Luke keeps texting me. Constantly. To be fair I haven't told him where I am and what happened but yesterday I was on FaceTime with Ryland and she explained the whole situation to me. And now I'm mad at Luke. And that's how I got here. At my dads house sitting on my bed with my eyes closed, avoiding everyone except Ryland and Mari.

I'm not going back to school until Tuesday of next week depending on how I feel.

It's Monday and I honestly have nothing to do. I decided to get off my butt and go do something. I walked out of my room and my phone started ringing. It was Luke.. again. I sighed and dropped my phone down on the table.

The noise hurt my head. I put my hand up to my head and sighed.

I grabbed my phone and texted Luke.

Ellie💙🦋
I'll be back on Tuesday. ❤️

I contemplated for a while about putting the heart there. I did it though just to make sure he knows I'm not that mad.

I put my head in my hands and sighed. My dad is at work and Eva, my dads wife, is out with the kids.

I'm honestly just bored and tired, my body hurts and I'm sad.

I would watch tv but it hurts my head. I would listen to music but that hurts my head. So all I can do is sit and think about yesterday.

"Ughhhh!" I sighed. I walked as quickly as I could up the stairs and into my room.

I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes quickly falling asleep.

I woke up around nine when three girls walked into my room. I looked around and noticed it was Ryland, Carter and Mari.

"Hey guys!" I smiled sitting up a little bit.

"Hey!" Carter said coming to sit on my bed.

"Good morning sleepy head." Mari chuckled and came to sit on my other side.

"We brought you food!" Ryland said excitedly.

"Guys it's 9:00 and you have school in the morning what are you doing here?" I questioned the three girls sitting up with a groan.

"So we wanted to bring you Chik-fil-a!" Ryland said shouting the last part.

"Oh my god Ry." I groaned. "The head."

"Oh right sorry." She chuckled. "Chik-fil-a!" She whispered.

"Better." I sighed and laid back.

"Here." Carter said handing me the waffle fries.

"So you aren't talking to Luke." Mari said from next to me.

"Yeah." I said sadly.

"You didn't break up with him right?" Carter asked.

"No defiantly not." I answered.

"Ok good." Mari smiled. "He was asking about you today."

"Yeah he's been texting me." I answered looking down.

"What was he saying?" Ryland asked.

"He just kept saying he's sorry and he's worried and stuff." I answered sadly.

"Yeah." Ryland answered. "He said you texted him once so I was just wondering."

"Yeah." I sighed and leaned back on my bed. Suddenly I could hear little footsteps in the hallway.

"Hey guys." I smiled as the twins ran into the room.

"Daddy said we could come hangout with you until the girls leave." Viv said climbing up on my bed.

"Ok." I smiled. Viv sat at the foot of my bed and Giorgio climbed right next to me. I love my siblings. I wish I could see them more often but they live pretty far from me.

The girls left about an hour ago. Again I'm tired. I laid back in my bed with Viv and Giorgio cuddled by my sides. We were watching bubble guppies when my phone started to ring.

I looked over and saw that Sasha was calling me. I slid the answer bar.

"Hey!" Sasha said excitedly.

"What's up?" I asked tiredly.

"Not much I'm just checking in." Sasha smiled from the other side of the camera. He was in a car.

"Who're you with." I asked groggily.

"Dylan." He stated. "We're goin to the store."

"At 11:30?" I chuckled.

"Yeah. You got a problem with that Elle?" He laughed.

"No it's fine." I responded laying down.

"Well we just wanted to see how your feeling and check in." Sasha said from the other side of the phone.

"Make sure your ok ya know?" Dylan also said.

"Yeah I'm ok." I sighed. "I'm feeling alright but I think it's from the meds." I laughed.

"Oh geez." Sasha laughed.

"Yeah they've got me on all these pain killers for my wrist." I said holding up the cast.

"Oh wow." Sasha answered. "What happened at the er?"

"Not much." I said because I honestly don't remember being at the er. "They just told me that I have a grade three concussion, a fractured wrist, and two separated ribs."

"Oh my god." Dylan said. "It was that bad?"

Sasha's POV
As soon as I got back I ran up the stairs to Luke's room. I busted through the door waking up Luke.

"Dude what the fuck!" He sat up surprised.

"Luke it's not good." I told him walking farther into the room.

"What's not good?" He asked. Then the realization hit him. "You talked to her?"

"Yeah." I answered. "Dylan and I FaceTimed her."

"What happened. Does she seem ok?" Luke frantically asked me.

"Yeah yeah she seems ok." I answered reassuring him. "She has a pretty bad concussion"

"So she's not ok?" Luke said cutting me off.

"I mean yeah I guess." I answered looking down.

"What else happened. Your not telling me something." Luke said worried.

"Yeah uh" I started off. "She also has two separated ribs and she also fractured her wrist."

Luke looked down and sighed. "No!" He screamed. He turned around and threw a pillow. Ha sat with his head between his heads. He sat up and sighed. "I'm gonna take a shower." Luke said and walked into his bathroom.

Luke's POV
I ran a hot shower and climbed in. Why did this have to happen. If only Tyler didn't have to talk with her none of this would have happened. I feel like this is all my fault. I could have kept Ellie from falling down the stairs if only we hadn't gotten into an argument.

I leaned against the wall. Elle would be just fine if it wasn't for me. I'm worried about her, she's my everything and I hurt her. This is my fault. I have to get her back.
