Coming For The Crown

Eleven

Three days, three days until the ball. Not much has happened during the time in between. Amara still hasn't woken up; I finally met her godfather. Harvey has gotten weirder, it's almost like he refuses to hang out with me. I can't help but feel like something is going on with that. Elliot and I have gotten close, we could almost call each other good friends.

Ash got a boyfriend; he works for my mom. I also met him, and he is so friendly, nice, and sweet. Mia is still single, but I saw her looking at a girl the other day. There might be a little something there. Overall, I am happy and I'm to say the least I haven't been this happy in a while. I can thank for my family and friends; even people I wouldn't think make me happy.

I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen at the ball. I try to ignore it; I don't want something like this make me not focus. It's just a feeling, I shouldn't worry about it. No matter what I will have someone with me, even if it's Elliot or someone else. Talking about Elliot, sometimes not all the time I feel my checks heat up. Like I have been in sun for too long and I'm about to burn. I don't know why this is, but it is. 

I am in the ballroom right now helping set up decorates. I hear the door behind me open and close, I turn around to see Elliot. He didn't have a smile; he was angry that was oblivious. I walk towards him; he looks at me. His angry vanishes and now there is sadness. "Elliot?" I ask as I look in his eyes. "Can I speak with you outside?" He asks while looking down at the east of me. I nod my head then lead the way outside.

I walk out to our garden; I turn around when we get in the middle. "Eleanor, I know we just became friends. I hope you have learned I wouldn't dare lie to you. I say this because what I'm about to tell you; you won't believe me, but you need to." He pauses, I start to step closer. He is looking at my eyes, I am looking at his. "What else?" I ask him, because I know there I more.  He gulps, I heard it; he's scared. "Havery..." I was now touching his chest with my hands, he put his hands on mine. "Eleanor, I saw him kiss someone else." I step back, I take my hands out of his. 

I stare at him; he is looking right back at me.  I shake my head. Havery wouldn't do this to me. I can feel the tears threating to leave my eyes. "I can't believe you, Elliot! I honestly thought I could trust you! I open my heart to you, I told you something I never told anyone, but Mia and Ash. Just how could you?" I am just spitting out things now. I can't the pain in my heart from him lying to me. He had tears in his eyes by the end of what I was saying. 

He tries to reach for me, I move before he could touch me. He lets out a sad chuckle, you could hear in that sad chuckle all the sadness he has. "I'm sorry. I thought out would want to know the truth." He says before looking at the ground. I shake my head before walking away, well more like running away. I get to the door; I turn around to see Elliot looking up like he was trying to stop from crying. Why, just why Elliot?

I run straight to my room, the decorates are good enough. I just want to seat up here are cry and I don't anyone around me, not even Mia and Ash. I get to my room and close the door; I quickly seat on my bed. At this point I was bawling, I started crying a little back when ran from Elliot. I should have never trusted him. If that could have been the case, I wouldn't have met Amara. Gods, why does this happen to me? 

I sat on my bed crying for hours it felt like, it probable was hours. I didn't feel hungry once, every time I did think of food I memory when Elliot brought me the food after the argument with my dad. The memories of us of eating together in the room with his little girl. I don't know why but this feels worse than losing a family member. 

I decide to take a bath, I need it. I don't just need it; I feel like I'm a mess; I probably look like it too. I walk into the bathroom and turn the hot water on. I turn the cold water on just a little. I test the water to make sure it's okay before putting the plug in the tub. I let the water run while getting out of my dress. 

I step into the tub and soak my body into the water. I lean my head back on the tub and let my body relax. I sit there thinking, I need revenge for him hurting me. I dip my head in the water, I let the water consume my whole head. After a minute I open my eyes, ignoring the stinging from the water touching my eyes I keep them open. I scream into the water making my eyes close. I just let me scream until I need to breath. I take my head out the water and take deep breaths letting air get back in my lungs. 

I sit in the tub until I feel wrinkly and gross. I stand up in the tub and grab the towel of the towel rack. I step out drying my feet first then I pull the plug in the tub, before putting the towel around my body. I dry my legs off, next my arms, and lastly my body. 

I step Infront of the mirror, I look at my body. I mean I have a nice body, but I have no curves unlike some the servants, special Seraphina Brighton. Her hips stick out in any clothes, she has a very flat stomach, very long beautiful blonde hair with amazing green eyes. Seraphine is my head maid, so I see her every day, every weather, every clothing, and every time I feel ashamed.  I am nothing like her, I have no curves; I have long wavy hair that take forever to tame with blues that don't go with anything. 

I look away from the mirror, I don't know why I was judging my body like that. I usually love my body, I guess I'm letting Elliot get to me. I have no bloody idea why, but I need it to leave. I walk into my closet and get my bra which I have decide to call my active bra. I call it this because this the bra I train in, and do other actives in. I grab some lose pants, but they are not to lose. I put the towel around my hair and let it dry in the towel. 

I walk into my bedroom and think about what I can war or what I can do. I only have three days, so I have to have the dress with me, but it has to be a dress nice enough to not look like I am looking for a man. It has to be a dress I haven't wore for anyone, it has to look beautiful on me. What dress is that... The green one! I hurry to my closest and find the dress. I never wore, I had got it do to the flowers on it. I never thought I would wear it, well to a ball at least. 

I finally found it behind my pink flower dress I wore for Jonah's wedding. Like I thought it was green with flowers on it, it has a red ribbon on the waist. The shoulder is puffy and off the shoulder. Flowers are ever on the sleeve making the white mesh material fit right in with the rest of the material. This is the one I will wear.
