11 - what?

Eden's POV:

Eleanor ends up falling asleep. Again.

I place her down on my bed and head downstairs. But I hear my mom and Mariah talking and stop to eavesdrop.

"You ignored all of her cries for help and these are the fucking consequences, Mariah!" My mom whisper yells.

"How do I fix it?!" Her mom asks.

"You send her to fucking therapy."

"How do I do that?"

"I know really good ones who specialize in teenagers. I can ask them."

"Okay. How long will it take?"

"I don't know. A couple days? Weeks? Sometimes months but I know they're open." I go downstairs.

"She's asleep," I say. I don't know why I'm down here.

I kind of feel lonely.

"I'm gonna go to Adina's house." I walk out and walk straight into Adi's. I go upstairs and into her room. She's on her laptop doing her school work.

"Hey! You're leaving me soon I'm mad at you!" She says, closing her computer. I sit on her bed and sigh.

"What's wrong? Talk to me."

"I don't know. Everything? I mean- I just feel really bad for Ellie and-" I close my mouth. My stomach drops. Now she's gonna ask me what's wrong and I can't tell her because it's not my business to tell.

"What's going on with Ellie?" She asks, sitting next to me. I sigh again.

"I can't- really say. It's personal stuff. And I found out because I... hacked her phone."

"Oh!" She says. "Ouch. Soooo... she found out?"

"Yes. And she's pissed as she should be. I did a terrible thing. But now she wants to forgive me for it and I won't let her, but she's making it really fucking hard."

"But- I also feel really lonely and I don't know why I felt so connected to her right away. I mean- well- I've been crushing her since- okay but that doesn't matter does it?!"

"Well, I mean if you're head over heels then of course it's gonna suck. And... I don't know. Maybe she saw you for who you were and didn't care. And she still doesn't care."

"And I mean... that leaves a mark." I nod.

"Fuck."

"I know, right?" I look at her. She looks at me.

"I kind of hate this."

"I know, right? Maybe you should wake her up with head!"

"No! Oh my god Adi-" I blush.

"I'm leaving!" I open her window and walk across the tree to mine. I open it. Which wakes Ellie up.

I hop down and close the window. She looks at me.

"Hey," I say.
"Sorry I woke you."

"Why haven't you asked me why I'm here?"

"Why are you here?" I ask.

"I don't know," she says.

"Oh! Okay!" I say nodding. I put my hair into a ponytail and clean off my bed.

"My dad hits my mom," she confesses. I look at her. My look softens again.

"She's tried to divorce him but she ended up in the hospital the last time and I think it has something to do with that."
