FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Chapter 8: Reunion (part 2)

Elliott's POV

I woke up on a bed wrapped in a blanket. I sat up and looked around the room. It was purple and there were tints of pink here and there. Jessie's room. How did I get up here? As if on cue the door opened and two persons walked in. I laid on the bed and covered myself in the blanket to pretend to be sleeping. They were talking. "She looks so peaceful in her sleep." A male voice said. I think I've heard it before...is that? Uh no! Not him!! I shifted in bed to turn my back to them . I opened my eyes and squinted them slightly so it looked as though my eyes were closed. "She is sure to be surprised to see you. I promise this will be a KNOCKOUT surprise for her." That was a girl. She sounded like .... Chloe. No doubt it was. I turned back in that direction to face them. To what I can see squinting at them, Chloe was smirking and Louis was looking really worried. What? Him worried. He should be scared. I wanted to jump at him and slap him senseless for all he had done to me. Then all of a sudden Chloe winked at me. "You should probably go. I'm going to wake her up and you might not want to be in here, so bye!" She waved him off. He quickly walked to the door,"Can I see her after she wakes up?" He asks stepping out of the door. "Sure? Yeah." She answered back the first part as a question. As he closes the door, she turns back to face me. "You can get up, he's gone now." She says coming closer. "Thanks for not blowing that for me. What a creep." I whispered to her. She softly chuckles at this and sits on the bed. "Why did you faint earlier? I was really worried." She asks. "Well you see that guy?" I asked in a whisper. She nods slowing telling me to continue. "I met him in middle school. I was the new kid and back then I used to wear glasses and braces so I was not the most attractive girl in school. When I turned 13 my mom took me to get my braces removed and then she got me contacts because, I was constantly being picked on because of the way that I looked by the most popular girl in which at the time was, Chelsea Brownsmith. After my change in looks she always found a way to pick on me because of I was never good enough for her." I took in a breath and looked Chloe in her dark brown eyes and continued. "I had changed my attiring, I started wearing make up because she was, I tried and tried so hard to please her but nothing was working. One day after school was dismissed I went to my locker to get my books and I found her there waiting impatiently for me. I greeted her nicely and asked her to move because she was in front of my locker. She looked at me and then pushed me on the ground." I started to tear up but I didn't wipe them away. I continued. "She helped me up and dragged me to the girl's bathroom. She pushed me again and I hit my head on the floor. She started kicking me saying that I was worthless and that I don't deserve to live and that I should just kill myself. She dragged my head and hit it against the sink continuously and I crying telling her to stop it but she just continued until I started to bleed. She washed the blood off her hands and left me in there. I got up and went to the mirror. I looked at my reflection and thought I was nothing compared to her. I can never impress her, that I really didn't deserve to live any more. I washed blood away and cleaned myself up. I walked back into the halls. As I was walking I heard people talking about me and it was not the good kind of talking. I went back to my locker changed me books and I headed outside. As I was walking someone tripped me and I fell down. I saw a hand offering to help me up and I took it. It was him. He walked me home and he told me that the only reason that Chelsea treated me like that was because she was jealous of me. He told me that I didn't need to change who I was just because she didn't like me. When I was 14 he asked me to be his girlfriend. He was my first real friend since I moved here and my first boyfriend. He was really sweet and charming to me that I didn't realise he was cheating on me. I was waiting for him in front of school because he usually walks me home. I waited 30mins and then went to look for him because I was really worried. I asked people if they had seen him and they told me that he was in the gym. When I went there I felt to just break down right there at what I had seen. After all we had been through he cheated on me with person that had done some much harm to me, Chelsea. I gasped and ran away sobbing uncontrollably. I guess he realised I had seen because moments later he was calling after me while I was running. I started running home when someone grabbed my forearm. I turned to face him. "Elliott I'm sorry." He says. "She kissed me." He says."I don't give a f**k!" I say "Were through!" I shout and ran away from him. It hurt me badly that he would that to me after all that I had been through and the worst part was that the next day at school, him and Chelsea were making out in front of my locker. Do you know how hard that is for me to see my cheating ex-boyfriend with my bully and now after 2years at my best friend's house for a pool party?" I was crying uncontrollably now and the more that I tried to stop the more the tears came down. I looked over at Chloe and she was crying as well. " I am so sorry you had to go through that. I know what your going through and I can say from experience that it gets better. You just need to hold on and just keep pushing. The wounds of time will heal and you will be better than ever. And just know that I will always be there for you. Even if me and Enrico break up just know we will still be friends. Okay?" Chloe asked holding my hands. "Okay thanks ,Chloe. I forgot there was an upside to that story. When I ran home he followed I told Enrico and he got so angry that he beat the living sh*t outta _________. You could seriously see the steam coming out of his ears." I laughed wiping the tears from my eyes. Chloe laughed too after she wiped away her tears. "Come on. Let's go clean up our faces. You look flushed and I'm sure I do too." I nodded at Chloe and walked to the bathroom in the room. I washed the tear stains away and then washed out my eyes. I looked through the cupboards to find anything useful. NOTHING! Nada, zilch, zip,zero... I walked back into the room to find none other than Louis on my phone. I quickly yet quietly walked over to him to see what he was looking on. It was the pictures I took of ...us. It was really old. We were at the park. I was smiling brightly at the camera. He had alot of icecream on his face. I remember it like it was yesterday.
