Chapter 5- you do as I say
Chapter summary- Ellie has to go back to school now to face Drew how will he act seeing Ellie and Sean becoming closer?
"Ellie, time to wake we are going to be late for school." Sean said shaking her, Ellie turned over "cant I just stay here forever and never go back to school." Sean laughed "what and let that jack ass know that you are hiding from him so he can come after you, I don't think so." Ellie moaned and got out of bed she looked at he clothes "Well looks like I am going to be wearing the same thing I wore yesterday again." "We can stop at your house and get changed," Sean said. "Yeah and risk having my mom walk in with another guys clothes on, knowing my luck that will be the one second she notices me."
Ellie and Sean started walking to school, "so what are you going to do today?" Sean asked trying to break the awkward silence. "Well I am spending lunch with Mrs. Sauve so I don't have to see him then and avoiding him the rest of the day." Ellie said proud that she might be able to avoid him for the day. "Are you going to tell anyone else?" Sean asked. Ellie nodded "Yeah I called Ashley last night and told her everything and I am pretty sure she called Paige by now. "So you have your friends to help you, that's good." Ellie stopped "Sean thanks for everything I really appreciate it, you didn't have to do this." "No problem really I am glad to help you, I don't want you to get hurt." She hugged him and then they walked up to school.
"Ellie stop please." Ellie and Sean turn around to see Drew with a stuffed bear and a card. Ellie starts to walk away and Drew gets up tries to follow her. "Hey Drew what did I say, stay away from her." Sean catched up with Ellie and grabbed her arm and they walk into school. There is no way I am going to let Sean Cameron steal the girl I am in love with away from me, Drew thought. Sean and Ellie stop when they see Paige and Ashley, "Hey Ellie how are you feeling?" Paige asked. "I'll be good as long as he stays away," Ellie said, "Don't worry we will make sure he doesn't come near you," Ashley said." "I have to get to homeroom Ellie I will meet you after school okay?" Sean asked, Ellie nodded and Sean walked away.
"Sean Cameron is your hero, how cute is that," Paige said. Ellie rolled her eyes and went into Kwan's class. Ashley wrote Ellie a note- Hey Ellie, what did you and Sean do last night? Do you like him? Ellie read it and wrote back I was really upset so we just talked and I am still really messed up right now I mean me and Drew just broke up and I am still afraid he could come after me, so I am so not throwing myself back into a relationship. Ashley understood where she was coming from don't worry we will look after you, he cant hurt you anymore. Just than the bell ring Ashley saw Craig who was in Ellie's next class and he walked with her.
"So it must be weird having everyone looking out for you all the time." Craig said "Yeah I feel like a kid I can watch out for myself I think I will let it go on for today then I am going to tell them to leave me alone because I can take care of myself." Ellie responded. "Yeah I can understand why you would want to be left alone, how did things go after I left?" "Things were okay I didn't feel so great I felt like throwing up so me and Sean talked and went to bed, thanks for your help and everything though." Ellie said. "No problem Ellie. The bell rang just as they walked in to MI. Ellie was falling asleep in class but she was woken up by a knock at the door, it was Drew. "Ellie Nash needs to come down to the main office." "Go ahead Ellie." Mr. Simpson said. "Do you think I can go at the end of the period instead so I don't miss class," Ellie hoped that Mr. Simpson would let her. "No they said it would only take a couple minuets," Drew said. Craig stood up "Do you think I can go with her I need to get something from the main office?" "You can go when Ellie gets back Craig." "Ms. Nash go."
Ellie looked over at Craig, they both looked petrified. She walked out the door and started to walk really fast away from Drew but he caught up to her. "Don't run away from me Ellie." He said, "I have to get to the main office," she said. "Don't bother you weren't called down it was the only chance I had to talk to you," Just than Sean was walking down the hall and saw him chasing after her. "What did I say to you, leave Ellie alone she doesn't want to be with you." Sean grabs Ellie's hand and they sit down and she cries on his shoulder. "You want to go back to class?" Sean asked "yeah, Craig is probably really worried, I wouldn't want to give him a heart attack." Sean walked her back to her class, when Craig saw Ellie walk he let out a sigh of relief but could see she was on the verge of tears.
He wrote her an email Hey Ellie what went on out there, did he touch you?
Ellie wrote back Yeah but don't worry Sean came out to stop him I think I am going to go to the nurse and go home I cant be here anymore. The bell rang, Craig and Ellie met, Ashley, Paige and Sean. "I am going home I can't be here anymore, I am going to tell the nurse I am sick." Everyone nodded and they walked her into the nurses office, "Nurse Henderson I feel really nauseas can I call my mom and have her pick me up?" "Sure Ellie go right ahead." Ellie called her house no answer, Moms probably passed out on the couch, I will call grandma. "Hi grandma it's Ellie, do you think you can come pick me up from school?" "Sure Eleanor, why cant your mom?" "No one picked up at home, she is probably sleeping you can just drop me off at home that would be great." "I will be right there sweetie."
Ellie waited for her grandma outside the school, she dropped Ellie off at home. Ellie went straight up to her room and fell asleep. She woke up around 6:00 p.m. and turned on the TV, she laid there motionless. There was a knock at her window she knew who it was and jumped up she tried to get to the door but Drew smashed the window open. She shrieked "Ellie if you move anymore I will kill you," Drew said he held up a gun. "Drew what are you doing?" Ellie said she was crying, Drew got closer "now you listen to me missy, I say when we break up not you and I want to be with you so you are going to stay with me." "If you don't stay with me I will kill you and I will kill Sean and all of your friends." Ellie was mortified "why would you do this to me?!" "I am so afraid to be with you, I am afraid you will hurt me." Drew put the gun down "I wont hurt you if you listen to me, I want you to stay with me if you don't want to die you will stay with me." I have to do it he could kill Sean, he could kill me. I have to do it give him what he wants right. Ellie hesitated walked up to him and kissed him. "That's a good girl, now don't talk to Sean ever again the second I see you talking to him I will go after him." Drew started back out the window "oh yeah and if you tell anyone" He holds the gun up and winks at her.
Ellie crawled into her bed and cried why me, what did I do to deserve this, all I wanted was a boyfriend someone who cared about me and this is what I got. What about Sean what if he tries to hurt Drew, Drew would kill Sean and I cant let that happen. I have to do this to save Sean from getting hurt. I am doing the right thing, right? Maybe he will change and won't hurt me as long as I do what he says I can be safe. There is no way he would want to be with me forever, he is going to get tired being around me sooner or later. A couple of months at the most than when he breaks up with me I can move on. In the Back of Ellie's head she hears Sean telling her to go to the police. I cant go to the cops now either if he is found innocent or comes out of jail he would still come after us, there is no way that I can be safe and I need to protect Sean he has been protecting me it is time to return the favor. It's what I have to do.
