Chapter 6- Send the pain below
Chapter summary- How will Ellie's friends react when she is with Drew and ignoring them. What will Drew do next?
Ellie rolled over when her alarm clock rang she didn't get much sleep the night before and all she wanted to do is roll back and go to sleep, but she heard the door bell rang and knew who it was. She opened the door "ready for school love?" Drew walked in and noticed Ellie wasn't ready, "Are you sick?" Ellie shook her head "I will be ready in a minuet. Drew waited in Ellie's room and when she was done getting ready they walked to school. Ellie took a deep breathe as she walked up to the school hand in hand with Drew, Sean, Paige, Ashley, Marco and Craig were waiting for her on the stairs "Ellie!" Paige screamed but Ellie just walked past all of them and went straight to Kwan's.
"Did I just see what I thought I just saw?" Craig asked, Sean looked at him dumbfounded "there has to be something wrong Ellie wouldn't go back to him without a reason." "Well I know they aren't going to stay together that much longer if I have anything to do with it," Marco said. Everyone laughed "you are going to take on Drew?" Ashley asked. Marco laughed "No you are," Marco pointed to Sean. "What am I suppose to do, maybe she still loves him and I can't do anything about that." Sean walked away upset and heart broken.
Paige and Ashley went to class and stopped at Ellie's desk "what are you doing Ellie?" Paige asked, Ellie was a little taken back by how straight forward she was "I don't want to talk about it, its none of your business." 'Ladies take a seat please" Kwan said. Paige wrote Ashley a note- She doesn't want to talk about it and I don't think she will ever talk about it with us, I know one person she will talk to. Sean and we are going to make sure he does. Ashley read the note and nodded her head in agreement. When class ended Ellie walked right pass Ashley and Paige out in to the hall. "Ellie wait!" Craig called but Drew came to her side and pulled her away.
Craig shook his head and when they got to MI he wrote her and email- Ellie what is going on? Why would you risk getting hurt, why blow off all your friends you know that we care about you and doing this is scaring us. What is your reason for going back to him? Ellie read the email looked over at him Craig thought she would write him back but she just hit delete and went back to listening to Mr. Simpson.
During lunch Marco and Ashley tried to sit with Ellie but she got up and went outside, Drew found her there "your being a very good girl I am proud that you have gotten over all your friends, we can be happy now forever. That word echoed in Ellie's head forever, no that's crazy he doesn't want me forever that would be crazy.
Sean looked out the window as Drew and Ellie talked she even managed to kiss him and laugh at what ever he was saying. Sean almost felt like crying there was a beautiful girl who was mistreated by her boyfriend but she would still go back to him. If that is what she wants then Sean was going to give that to her but he knew that later on something bad was happened. He started to fear for Ellie's life but what could he do? He couldn't do anything anymore he has done all he could.
That night Sean sat on his couch watching the phone hoping it would ring and Ellie would be on the other end telling him she was okay, and that she has left Drew for good. There was a knock at the door and Sean jumped up and opened up. "What are you doing here?" Sean said disappointed. "I know it's weird for me being here but I need to talk to you." Paige said. "You have to talk to her there is no way that we can let this happen, she talked to you before she would do it again." "Look Paige I know you want me to help but I can't I have done all I can, I let her stay at my house I let her talk to me and I tried to save her from him what else can I do?" Sean sighed. "Duh Sean call the cops or call her." "I already told her we should go to the cops and she doesn't want to, I am going to respect that." Paige got mad "you are going to let her get hurt?" Paige picked up Sean's phone and dialed Ellie's cell phone "call her."
-------
Back at Ellie's house Ellie and Drew are watching a movie in Ellie's room. "You are so beautiful" Drew said. Ellie blushed she kissed him, Drew pulled her over to him and started kissing her first slow but he started kissing her harder. Ellie tried to get up but he pushed her down. He starts to take his shirt off, Ellie gets scared. "No Drew come on." She squeaked, "Ellie, remember you do what I want, and this is what I want and you will do it." Ellie screams down to her mom but Drew pulls out duct tape.
------
Just as he is about to tape her mouth Ellie's phone rings the caller ID says Sean Cameron. Drew gets frustrated and picks up. "Leave Ellie alone Sean she doesn't want you." Ellie heard Drew say Sean and she screams "Sean help me please" Jus than the line goes dead. Drew puts the tape on her mouth than he gets closer to her ear and whispers "you run and I will slit your throat." Drew pulls a knife out of his pocket and puts it on the side of Ellie's bed. She shakes her head and lets him take her over.
-------
Sean looks at the phone as the line went dead. "Lets go Ellie needs help." He and Paige go running to Ellie's house. "What's wrong?" Paige said out of breathe. "I don't know but I heard her crying and screaming help in the back round." They speed up as they get closer to Ellie's house. When they get to the door they start banging on the door, "Ellie are you okay?!" Paige was screaming. Inside Mrs. Nash rolled over and looked at the door but was too tired to get up. "Look Paige no one is answering there has to be an open window. They run around the house and the room that Ellie and Drew are in, "Paige look." They look at Drew and Ellie who are having sex. "Looks like they made up, lets go I can watch this." Sean says, Paige takes one look in the window and see's the knife next to the bed and than looks at Ellie. "Sean wait, look!" He looks at Ellie and sees her mouth duct taped and her eyes filled with tears she looked like she was in a lot of pain.
Sean freaked and pushed the door open, "Oh my god what are you doing!" Sean screamed. Drew jumps up pulls his pants up and grabs the knife. "Take one step closer Sean and I will kill you." Paige ran over to Ellie and pulled the tape off and Ellie pulled the blanket over her. "Why would you do this to Ellie, you don't love her." Sean screamed. He stared to get closer to Drew and tried to grab the knife, Drew cuts Sean's arm and then Sean gets it out of his hand. "Get out of here now Drew and you will hear from the cops!" Drew looked over at Ellie and ran out of the room.
Ellie was crying in Paige's arms, "Why Ellie, why would you go back to him?" Sean asked. Ellie pulled her shirt back on, "He told me he would kill you if I didn't go back to him, I couldn't risk that." Sean sat next to her and pulled her into a hug "I can take care of myself okay you don't need to be with him to take care of me." Sean said. Ellie looked at him "you saved me when I needed it and I wanted to do something for you and that was what I could do." "Ellie you think almost getting your self killed would be paying me back, I could never loose you." Ellie hugged him again "Sean, your bleeding, come here." She reached over to her side table and grabbed some peroxide and a bandage. As she fix's his cut he starts to talk "Ellie we have to go to the hospital and the cops." Paige said. "I know," Ellie said. "Come on El lets get you out of here you can stay at my house for a while." Sean said. She changed her clothes, packed some stuff up and went outside.
It was dark outside, "I should call Craig and he can take us, okay?" Sean said. Paige and Ellie nodded, 10 minuets later Craig showed up. "Hey guys, so where are we headed?" Ellie held her head high for the first time that night "To the hospital." The rest of the ride was silent no one wanted to say anything that could make Ellie upset. Ellie was lost in thought its time to get him help, he needs help and I need to make sure he never does anything like this again. Its time to do what I should have done in the first place. Ellie looked over at Sean There he is just sitting there he doesn't even know how strongly I feel for him right now, he saved me, he protected me he was my hero. He could be the one for me. I need to really thank him but I don't know how.
They pulled into the hospital and Ellie grabbed Sean's hand as they walked in. The nurse saw Sean's bandaged arm and Ellie crying and brought them into a room. "What happened?" The nurse asked. "Would it be possible for the police to come here for me to press charges here or do I have to go to the station?" The nurse called in the doctor and listened as Ellie told the story about the abuse and the rape. "We can call the police and they will come down and write a report but we are going to need to run some tests on you." They took Sean into one room and me into another. My head was spinning from what had gone on I don't even know how to deal with any of it.
