Elliot Benson POV

He sleeps so peaceful, his body so light laying on mine, I can't help but to stare..... If only he knew, what was in those journals he'd leave in a heart beat, not thinking just wanting to get away. I only wish I can tell him, Julian moves over closer into me making smile. I haven't been this happy in a long time every since he left my life's been off the walls I've been so confused about everything only focusing on fighting.

I get out the bed careful not to wake him, and throw on some sweat pants, some shoes and a shirt. I grab a hoodie than head out, I run every day usually at 7am, taking a route through the trees down a couple of hills than come back around. I love the adrenaline pumping through me it makes me feel more alive than I ever been. I begin running waisting little time, zooming in and out of the woods. After a couple more hours I'm back Julian is up and moving around, making breakfast, I take my hoodie off than come up behind him giving him a hug from behind.

"Hi" I said, kissing his neck.

"Hi" he says back. His heart beat increases steadily. I can hear his phone playing music.

"Dance with me" I say he laughs. The music is Alessia Cara, Here.

"I don't know how" he says lying.

"Mmhm" I mumbled. Swaying his hips to the beat.

Julian's POV

Elliot and I begin dancing around the treehouse and he's really good, and I can actually keep up. We dance for the entire song and another one, I can't help but never wanting to stop.
He's a amazing dancer, he makes me feel so alive.

"I thought you said you didn't know how" mumbled Elli into my neck. I smiled embarrassed.

"Maybe I do" I said he lifted me up popping me into a small jump.

"Quite the dancer aren't we" I said he gave a devilish smirk.

"Only for you lovely" he said. I laughed he's charmer.

We ate breakfast raw deer meat, which wasn't half bad, it made me feel six times stronger. Our eyes never stopped glowing the more together we were the more powerful our bond got stronger. We went for runs throughout the day. In since than I haven't had time to eat at all.

Elliot walks me home, the last place I wanted to be. I go inside and he follows, my mom, dad, Kat and Cole sitting on the coach quietly. I look over at Elliot and immediately already know what's happening.

"Your staying" he said in a deep low tone. Kat gets up first and hugs me, I just stand there until she lets go.

"I miss you, and I am really sorry" she said softly.

"I don't forgive you at all, I was your best friend and you did the most foul and cruel thing any person has ever done. Forgiveness is the last thing on my mind for any of you" I said coldly.

I look at Elliot who seems sad, I grab his hand and pull him into the living room in front of everyone. My parents look at him than me.

"He is my mate, the love of my life my everything and you took him away from me when I was barely 10. I don't know how I can ever forgive you, you caused me pain as a child, by taking away the one person that knows me better than I know myself." I said rudely. My mother wipes away a few stray tears, but I say nothing.

Cole sits quietly debating on rather he wanted to say something while looking down at the carpeted floor. I leave out with Elliot's hand still in mind.
