Alex turned and ran out of the apartment.
"Alex wait," Sean turned and ran after her."..why'd you run off like that?" he grabbed her shoulder.
"Its just...I cant ..I cant pretend anymore." she shook her head tears pouring down her face.
"What are you talking about?" he shrugged.
"Sean...I love Jay...even after everything he did to me I still love him...I just cant think of him with someone else." her body shook with sobs. Sean put his arms around Alex and hugged her close to him.
"Hey whats going on out here?" Jay called from the door. He was pulling his shirt over his head.
"Ill tell you whats going on you asshole." Sean charged at Jay, knocking him back into the house.
"Whoa..whats your deal?" Jay pushed Sean back.
"So as soon as I leave you jump on my woman." Sean yelled.
"Whoa...whoa..nobody thought you were coming back...and..." Jay started to laugh.
"Whats going on?" Emma sat up from the couch.
"Emma what are you doing here?" Sean shook his head in confusion.
"Sean...What.." Emma started to say.
"Look I'm sorry but I didnt know you still had feelings for Emma." Jay started to stay.
"Wh..where's Ellie?" Sean stuttered.
"Ellie's asleep in the bedroom.." Jay shook his head "..she let me crash here." Sean pushed Jay out of the way and headed for his room.
"Ellie" he called. He looked in the bedroom. She wasnt in the unmade bed.
"Ellie!" he called again...making his way to the bathroom. He tried the knob but the door was locked.
"Ellie!" he screamed at the top of lungs ramming himself against the door. Everyone gathered in the hallway. Emma rapped up in a sheet. He finally got the door down to find Ellie laying in a heap on the floor. Her cd case containing her razors and rubberbands laying sprawled all over the floor.
"Ellie!" he leaned down and grabbed her up into his arms.
"Sean?" she looked up at him. He noticed she was wearing headphones.
"What are you doing?" he said to her
"Sean," Ellie threw her arms around Sean and burst into tears "..tell me its really you and not just a dream."
"Its me baby." he hugged her close to himself. "Its me."
After everyone else had left Sean and Ellie lay cuddled up on the couch.
"So you never told me why you were locked up in the bathroom." Sean turned to her.
"I got tired of hearing Emma and Jay. So I went into the bathroom locked the door and put on my headphones so I couldnt hear them." she laughed.
"Okay but why did you have your..." Sean started.
"Sean I don't want to talk about it...please not now." She bowed her head.
"Ellie ...Just please tell me you arent cutting again." he looked down at him.
"Im not its just.." She sighed and let her sentence trail off.
"Ellie?" he looked at her.
"Look." she pulled up her sleeves to show him her arms the only thing were old scars.
"Okay... I just worry about you...I love you." he leaned down and kissed her.
"I know" she pulled away and smiled.
Then why did you leave me..she couldnt help thinking. Just then the phone rang.
"Ill get it." Sean jumped up.
"Hello..oh yeah...hey...shes okay...yeah you wanna talk to her?" Sean said.
He handed Ellie the phone.
"Hello?" she gave Sean a funny look.
"Hey Ellie.. glad youre okay." Marco's voice came from the phone.
"Oh hey Marco." she shook her head.
"Guess what I've got great news." Marco said.
"Oh what?" she asked.
"Look Dylan meet me after school today and guess what.." Marco said excitedly.
"...he wants us to go out tomorrow and spend the day together he wants us to talk." he rushed in before she could answer.
"Thats great I guess." she said.
"Well hey look Ill let you go so you can spend some time with Sean...Ill call you tommorrow night." He said and hung up before she answered.
'Okay." Ellie shook her head and hung up the phone.
"Cmere babe." Sean padded the couch next to him. Gladly she smiled and plopped down beside him. He leaned over and started to kiss her,and started to pull her pj top over her head.
"Sean.." she giggled.
"What?" he laughed.
"Cmon you just got back."
"Do you know how much I missed you?" he pulled her close.
"Well if it was anywhere near how much I missed you then it was too much." She laughed.
Sean pulled her back into a kiss.
"I love you." he pulled away and looked down at her.
"I love you too." She smiled.
