Thirteen
"We just need to track the helicopter."
"I think we should find out what Ella knows first."
"Look- I understand that you want to catch Kade, and end this mess, but she needs rest right now."
"What do you know about her? Aren't you just the old villains assistant? Aren't you just the one who sits there, and listens to what Kenny tells you?"
"I regret ever helping him, okay? But right now I'm helping you to put a stop to my brother."
I fluttered my eyes, until they opened completely. I laid there listening to the faint whispers I could hear from the room I was in.
It wasn't a hospital room- but the room of the hotel we were staying in. The area was dark, but my door was cracked revealing a small bit of light.
"How do we know you're not helping this brother out too? For all we know, you could be lying to take us down instead."
"Can you stop? That's not what's happening at all. I'm here to help you, and you guys only. Now- can we get back to our planning?"
"Whatever."
I could easily make out who the conversation was between. After that last 'whatever', I knew one person was Will. The other was Kory, because I know his calm voice.
I stood up slowly, and walked over to the crack in my door. I looked through it to see Will and Kory standing over a map on the kitchen counter.
"Knowing my brother, he probably went somewhere a bit closer to the crime scene."
"Please. Wouldn't you go farther?"
"Normally, yes. But if you think like Kade, he'd go somewhere where the police have already searched."
"I can have Britain do a search for abandoned places close to the crime scene."
"That's exactly what I was thinking. Is there a way we can get that by tomorrow morning?"
"I'll get him started on it as soon as he wakes up from his nap."
"Good. Hey- I have to run some errands. You take care of the sleeping beauty in there."
"Sure."
I watched as Kory left the hotel room with a small smile. 'Sleeping Beauty'.
As much as I didn't want to face Will, I'd have to sooner or later. I don't understand how I was so worried about finding him, and how I risked my life to save him- yet I still can't talk to him.
I know for a fact that I love him with all of my heart, but I just don't see us being together right now. Especially not after what happened.
I leaned over a bit to watch Will as he poured himself a glass of whiskey. Eventually he went to far that I couldn't see him anymore from this small crack. I leaned over just a bit more and-
"Oh my god!" I whisper-yelled as I fell through the door opening, and landed on my hands and knees.
"Ella, are you okay!" Will left his glass, and ran over to help me up.
"I'm fine." I muttered, shooing him away and standing up on my own.
"Ella, can we talk?" He asked, looking down.
I grabbed his glass of whiskey and took a long sip, "About what?"
"Us." He responded, causing there to be a silence. I took his glass in one hand, and walked out onto the balcony. I looked over at the beautiful lights that lit up the dark, purple sky.
"What is there even to say?" I asked, taking another sip.
"Ella- I was stupid, and a dick. I swear to god, I don't know why it happened or what even came over me. To be honest, that whole moment seems kind of fuzzy, but that's no excuse for why it happened."
A small tear rolled down my cheek. Was I really ready to hear all of this? I purposely hid my face from him. I didn't want him to see me this way- not at a time like this.
"I was thinking while Kade had me, and I know now. I know for a fact that I love you with everything I have. You've always been the one that I've loved ell-"
"Then why did you think it was okay to go and sleep with some other girl!" I yelled, "Especially your ex Will."
"I never thought it was going to happen. All I remember was that we were sitting on the couch working, and next thing I know, you're there. I honestly don't even remember how it led to that. But I'm sorry, and I've never been so sorry about something in my entire life."
"Sorry is just not enough." I began to sniffle, trying to hold all of my tears in, "You really hurt me Will- and of course, I still have to love you. Even after everything that's happened, and everything that's been done-"
"Then take me back, Ella. Let me start over- let me show you that I'm not what you saw that one day."
At this point, I couldn't hold them in anymore. All of my tears poured out of me like i was Niagara falls for the night.
"Do you not understand? We can't be together. Definitely not now, and I don't know about ever. You killed me when I saw you that way with her! I'm pretty sure I died inside." I squatted down, and held the railing as I cried as much as I could, "Just- No."
"Ella, please? I've never cared so much about someone before. You know me, I'm a heartless bastard." He shook his head, and avoided eye-contact as I turned around to face him.
I wiped all of my tears off my face, and stood up again, straightening my clothes, "Well If this is how you treat the people you 'care' about, I don't want to be one of them."
I handed him his empty glass of whiskey before leaving not only the balcony- but the hotel room as well.
I went downstairs to the lobby to call a cab to take me to the airport. They seem to have the mission down, so I'm going to leave, and go back to the agency. There's no way I could work with Will anymore. Not when we're like this. It would be too distracting, and-
I ran into the chest of someone walking in the opposite direction of me.
"Oh, I'm so-" I looked up to see Kory who was smiling until he saw my face, "Kory? I thought you left."
"Ahh, so you were listening." He shook his head, "I forgot my wallet- but why are you crying again? I thought we were over this."
I just shook my head. It really wasn't something I wanted to discuss right now.
Kory grabbed my hand, and pulled me over to the sitting area in the lobby. He sat us both down right next to each other.
"I know you may not want to talk about it, but you have to. It's the only way you can feel better." He said, rubbing my back.
"Will and I had a conversation about our relationship and-" I shook my head unable to continue my sentence. One, single tear dripped off my eyes, and hit my wrist.
"Ella, you have to stop letting him do this to you. I know it's probably not intentional, but still. Maybe it's best if you stay at my place tonight." He suggested with me following with a nod.
"Thanks Kory, I just- I don't understand why I have to still be this way towards him, even though i know he's hurt me so much. It doesn't make sense and I can-"
Kory's lips pressed against mine, cutting my words off. My eyes widened because I was so shocked. It wasn't a long kiss, just a small peck on the lips but- why didn't I stop it?
"I know it probably wasn't the best timing." He said, right as he pulled away, "But it's something I've wanted to do for a very long time- and it even got you to stop crying."
He wiped the few tears off of my face, "I'm going to get my wallet, but when I come back we'll go to my place."
I nodded still in my shocked state of mind, and watched him disappear. When I was sure he was gone, a small smile appeared on my face. I touched my lips, and began to think about Kory and how perfect he really was.
But that's when Will popped into my head again. I still love Will, I know I do. And in sure Kory knows too judging by how I react to everything Will does, but I still can't help but feel happy that Kory kissed me.
I love Will, but could I possibly like Kory?
