Ellie walked in the door and Sean followed carrying her bag in for her.
"Where do you want this?" Sean asked.
"Um...I guess just put it on the couch." she sighed. He set it down.
"You going to be okay?" he asked.
"Yea Ill probably just go to school Ill just be a couple hours late." she shrugged.
"You want a ride?" he asked holding the door open.
"Sure." she followed after him.
"Alright Ill call you later." Sean leaned over to kiss her but she turned her face so he kissed her on the cheek and she got out and slammed the car door shut. Ellie walked into the school and went to her locker. She opened her locker just as the bell rang. The halls became flooded with students. She heard Marco and Craig coming towards her. She tried to duck out of the way, but Marco spotted
"Hey Ellie." he came over and put his arm around her.
"Hey Marco." she said in a monotone voice.
"Happy to see you too,..."Marco laughed. "...so how was your weekend with Sean."
" Marco...please." she shook her head.
"Listen...Dylan and I..."Marco started.
"Marco Im not in the mood for it right now." Ellie started to walk towards the bathroom. She could feel the tears about to break and she didnt want anyone to see her.
She went in and sat in one of the stalls.
"Ellie."she heard her other best friend Ashley..
"Ashley." Ellie said.
"There you are." Ashley swung open the stall doors.
"Ashley I cant..." She sniffled.
"C'mon Ellie tell me whats wrong. Did something happen between you and Sean?" Ashley asked.
"Sort of" Ellie sniffled
"What's goin on?"Alex said walking into the bathroom.
"Ellie isnt feeling too good." Ashley responded.
"Wanna skip?...Jay will take us anywhere we wanna go." Alex looked at Ellie.
"I don't think..." Ashley started.
"Yea...I wanna get outta here." Ellie grabbed her bag outta the floor and walked past Ashley.
"But El..." Ashley started but Ellie kept walking and was out of the door before she could finish Ashley followed them.
"What's going on El?" Marco asked.
"Im leaving." Ellie said.
"Hey Jay we wanna go." Alex said walking up to him.
"Okay sure...this palce blows anyways." Jay said throwing his bag in his locker and slamming it.
"Ellie whats wrong with you?" Marco followed as they headed out the door and towards Jays car.
"Hey bro get in the car if your coming." Alex said holding the door open.
"Fine." Marco said climbing into the back beside Ellie. Alex jumped into the passenger seat and Jay sped off.
"Ellie talk to me Im your best friend." Marco begged.
"Im fine Marco." Ellie looked at him.
"Your not Ellie, you forget Im your best friend and I can tell when somethings wrong. Theres been something wrong with you." he said.
"Well maybe if you had payed more attention to your "best" friend instead of Dylan you would have noticed and this wouldn't have happened." Ellie snapped at him.
"Thats harsh, Ellie" Marco sat back.
"So where to?" Jay asked.
"Lets go to Ellie's and hang out...order some pizza...just chill."Alex suggested.
"Alright." Jay headed towards Ellie's.
Ellie unlocked the door and walked in with the others following her. She noticed that her suitcase was no longer on the couch were she left it. She walked towards her bedroom slowly as Jay sat on the couch and Alex started to order the pizza. Marco followed Ellie into the bedroom. Sean was standing over Ellie's Suitcase which was sitting on the counter.
"What are you doing here?" Ellie asked.
"I could ask you the same question." Sean looked up at her.
"Well I live here." Ellie walked over and snatched one of shirts that Sean was holding out of his hand and tossed it onto the bed.
"But I thought you went to school?" he looked at her.
"Yea I did but I decided to come home, if that's okay with you dad...why are you here." Ellie crossed her arms over her chest.
"Well I was headed out of town, but I couldn't leave you." he tried to put his arm around her.
"Funny you had no problem leaving before." she pushed him away.
"Ellie please." Sean looked at her pleadingly.
"Sean just leave me alone." Ellie turned and walked away.
"Hon..what is..." Marco started but Ellie just pushed him away and walked past.
"Wow..looks like somebodies got PMS." Jay laughed as he stood in the hallway laughing.
"Jay shut up." Sean said but it was too late Ellie slapped him in the face.
"Bitch."Alex shoved Jay out of the way and punched Ellie in the stomach. Ellie held her stomach for a second and then ran out of the house slamming the door shut. Marco followed her.
After seeing Alex slap Ellie, Sean ran at Alex punching her in the face knocking her down, then proceded to jump on her punching her in the face again.
"Whoa.." Jay pulled Sean off of Alex.
"Get your hoe outta my house!" Sean yelled.
"Hold on, Sean she hit me." Jay protested.
"You don't know what she just did." Sean screamed.
"Why don't you enlighten us?" Jay said.
"I don't have time to explain it to you." Sean said walking towards Ellie.
"Um..somethings wrong with Ellie." Marco rushed in the door.
"Shit...where is she?" Sean followed after Marco as he showed him where she was. Jay and Alex followed. Alex nursing her bloody nose. They found Ellie hunched over in a ball next to Jay's car.
"Ellie?" Sean walked over to her.
"Sean.."Ellie looked up at Sean with tears in her eyes. He looked down at her hands covered in blood just before she slumped over.
"Ellie...Jay come help me." Sean yelled taking Ellie in his arms.
"What?" Jay walked over.
"I need to get her to the hospital."
"Alright" Jay said opening the door. Sean climbed in the backseat with Ellie in his lap. Marco climbed in next to Sean and Alex got in the front. Jay spun out.
