Disclaimer: Only Elle, her family, and the plot are mine. Nothing else.
Chapter 13:
"Elle hurry up and get your ass out of the shower!" Leigh yelled as he pounded her fist on the bathroom door. I sighed, shut off the water and stepped out of the shower, wrapping my towel around myself. I dried my arm around my cats and took off the plastic bag that was covering it. I opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.
"You try taking a fast shower with this stupid thing on your wrist." I snapped as I past Leigh. She rolled her eyes and closed the bathroom door as I walked over to my room. I shut the door behind me and slipped into a bra and underwear then walked over to my closet. I pulled out a pair of dark jeans, a gray tank top and my army green cardigan. I got dressed quickly, careful not to pull the stitches in my shoulder too much, and then dried my hair. I left it somewhat wet so it would curl, then I applied my usual makeup which consisted of dark silver eyeshadow, black liquid liner, mascara and a light orange-ish pink lipstick. I slipped on my socks and grabbed my boots then walked over to my bed, pulled them on and laced them up. I grabbed my giant pile of papers and books Logan had brought me and threw them into my bag. I grabbed my jacket, my bag and my crutches and went downstairs.
"Mom!" I shouted as I walked down the stairs.
"What honey?" She called from the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen where she was making lunch for Wesley, Kyle, the twins, and herself.
"Are you still going to let me use your car until I get a new one?" I asked. She nodded and pointed to her purse.
"They should be on top." She told me as she continues to make everyone's lunches. I grabbed them and walked over to her.
"Thanks mom." I said as I kissed her on the cheek and walked away. "Leigh, get your ass down here or I'm leaving without you!" I yelled up the stairs as I slipped on my jacket. Leigh ran down the stair just as I walked out the door.
"Bye mom." She said before running out to the car. "Lets go." She said as she jumped in the passengers seat of our mom's Suburban. I raised and eyebrow at her.
"You know you're gonna have to move in about 3 seconds right?" I asked as I saw Kendall walking out of his house and over to the car. Leigh rolled her eyes and jumped in the back as Kendall opened the passengers side door.
"No Katie?" I asked curiously. He shook his head.
"No, she's sick." He said. He sounded worried.
"She was fine last night though." I said as I started the car. Kendall shrugged.
"I know, but she woke up this morning and she was really sick. She's burning up." He said. "Mom's staying home with her and if she gets any worse she's taking her to the hospital."
"Well now who am I supposed to get in trouble with!" Leigh whined. I rolled my eyes at her.
"She'll be okay Kendall." I told him, squeezing his hand. He smiled and laced his fingers between mine. I smiled and looked in the rear view mirror at Leigh. "Leigh either put that out or give it to me, you can't smoke in mom's car unless the windows are down." I snapped. Leigh rolled her eyes handed it to me. I took a couple quick drags then threw it out the window before we pulled into the school parking lot. I shut off the car and we all got out. Kendall grabbed my crutches and handed them to me. I rolled my eyes at him.
"I didn't bring them because I was gonna use them. I brought them so my mom would think I'm using them." I told him. He rolled his eyes and took my bag.
"Just use them. Your leg will heal faster. Plus, you'll regret not bringing them once you have to walk around a lot." He said. I rolled my eyes at him but gave in and used them.
Kendall and I walked into the school to our first class. The entire time I had to resist the urge to punch all the people that were whispering and pointing. When we got to our first class we sat down and everyone started whispering again. I clenched my fist and bit the inside of my cheek until I tasted blood. I turned to Kendall when I felt his hand on my arm.
"Relax." he whispered. I sighed and clenched my fist even tighter. Today was going to be a long day.
Lunch
I sighed as I watched Kendall walk over to our lunch table with the guys. He set my tray down in front of my then sat down and started eating his own lunch.
"Hey, you're Elle right?" Some random girl asked as she walked up to me and the guys. I I looked at her with a confused look and nodded as I took a bite of my wrap.
"Yeah why?" I asked as I swallowed my food.
"I heard about the accident, how are you feeling?" She asked.
"Uh, fine?" I said, irritation rising in my voice. "Who the hell are you anyways?" I snapped.
"Oh, I'm Ashley, I sit at the table right across you." She said. God her voice was obnoxious.
"And you're talking to me why?" I asked. She shrugged.
"Well, I know you're friends with Kendall and I am too, so I figured I'd be nice and see how you're feeling." She said.
"Okay, well I'm fine. You can leave now, your voice is giving me a migraine." I snapped. She shrugged and smiled at me.
"Okay, bye Elle. Bye guys."She said happily. "Bye Kendall." She said, kissing him on the cheek and winking at him as she walked away. I glared at her as I clenched my fists and bit the inside of my cheek. It took every bit of my self control not to walk up to her and punch her.
"Uh, Ellie?" Carlos said, snapping my gaze away from the annoying blonde. I looked at him.
"Your eye's twitching." James told me. "Are you okay?" He asked. I nodded.
"Yeah, I just recognize her voice from somewhere and it's really annoying." I told them. It wasn't a complete lie. I did recognize her voice, and I know exactly where I recognize it from. She was the obnoxious girl on the phone when I called Kendall to see if he'd help my family unpack. I wasn't going to tell them that, or that I wanted to punch her because she fucked Kendall and just now kissed him and winked at him. I didn't even know why that made me want to punch her.
"Elle, your eye's twitching again." Logan said. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair.
"Sorry, she just irritates me." I said.
"Yeah, we can tell." Kendall laughed. I resisted the urge to glared at him and clenched my fist again instead. I felt Kendall rest a hand on my leg and squeeze gently to try and calm me down. I clenched my fist tighter and a minute later spoke.
"Hey Ashley!" I yelled. She looked over at me from her table and I gestured for her to come here. She got up and walked over here and I stood up facing her.
"Yeah?" She asked. I glared at her and before she could register what was happening I punched her as hard as I could. The people around us went silent looked over when they heard a loud crunch as my fist connected with her nose. She started crying as blood started flowing from her nose. Satisfied, I got up and walked away. I walked down the hallway until I reached a set of stairs, and I sat down.
"Elle!" I heard Logan yell from down the hall. I peeked around the corner so he could see me. He ran over to the stairs and sat down next to me. "Elle, what the hell did you do that for?" Logan asked in disbelief. I shrugged.
"She pissed me off." I said simply as I looked down at my boots.
"Elle, she left and you called her back over just to break her nose. You don't even know her." Logan said.
"Like I said. She pissed me off." I told him.
"What has she ever done to piss you off other than have an annoying voice?" Logan asked. I clenched my fists and stayed silent. "Elle?" He snapped.
"She fucked Kendall." I snapped. "She fucked him, she saw us together and she had to fucking rub it in."
"Elle, why do you care?" Logan asked.
"Why the fuck do you think I would care Logan?!" I snapped as I stood up. Logan's face softened when he realized it.
"You really like him don't you." Logan asked. I bit my lip and nodded.
"I tried not to punch her, I really did." I said, and it was true. "I just couldn't stop myself. I had to."
"Why do I feel like that punch wasn't just for her?" Logan asked.
"Because it probably wasn't." I sighed as I leaned against the wall. I groaned and rubbed my shoulder. "Probably shouldn't have hit her that hard."
"Yeah, you probably completely crushed her nose." Logan said.
"Yeah, and I can feel my stitches pulling like they want to tear again." I said. "I didn't punch her that hard, did I?"
"Elle, there have been a lot of fights where noses get broken in that lunch room. None of them were that loud. People on the opposite side of the cafeteria could hear her nose cracking" He laughed.
"Well, first day back and I'm gonna be suspended." I sighed, pushing myself off the wall. "Should probably go back to the cafeteria so they can call me down to the principals office."
"If it counts for anything, that was a pretty good hit." Logan laughed. I smiled as we walked down the hallway.
"Oh I know it was." I said with a smirk. Logan opened the cafeteria door and walked back to our table with me. The Vice Principal and the nurse were over by Ashley helping her. The vice Principal looked up and walked over to me and handed me a pass.
"Principals office at 1:30." He said sternly. I shrugged and took the paper then sat back down to finish my lunch.
"Ellie, why'd you hit her?" Carlos asked. I shrugged as I took a bite of my salad.
"Ask Kendall, I'm sure he's figured it out by now. He's smart." I told him. Carlos and James looked back and forth between me and Kendall who refused to look at me.
"What does Kendall have to do with this?" James asked with a confused expression.
"Like I said. He knows, so ask him." I said.
"Are you getting in trouble?" Carlos asked. I shrugged.
"Probably. Gotta go to the Principal's office during fourth block. Most likely I'm gonna be suspended for anywhere from a week to two weeks." I told him.
"You say that like this isn't your first time breaking someone's nose during lunch." Kendall snapped.
"It's not. I got suspended for two weeks in Chicago for beating the shit out of a guy that was harassing me, and then I almost got charged with assault." I snapped back. He rolled his eyes as he got up and left the table.
"Kendall, where you going?" Logan asked. Kendall didn't answer, he just kept walking. I sighed and covered my face with my hands. "I'll go get him." Logan sighed as he started to get up. I shook my head.
"No, I will. I need to fix this." I sighed and I got up and ran out of the cafeteria. I caught up to him fairly easily and stopped him right as he was about to walk out the side door. "Kendall?" I said quietly as I grabbed his wrist. He sighed and turned to face me.
"What." He snapped. I bit my lip and didn't say anything for a minute.
"I'm sorry." I said. "She just..." I trailed off. "I tried not to hit her, I really did, because I didn't want you to be mad at me but I lost it and I did and now you're mad at me and I just.. I'm sorry.."
"Why'd you hit her Elle?" He asked. I sighed and shook my head.
"Her voice." I said simply. Kendall raised and eyebrow at me.
"Her voice?" He asked. He shook his head. "You broke her nose because of her voice?"
"No, I broke her nose because I recognized her voice and she recognized mine." I told him.
"Oh that's a real good reason." He said sarcastically. I shook my head.
"Fine, want me to be more specific? I will. I'm not stupid. That's the girl you were fucking when I called you to see if you'd help me unpack before Ray Jay got there. And she's obviously not stupid either. She recognized my voice and probably heard my name. She can tell that I like you so she decided to rub in my face that she fucked you." I snapped. "You happy now? Was that specific enough for you?" Kendall stood there speechless.
"Elle.. I–" I shook my head.
"Just don't even bother. I shouldn't have done that, I don't even know why it bothers me so much. We're not together of anything so it's not really any of my business." I snapped before I turned around to leave. Kendall grabbed my arm and stopped me.
"Elle, she doesn't matter. Okay? It only happened a few times and that was before I was actually friends with you. I don't care about her, she was just there. It hasn't happened since then and you wanna know why? Because I felt guilty because I was sleeping with her, but I didn't even like her. Since you moved here you've been the only girl I can think about. Yeah, she's trying to rub it in your face, but she's doing that because she's jealous that you have what she wants." I rolled my eyes.
"Kendall she wants you, we're not together, I don't have you." I told him. He sighed and shook his head.
"We're not dating, but that doesn't mean I'm not yours. You're the only girl that I ever think about and I think about you constantly. I don't know what it is about you but you're always on my mind." He said.
"Yeah, I'm sure I am." I said sarcastically. He sighed and shook his head then grabbed both my shoulders. I pulled away from him violently.
"Elle, I'm serious, I'm not lying. You're the only girl for me, and if we're just friends then I'm okay with that. If we end up more than friends then great. I don't care as long as I have you." He said. I shook my head and backed away from him.
"Kendall just stop, okay?" I said. "I'm going to class now. See if Logan will bring my stuff to my class for me." I said as I turned to go to my class. I walked down the hallway and up the stairs to my next class. I got there 5 minutes early and sat down, burying my face in my arms. Logan showed up a couple minutes later with my crutches and my bag and to check if I was okay. I told him I would be, and he left to his class. When the bell rang the rest of the class walked in and so did Mr. Saris.
"Ms. Wolff, It's nice to see you back with us." Mr. Saris said nicely. I shrugged and handed him my pass.
"Not gonna be here long." I told him.
"Ms. Wolff, what did you do? He asked.
"She punch Ashley Philips in the face." Some kid in the back of the room shouted.
"Yeah, and if you don't shut your mouth it's gonna be you next!" I snapped at the kid.
"Ms. Wolf, please, try to have a good class while you can." He said before walking back up to his desk. I rolled my eyes and rested my head on the desk. The first half hour of class was boring as usual and around the time I was supposed to go to the Principal's office, the principal walked into class.
"Mr. Saris, I'm sorry to interrupt, but we have a new student for your class. He just transferred here from Chicago." He said. I immediately sat up, hoping it was my brother or one of his friends. When the Principal called the guy in, my heart stopped.
"This is Christopher Mathews." The principal told the class. "I hope you'll make him feel welcome here."
"Mr. Mathews, you can take the empty seat by Ms. Wolff." Mr. Saris said. Chris looked at me and smirked. I felt the color drain from my face instantly and I started shaking.
"Oh, there you are Ms. Wolff. You need to go to my office so we can discuss what just happened in the Cafeteria." the Principal said. I got up and grabbed my crutches, and followed the principal to his office. When we got to his office I sat down across from his desk and leaned my crutches against the wall.
"Ms. Wolff, can you explain to me why exactly you attacked Ms. Philips?" He asked nicely. I shrugged.
"Well, I didn't attack her, I just punched her and then left her alone." I told him. "And I don't really know why, there's some person problems between me and her and I guess I just kind of snapped. I tried not to but it didn't really work." I explained. He nodded slowly.
"Your medical record says you have severe anger issues, and you're on medication that could make it worse, so we're not going to suspend you. It's not necessarily your fault because you're on prescriptions that can alter your state of mind. Ashley isn't going to press charges either, but please Ms. Wolff. Don't let this happen again." He said.
"It won't." I promised.
"You can go back to class now, at least catch the last 5 minutes." He said.
"Thank you." I said as I got up and left. I walked back to class and when I got there the bell rang. The class cleared out as I grabbed my bag and then I left to go to my car.
"Hey Ellie." I heard Chris's smug voice behind me. I turned quickly and looked at him.
"What the fuck are you doing here Chris!" I snapped.
"I moved up here to be with you Ellie." He told me. I shook my head.
"Haven't you fucked my life up enough?" I hissed. "I moved to get away from you, why do you have to follow me? Are you trying to fuck up my life even more?"
"Ellie, all I want is you, that's all." He said. "You were so happy when you were with me." I laughed harshly.
"You're real funny." I told him. He walked up to me.
"Come on Ellie, I know you love me. Stop telling yourself that you don't" He said. I backed away from him as he walked toward me until I hit the wall.
"I'm not telling myself that Chris. It's the truth. I don't love you." I told him. I watched as a switch flipped in his head and his expression changed.
"Stop lying you dumb bitch!" He shouted, slamming his hands against the lockers on either side of my head. I shrieked and flinched.
"Chris stop it." I snapped, trying to hide the fear in my voice.
"Why don't you love me anymore Elle? Huh? Is it those stupid guys that you're always around? Is it one of them?" He asked angrily.
"No Chris, I don't love you anymore because you're an asshole!" I shouted in his face. He raised his hand and slapped me. It echoed down the hallway, but unfortunately no teachers heard it because they'd all left.
"You know you still love me Elle, I just need to show you." He said as he pressed his body against mine and kissed me forcefully. I tried pushing him off me and failed. His lips trailed down to my neck and my collar bone as he started to move his hand under my shirt.
"Kendall!" I screamed as loud as I could. Chris covered my mouth forcefully, slamming my head off the lockers.
"Shut up, you stupid bitch!" He snapped. I bit his hand and screamed for Kendall again. I heard familiar footsteps coming down the hall.
"Kendall! James!" I shouted as loud as I could. Sure enough, they ran around the corner. Chris immediately back off when he saw James and Kendall and ran out the side door across the hall. James and Kendall ignored him and ran over to me. Kendall immediately grabbed me and pulled me into a hug.
"What the hell happened?" James asked angrily. "I thought that asshole left town!" I shook my head.
"So did I, but I guess he moved here. He's in my science class." I said, my voice shaking.
"Why wouldn't you text one of us and let us know so we can walk you to you car without him bothering you?" Kendall asked.
"I– I didn't think about it." I stuttered. Kendall pulled me tighter to him in an effort to comfort me when he felt me shaking.
"Are you alright?" He asked as he kissed the top of my head. I nodded.
"Can we kill that son of a bitch?" James asked angrily.
"James he's not worth it." I told him. "It'll just make things worse."
"Let's just get her home." Kendall told James. James nodded and grabbed my bag and crutches and Kendall walked me to the car, keeping his arm tight around my shoulders. He helped my into the passengers seat and ran to the drivers side as James got in the seat behind mine.
Kendall drove James home quickly, and then drove back to my house. He pulled into the driveway, shut off the car and went around to my side to get my stuff and walk me into the house. We went straight up to my room since Leigh was home for Kyle, Wesley and the twins. Kendall dropped my stuff by the door as I walked over to my bed and sat down, still shaking slightly. Kendall came over and sat down next to me.
"You sure you're okay?" He asked. I shrugged and sat there, not saying a word. "Ellie?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." I said, my voice lacking almost all emotion.
"From now on either me or one of the guys will walk you to class and we'll be waiting for you when the bell rings." He promised. I nodded and leaned against him arm.
"I'm not suspended." I told him. "Apparently the medications I'm not taking are to blame, so I'm off the hook."
"Ashley's not pressing charges right?" He asked. "I wouldn't put it past her." I shook my head.
"No, the dumb bitch is smart enough not to." I said. "I just can't do it again or I'll actually get suspended."
"Well, hopefully no one else pisses you off." Kendall laughed.
"What did you see in her? Like why would you wanna sleep with her?" I asked suddenly.
"What did you see in Chris, why would you want to sleep with him?" He asked me.
"I asked you first." I snapped.
"I really don't even know the answer to that." He said. "And you?"
"He wasn't always like he his now. He used to be really sweet." I said. "And just because we dated doesn't mean I fucked him." I told him.
"Oh." he said. Then it clicked what I said. "Oh." He said again. "So you're.." he trailed off with a look of surprise on his face.
"Technically, yeah, I'm a virgin." I said rolling my eyes. "It's not a big deal."
"What do you mean technically?" He asked, a troubled expression crossing his face.
"That's something for another day." I told him. "You've learned enough about me for one day." I said as I leaned back on my bed, pulling Kendall with me. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close to his side so I could rest my head on his chest. Kendall mindlessly started playing with my hair and I smiled. I could stay like this forever.
So, what'd you think? Leave a review and Chapter 14 should be up soon(: Thanks for reading!
