Going Home
Ellie was sitting in the passenger seat of her mum's new mercedes jeep. They were almost in Greenville, their plan was to go to Jake's and get him to sign the divorce papers and then leave. Both Ellie and Melanie knew it wouldn't be as easy as that.
Ellie wasn't sure how she felt about seeing her father again, she haad cut him out of her life 6 years ago and she had tried not to think about him, but she couldn't help it, she had always been a daddy's girl, at first she had hated her mother for taking her away from him.
Melanie looked over at Ellie, she was just like Jake, she had the same curly blonde hair and ocean blue eyes, she also had his stubborn nature. Ellie was looking out the window, Melanie knew she was thinking about Jake. Three years ago Melanie was looking for something in Ellie's room when she came across, Ellie's old toy chest that Jake had made her when she was a baby, tucked in the back of her closet. Inside the chest Melanie had found all the pictures of Jake and Ellie together that she had taken when she left. Melanie thought that Ellie had thrown all the cards and gifts Jake sent her away, but they were all there in the chest. Melanie knew that no matter what she said Ellie was still hurting over Jake but what she didn't understand was why she cut him out of her life.
Melanie then looked into the back seat at her younger daughter, Gabby had been so excited when she found out they were going to see her daddy, she had barely slept the night before.
Melanie then pulled up outside a familar house.
"This is it, we're here."
