CH.9
Ellie tried to get some sleep while waiting for her parents. Finally her dad came, "Ready to go home?"
Ellie smiled, "Yes."
One of the doctors replaced the gauze on her neck before Ellie exited the room.
*~*
Ellie listened to the radio playing in car, "Dad, where's mom?"
"Well since I pressed charges on her, the worst I asked for was a night in prison."
Ellie nodded in understanding.
"So that means, you get to see the new house that I bought for just the two of us."
"Really? Just you and me?" Ellie said sounding really excited.
"Yep." Her dad leaned over and kissed her forehead while concentrating on the road ahead.
They pulled into the driveway. Ellie noticed that it was only 2 houses down from where Ashley lives, "Dad, this place is perfect. Ellie jumped out of the car and waited on the doorstep and her father unlocked the door to their home.
"Ellie, you have a choice to make."
"Ok?"
"When I have to leave, you can whether go to your mother's, or your Grandmother will come here and watch over you. So what will it be?"
Ellie's mind went blank. She was still a little afraid of being with her mother, but then again she didn't want to hurt her mother. "Dad, I'm gonna have to think about this."
"Well make sure you think fast, I'll have to be leaving in a week."
"A week? Why so soon?"
"It's my job. Now your room is down the hall, sleep tight pumpkin."
Ellie walked down the hall and saw a small room with all new furniture. She plopped down on the bed and looked around the cold and dreary room.
*~*
At the sound of the phone she quickly woke up to answer it. "Hello?"
"Ellie, hey it's Sean."
"Why are you calling? And how did you get this number?"
"I wanted to call because Ashley came over and gave me some lecture, I didn't even understand half of what she said."
"Shouldn't you be calling another person right now? Cause if ya haven't noticed, I'm fine."
"El, what wrong? I just called to ask why you left so soon."
Ellie's voice started to rise, "Sean! I left because of you and Manny, I opened up to you, something I can't even do with my own dad." Ellie hung up the phone and felt relief spread through her body.
She happily walked down the hall, "Dad, is it alright if I go to Ash's?"
"Sure."
Ellie got dressed and walked to Ashley's; she looked at the house and continued on until she reached her old home.
Ellie knocked on the door and her mother opened it.
"Ellie, what a surprise, come in."
*~*
"So does your father know that you are here?"
"Not exactly. But..." Ellie looked down at the floor, "This is kind of hard for me to ask."
"What is it?"
"If I chose not to come stay at your house while dad's away, will you be mad?"
Ellie's mother was in shock, but she took a deep breath trying to hold her emotions bottled inside of her, "El hun, whatever will make you happy, will make me happy."
Ellie slouched and rested her back on the couch, "I'm so relieved."
"So you don't want to come over here?"
"I just think it's best that. that I stay away from you for a while, or until you get better." Ellie stood up, "So I guess I should head home."
Ellie's mother too stood up, "She gave her daughter a hug, "I hope to see you soon, you know where I am." She watched her daughter walked away until she was out of sight.
On her way home she felt someone wrap his or her arms around her waist. She turned around, "Figures." She shoved Sean's arms off of her.
Sean stopped in his tracks, "Ellie I'm sorry. You should have known that me and you, that's not an easy match."
"I realize that now. We're two completely different people. And that's that!"
"I guess so. Well then I'll be going to Manny's." Sean spit on the ground as he kept his eye on Ellie.
Ellie stopped in her tracks and turned and headed to Sean, "Manny's?! Sean, you will never understand how to show affection. You know, we both hate Manny, I don't know why YOU keep chasing after her. Your just her rebound."
Sean lifted his fist, really wanting to give Ellie one good hit. But he just couldn't, "Ellie. I really want to be mad at you for saying that!"
"Then go ahead!"
"I can't!"
"Why not?"
"Because I know you're right.."
Ellie smiled, "Just stay away from her, that's all." Ellie turned back around heading home. "And also stay away from me."
Sean sat at the edge of the road and put his head in his hands, frustrated.
~~~ Please review this chapter. Thanks! I hope that you understand the settings and all while you were reading. It jumped from Ellie sitting on her bed to the morning, and she's answering the phone. And from her mother answer the door, to the living room sitting down. I hope that you got that.
