What happens at the mall?

Elijah shows his true colors

You find the guys pretty easily, considering Elijah towers over the crowds. They seem to be waiting for you before they get their food, so you hurry over.

Noah sees you first and rushes over to pull you into a hug. "So glad to see you man." he says, pulling away slightly, "I haven't seen you since my graduation party."

"Sorry about that." you say sheepishly, "Dad's been keeping a tight leash, he wants me ready for college in the fall... Though that might have to wait..."

Noah shakes his head. "Lets not think about all that bullshit right now." he says, walking back to the group, "We should enjoy ourselves while we can."

You nod and follow along, gleefully hugging Jonah when you can. Elijah keeps his distance, but still smiles at you, even though it makes you feel like he's hiding something. You shake it off; it's probably nothing but your imagination.

The next few hours pass in a blur, the four of you laughing and devoring tacos. You almost forget about the new deadline looming over your head. But things come crashing down quickly when you spot some obviously pregnant men in the distance. That is going to be you before you are even 20.

They try to cheer you up, but nothing does it; not tacos, not hugs, not even Jonah's offer to get you the chocolate fudge cookies you love.

In the end, Elijah offers to drive you home, which you reluctantly take. You still are having a funny feeling about him. But you follow him to his car anyway, ready for today to be over with.

You zone out until you realize that you are nowhere near your house; in fact, you are on the other side of town! You turn to Elijah to ask why you're here when he lungs at you, locking you into a heated kiss. You freeze; what in the hell is going on?

What do you do?
