She came out of her room that morning to find both of her roommates already awake and eating breakfast in the kitchen. It was another usual day. Get up, chat with Marco and Paige before heading off to her classes and then to the Core to spend another day dealing with her boss/ex-boyfriend.
"Morning El," Marco said from his usual spot on the counter next to their table.
"Morning." she muttered grabbing her mug from the cabinet and pouring herself a cup of coffee.
"How are you doing?" Paige asked sounding slightly worried. It had been about three weeks since Ellie had caught her boss and at the time boyfriend having sex with her old mentor. Both Paige and Marco had noticed her acting differently since then but niether of them wanted to approch her about it.
"I'm fine guys. Just because I have to watch Jesse flirt with every girl at the Core doesn't mean everything's not okay." Ellie said pasting a smile on her face.
Everything was not okay. Ever since her break-up with Jesse she had been given a lot of time to think about a lot of things especeilly her relationship with members of the opposite sex.
Her father had left her, albit unwillingly, when she was fourteen to deal with her mother's drinking problem. Marco had turned out to be gay which ended their 'relationship'. Sean had taken off when the going got tough and Craig had enjoyed the company of Manny Santos and his bag of cocaine more than her.
Even Jesse had turned out to be just like the rest of them. For her to say she was fine would be lying.
Before either of them could respond they heard the phone ring. Marco being the closest answered the phone. After he answered it he handed their cordless phone to Ellie.
"Hello?" she said holding the phone in one hand as she brought her cup of coffee up to her mouth with the other one.
"What?!" she asked gasping as her mug slipped from her hand shattering into pieces on the floor. "Of course! Yea I'll be there! Thank you so much!" she said excitedly before hanging up.
Marco quickly bent down to pick up the pieces of glass. "What was that about?" he asked her throwing the pieces of the broken mug into the trash can.
"My dad's coming home! He's going to be here in a couple hours. I got to get to the airport." she said running back to her room to get dressed.
