my eyes shot open when I felt someone tighten their grip around me
Hmmm..
This feels comfy
Suddenly all the flashbacks from everything that happened yesterday came back,
wait i was axel
it's Axel!
Wait are we sleeping on the same bed????
Oh my god! How the hell did we get to sleep in the same room??
I jumped off the bed making him wake up and sit up quickly confused
"what's wrong?" He said, his voice husky as he rubbed his eyes
"Did we sleep together?", I asked
"I guess so" he said like it's was nothing "you scared me"
"You scared me too, you were smashing my body!" I said as we both laughed
"What time is it? We need to hit the road" Axel said
my eyes went to the clock that was placed on the bedside table "It's 9"
"We should get ready then" he said as I nodded
"Axel th-" I was stopped when there was a knock of the door making me shut up
"Axel wake up! We need to go" Lucas called
"I'm awake," Axel said
"Okay, we'll putting our things in the car" Lucas said before leaving
"They can't see me in here"
"Wait I'll check if he left" Axel said opening the door "go now!"
I ran out of the room and got into my room
Idiot :)
I packed all of my stuff and headed out to find almost everyone in the living room
"Good morning!" I said placing my suitcase down
"Good morning?" Theo send sending me a suspicious look
"Morning babe" Savannah said
"Good morning Amelia" Mike said and I caught Axel rolling his eyes
"If you all are ready then let's get going" he said
We nodded before we closed everything and locked the house door before putting our things in the car, I saw some whispers going between Theo, Marcus, Lucas and Savannah
"Axel come drive with us" Brianna said
"No I'm fine with driving my car" he said turning her down
"Thanks for the weekend guys" Mike said
"We enjoyed" Ryan said
"Thanks for coming, only you two excluding these two" Lucas said
"Lucas" Axel send him a glare as we all laughed
"Just fucking drive Ryan!" Brianna said angrily
"Bye" Ryan said waving before they drove off
"Oh my god! Are you serious!" Savannah said in a whisper-yell
"Shhhh" Theo said covering her mouth
"What's with the whispering?" Axel asked
"Nothing!" They all said together
"There is something! Speak" I said looking at each one of them
"There isn't anything" Marcus said
"Savannah baby, tell me, I'm you're bestfriend" I said
"Sav no!" Marcus said
"Sav tell me baby" I said
"Theo saw you coming out Axel's room!" She blurted

Oh fuck
I looked over to Axel who has an amused look on his face
"Did you both sleep together?" Marcus asked as my face turned red
"NO!" Me and Axel said
"only in her dreams" Axel said
"Ew no! You're The one spreading rumors! In your dreams not mine" I said as I smacked his arm
"Never in mine" Axel said
"Then why were you in his room?" Theo asked
Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck
"Um" I need to find a lie
"Because mom called her and she wanted to talk to me too to make sure that we close everything in the house" Axel said
Thank you
"Oh I thought something was going between you both!" Lucas said
"I got a bit excited" Savannah said with a sigh
"Ew no" I said as Axel rolled his eyes
"Don't you think that it's time you both start being friends or act like one at least?" Theo said
"Although I don't like Axel that much but Yeah please!" Savannah said
"No" me and him said
"Please!!!"
"Come on guys! You're both adults!" Marcus said
"We've been enemies for our whole life, I don't think I can be friends with her" Axel said
"He hates me" I said
"Yeah but it won't hurt if you guys tried, come on" Lucas said as I looked at Axel who was looking at me before he gave me a small nod
"Under one condition" I said
"MEL!" They yelled
"What!! It's only one" I said with a shrug
"You should be thankful that I'm getting to be your friend and you're putting conditions?" He said "wait I don't like you too Savannah"
We laughed when she rolled her eyes at him
"speak" he said looking at me with a smirk on his face
"You buy me ice-cream whenever I want to"
"Does Marcus do that?"
"No"
"Then why me?" He raised a brow
"Because we live in the same house?"
"That makes sense, Okay I will"
"Well friends?" I asked stretching my hand
He took my hand and shook it "friends"
We smiled before it got ruined by Marcus
"Finally but I'm really hungry so please let's just go"Marcus said as we laughed
"Well then get in" Axel said as we all got in the car and drove off
"I'm throwing a party just because you both started being friends" Theo said "OR because Axel decided to be friends with someone who isn't me"
"Shut up" Axel said while we laughed
"Where do you wanna go for breakfast?" Savannah asked
"check if there is any nearby places" Marcus said
"Wait no I'm letting my new friend choose since we're now friends" Axel said as I chuckled

"You're the best, friend" I said looking at him with a smile
"I Know that already"
"Can you guys please un friend each other" Savannah said
"Nope we can't go back" I said as Axel sent me a wink

Later that day at the house,
We were sitting in the kitchen with Renee
"I think the trip has its advantages were you're both finally friends now" Renee said
"We're not" me and him said
"She's.. I won't say a friend.. less than that actually" He said making her laugh
"Ouch thank you" I rolled my eyes at him
"At least it's going somewhere" Renee said
"She annoys me" Axel said
"You're the annoying one"
"Axe annoying" Val said as she pointed to axe making us laugh
"No Val you can't say that to anyone" Renee said as Axel pinched her nose
"Did dad come?" Axel asked, Renee answered him by just shaking her head
I swear I can see the sadness in her face
why was Antonio doing this to his family?
when he's acting in the best way towards me??
Axel stood up, turning to walk away from the kitchen
"are you going to sleep?" Renne asked
"I'm tired" he said coldly before disappearing from our view
bitch
A frown was shown on her face as she tried to feed Val, she was lost in her thoughts when I saw a tear slip her eye, she wiped it almost immediately afraid that someone might catch her
"Valerie open your mouth baby" she said
"I'm sorry about him" I spoke apologizing for Axel
"No no darling! It's not your fault" she said shaking her head and looking over to me with a smile
"The way he talked to you wasn't great" I said
"I'm used to it"
Yes, I hate my mother but he can't talk to her like that
"That's not something you should be used too, you're his mother, I'll talk to him"
she nodded before I stood up and turned to go to his room
"Amelia" I turned and looked at her "thank you for whatever you're doing for Axel"
I gave her a smile, before heading up and knocking on his door
"Come in"
I opened the door and stepped in "you didn't have to talk to her like that"
"I'm sorry but it's not your concern Amelia"
"I don't care whether you think it's my concern or not Axel. And I understand that you have that anger towards your father, I don't know the reason but I can see it everytime your around him" I said "but she is your mother, not your father. She doesn't deserve this. It's like whenever your father is in the topic. You change and get all cold towards everyone around. You need to stop doing that. At least stop doing that to your mother"
"Okay" he said as my mouth flew open and I stared at him in wide eyes
"Are you serious?l I exclaimed "I'm done with you Axel but I hope you heard what I just said"
I turned around to walk out before I was pulled back. Axel stood infront of me, his back against the door
"I-.. I'm Sorry" he apologized "I.. I just hate him"
"you hate him, but not your mother"
"It's just when I hear his name, my blood boils and I just get mad. So being cold is a good thing, at least I'm not getting my anger out"
"It's hard Axel but that poor woman thinks that she's the fault of this all. At least try being nice with her, then come to me and be cold"
"But you don't deserve it too" he said
"It's okay." I said as he shook his head not agreeing with me
"I'll try to" he said as I nodded
"thank you" I smiled before he smiled back
"I didn't get to thank you for last night" I spoke as I remembered "thank you so much, that's the first time I've ever felt comfortable while sleeping, I don't know how to thank you"
"anytime, we should start trying to get you lessen the usage of the pills" he said
'We' he said we
"Soon hopefully"
"Thank you again" I said before wrapping my Arms around him and pulling him into a hug
He wrapped his arms around me leaving a bit of space
"Axel. That's not how you hug someone" I said as he laughed
"Yeah sorry I'm not used to it"
"Wait how many times did you say sorry today? That's a great start!!" I said
"Shut up" he nudged me before we laughed
"But literally, thank you" I said
we smiled at each other
"Good night Mel"
"Mel?" I raised a brow
"Yes Mel. Didn't we say we're friends?" He asked
"But you just say I'm less than a friend" I said
"But you'll be a friend soon so I'll just pass that and call you Mel"
"Well okay then, goodnight douchebag" I said while grinning
"Douchebag? Really Amelia Moore??"
"It's my nickname for you" I said "I'm joking, good night Axe"
He moved out from the door before opening it, i waved him a bye before heading to my room with a smile
I'm glad after all these years, I get to fix my friendship with Axel
He was somewhat amazing making me realize why the girls are crazy about him
Yes He isn't perfect, he has flaws just like anyone else and that's what makes him special

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.
