/N: I plan on ending this story within maybe 2 chapters, because I'm running out of lyrics and ideas for this story. There MIGHT be a sequel, but I highly doubt it. Maybe another Pellie story in the future though, but unrelated to this one. However I have several stories in the works...so check out all of them, and I hope you enjoy the rest of this story. Make sure to review!
When Paige came home and found Ellie in bed, with her hand bloody like that, she freaked out. She woke Ellie up, demanding to know what had happened. Groggily, the redhead explained about the mirror and Paige went into the bathroom to check it out. Sure enough, shards of glass were everywhere. Panicking, Paige called 911.
They took her into the hospital, and there wasn't much to be worried about. They treated Ellie's hand, telling Paige it was good that she brought her, otherwise the wound might have gotten infected. It only took a few hours and then they could leave.
Ellie was getting sick
of the hospital. She was sick of a lot of things, actually. Life
being one of them. Over the next few days, Ellie refused to eat, and
wouldn't speak either.
"Ellie, you HAVE to eat." Paige
said gently. Ellie shot her a deadly look, but Paige wouldn't let
up. Eventually the blond forced some pudding down the other girl's
throat.
There was no way she could leave her alone, afraid that the girl would try something stupid like committing suicide. Paige quit her job, and stayed home full-time, taking on the responsibility of Ellie. She managed to keep her calm enough, but it seemed like the tears just kept spilling out. It saddened Paige beyond belief to see the love of her life in such pain. She called Ms. Suave, the only person she could think of to help her.
"Paige, she's undergoing intense stress and feelings of abandonment. She feels that her father left her, and that her mother is leaving her too. It's a lot of issues to work through, and she's not strong enough to deal with it right now. I'll call a few colleagues, and get something worked out. I think we're going to have to put her on some type of medicine. Maybe we could start some kind of payment plan--"
Paige interrupted. "My parents have a ton of money, they'll do whatever they can. I just want my Ellie back...it's so horrible seeing her this way."
Ms. Suave nodded, giving Paige a swift hug and leaving to figure some things out.
The next few days were even more difficult, but Paige was relieved when she finally heard from some doctors. She'd have to bring Ellie down to their offices, and they could diagnose her and get her on some sort of antidepressant. However, they warned her to keep a close eye on Ellie because antidepressants could sometimes have a suicidal side effect. That worried Paige, but she knew that if they didn't try this, then it would all be hopeless.
Ellie qualified for antidepressants, so they wrote her a prescription for Zoloft. That's the kind with the bouncy egg guy. Paige took Ellie to the pharmacy, getting the prescription filled. The redhead began taking this medicine daily, and it seemed to work like a charm.
Ellie was intensely
cheerful. She jumped onto her girlfriend's lap, wrapping her arms
around her neck. (A/N: she's gonna be OOC for the rest of the story
due to the antidepressants!)
"Paige - I wanna go to a
carnival. And I want some cotton candy and I want to play some
games," She said, nodding and getting up. She paced around the
room excitedly. Grabbing her coat and all of her money, Ellie turned
to Paige. "Let's go!"
Paige thought a
carnival sounded like a relatively good idea, so she agreed. They
rode rides all day, and then when it was nighttime, Ellie had calmed
down a little.
Paige took her girlfriend's hand, leading her
over to the abandoned bridge. They sat there, staring out into the
water. Ellie smiled, giving Paige a much-needed kiss.
"I love
you," she declared, watching the moon shine on the water. Paige
saw something in Ellie's eye flicker as the girl rose from her
feet. She gave Paige a mischievous grin, jumping off of the small
bridge into the freezing water. The blond let out a laugh, jumping in
after her.
"Ahhhhh. It's
cold!" Paige shouted.
"Yeah, it is." Ellie agreed,
pulling Paige closer to her. They floated there, in the water, simply
looking at each other. Then Ellie flashed her girlfriend a sheepish
smile, getting out of the water with a shiver. "Now the most
important thing on my mind is getting warm." She said, wrapping
her soaked arms around herself. Paige got out, tackling Ellie into
the grass and pulling her body close. They lay there like that,
staring at the stars and listening to the crickets. It was a
completely cliché moment, but Paige enjoyed it. It didn't
happen often these days because Ellie was so hyped up on medicine.
She was acting as if she had ADHD or something.
They went back home and
dried off, putting on fresh pajamas and went to bed.
Paige smiled,
watching Ellie drift off to sleep.
"I'm gonna marry that
girl." She murmured. Ellie shifted in the bed, sitting up and
looking at her girlfriend.
"What did you
say?" Ellie asked, half-asleep and not realizing what it was
Paige said.
"Nothing." Paige lied, planting a kiss on
the redhead's forehead.
They both leaned backwards, and fell quietly and swiftly into dreamland.
