Chapter 19:
(Harry's POV)
I started running around. I needed to think, not just about Ellie and that she is dead but also that it didn't make sense. She wasn't like me when I was dead, I tried to spend as much time with her as possible where as she is running away from me.
I love you
I remember her telling me those three words. Wait a second, she never said that earlier. We said it as a goodbye just in case and she never said it. I ran around shouting her name, hoping that she would turn up out of nowhere and tell me.
"Ellie!" I shouted turning a corner. I saw her turn around I turned around. I stopped and stared. She was stunning, even in death. I came out of my daydream and walked towards her.
"Ellie" i said catching my breath. She gazed straight into my eyes as I held it together. She looked like she had just been crying also.
"Harry" she said.
"You never said it" i stated making a point about it
"How did you find me?" She asked looking around.
"That doesn't matter, you never said it" i said trying to stick to the conversation at hand
"Said what?" She asked not picking up on what I was on about
"I love you" i said.
"Well I didn't think I would have needed to, I thought it was obvious" she said. I loved it when she got to the point, she was also so blunt that you knew where you were standing with her.
"Oh okay" i stuttered not expecting that response
"Well I love you" she said as she wiped away the tears and then tapped her left upper arm with her right hand.
"I can't do this" she said walking off. What the? What is she on about? What can't she do? So many questions are running through my head which are receiving no answers
"Can't do what?" I asked confused about what she was talking about. She stood there looking down at the floor.
"Well?" I asked getting anxious. Maybe she wants to officially break up? No
"Please ... Don't" she said obviously not wanting to.
"Ellie I'm just confused. What's going on?" I said trying to make sense of it all. She huffed as more tears came out of her precious eyes. Too many tears for an angel to cry.
"I - I" she stuttered. She looked up to face me before she spoke. I can see this was going to be a deep conversation.
"I lied" she sobbed.
"What?" I said shocked. She lied? About what?
"I'm not dead" she said crying her heart out.
"But ...?" I said putting my hand through her arm.
"I'm sorry" she said .different emotions and thought's are running through my head.
"I'm so confused" I said running my hand through my hair
"I did it to protect myself, to protect us" she said as she if she was trying to convince me of something.
"You could have told me" I said
"You were gone, I couldn't get ahold of you" she said wiping her tears. I didn't know what to say, I decided to listen to her side.
"I needed to act fast, Liam was panicking and I was putting my mum in a position I didn't want her to be in" she said
"Liam knew I was with Simon, he could of-" I said before she cut me off
"You were with Simon?" She asked sounding slightly pissed off
"Yeah, you knew this" I said
"Actually no I didn't" she said
"Well I was with Simon" I said as she huffed and crossed her arms
"Really? After everything he's done" she said
"I did this for myself, so I wouldn't have him hanging over me for the rest of eternity" I explained as the conversation slowly turned into a argument.
"Wow" she whispered as she looked around. Nobody was around, there was no scene we were creating, it was just me and her
"You lied Ellie" I said bringing us back to the subject
"Well I lied for us" she said putting her hands in her pockets
"You promised, no lies, that was the deal" I stated reminding her
"I know but I lied with reason" she said.
"So where does this leave us now?" I asked putting my hands in my pocket
"I don't know" she stuttered. We stayed there for a minute not talking but staring deep into each other.
"Do you want to finish?" She asked looking down
"Do you?" I asked
"No" she said looking up
"That's good because I don't want to either" I replied. I wanted to hold her tight out of relief that she was alive but it didn't feel like an appropriate time.
"Can i just say i'm sorry while we're on the subject" i said breaking the ice.
"for what?" she said putting a piece of hair behind her ear. When she looked up into my eyes, i could feel the attraction right there.
"I shouldn't have gone, it wasn't fair and it couldn't have been at the worse time" i said rambling on
"Harry" she said trying to interrupt but i had to get it all out.
"Maybe if i were here, you wouldn't have to protect me, i would be the one protecting you, you were ill and i left, you were in danger and i left" i said but again she tried to interrupt
"Harry"
"I'm not finished yet, i need you to know that i played with your heart and I'm sorry for that" i explained finishing off what i had to say.
"You did us a favor" she commented, i looked at her as if she would need to define what she was talking about
"Our relationship was becoming dangerous and ironically unhealthy, when you left i had a lot of time to think things through and it was made clear that i do love you more than i should and i wanted you home" she explained. I looked relieved that she didn't want to give up on us, that mean't she cared, which made me care for her.
"So what do we do know?" She asked looking awkward. I was feeling a little also so I understand why she asked.
"Do you want to come round mine?" I asked hoping that the answer would be yes.
"Well I should be going to my aunt's" she said pointing behind her effortlessly
"Oh, I'll come round yours later then" I said.
"Harry I don't live here anymore" she explained. Oh yeah, I forgot to she was pretending to be dead for a minute there. She crossed her arms and started shivering to show that she was cold
"Where do you live?" I asked so we could get out of the cold and back to the warmth. The cold never bothers me; to think of it, no weather climate change affects me, I'm cold blooded so i cant feel a thing making me work of what to wear from the look of things or other people.
"Back in the place i cannot talk about or i'll get burnt" she said quietly as if she were ashamed. I went to her, gave her my zip up hoddie and lifted up her chin so she was looking at me and only me.
"I'll take you to your aunt's then" i said moving out the way so she could lead the direction
