(1 week later, Elijah's Birthday)

I wake up in his arms. I really got a lot of calls... Mostly from my brothers asking if I REALLY want to do this. I've already asked Kaya to be my maid of honour for the wedding so she'll be arriving in 2 weeks or so. I really can't believe we've been doing this for a week already. Today is Elijah's birthday. I bought him the car he had wanted for a few months, the Aston Martin DBS superleggera 007 edition. It cost a bunch of money so I really hope he likes it. More like he better like it or I'll hunt him down

I sit up and groan. Both our families are having dinner together tonight. I don't know how this will turn out.

"You up?" Elijah says.

"Yes, happy 18th birthday" I say and go to kiss him. " Soooo... what did you get me?" He asks.

"Get dressed and I'll show you before breakfast." I said. I've never seen him get up this fast, he usually uses half an hour just to get the courage to get up from bed. This time it only took a few seconds. I go to get dressed as well.

After 10 minutes we were both done.

"Comon, tell me?!" He said. "Follow me" I said. I got him to follow me outside where the car stood with an overly large ribbon on. He gasped. Jen and Isak came outside now. I didn't tell them I was buying him a car so they looked really surprised.



Elijah ran to the car and sat inside it. He acted like a little child. I followed him and sat in the passenger seat. "Fucking sick" He says. "Want to take it for a test drive?" I asked.

"Do you even have to ask?" He says. We drove for 20 minutes before coming back to the estate.

We got out of the car and Elijah went over to me and kissed me. "You know why I love you?" He asks.

"Maybe because I'm just perfect and successful in every area." I say sarcastically while smiling at him.

"Yeah, sure that sounds better then what I was going to say." He says.

"Wait what? What were you going to say?!" I ask, practically yelling at him.

"No nothing, don't worry about it" He says. " DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT? You made me worry about it," I said.

"Well, stop that," He says. "Egghead" I whisper under my breath.

(6pm)

We are about to get changed into our clothes for the awful dinner when Elijah says "My family will knock out at least three guards tonight."

"Alright, I haven't known my family for that long but they are definitely more badass than yours." I say.

"Wanna bet on that?" He says. " Sure, how does a thousand bucks sound?" I ask. I'm a millionaire anyway so a thousand bucks isn't a lot at all.

"You're on," He looks determined that his family will cause the most trouble.

We get changed and go downstairs to the cars. Jen and Isak are already standing there waiting for us. There are 5 guards standing around them. I guess they will come as well. Isak and Jen go into a Mercedes, and all the guards walk over to a black van.



Elijah grabs my hand and pulls me towards the Aston Martin I bought for him. He opens the passenger door and I go in. I reach for the seat belt but Elijah takes it first and leans into the car and puts the seat belt on. "I can do that myself you know, I'm not that incompetant" I say.

"I know" he says and places his lips on mine. It came as an absolute surprise, you know, not a bad surprise though. I placed my hands on his jaw. It was a good 10 seconds before we stopped.

Elijah backed out and went to the driver's seat. We drove off to the restaurant. Isak and Jen were right behind us and the guards were behind them again.

When we got to the restaurant I saw that there were a lot of cars, our families are really big. They had to book out the whole restaurant just for this, a birthday but it serves a bit like an engagement party as well i guess.

I grab Elijah's hand and we walk in. It's packed. There is a table in the middle of the restaurant where my father and brothers were sitting. My brothers were staring at Elijah with stern, judging eyes. Wow it's no big deal, how can they be this overprotective. I didn't know that was possible.

We sit down at the table. The bodyguards are standing uncomfortably close to the table. We get our first meal served to us. Then I hear... "HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT ME?!" It was Isak. He punched the bodyguard, it was one of his own. Now I know why they took five with them.

The guard fell to the ground. Elijah sat there smirking at me and saying "One down, two to go"

I started to giggle. He really wasn't joking.

After we were done eating our first meal I was already pretty full. After just 10 minutes the main meal was served. I couldn't eat a lot, but I still ate a bit and chugged the wine.

I started to feel a bit nauseous. "I'm going to the restroom" I say and rise from my seat.

When I got inside the bathroom. I feel like I'm going to puke. I cover my mouth with my hand. But I cough. I look down at my hand. BLOOD?! I keep coughing and it gets all over me and the floor.

Just then I see two of the waiters come in. "Help me!" I say.

"It'll be over soon" They say. They approach me with smirks on their faces. I feel a poke in my neck. A syringe!

I faint-
