Heart to Heart

"I swear if I f*****g see him again I'll tear him limb from limb." Eli practically growled.

I looked up at Eli with a questional look. He was just starting to scare me, Eli. My little nerdy best friend was starting to scare me. He looked at me and Icould see that his eyes had gotten a little darker with rage.

"Eli you are starting to scare me." I muttered.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to that just makes me really angry. How could he do that to you Ruby?"

"He was drunk Eli."

"That's still no excuse. Don't take up for him either. That was low and disgusting." Eli started ranting.

"I wasn't trying to."

"Ruby, do you understand what could've happened?"

I went to answer but he cut me off again.

"Ruby you could have gotten pregnant. Oh God you aren't are you?"

"No Eli i'm not. I was on the pill to regulate my period. He did something worse." I muttered but he heard it.

"What else did he do to you Ruby?" Eli questioned I heard his voice crack a little bit.

"I was a virgin Eli. He took it from me." Tears welled up in my eyes again but I quickly blinked them away.

Eli was silent and mostly not moving. I looked over at him and noticed that his grip on the steering-wheel was so strong that his knuckles where white. I reached over and put my hands on his gently. This is a side of him that I had never seen, I was used to him always smiling and laughing. He was always so outgoing. Not a care in the world. Now the Eli I have looks like he could go and tear Mason limb from limb and not care. Though I could understand why he would be upset, I was his best friend. Of course he would be mad.

Eli threw the truck into park outside of his new house. It was beautiful and just out of city lines. The house wasn't small, nor to big. It looked homely. I could feel a small smile form on my lips for the first time in a week.

"I know that it's not much." Eli started, this time it was my turn to cut him off.

"It's perfect, Eli, It'll be good to get out of the city." I smiled and climbed out of the truck.

Eli smiled softly and we walked towards the house as soon as he grabbed my suitcase. The first scent to hit me was a air freshener. It smelt like cinnamon, my favorite.

Eli cleared his throat and got my attention.

"Your room is down the hall across from mine."

I nodded and followed him down the hall to my room. It was very room and just my taste. I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. He smirked and hugged me back.

"I'm glad that you like it." Eli said.

"I love it." I practically screeched.

"Good! because now you can live here with me."

I laughed a little bit, but even to me it sounded broken.

"Yeah, It'll be just like old imes."

"Yeah, only this time Ruby nothing will hurt you, I can protect you from harm now." Eli said.

"Eli you can't protect me from everything." I said softly as if the words were going to hurt him.

"I know, but I can try." Eli whispered.
