You Never Really Can Fix A Heart

The past month was stressful , my mom was up my ass twenty four seven. I barely had anytime to hangout with Joseph and when I did it was only for a couple minutes. I walked up the driveway to my house I noticed that Joseph's truck just pulled up next to me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"I'm not really sure, your mom just said that I should come over right away." he walked with me up to the living room. I didn't know what was going on then I saw Lisa, Paul, Miles, Lucas my mom and my dad.

"Where's Robbie?" I asked.

"Jimmy is upstairs with him." my mom said standing up.

"What's she doing here." I said.

"She came to tell us something." my dad said "Something you've been hiding from me."

"I haven't done anything, so whatever that skank told you is a lie." I said to my dad.

"Don't." he said walking towards me. "I want know if it's true."

"If what's true?" I almost yelled.

"Are you seeing Joseph." he asked and my mouth dropped open.

"You bitch." I said charging at Lisa but my dad grabbed me and held be back, but I didn't stop I tried to kick free to get my hands on her but his grip was strong.

"So it's true?" my mom said sounding disgusted by me. I looked at Joseph who stood there in shock, what was I to say.

"Yes." Joseph said finally speaking.

"For how long?" my mom asked.

"Almost two months. But I promise you Mrs. Lavelle we haven't done anything that Ella doesn't want to do. I've never pressured her or anything."

"So you think that makes it better?" my dad said yelling.

"No, I just wanted you to know I would never do that to Ella." Joseph said trying to calm my dad down a little.

"Did you have sex with him?" my dad asked me. He was so mad, I've never seen him this mad before.

"Dad, please calm down and just listen to me." I tried to tell him.

"Ella, answer the question." he yelled at me.

"Yes." I whispered. The next thing I knew my dad turned and punched Joseph in the face. My brothers ran forward and held my dad back. I ran towards Joseph who stood by the wall, with his lip bleeding. "Joseph, I'm so sorry."

"Get the hell out of my house." my dad said. "I swear to god if I see you around Ella ever again, I will kill you myself." Joseph looked at me and turned to leave.

"No, please don't go." I said crying. "Please, don't stay I-I'll make him understand."

"Understand what, Ella?" he said "It's over." he went to walk out the door but stopped at my last words.

"I love you." I said. I expected him to turn around and hug me and tell me everything was going to be alright, but he didn't. He walked out the door slamming it behind him. My whole family all looked at me when I walked back in. "Happy?"

"Ella, he is way too old for you." My mom said. "You need to find someone your own age."

"Dad is seven years older then you." I yelled at her "You have just ruined something that I loved so much."

"That wasn't love, Ella." my dad said "That was lust, and you wanting to be with an older guy for fun."

"You think I did that for fun?" I asked, I was really getting angry now. "I loved him, and you must have no idea what love is if you did not see the way he would care for me."

"You will not raise your voice to me!" my dad yelled.

"I'm eighteen I'll do whatever the hell I want." I said screaming back "Want to know another secret." I moved closer so I was right in his face. "I'm going to Juilliard."

"Get out." my dad said "I want you out of this house, I don't care where you go but you better get the hell out." he brushed past me and slammed the door on his way out. I looked at Lisa who stood there smiling.

"Ella.." Paul said coming forward.

"Don't," I said trying not to cry but it didn't work. "just leave me alone. I have to go pack."

"Are you okay?" Bella asked as I unpack some clothes in her guest room. After the fight with my dad I quickly packed and took Robbie and went to Bella's.

"No, my family hates me, my dad kicked me out my boyfriend dumped me and I feel horrible dumping this all on you."

"Trust me , my mom loves you, she doesn't care." Bella said playing with Robbie. I finished packing the clothes away and laid on the bed.

"I really just got kicked out of my house." I said looking at Bella.

"Are you going to talk to Joseph?" Bella asked. I blinked back tears as I answered her questions.

"No, he made it clear it was over." I told her and it really was.

One Month Later

"Ella," my mom said coming out from the back of the store. "where did that order from yesterday go?"

"I don't know." I told her. I flipped though the magazine that laid in front of me. I had a clear view of the church from here and I could always see Joseph working around. My mom walked over and saw me looking at him, for the first time in a month she didn't yell at me.

"Do you miss him?" she asked me. I looked at her and nodded.

"Don't worry I haven't talked to him since that day. I haven't even gone anywhere near him either, I've listened."

"Good." she said nodding. I watched as Lisa went up to Joseph and tried to hug him but he pushed her away, just seeing her being that close to him made me want to cry. "Ella, did you truly love him."

"Yes."

"Your father and I have been talking about letting you move back in if you want." she said.

"I'll think about it, I think Bella's family is getting a little annoyed with me anyway." I told her. I told my mom I was taking off and she let me. I noticed all my brothers were in the town and so was dad, the whole town was basically there which was really rare.

"Ella!" I heard Bella say as she ran down the street. "It's here, the new piano." Joseph's truck rolled down the street with a beautiful black piano. "This is it, take your chance."

"What are you talking about?" I asked her.

"Go play." she said "I saw the song, the one you wrote for Joseph, All About Us, go play it."

"Bella, no ."

"Ella, GROW SOME BALLS." she shouted. "I'll create a distraction, and you open the bed and get up there, got it?" without my answer she ran into the middle of the road and the truck stopped right in the middle of town square, everyone was looking." GO!" she shouted.

"What the hell are you doing?" Joseph shouted from inside the truck. I ran over and unlocked the back, I pulled out the piano chair and looked at everyone, my audience was the whole town. I saw Joseph get out of the truck and look at me. I took one deep breath and began to play.

It felt so good to play again, I mean yes I played at Bella's every chance I got but being able to play this song just made me feel good. I wrote it after the first time I met Joseph, yeah it was a little rushed but I couldn't help the way I felt about him, I loved it.

I didn't know if he loved me back and I was okay with that. The fact that he was once mine, was good enough for me. I looked around at my audience and saw them all amazed at me playing.

Once I finished I stood up, and expected silence but instead what I got was a everyone screaming and clapping. They liked it, even my dad. I saw him smiling and clapping with my mom. I looked down at Joseph and he helped me down from the back of the truck.

"That was beautiful." he told me.

"I wrote it, for you." I told him. Even though my dad was there Joseph bend down and wrapped me in a hug. "I miss you."

"Ella, I have to tell you something." Joseph said "I'm getting deployed."

"Wait, what?" I felt dizzy.

"In a month I have to go back, but only for six months."

"You're leaving?" I said and I felt tearing falling down my face, I still didn't care that there was a good amount of people still watching.

"Ella, look at me. I love you." he told me. I look back at my dad who just stared. After a few moments I saw him nod. I grabbed Joseph's face in my hands and kissed him.

"I love you." I told him smiling.

"WOW!" I heard Bella cheer. I looked back and my mom and dad were laughing.

"I had a long talk with your dad." Joseph said "He said when the time was right we would end up back together, I guess he was right."

"Thank god, because I couldn't take another day without you" I said kissing him again.

Alright, I know short but alot happened. I'm sorry I've been so busy I just want to get some chapters in.

The song Ella played was called All About Us by He Is We, I'll have the link on my profile:)
