Big Secrets

Authors Note: Sorry about the wait for the update to the two people who read this. And halfway through writing this story I realized I might want to make their relationship into an abusive one. Not sure yet.

3- An Awkward Proposal

"Umm. Ok. What is it?" Ellie was seriously afraid they were about to break up.

Evan put down his guitar and got down on one knee.

"Ellie, kitten, will you marry me?"

Her jaw dropped. And her mind raced.

"Evan..I...I don't know what to say. I mean...I don't think I...I coudn't." She just started rambling.

"Look Ellie. I love you and you love me, right?"

She nodded, yes.

"Well when you turn 18 I was thinking we could get married. I mean why not?"

"Evan. I'm only 17. Marriage is a big thing. It's not something to joke about. And plus they don't even know that we're-" Evan cut her off.

"Joke about? Ellie do you think I'm joking about this?" Evan got infuriated and started pacing around the room.

"This is not a joke. I really do love you. Maybe you are still just a child."

"I can't believe you! No one even knows we're dating I can't keep lying. And now you want me to marry you. I'm 17! I'm not ready for this. And I can't keep all these secrets." Ellie started crying and ran out of the house, Evan chasing after her.

"Ellie stop!" He caught her in the front yard and grabbed her arm.

"Get off of me!" she screamed.

"Just get back in the house we'll talk about all this calmly." He started to drag her towards the front door so she fought back.

"Get your hands off of me Evan!" she kicked him in the leg, dropped her bag, and ran home.
