Third Person's P. O. V
It was raining like cat and dog, the thud when the tree hit the roof because of the wind was extremely loud despite the sound of the heavy downpour.
All the lights in the house was on, she covered herself with blanket and looked at the silhouette of the tree that appear from on window , the lighting strike again , lighting up all the surrounding in a gloomy light.
Ellina sit up in shock when the tree shake because of the wind , hitting the roof and the window in the process creating a loud and disturbing noise. She quickly take her phone that was on the nightstand , press her thumb on the most recent person on her call history, she hold her breathe waiting for the other person to picked it up, her nerve was extremely taut . She is not a particularly courageous person, adding to the gloomy atmosphere she had read a thriller earlier today and it's no good.
The call ring for a long time, but was rejected. Ellina dial again with a bated breath , when was rejected again her heart drop to her stomach . She could no longer hide the disappointment in her eyes, didn't she said that she could call her? Was she just taunting her then? Ellina lie on the bed feeling a little lonely and frightened, she no longer dare to look around again .
She covered herself with the thick blanket, droplets of sweat appearing due to the heat. But, she didn't push it away, cause this is the only way she could feel a little bit secure . She surround herself with plushie , pillows and pile them up like a little fort. She herself know it clearly that such wall will not withstand a force no matter how weak that force was, but this weak wall give her a sense of security and it feel less scary.
She hug her teddy bear, listening to the rhythm of the rain, she slowly let it put her to sleep. She count the rhythmic pattern, she try to focus on the rain and that alone trying to block the clashing sounds of the tree against the branches and the house , after some unknown amount of time she slowly sleep," I will never trust you again. "she muttered aggrievedly, promising to herself that she won't believe another word she said .
But, that was also what she said when she wait for her in the house when she said she would pick her up.

Jules looked down at the phone and reject the call, quickly deleting the call record just then Rue walked out of the bathrooms while drying her hair , " Feeling better? " Jules nodded.
Rue didn't think much of it when she saw Jules playing with her phone . July without a hint of guilt put down the phone on the bed, and didn't feel any need to inform her of the call either.
, " Then let's go eat. " while Rue was about to walked out of the room Jules quickly chase after her , holding her arm while walking down the staircase .
, " Good thing you come down! I was just about to call you! " Leslie say with a gentle and welcoming smile , " Now, let's eat. Hope you like pie, I also make some gravy, soup rice and some roast! " Rue sit down and Jules pick the seat next to her and settle down herself too.
Leslie treated Jules warmly , passing her several dishes . Jules also happily eat finding the food to her liking, " Do you like it? "
, " Yes! It's delicious! What do you name it? " referring to the new dish Leslie's just make.
, " I haven't name it yet. It's just food. " Leslie reply.
The dinner was harmonious, Rue rarely talk if she is not being ask. She stab her fork into the dish on her plate, her body might be here but her mind was not. Obviously worried , the wind was getting stronger and the rain too seemed to have no intention to leave.
She haven't received any call yet so she should be fine, even if she was comforting herself like that she feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.
That little kitty is way too easily frightened, even if she is already old and should be mature enough to stay by herself . She mock her a little in her heart trying to relieve the stress and relaxed a little . But, the more she try to get rid of her, the more it affected her.
She is already old enough, she should be safe. She will be able to take care of herself, she keep repeating those words in her heart, if not she is afraid that she would suddenly run out of the house to go to her.
After dinner Rue return to the room first and check her phone, no call. She put it down , she was thinking about whether to call again or not when she remember how pissed she was when she call her last time, so she just give up on that idea not wanting to get on her bad side.
She sleep on the bed and Jules soon joined her, and stuffed herself in her embrace. She didn't move the whole time Jules was awake or was slowly sleeping, when she was completely sure that she was sleeping Rue slowly take away her hand that was hugging her.
She check her phone again, still no call. For the whole night she was unable to fall asleep, waiting for a call. It seemed that her worries will not let her have a peaceful night .
Throughout the night she check her phone so many times that she even lost the count of it.
Only when it was the break of the dawn did the rain and the wind slowly start retreat, Rue was not able to sleep anymore, she doesn't even have a single sleep throughout the night.
But, Rue didn't feel anything weird, she is used to staying up 3 days in a row and a day is no big deal.
She looked at the wall clock, it was 4:45 a. m , she watched as the minute hand slowly turn . Rue had never found that the time was passing so slowly, she really hoped to get to school early today.
*****
Ellina wake up again around 1- 3 a. m in the morning, she don't even manage to have enough rest , yet she is already awake again.
She pulled her hair in irritation, and try to sleep again. Only after a long time had passed did she managed to sleep , the creepy sounds of the wind was no help .
She wake up around 8 : 00 a. m and decided to just not go to school again, she is dizzy and her head feel heavy, and the light that was barely there was also extremely irritating.
She kicked away all the plushie and blanket, slowly get out of the bed, and walked down the kitchen, her room is way too hot, and for some reason she don't want to stay there.
She lie down on the sofa in her pyjamas, it felt better. Even if Ellina really care about her grade, her pain tolerance is non-existent , so she won't go even if she had a slight discomfort. It had always been like that, there is no way she will go to school with a pain.
She shift around trying to find a comfortable position to sleep, unaware that a certain someone had already run to school early in the morning to wait for her.
