Not in My Plans

Part 9

Rehearsal was over and I went to look for Ella but all I saw was her friend, so I asked her where she was. 

-“She went back home she said she wasn’t feeling well. She said she was sorry for not telling you but she will see you at the concert tomorrow” Logan replied with a  ‘Thanks’ but I knew something was up with her. 

-“Logan I know YN more than I know my real sister and I don’t buy the whole feeling sick story. Talk to her when you get the chance, I’m sure you can get to the bottom of this and make her feel better.”

I texted Elizabeth all day and night but no answer; I was getting worried. I decided to tell Kendall to text Michelle and ask her how Ella was doing. “she said she will let us know” said Kendall. 

Back at Uncle Joe’s and Aunty Ana’s house…

-“Elizabeth Marie Rodríguez what the hell is wrong with you? Kendall said Logan is worried sick because you won’t return his text or calls! So spit it out” 

She was in her bed and her eyes were red and puffy; something was not adding up here. With all that has happened lately she should be jumping from excitement.

-“Aww honey what’s wrong?” I sat by her.

-“I’m sorry Michy I just can’t, after today I won’t see him again. It’s hard to deal with that. I really feel something for him; I’m scared to lose him. I am sick and tired that every person I care for walks out of my life; he means to much to see him walk out like that. So I decided to stay away. That way I won’t get hurt and he can go on with his pop star life. I’m just a silly little girl that thought she could make her dreams come true and have the man of her dreams” 

-“YN don’t be like that. What about everything that has happened between you guys? I’m sure he is hurting as much as you are. He sent Kendall to me so I could figure out what was wrong with you. He was really worried. Ella he really cares about you.”

-“No he doesn’t, HE JUST FEELS SORRY FOR A STUPID GIRL LIKE ME!” she said bringing back the tears to her eyes.

-“Just please try to go to the concert and talk to him. PLEASE…”

I had to beg her like a 1,000 times to go to the concert tomorrow. She finally gave in and said “FINE ILL GO JUST STOP IT WITH THE BEGGING AND GET OUT OF THE ROOM!”

-“where do you expect me to sleep?”

-“The couch!” She threw my pillow and blanket my way.

12:00AM

I knocked on her door hoping she would answer. I know it was late but I needed to see her and know she was ok.

The door opened and a sleepy Michelle asked ”LOGAN…. What are you doing here so late?”

-“sorry is I woke you up but can I talk to her?”

-“I think she is sleeping but sure I’ll let you in. Just promise you won’t ask any questions and just be there for her, she needs it”

-“I promise! But why? What happened?”

-“She is a bit down I’ll explain tomorrow I’m really sleepy right now to talk”

I went in her room “I told you to sleep in the couch!” she sniffled.

-“Ella is me Logan” I sat by her side.

-“Ohh” was all she said and sat up.

We sat in her room in total silence for a few minutes. I grabbed her hand and stroked her knuckles with my thumb. She looked up at me and tears started to stream down her face. My free had wiped those same tears away.

-“Please don’t cry baby girl, it breaks my heart seeing you like this” you could see the pain in her eyes. I pulled her close to me and she cried into my chest as I stroked her hair. When her sobs went down I pulled away and looked deep into her eyes and placed a kiss on her sweet lips. She seemed in shock but soon she responded.

Her kisses were hungry and passionate and I put into mine all that I had to offer in that moment. I loved this girl and I know it sounds crazy. I’ve only known her for a few days but slowly and surely she found a special place in my heart. 

I laid her down gently on the bed not braking the kiss as she ran her fingers through my hair. I pulled away before things would get heated kissed her cheek and said “Ella, I will always be here no matter what and don’t you dare forget that” Those words brought a smile to her face as we both drifted off to sleep.
