This is the last part to first day of school

TW/SELFHARM, TALK OF SELFHARM

Ellie's Pov

Mrs.deluca-bishop came back in and said "So Ellie I've called your class teacher and I have subs going to my classes" she paused for a second "why did you do it?" She asked. I just shrugged, she came closer to me, I then opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out.

"Sh El if you don't want to talk I'm not going to force you". She said while stroking my hair.

After couple of minutes I went to sleep in Mrs.Deluca-Bishop's arms.

Mrs.Deluca-Bishop Pov

Ellie went asleep in my arms and all I could think about was what's going on in her head.

After 30 minutes she woke up in a panic. "Shh shhh it's okay" I said trying to calm her down, I held her closer and she instantly calmed down, she looked a little pale.

"You look a little pale Ellie, when was the last time you ate" I asked.

"Um I- I don't remember but I'm not hungry" she said with a fake smile.

"Bella I know you're lying, come let's go to the canteen" I said holding out my hand for her to take.

"No no no I don't want to go please don't make me go" she said with almost teary eyes.

"Okay you don't have to but I'm going to give you a fruit snack" I said hoping she'll take it. She took it and ate all.

It was almost time to go home, Ellie went back to asleep but her head was on my chest and I held her with one arm while correcting work with the other waiting for her to wake up. I then felt movement on my chest"Ellie, you awake?" I asked

"Yeah I'm up I'm just watching you and thinking" she said

"Well it's almost time to go home why don't you go get your things and come back to my classroom?" I asked her. She nodded her head a got up to get her things. Few minutes later she still wasn't back so I went to check on her, I went into her class and saw Ms.Sawyer shouting at Ellie in front of the class.

"What's going on in here" I said feeling a bit angry

"This little idio-" I stopped her there.

"Her name is Ellie by the way and she isn't an Idiot, come here Ellie you're not staying in this class" I said. We went back to my room and Ellie started to breakdown.

"Ellie look at me you're not an idiot, okay" she shrugged it off thinking I won't see. "No don't you're not an idiot you're a bright and beautiful girl" I said while rubbing her back.

"Uh Mrs.Deluca-Bisho-" she was cut off by the bell

"Go ahead El don't mind the bell" I said.

"Actually don't bother can I go now?" She said looking sad.

"Yes but do you want me to take you home?" I asked. She nodded her head, we then went to my car and I took her home.

Hey my loves happy New year I hope you all had a great day. I love every single one of you ❤😘
