Jeanette watched Eleanor as she filed in and out of her closet with a million shopping bags. Brittany had been gone for a week and Miss. Miller was sick with cancer for the second time. Ellie had lost 8 pounds and was still getting smaller. She worked out every chance she got and seemed happier in some ways. Her hair seemed to be brighter and her smiles seemed to make you smile again. She started back cooking except her meals were a bit healthier. Eleanor had cleaned out most of her wardrobe and instead of skirts and dresses it was replaced with jeans t-shirts, vans, converse and most of all skateboards. She visited the skate shop on the beach every day and almost always came back with something. Jeanette was in a little world of her own. Her world was changing all around her and she couldn't do anything to change it. She did have Simon though and that did seem to make things just a bit better.
Theodore had finally decided to go back to California. Yeah he had to get away for a little bit but only because he was scared. Eleanor had loved him and he just didn't know if he really loved her of just loved her body he didn't know how to not lie to her. He couldn't let their secret be known. They both had promised each other they wouldn't even tell their siblings. They were like Bonnie and Clyde except they were on the run from themselves. He had asked God to forgive him so many times for what they did. One other thing he didn't get though was how she was so calm about it sometimes. She would get herself a ride up to Vermont for the weekend asking what the hell he was doing. Theodore would threaten to tell everybody what they did and they would both go to jail. Eleanor would act like she didn't care and leave saying she would tell on herself. Theodore would crack and go to her hotel and apologize and kiss her. They would just lay in bed under the covers naked not doing anything and just staring at each other's bodies. She would just bring it up and laugh sinfully saying it was so fun. Then Eleanor would laugh even louder and then scream into Theodore's chest and fall asleep in his arms. They would wake up 3 hours later and pretend like nothing happened.
"Alvin, please come back with me..." A single tear rolled down Brittany's face. She quickly wiped it off of her face and walked into the main building of Alvin's boarding school in Arlington, Vermont. She had been staying in a hotel for a week trying to collect her thoughts together. She had originally planned to march into his room and demand that he bring his selfish ass back to California with her and that she wasn't leaving until he did. Then when she saw a girl with jet black hair lean up and kiss him she cowered into the shadows embarrassed her cheeks scarlet. So she sat up every night desperately thinking of reasons for him to come back.
She briskly went up to his dorm room and knocked on the door. Theodore answered the door his eyes wide with a large duffel bag hanging from his shoulder and he was tightly gripping a rolling suit case. "Hey bro there's some chick here for you!" Theodore gave Brittany a reassuring hug and proceeded out of the door. She entered her feet barley making a sound on the soft plush white carpet riddled with red juice stains. Any other day she would lecture Alvin about cleanliness but she just didn't feel like herself today. Alvin sat at the computer typing away at what seemed like a research paper. The date in the right corner of the paper was April, 10, 2013 even though it was the 13th so Brittany knew that Alvin was the same person who waited till the last minute to get things done. "Listen Kandice if you're nervous about our kiss in Drama your girlfriends not going to care" A wave of relief washed over her. So that girl he kissed wasn't his new interest. Then to add to it the girl was a lesbian. Alvin annoyed that the girl that he assumed was Kandice wasn't speaking he swiveled around in his chair and let out an exasperated sigh. His eyes closed when they opened were greeted by a kiss, a deep loving kiss by lips he had dreamt about every day. The soft Peach lips that were as soft as the feathers of doves and as sweet as blue cotton candy. When her tongue entered his mouth he was enchanted and forcibly entered her mouth taking it all in. Alvin's hands explored her body caressing her perfectly sculpted butt then resting his hands on her hips. When they came up for air there was nothing else they could do but stare into each other's eyes. "Alvin come back home please I need you and you're just torturing being here. I want your body I want to kiss you I want all of you are haunting my dreams and I can't get them to go away I need you I need you I need you I love you to death…" Brittany kissed him in between words her breath heavy her body shaking. Alvin sat her on his lap and just held her whispering into her hair. "Its ok don't cry I'm all here…you're all here"
