A/N: Hy! So someone brought it to my attention that I have repeated two chapters because of that I have made some changes. Before reading this chapter kindly go back and reread the previous chapter. The current title is have got you. If you can't see just clear cache at settings. Thank you!
Alyssa felt her heart start racing as she gazed at him. Her eyes threatened to flicker down to his lips, but she stopped herself.
She couldn't do that. She couldn't cross that line. She was just feeling lonely.
"Thank you," she told him.
Elias smiled at her.
"You don't have to thank me. I owe you," he told her. "I hate how I hurt you."
Alyssa shook her head, not wanting to get into their past. They had grown up a lot since then. They both took the paths that they were meant to take, so it wasn't anyone's fault.
"That's in the past. Let's just focus on surviving for the future," she said with a hint of a smile.
