Secrets, Bruised and Broken - Part 2 / Danisnotonfire Fanfiction

Chapter 23. Moving Forward

I stormed back to my flat, wiping the tears off my face, even tho they continued to fall. I should have saw this coming, I should have known better. I wasn’t crying because I was pregnant, hell I didn’t give him enough time to react about that. I was crying because of the way he was acting, I’ve been treated like shit before, so I could take it. The only difference is, I actually cared about him and I just never thought he’d treat me like that. I pushed open my flat door, all I wanted to do was lay on the sofa, eat a tub of ice cream and cuddle with Bernie. Once I entered my flat, I immediately heard voices and I knew someone was here ( Ugh! ). ” Ellie? ” I heard Scottie ask, ( Here we go ) I thought to myself. ” Yeah… ” I sighed, he quickly walked over to me. ” Are you okay? What happened? Have you been crying? ” he asked, all I did was pull him into a hug. I guess that answered any questions he had ( Even tho I knew it really didn’t ), after we pulled away from each other, we walked into the lounge. Where Alec and Alice were sitting, I smiled, but only because I saw Liam and Lyle. I reached out for Lyle, Since Liam was asleep in Alice’s arms. Alec quickly handed him to me as I sat on the sofa, ” Ellie, I know about…. ” Alec sighed. I nodded, ” It’s okay, it’s all in the open now ” I stated rocking Lyle back and fourth ( Alice probably told him ). ” So, he know’s? ” Alice questioned, I nodded. ” Well, how did he react? ” Scottie questioned, I shrugged ” I don’t know, he was too busy acting like an asshole, I don’t care anymore “. The three of them looked at me strangely, ” What does that mean? ” Alice asked. I sighed, ” I’m sick of crying over this guy, I’m sick of trying. I’m done being his friend, I’m not ever going to be in a relationship, I’m finished with Dan all together ” I stated. ” And what about the baby? ” Alec asked, ” Well, I’m going to be a mom. I’ll love this baby with every bone in my body, and if Dan wants to see the baby he can, but I don’t want anything to do with him ” I smiled slightly. Alec quietly cheered ” I’m going to be an Uncle! “, I rolled my eyes but smiled. ” And little Lyle and Liam will have a cousin ” Alec whispered to Lyle, who giggled at his own father. ” So have you eaten anything today? ” Scottie asked me, I shook my head. ” Well then, let’s get some lunch! ” Alec exclaimed, which caused me to smile.

A few hours later, Scottie and I were sat on the sofa’s, in the dark watching Netflix ( What’s New? ).    ” So, I know it’s early in your pregnancy, but do you have a preference of what you’d want? ” Scottie asked randomly, I looked at him confused. He smiled ” Boy or girl, which would you like? ” he questioned, ” Hmmm…. I really don’t mind. I will love this baby no matter what ” ( I was really feeling quite mature now, I couldn’t put myself first anymore, I had another life to start thinking about ). He nodded and smiled, seconds later there was a knock on my flat door. I sighed and looked at Scottie with Puppy dog eyes ( I just didn’t want to get up ), he chuckled ” I’ll get it “. I smiled widely at him, he quickly got up and answered the door. I listened to see if I could hear who it was, ” Hey Scottie, is Ellie here? ” I heard Phil ask. ” Yeah, but I’m not sure if she wants to talk to anyone right now ” Scottie sighed, I sighed to myself. ” Scottie, it’s Phil, just let him in ” I yelled, I then waited a few minutes until I heard the door close. That’s when Phil walked into the lounge, he was nervous, I could tell. He sat down on the other sofa with a timid smile, ” Hey Elle ” he sighed quietly. I sighed with half of a smile on my face, ” Hi…. Are you here because of Dan? ” I asked. He shook his head no, ” I came to make sure you were alright. Ellie, I don’t know why he’s acting this way ” Phil sighed with a frown. I glanced down, ” Well, she’s fine ” Scottie spoke up. I sighed, ” Phil, Did you hear everything I said to Dan? ” I asked him. He nodded, ” Then, I don’t care why he’s acting like this. I’m not gonna be his friend anymore, I meant that. I can’t keep doing this, I’m having a child, I’m done with these back and fourth games ” I sighed. ” And I believe you…. But what I was wondering is, Are we still friends? ” he asked quietly, I smiled ” Phil, you’re not Dan. So yes, we’re still friends “. He stood up and plopped down on the sofa next to me, where he hugged me tightly. ” So, what were you guys watching? ” he asked, Scottie and I chuckled. Phil quickly made himself comfortable on the sofa next to me, then we sat around watching Netflix all day. You can probably guess what happened, yes that’s right, I fell asleep again. I was woken up when a blanket was draped over my body, I slowly opened my eyes and smiled at Scottie. ” I’m awake ” I yawned, I slowly sat up realizing Phil was now gone. ” Where’s Phil? ” I questioned, Scottie smirked ” Elle, it’s 1 am “. I let out a deep sigh, ” Well, I was going to go home, you don’t need me for anything, do you? ” he asked, I thought for a second. ” Nah, I’ll be alright ” I smiled, he nodded ( I think he was a little disappointed, I think he wanted me to ask him to stay. But I can’t lead him on like that, I was moving forward and crossing boys out of my life. No More relationships for me ). ” Goodnight Elle, I’ll see you tomorrow ” he smiled, ” Night Scottie ” I sighed. After Scottie had left, I had this empty feeling in my chest, like my heart had shattered and the pieces had dissolved. Their was nothing left, butt hen again it was my choice and it was my fault. I didn’t even have enough strength to walk to me room, I just slept on my sofa.
