Taking chances

Oh no she didnt

*meanwhile in Elliot's room! Jasmine had given Elliot the glass of water and breakfast bar. She sat on the end of his bed and waited for him to finish before asking any questions*

Elliot: *forced himself to eat the breakfast bar he was given just so he doesn't worry jasmine.* thanks jazzy!

Jasmine: you're welcome! *smiles as Elliot smiles back* ...so what happened? Why were you crying? A little while ago? *looks at Elliot with so much concern*

Elliot: apart from the usual stomach pain that wont leave me be... i know have to call Melissa and see whats going on with her because Carlos sent me a pic from in town and it looked like Melissa was kissing some other guy. *nervously fidgets with his hands as the image re-enters his brain*

Jasmine: are you serious? *was so mad that Melissa would dare to do something like that*

Elliot: yep! *looked up at jasmine and could see that she was just as annoyed at the whole thing*

Jasmine: well, get the bitch on the phone so i can give her a piece of my mind. *was getting herself all worked up and started to breath deeply through her nose*

Elliot: its ok jazzy... please just calm down! *reaches out to take hold of jasmines hand so he can stop her from balling her fists up*

Jasmine: i cant calm down! That bitch cheated on you! *was raising her voice a little because she was so mad*

Elliot: we don't know for sure though! Lets just give her a chance to talk. Ok? *was hoping for the best but still couldn't stop his mind from going to the possibility of everything being true*

*Elliot kept hold of jasmines hand as he called Melissa and waited for her to answer*

*on the phone*

Melissa: hey babe! *sounded like her usual cheery self*

Elliot: *couldn't help but smile at hearing her voice for the first time in a few days* hey! What you up to?

Melissa: me and my mum are Just in town for a little girls day together. What about you?

Elliot: I've just had a lazy morning! Listening to music and chatting with my grandma and Carlos.

Melissa: sweet!

*there was a bit of a pause and Elliot could faintly hear a male voice saying something along the lines of "come on cutie! Lets go buy you a sexy ass dress for tonight"

Elliot: *his heart sunk at that because he could no longer deny that something was up* who was that?

Melissa: uhh... n-no one! *sounded so guilty*

Elliot: *couldn't hold back his anger anymore and started raising his voice* WELL IT SUE AS HELL DIDN'T SOUND LIKE NO ONE! ...I HONESTLY CANT BELIEVE YOU RIGHT NOW! ...WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS SHIT TO ME? ...AFTER EVERYTHING WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH YOU JUST THROW ME ASIDE LIKE IM NOTHING!

Melissa: wait! Please don't say that! I love you El! I didn't mean for any of this to happen, i promise! Please don't leave me! *was crying at this point because she was so mad at herself for doing something so stupid that just cost her the best relationship shes ever had*

Eliot: save it! I don't wanna hear anymore of your stupid excuses! We're done! Don't ever call me every again and if you ever try to come up to me at school, ill file a restraining order. Got it?!... *didn't even let her answer before he hung up and threw his phone across the room, making it hit the wall with a loud thud. He then slams his fans into his pillow and screams as loud as he possibly could then breaks down in tears*

*jasmine had no idea what to say or do to make Elliot feel better so she just sat there trying to wrap her head around everything that just happened*

Anna: *heard the thud coming from upstairs so she doesn't hesitate to run up to the kids to check on them. Grace was following close behind and reached the top of the stairs just as Anna was opening Elliot's bedroom door* whats going on? We heard a thud? *looks at jasmine with worry as she looks over and sees Elliot's head in his pillow*

Jasmine: *looks up at Anna and grace with the same worried look* Melissa... *sighs deeply as she looks back over in Elliot direction and can see his body shake from sobs* she cheated on him and tried to act like nothing happened. *looks back at Anna and grace to see them going through a bunch of different emotions all at once*

Grace: thanks for telling us jazzy! Mind if we talk to your brother alone for a minute? We'll be down to start on lunch soon. *smiles weakly as jasmine hesitantly stands up and leaves the room without another word*

Anna: *looks at grace then makes her way over to sit on the edge of Elliot's bed and starts to rub his back to try and calm him down* shh... its gonna be ok buddy... take some deep breaths for me... *sees Grace sit at the end of the bed just watching to see if Elliot calms down*

Elliot: *was getting so worked up that his sickness came back* why me? I gave her all my love and kindness and she goes and snogs another dude like its no big deal! *looks at Anna as his heart breaks into a million pieces*

Anna: i don't know what she was thinking sweetie! Some people just don't think before they do stuff. Im sure she's feeling like an idiot for doing what she did and losing an amazing guy like you. But you deserve better... and i know its gonna take some time to get over this but you will and you are gonna meet an amazing girl who loves you and only you. Just take some time to focus on yourself first and figure out what you want. *was brushing her fingers through his hair as she spoke and he just looked up at her with a broken doll expression on his face*

Elliot: i trusted her with everything i have! How am i ever gonna trust anyone ever again *sobs as he continues to beat himself up*

Grace: i know how hard it was for you to open up about the stuff you have to deal with because of your condition, but i promise you that there is someone out there for you. They will be patiently waiting for you to heal and start over with a new and improved relationship. *smiles up at Elliot then to Anna a she smiles back and Elliot just hides his face in his pillow again*
