Moving on (Tate Langdon)

Chapter 2

"El please wake up." I heard a voice say. I tried to tell the voice I was awake but my body was stiff. I couldn't move. I needed to take this slowly. I tried to move my fingers. My hand twitched a little so I now know I have control of my body. Next it my eyes. I tried to open them but they felt glued shut. With all my might I fluttered my eyes open.

My eyes scanned the room. It looked like mine. Everything was the same. It just didn't feel the same. My eyes were still scanning when they landed on Tate. I stared at him with no emotion. He on the other hand had tear stains on his face. His eyes were blood shot from all the crying he was doing.

"El" I heard Tate choke out. I said nothing. What do you say after you tried to kill yourself? To me you say nothing.

"Please answer me. Please." I heard Tate beg. It broke my heart but I remained emotionless. I saw violet in the corner. She had tears on her cheeks but not as bad as Tate.

"hey." I said after a period of silence. My voice sounded different. I felt different.

"Oh my god el. You almost died. I al-almost lost you." Tate said choking on his tears. I sat up from my bed. I pushed my feet out of the covers than got out of bed. I had a bad headache and my arms hurt like heck. I looked down at my arms and saw bandages on them. I moved my shaky hand over to the bandages and slowly unwrapped them. I gasp at what I saw. My arms had dried blood on them and there were cuts everywhere. It looked horrible. I fell to the floor letting out a huge cry of pain. Tate rushed to my side. He grabbed me and pulled me to his chest. I sobbed in his chest. His shirt muffled my loud cries.

"shh. It's going to be okay." Tate whispered in my ear trying to calm me down. I shook my head no and kept crying. Tate grabbed my face and forced me to look at him. His bright blue eyes burned into my soul. Finding every secret I hid deep inside.

"I promise you I will protect you. I won't let anything happen to you. I promise." I nodded at his statement believing him. I looked up at him again and gave him a smile. He smiled back instantly. I scooted up a bit and laid my head on his shoulder. He just kept rubbing circles on my back in a soothing way.

"Are you going to be okay?" Asked Tate.

"I will." I told him trying to believe my own words. He nodded and just kept rocking me. I fell asleep in the arms of my best friend.

"Tate you do know she like you." I heard a new voice say.

"No she doesn't Hayden. Were just friends." Is what Tate said back to this Hayden girl?

"You're so clueless. You have two girls that love you. One is violet and one is Eileen. How don't you see that." Said Hayden. She sounded like she was getting angry.

"Violet doesn't love me and neither does el. I can't be loved I'm a monster." Said Tate.

"I do love you Tate. It's just I can't forgive you at least not now." I heard violet come in the conversation.

"You love me?" I heard Tate choke on his words.

"I do" I heard her say. There were footstep than a smacking sound. It got quite so I opened my eyes a smidge. I saw Tate and Violet kissing that site broke my heart. I almost gasped but I covered my mouth before I could. Hayden was looking at me with a smirk on her face. Tate pulled away from violet. I put my hand down and acted asleep again.

"Does this mean were back together?" asked Tate.

"I guess it does but my parents won't be happy about it." Said violet. I wanted to cry but I didn't.

"I think we should wake her up." Said violet.

"Yeah me too." replied Tate. I still acted asleep. I felt someone touch my arm.
