Disclaimer: I only own Elle. BTR isn't mine:(
Chapter 18:
"Leigh, hurry up! I have shit to do!" I shouted from the car where Katie and I were waiting for her and Kendall. She rolled her eyes.
"Why don't you yell at your boyfriend, he's not in the car yet either." SHe snapped. I rolled my eyes.
"First of all, he's not my boyfriend." I said glaring at her. "And second. How can i yell at him if he's all the way across the parking lot!"
"You had no problem yelling at me from across the parking lot." SHe said as she got in the car.
"Yeah, well you're my sister. it's my job to yell at you." I told her as i looked around the parking lot for Kendall. I rolled my eyes when I saw him walking toward my car with Ashely. When he finally got to the car he got in. Ashely tried to but i locked the door before i could.
"Why's the door locked?" She asked, i smirked at how iritated she was.I shrugged.
"I don't like having whores in my car." I said simply. Katie and Leigh laughed but Kendall glared at me.
"Elle, let her in the damn car and stop being a bitch. It's not like she's going to your house too." He snapped.
"It's my car. I say who can and can't be in here and i don't want any stupid hoes in my car." I told him.
"It's your mom's car not yours." He snapped as he reached over and unlocked the door Ashley was standing by and let her in.
"If i catch any diseases from you I'll kill you." I warned her. She gave me a nasty look and I rolled my eyes as I started the car and pulled out of the school parking lot. No one spoke the entire ride home, well, loudly at least. Katie and Leigh were sitting in the back of the car whispering to each other while Ashley, Kendall and I stayed silent. When I pulled into my driveway, I shut off the car and jumped out as fast as I could.
"Hey Elle, can Leigh come over?" Katie asked as she and Leigh got out of the car. I shrugged.
"Sure, just stay out of trouble." I said. They both nodded and ran toward the Knight's house. I leaned against the car waiting for Ashley and Kendall to get out. I glared at them both as they walked past, and I stuck my leg out in front of Ashley, causing her to trip. I laughed quietly to myself and walked over to my house. I walked into the house and dropped my bag on the floor. I smiled when Sage ran down the stairs to greet me. I knelt down to pet her.
"Hi baby." I smiled as she jumped up and licked my face. "How was your day? Catch any squirrels for me today?" Sage barked and licked my face again. I sighed and stood up then walked to the kitchen to get food.
"Don't you think you sound a little crazy talking to your dog?" I jumped and turned around at the sound of Chris's voice.
"What the fuck are you doing in my house!?" I asked him. He shrugged as walked over to the island, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"The door was unlocked so I figured I'd stop by and say hi." He said simply. I glared at him. "Oh, your dad says hi too, by the way. You were really rude last time you saw him, you should really apologize to him. You hurt him Elle."
"Get out of my house Chris." I said sternly.
"Why? I'm not doing anything wrong, I just stopped by to see you." He said. I glared at him.
"Would you get it through your thick skull, I don't want to see you!" I shouted at him.
"Yeah you do, I wouldn't be here if you didn't." He said with a smile.
"You are one of the last people I would ever want to see, second only to my dad." I told him.
"I'm hurt by that Eleanor." My dad's voice said from behind me. I turned around to see him standing behind me. I backed away from him slowly.
"Why are you here?" I asked him as I backed into the corner of the kitchen.
"I wanted to see my baby girl." He said. "Where's your sister? I haven't seen her yet. I'm assuming she grew up to be a beautiful young woman. I mean you did, and Ray Jay is quite the handsome man."
"Leigh isn't here." I snapped. "She's at a friend's house."
"You mean next door?" He asked. My jaw tightened and I bit the inside of my cheek.
"How do you know that?" I asked. My dad shrugged.
"I've been keeping an eye on you two. Leigh is friends with that little Katie girl next door, and you, you seem to have an eye for the boy over there. What's his name Chris?" He asked.
"Kendall Knight."
"Right, Kendall. He seems to be a nice boy. I don't think he looks at you the same way you look at him though. I mean he has that blonde girl over there doesn't he?" I glared at him.
"We're friends, nothing more. I don't care if he's with other girls, he can do what he wants." I snapped.
"Well, as long as you say so. I don't blame him for having that blonde girl over. You may be a beautiful young woman Eleanor, but that girl has you beat in certain areas." He said. I rolled my eyes.
"I have to agree with your dad Elle, you're beautiful and all, but Ashley is crazy hot, and she's wild in bed. Not that anyone would know what you're like in bed because you're such an uptight prude." Chris said. I glared at him as I grabbed the cook book behind me and threw it at him. He laughed when it missed him. "I think I hit a nerve." He laughed.
"Calm down Eleanor." my dad laughed as I glared back and forth between Chris and him. My head snapped away from them when I heard a knock on the door. I ran out of the kitchen to the front door. I opened it to see James and Logan standing on my porch. I glanced back and forth between them.
"Hey Ellie, you alright?" James asked. I shook my head and grabbed them both by the arm, pulling them into the house.
"Elle, what's wrong?" Logan asked.
"My dad and Chris are in the kitchen." I told them as I walked behind James. I watched as both Logan and James tensed immediately and headed toward my kitchen. They both stopped in the door way and looked around.
"Ellie, no one's here?" James said as he turned to look at me. A troubled expression crossed my face and I pushed past him. I looked around the kitchen, no one was there.
"Are you sure you weren't just imagining things?" Logan asked. I shook my head.
"No, they were here, I swear! Chris, he was sitting right at the island and my dad was standing in the other door way." I said as I looked around frantically.
"You're sure they were here?" Logan asked. I nodded and Logan sighed. "I'll run next door and see if Kendall or Katie saw anyone leave from the back door or if they're hiding around here." He said as he walked back toward the door.
"Are you sure you weren't just seeing things? I mean you look really tired Ellie." James asked. I shook my head.
"No, James I swear to God they were right here!" I snapped as I looked around the room.
"Alright, alright. Let's just go sit down until Logan gets back." James said, wrapping his arm around my shoulder as he lead me to the living room. He sat down on the couch and I sat next to him, leaning my head on his shoulder. "So are you and Kendall not talking? I'm surprised he's not over here." He said. I nodded.
"He's an asshole." I mumbled as I played with the sleeve of my shirt. "I gave him and that stupid hoe a ride home, I wouldn't be surprised if they're over there fucking." I rubbed my eyes as I felt warm tears forming, threatening to spill over.
"I doubt they are Ellie, Kendall's a better guy than that." James said. I laughed.
"Sure he is. That's why he said yes to that dumb bitch right in front of me." I snapped.
"He's trying to make you jealous Ellie. He wouldn't go so far as to fuck her though." James assured me. I didn't believe him. I sighed and we both sat there on my couch as we waited for Logan to come back. Ten minutes later, he walked through the front door.
"Well, no one saw anyone around your house, but I"m officially scarred for life." Logan said as he sat down on the couch. James and I looked at him with confused expressions.
"Why?" James asked hesitantly.
"Kendall and Ashley. I don't recommend going over there until she leaves. Maybe even after." Logan said. My jaw tightened instantly and I felt the tears in my eyes threatening to spill. I pushed myself up off the couch and ran up to my room, slamming the door behind me. I refused to let James and Logan see me like this. It was ridiculous for me to be reacting like this. Kendall and I aren't together, I shouldn't care what he does with other girls. I sighed and dropped to the floor and leaned against my bed frame as I let my tears finally fall.
"Ellie? You alright?" James asked from the other side of the door.
"Go away." I said, trying to keep my voice from shaking.
"Elle, please don't cry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything." Logan said.
"Go away!" I said again.
"Not gonna happen Ellie, now open the door before we either pick the lock or break the door." James said seriously.
"It's not even locked." I snapped. Neither of the boys said anything for a minute and then the walked in. "Told you."
"We thought you locked it, you usually do." Logan said. I shook my head,
"Nope, but I should have. I just want to be alone." I said as I wiped my eyes with my sleeve.
"No can do pretty lady," James said as he sat down next to me. "We have to make you smile and laugh before we leave." I rolled my eyes and shook my head.
"Look, nothing against you guys but I really prefer to be alone when I'm upset." I told them. James and Logan hesitated but nodded.
"Alright, we'll leave, but I you need anything, call us, we'll be at Logan's." James said as he hugged me. I nodded.
"I will." I promised him. "Bye guys." I said as they walked out.
"Oh, and Elle," James said running back into my room as I stood up. "Here's some money to get you ready for the dance. Hair, dress, shoes, whatever." He said, dropping some cash in the drawer of my nightstand. He hugged me again then left. I sighed and sat down on my bed for a minute, then got up and walked downstairs to the living room. I grabbed the remote, sat down on the couch and turned on the TV to TNT which was playing Charmed. Sage yipped at me then jumped up on the couch with me. I layed on the couch watching Charmed until 6:30 when my mother came home with the twins, Kyle, Wesley, and Darin.
"Hi Honey." My mom said, giving me a half hug as she walked into the house.
"Hi." I said quietly. My mom gave me a funny look.
"You alright?" She asked. I nodded and rubbed my eyes.
"Yeah mom, I'm just tired." I told her.
"Alright." She shrugged before walking away to the kitchen. She stopped and turned back to me. "Oh, by the way, Kendall's outside waiting for you." She said. My jaw tightened and I sighed but nodded. I grabbed my cardigan off the back of the couch and fixed my beanie before I walked outside to see Kendall sitting on my porch steps.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him harshly as I rocked on my heels. He turned around and looked at me.
"I'm sorry Elle, I don't know what I was thinking. James and Logan told me how much what I did hurt you and–"
"Save it." I snapped. "Just save it. I've told you absolutely everything you wanted to know about me and more. You know about my dad and Chris and his friends, you know about how much I've had to move, you know about my multiple step fathers, you know about my mental disorders, hell, you even know how much I fucking like you, yet you go and pull this bullshit just because I called some girl you used to fuck a stupid hoe and a dumb bitch? Do you have any idea what this feels like? To have Logan come back here and tell me that he walked in on you and that stupid bitch fucking? It literally felt like someone stabbed me in the chest. If you were trying to make me jealous like James said, it fucking worked. I hope you're happy."
"Elle, let me explain, please." He begged. I stood there with my arms crossed over my chest.
"Fine. Explain."
"I didn't think what I did was going to hurt you. You were pissing me off with your attitude toward Ashley so I figured I'd piss you off and say I'd go to the dance with her and we could hangout. I thought it'd just piss you off, not that I'd actually hurt you. When Logan and James came over here and told me how upset you were, I felt horrible. I'm really sorry I hurt you Ellie, I really am, and I promise you, I won't do it again. I never meant to in the first place." He said sincerely. I looked at him, my eyes hot with tears and my jaw clenched tight. I swallowed hard before I spoke, trying to keep my voice steady.
"You told me there wasn't anything between you and her anymore. That I didn't have to worry about her and you weren't going to fuck her anymore. You made a promise to me and you broke it like it was no big deal. Weren't you supposed to be the guy that never broke promises? Especially promises to people you cared about?"
"Elle, I wasn't thinking straight, I didn't mean to break a promise or to hurt you. Please, just forgive me and go to the dance with me?" He begged. I shook my head.
"I already have a date and you're supposed to be going with Ashley." I said simply. He frowned.
"Who are you going with?" He asked.
"James." I told him. He looked angry. "Don't even think about getting mad at me or him. It took him ten minutes of begging to get me to go with him. And the only reason I'm going with him is because I was really looking forward to this dance and I was going to ask you but Ashley got to you first so James is going with me as a friend."
"You'll get your feet stepped on slightly less." He said with a small laughed.
"That's what I've been told." I nodded and laughed slightly. We both stood there awkwardly for a minute.
"Make sure you save a dance for me." HE said. I nodded slowly.
"We'll see." I told him. He nodded and turned to walk back to his house. He stopped at the sidewalk.
"Why'd Logan come over earlier?" He asked.
"Wanted to know if you saw anyone leaving my house earlier other than my family." I told him.
"Why?"
"I got home and Chris and my dad were in the kitchen. I'm still not exactly sure if I was hallucinating of if they were really there." I explained.
"Call me next time something like that happens." He said sternly.
"It probably won't happen again. It was most likely my imagination."
"Well, make sure you lock your house and call me if something like that happens again." He said. I nodded.
"Alright." I said simply. "Night Kendall." I said before walking back in my house. I walked up the stairs to my room, shutting the door behind myself as I walked over to my closet and pulled out sweatpants and a tee shirt. I changed quickly then shut of the light and climbed into bed.
