You're My Girl // COMPLETED

chapter 25

Eirins pov

I wake up in Eli's arms, and tear stained cheeks.

My eyes are sore from all the crying that I have done since yesterday.

And today was the day of Max's funeral.

I was to go up and speak to people I don't even know and then watch him get burried into the ground.

My best friend gone because of suicide and it's all my fault.

And he is gonna be gone forever which is even worse.

I look over at Eli, who is sound asleep and breathing softly onto my collarbone.

I smile down at his sleeping beauty and kiss his head repeatedly.

I need a small distraction for a few moments before I have to get up and get ready.

The funeral is at two and it is currently 9:30.

I cuddle Eli and his grip on me tightens.

"Good morning babe."

I smile at his sleepy voice and reply, "Good morning, sleepy baby."

He kisses my lips softly then quickly jumps out of bed.

Yeah ok, someone is hyper.

I sit up and he comes to me, picking me off the bed and hold me in his arms, my legs wrapped around his waist and our noses touching.

I cup his face with my hands and he kisses me more passionately this time, bringing me out of that sad state of mind that I have been in since last week.

His hands hold me up so strongly, as we kiss.

I smile as our lips are touching ever so slightly and he lays me back down on the bed.

He smiles and helps me to my feet.

"You need to start getting ready, babygirl."

I sigh and nod, taking his hands and pulling him towards me one more time for a last kiss.

He lets his lips linger on mine as i hug him.

We release each other and I grab my bag and head to the bathroom.

I start to get ready for this long day, putting on my off-white skin tight dress and a black overcoat.

My black high heels only make me slightly taller as I curl my hair at the ends and am able to put it in a ponytail.

My makeup is a little lighter and gives me that sympathetic feel.

I walk out of the bathroom, odorless and ready for a long day.

After a while, Eli gets done and comes to me before we leave his house.

"You are gonna be just fine baby."

He takes my hands and holds them, then puts on a silly face.

"Are you taller or is that just me?"

I laugh and go one my tippy toes.

"I'm taller! Let me have my moment!"

He laughs and lightens the mood.

I kiss him on the cheek, making my lipgloss get on his cheek.

I giggle at the small lip mark and he curses to himself.

"Babe did you leave a mark on my face?"

"Maybe..." I laugh.

He takes one of my makeup wipes and wipes it off his face.

I laugh a little and he shakes his head.
