rolled her eyes at me.

“No we can leave anytime we want and I promise Clara we would not be having sex in her living room.”

“Wanna have sex in mine.” I asked and she blushed, her eyes sparkled with love, the words were at the tip of my lips, that’s one more thing to keep for our prom night.

I love Elara, I will do anything for her, I will make sure she is always safe and happy, she will never have to remember how horrible her parents were.
Elara and I settled on the couch, despite the bulge pressing against my trouser, I didn’t do anything, instead I pulled her toward me, her hair had the most rosy scent, I leaned in and sniffed in like a dog.

I imagined forever with her.

—-
“No sex in the kitchen.” Clara yelled from the living room, she joined us for a movie after ten minutes, that was before she became so dramatic before she walked into the room.

Clara was far better than what Javier told all of about, she didn’t seem like the horrible person he said she is, she didn’t seem difficult, she didn’t seem like she could even hurt a bird.

I am going to need her help to plan Elara’s perfect prom.

“We are making food.” Elara yelled. “What are you making?” She asked.

“Grilled cheese and tomato soup, but the tomato soup has chucks of bacon and it’s spicy, my mom always makes it.”

“You are hot, you can cook, I am going to be fat when we move to Vermont and it’s all going to be your fault.” She smiled.

“Don’t give me ideas, it’s not the worst thing.” I said and she smiled.

“Come on help me chop the tomatoes, and that’s all, you can join Clara.” I said with a smirk on my face

“And leave you all alone, what will happen to poor you? I’m never going to leave, you may as well get prepared because you will get tired of me.”
