"Mom can I talk to you?" Ellie asked finally coming downstairs.
"No."
"Mom it's really important."
"Not now, now shut up I have a head ache."
"I'm not just going to disappear. I have something really important to tell you."
"Well it will have to wait, it's time for another drink." Her mom said picking up the bottle.
"No!" Ellie said taking the bottle and glass.
"Eleanor give me those back."
"You listen and then you can have them."
"What is it now some high school drama?"
"If you call cutting and pregnancy a high school drama."
"What?"
Ellie was silent.
Her mom stood up and walked over to her.
"What are you talking about?" She asked sternly.
"It's nothing." Ellie replied.
"Who is cutting? Who is pregnant?"
"I am." Ellie said rolling up her sleeve, revealing deep scares.
Her mom slapped her. Ellie could smell the alcohol on her breath when she yelled.
"How could you do this? You've ruined our family!"
Ellie couldn't help but wonder,
"How are we a family?"
Her mom continued hitting her before she got tiered and passed out on the couch. Ellie holding back tears raced to her room.
"This is not happening, this is not happening." She said leaning up against the locked door.
Hours later, her mom was still on the couch, Ellie was sitting on the floor. The phone was ringing off the hook but Ellie didn't dare answer it. It was, Ashley, Marco, or her father, three people she was too ashamed to talk to.
"I've got to get out." She said getting up off the floor and slipping on her coat.
She didn't know where she was going to go but she had to go somewhere. First she tried the dot, Ash and Craig were there. She slipped out just in time. Then she tried the beach, Marco and Dylan were there, she tried to leave un noticed but that didn't work, they saw her.
"Ellie!" Marco called.
She turned around "Crap!" She thought.
"Come join us."
"I was just leaving." Ellie yelled turning around.
"Ellie wait!" Marco said running after her.
"Why should I? All I want is a quiet place to sit and think."
"Then come with me." Marco said grabbing her hand.
"Where are you taking me?"
"The perfect place." Marco said leading her to the rocks. Both of them sat down.
"Don't you need to get back to your boy toy?" Ellie asked.
"That's not fair after the way you treated me."
"The way I treated you! What about how you treated me!"
"You acted like I was a jerk!"
"You are a jerk!"
"I am not I tried to be there for you."
"No you haven't been there for me in months."
"What about that night? Why did I come over then."
"You want to know what I think. You came over because your not sure you want to be gay. But see now you have the guy you wanted. And it scares you that you might not want him any more!"
"Ellie you have it all wrong."
"Do I, or am I making more sense of the thoughts going through your head?"
"I don't need this!" Marco said standing up.
"Just admit it I'm right!"
Marco walked away. Ellie watched him for a minute before turning her head and staring out into the ocean. Dylan came and sat down next to her.
"Let me guess, Marco told you?"
"Yes he did but um I came to help not criticize like everyone else seems to be doing."
"How can you be so cool about this?"
"I don't know but anyway you just need to work out your problems with Marco, and Ashley."
"How do you know about Ashley?"
"Well she's here looking for you."
"Great."
Ashley came and sat down, and Dylan left.
"Ash I've had a hard day, what is it?"
"I just want to talk to you. I mean you need a friend right now."
"How does everyone else know what I need? Unless you have been in this situation, or can read my mind but only I know what I need."
"Okay Ellie, what if I say I need a friend?"
"I guess I could be one of those."
"Great cause I need one right now."
"I do too."
"Could you use two?" Marco asked standing behind them.
"Sure why not." Ellie joked.
"Great cause I need one too." Marco said sitting down.
"The gay one. The gothic one. And then there was it." Ellie said.
"Hey what about me?" Ashley asked.
"Okay and the friend too." Marco added.
