Ellie stood by her locker, her eyes staring off into space, well, mainly the contents that resided in her locker. She caught a glimpse of someone that she recognized from her past; in slow motion, she turned her attention towards the direction of that certain someone. A gasp suppressed from her lips as she saw him walking towards her, very happy and relieved to see her standing there. Eliie, very confused, uttered his name, wondering why he was here of all places. "Sean?"
Sean approached her, his eyes staring deeply into her own. He had a gaze of love and one of longing. It had been a very long time since he had seen her and he remembered that he had broken up with her that one fateful day he was in Wasaga Beach. "Ellie" He whispered to her, his voice quaking with trepidation. He stepped towards her, but Ellie backed up, her hair falling in front of her face.
"Sean, please...don't." Ellie didn't know what to think at the moment. Here was Sean, standing in front of her, wanting to hug her. She couldn't let him; she didn't want him to in the first place. He had broken her heart and she had sworn to herself that she wouldn't get back together with him because he lived so far away now. Her motto was that guys suck. Not anymore though. The whole summer she had been crushing on Craig and luckily Ash had finally broken ties with him, as she had a new boyfriend, one in London. So, Ellie finally relieving herself of her shyness got together with Craig and are now a couple.
"I can't do this. You broke my heart." She said in a whisper, but firmly.
"Ell, I missed you. I missed you the whole time I was with my parents. I've been wanting to see you this whole time."
"Why did you bother coming back here, Sean? I've moved on..." She said this in a very serious tone. Ellie was starting to heat up, she was getting more upset by the minute. She did have the right to be mad at him, though. He did break her heart, deserting her after she had just gotten away from her mother, away from cutting her flesh. "I'm with Craig now."
"Ell, I wish I could have come back sooner, but I had to sort my life out. I mean, every single part of it. I...I love you, I really do..."
"Sean, don't...I can't hear that. I don't want to hear you say that you love me. It's over between us; you know that since you're the one that did break up with me. Just leave...go..."
Ellie gave him a stern look, tears welling up in her eyes as she turned around. He too did have tears in his eyes, tears of sadness. Why was she doing this? He wondered that much at the moment. He watched her walk away and as she turned the corner, he made his way towards the exit of the school. He'd have to talk to her again sometime, make it up to her somehow. He needed to let her have some time to think this through.
And she was with Craig? What was that business. Sean usually didn't get jealous about relationships, but this irked him just a bit. Wasn't he with Ashley? What was this business?
Ellie's heart was pacing very fast and she had the feeling that the students all around her could see her heart thumping against her chest. Why did he have to come back now? And here? Didn't he understand that it was over between them? So why is he here now telling her that he loves her?
A single tear fell from her eye as she spotted Craig and Marco standing by their lockers talking to each other.
"Dude, Marco, that gig last night was SO awesome! We kicked major butt!"
"Man, the look on their faces when we finished the last song was so awesome! Of course we couldn't do it without our awesome drummer, Ellie!" Marco said as Ellie approached them. She smiled weakly, but distorted her face back to the frown, which she had had for the past few moments. "Ellie, what's wrong?"
Ellie stepped towards them, lowering her head and then brushing a few strands of her hair from her face. "Sean...he's back. He's here..."
"What? He came back? When, how?" Craig stared at Ellie in disbelief. He had thought it was over between them. Obviously there was something that was upsetting her.
"Yeah. He said...he said that he still loved me." She bit her lower lip, "I'm scared, confused, I don't understand."
Craig held her in his arms, "Ell, don't cry, he's gone now, he's not here."
Smiling just a bit, Ellie wiped her tears away, "Thanks Craig, I feel better." She kissed him on his cheek and looked at Marco. She smiled. Truth be told, she was still upset about this matter. "I'll see you two later for practice. I need to head home for a while. Bye Marco, Craig." She turned around and started heading out of the school. Marco looked at Craig.
"If Sean does anything to her... and I mean, anything..." Craig said under his breath.
"Just leave it Craig, maybe it's not as big as you think..."
Sean was quite upset when he left the school. Ever day, every night he would be thinking about Ellie. Why hadn't he ever called her? Fear, perhaps, fear of being deserted or hated for what he did. Well, he was hated, hated for ruining a perfect relationship by moving in with his parents, who wanted to be parents for him again. Sean shook his head; maybe it was over between Ellie and he. He wished it weren't so, he wished that there was some way he could make it up to her. He spotted a local supermarket and headed inside. Roses would be a nice gift, he thought.
After spending a few moments inside the market, Sean came out with red roses wrapped with baby's breath, plumosa and leather fern. It looked absolutely beautiful. "Ellie is more beautiful than this bouquet," he thought to himself. Sean kept on walking, walking until he found the place where Ellie lived. He knew she wasn't going to be home, but there was always a chance in which she was. He rang the doorbell, his finger quivering in fear...
The door opened, a surprised Mrs. Nash opened the door. "Well, I hadn't expected to see you come around these parts. Didn't you run away to Wasaga Beach to cry with your parents?" Sean stared at her in awe. It was true; no one did like him.
"Umm, I came here to see Ellie...please Mrs. Nash...I have to..."
"And what makes you think I am going to let you see her? I told her that you were a bad influence on her from the start...I am glad you left her..."
"I..." Sean gripped his left hand and turned around. "Just forget it..."
"Good." Mrs. Nash closed the door and Sean walked off in anger. Little did he know that he was just about to bump into someone unexpected, or maybe it's expected at the very least. As he turned the corner, there he saw her, the most beautiful angel that he had ever seen, Ellie Nash. She was staring at the ground, her head hung in despair. Sean ran towards her, she looked at him, a quizzical look appearing in her eyes. "I thought I told you to leave me alone..."
"Ell, please...forgive me..." He handed the roses to her.
"I can't. I won't...I don't want to..."
She took the roses and threw them on the ground. "Giving me roses isn't going to change my mind about you, or Craig or anyone..."
She turned around. "Now leave me alone, please..."
Sean followed after her, his eyes prying into her back. She paced herself a bit faster, this time striding into a run. Sean ran after her, she wasn't quick enough. He grabbed her from behind and turned her around. "Ouch Sean! You're hurting me!"
He pressed his lips against hers, pulling her closer to him. Ellie resisted and pushed him off of her. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" She slapped him really hard across the face. "Never...I repeat never do that to me again..."
Sean placed his hand upon his cheek, staring at her in awe. "I...I..." Tears welled up in his eyes..."Ell...I love you..."
"Well, I don't love you anymore...Get over me..." She walked right past him and started running to her house.
Sean stared and screamed after her, "THIS ISN'T OVER ELLIE NASH! NOT THE SLIGHTEST BIT!"
