Elliot POV
Hazel’s behaviour has changed drastically, and I do not like this. She’s behaving like a petulant child, and I am not going to let her get away with it. She knows we have a job to do. Fuck I know she doesn’t know about my side of the deal, but fuck. I told her I wanted to marry her when we were fucking the other day. I told her in private, without anyone knowing, without anyone watching or hearing us, just the two of us, while we were together, our bodies pressed against each other. I said what I needed to say, and she walks away. She didn’t even reply to my question.
She’s dancing with Ashley, and I notice some blokes looking at them. I touch Killian on the arm, and he gives me a nod. “I saw, mate”, he says in anger. Hazel keeps spinning and moving her hips. Until the bloke does the unthinkable, he puts his fucking filthy hands on her. I am going to fucking break them
Hazel POV“Mom”, I let out as I walk into her room. Her eyes meet mine, and she smiles weakly. I walk to her, letting go of Elliot’s hand. I rush to her. She is sitting on the edge of the bed with her wig on and some light makeup.“Hello, my angel”, she says as I bend over and hug her tightly. She coughs a little, and I let go of her. “Sorry”, I let out shyly, and she waves me off, looking over my shoulder. I spin around to see a petrified Elliot standing near the door with his hands in his pockets as he takes deep breaths. I walk to him, rest my hand on his chest, and his eyes meet mine.“Just breathe”, I whisper, and he nods his head slightly. He raises his eyes to mine, and he nods a little. I take his hand on mine, he is hot and sweaty, and he mouths, and I am sorry when I touch him. I smile and guide him to my mom.“Mom, I would like to introd
Hazel POVI walk down the corridor with tears threatening to spill. “Are you okay?”, I hear someone ask, and I just nod my head without even looking at the person that asked the question. I keep walking until I reach the stairs in the end of the corridor. I open the fire safety doors, and when it bangs behind me, I feel my entire body shaking. My chest is tight, and I sit on the stairs crying. My hands cover my face as I cry like a child that lost their favourite toy.My phone starts ringing in my pocket, but I ignore it. I close my eyes take a deep breath, and focus on my breathing. I can’t believe my entire life revolved around Elliot’s father. They are the reason I had to hide. I had to lose all my friends and spend my life hiding and changing my name. I shake my head. I cover my face with my hands as my phone keeps ringing in my pocket.I
Elliot POV“I hate this place”, I say before we walk into the hospital. Hazel stops in front of me with her hands cradling my face, and she smiles.“You can wait here for me if you like”, She says, and I shake my head. No. I need to fucking grow a pair and follow my woman inside. I can’t just wait for her outside while she goes inside to get her mother. What would her mother think if I didn’t follow her daughter?I take a deep breath, and Hazel kisses me softly before she guides me inside. My hands start to sweat immediately, and she smiles at me, looking over her shoulder as she walks in front of me, holding my hand and guiding me through the sterile corridors.God, I fucking hate this smell. I hate these walls. Hazel walks inside when we reach the room, calling for her mother. Hazel lets go of my hands as she walks to his mother, and I feel like a fucking rich out of the water. I look around, and then my eyes meet the
Hazel POV I open my eyes as soon as I hear the banging on the door. I blink a couple of times, trying to get the headache to stop. I put my foot on the floor and heard a clinking sound. Shit. I get up and rest a hand on the wall to support my weight while I walk down the corridor. I lean against the door to look through the magic eye, and I shake my head before I unlock the door and open it to find Elliot. His hair is messy, and his eyes are red. He looks worried and pissed. He walks inside and pulls me into an embrace. A tight one. I leave my arms hanging as he hugs me, kisses my cheeks, and then my lips. I pull away from him as he looks at me, frowning. “Why are you here? Why is your phone off?”, he asks, and I shrug, walking further into the house and towards my bedroom. I can feel him following me, and it’s like the warmth from his body is trying to find mine. I can smell his expensive aftershave. I flop ba
Hazel POVI look out of the window to see the two men outside; they look massive, both dressed all in black and covered in tattoos. They have been following me around all day when I came to class. I roll my eyes as I watch Elliot walk past them towards the door. Shit. I look at the professor, trying to pay attention to what he is saying, but I can’t focus when all I can think is that Elliot is in the building. I keep looking at the door and at my watch, waiting for him to barge in, but it doesn’t happen. I frown as I look outside again through the window; he is not there, and neither are the two guys.“Hazel? Are we bothering you?”, the professor asks, and I look at him with wide eyes. I shake my head. “Ermm, no, sorry”, I whisper, looking down at my textbook and pretending to underline something. He nods and continues with class. I sure as hell can’t be dealing with this. I grab
Hazel POVAfter dumb one and dumb two left me at home, I sat on the couch just looking at the black screen of the tv. I close my eyes as I place my feet on the coffee table and rest my head back. Images of Angel fighting the guys flash through my mind, and I shake my head standing up and walking to the bathroom. I think a shower will do me good.The steam fills up the bathroom as I stand under the hot water, falling down my back and resting my hands against the cold tile of the shower. I haven’t gotten a new phone since I smashed mine, and I haven’t spoken to Elliot since Christmas Day. Tomorrow is new years eve, and I am here, alone.I finish my shower and wrap a towel around my hair and one around my body before I walk to my bathroom and choose some leggings and an oversize t-shirt. I look at myself in the mirror, and I jump when I hear the landline phone ringing. I frown as I walk to t
Hazel POV“Can I use your shower?”, he asks, and I nod, moving from the door as he walks slowly towards me. I show him to the bathroom, and he walks inside without closing the door. I can hear the water running and the steam leaving the bathroom while I sit on the couch, hugging my legs and waiting for Angel to come out.When he comes out, he just has a towel wrapped around his waist. His broad chest is naked, with water drops running down his body. I move my eyes away as I feel my cheeks burn. He has bruises all over his body and flinches when sitting next to me.“Hazel, I am sorry”, he says, and I nod, avoiding looking at him. This man is a temptation, I am not going to lie, the way he looks at me and the way he touches me makes me think that if I wasn’t so involved with Elliot, he would’ve been a great boyfriend. I shake my head, pushing away those thoughts, and I look him in
Hazel POV“Please come home with me”, Elliot asks me as he pulls me closer to him in bed. We had the most magical night together. The way he touched me and made me feel special was incredible. We made love for the first time, and it wasn’t the all-consuming sex we usually have. It was soft and memorable. He took his time appreciating my body and kissing me from head to toe.“Elliot, we talked about this”, I say, and she closes his eyes, covering them with his arm while I rest my head on his chest. I can hear his fast-beating heart, and I smile as I move my hand up and down his naked stomach. I trail the hair that comes from his chest down to his cock, and I smile as he shivers.“I know we did, but I don’t want you here alone, and I definitely don’t want that bloke sniffing around you”, he says, and I can’t
