Chapter 52

A week later

I kept going by my house in hopes everyone would be gone. Finally, it looked like everyone was out. I snuck into the house and it was quiet. I went into my bedroom, grabbed a change of clothes then got into the shower. Itd been a while since I changed anyway. I haven't even gone to school recently. Nor have I talked to Dallas.

I felt like I just needed a bit of time to cool off. I've had so much going on between all the fighting between the boys as well as me fighting with Sam. Its been overwhelming but now that I've been to myself for a few days I think im ready to stay home. Even if it means they all blow up on me for making them worry.

And I sure know Dallas will gave something to say about me being gone. My brothers probably blamed it on him again even though he's the best thing I have going for me right now.

I got out of the shower and went to my room. Tony chirped as he saw me and rubbed against my leg. I reached down and pet him before getting dressed.

I heard the front door open and close. I stood by my door trying to listen to see if I could tell if it was Sam or Blake but I couldn't tell. I looked out my window at the car and it was actually neither. It was my aunt. I exhaled and left my bedroom. When she saw me a great look of relief came over her.

"Elena." She opened her arms and walked towards me.

"How are you aunty?" I accepted her hug and she squeezed me tight.

"Where have you been?" She pulled from the hug but held onto my arms. "Samson and Blake have been out looking for you."

I looked away from her and shrugged my shoulders. "Ive just been... away."

She stared at me for a moment then pulled me into another hug, "they called me home so I knew it was serious."

"You can go back to work, Aunty. I'm fine." I laughed a little. "The boys are a little nuts."

She gave me a look then sat down, "im already off for the day. Might as well not go back."

"Well im sorry they made you come home. It was unnecessary." I shook my head.

The door opened and in walked Blake and Sam. They both stared at me but reacted very differently. Blake walked towards me and pulled me into a hug while Sam turned away and walked down the hall without saying anything to me.

I could tell Blake was upset with me for being gone, but he didn't want to pull away from the hug. He kissed my head and stepped back.

"Where did you go?" He hesitated to ask.

I looked away from him and shrugged, "nowhere."

"Elena," he sighed. "You really scared us."

"I needed to be alone."

He pulled me into another hug. "Don't run off like that again. I don't care how upset you are."

"Yeah whatever." I pulled away from him. "Have you talked to Dal?"

"Yeah. Well I've tried. We were all in the same boat with being worried about you Elena. Anderson talked to him for me though. Says Dal ain't too happy."

"Is he mad at me?" I asked.

"Youd have to talk to him Elena. I don't talk to Winston." He moved past me and gave our aunt a hug since he hasn't yet.

I walked into school and immediately Anderson grabbed my and pulled me aside.

"Man where the hell did you go?" He asked.

"Dont grill me, okay?" I rolled my eyes. "I gotta find Dal anyway."

"Good luck," Anderson chuckled. He grabbed my wrist as I tried walking away. "You doing okay?"

I smiled a little and nodded, "yes. I'm okay."

He smiled, "thats my girl." He let me walk away.

I seen Dally heading into our 1st period so I caught up with him. He saw me but rolled his eyes and walked into the class. I followed him in.

"Dally," I sighed.

"Look Elena if you want to play these games play them with someone else. I'm getting tired." He sat down. "I like you but you're starting to piss me off."

I put my backpack down and pulled my seat to be next to his desk. "Would you look at me?" I said quietly.

"Elena we can talk after school or something," he watched as his friends walked into the room. "Just not now."

I frowned and looked away, "You're not happy to see me?"

"Doll I knew this is what you were doing, okay? Make everyone worry about you then come back and let everyone hug and kiss you and tell you they were lost without you. I'm not them, El. I don't cry when you're gone, I don't pray that you come back and immediately go back to your old self. Because everything you do is for attention, Elena. Dated Austin for attention, you cause scenes between you and your brothers for attention. You don't talk to your friends so they wonder why for attention. You won't fucking get off your high horse and be with me because you love the fact that I'm willing to wait for you. You love that I've been begging for you. You don't love me Elena you love that I want you." He pushed my hand away from him. "Now sit in your seat and shut the hell up because I told you I don't want to talk. And go ahead, be mad at me for telling you the truth. I'm beginning to not give a fuck." He turned his body away from me and focused on his friends.

I felt a lump in my throat that I couldn't swallow. I slowly moved my seat back and pulled my notebook out along with a pencil. My eyes began to burn as I held back tears to accompany the lump in my throat but if I started crying itd prove Dally's point. I sunk into my seat and stared forward at the board as class was about to start.
