Bad Idea! *Ellie Williams*

•5•

Willow's pov

The bright beam of sun peering from the curtains wakes me up. I Immediately feel a booming headache and regret all the alcohol I shoved down my throat last night. Last I remember is feeling like a had to throw up and running towards the bathroom. I look around me the room was perfectly clean and tidy, almost like nobody lived in it.

In the nightstand next to my bed there was a water bottle and two pills. I could only assume Jesse dropped them off for me and I made a mental note to thank him later. I grab the water bottle and chug it down realizing just how dry my mouth had really been. I pull out my phone and click on the camera.

"Fuck." I jump-scare myself when I flip the camera. It was bad. Like really bad. My eyeshadow smudged around my eyes and my black lipstick smeared all over my mouth. Shit I looked like the babadook from that one shitty horror movie. I pause in realization. If Jesse carried me to bed the Ellie most likely saw him carrying me. Which means she saw how horrible I looked. Whatever why'd I even care?

I get up from bed with a loud groan. The headache instantly making my head boom with every little movement I made. My backpack hanged neatly off the doorknob to the room. I sneak towards the nearest bathroom and brush my teeth. It takes me a while to fully get all the makeup off and I regret not packing any makeup remover. As I'm changing my clothes I see my phone light up from the corner of my eye and look down. Ellie?

Ellie: Morning Princess 😏

I roll my eyes at the screen and start typing. My shorts still halfway on.

Willow: Who gave
you permission to text me?

Ellie: the least you can
do is say thank you

Willow: For?

I stare at my screen waiting for her to text. My eyes widen when a picture loads in my screen.

Ellie: For helping you to bed last night

I bring the phone closer to my face and swing the bathroom door open. Struggling to pull my shorts up I make my way down the hallway.

"Ellie!" I yell loudly making my way downstairs.

"Delete that picture right now!" I stomp my way to the kitchen where Dina was cooking breakfast. Jesse stopped stuffing his face and smirked. "She send you the picture too?"

"It's not funny Jesse." I cross my arms but it only makes them laugh harder.

"Forgive them for their immaturity." Dina turns around and angelic smile. I wondered how she got pulled into such a friend group.

"Eat up, looks like you had a rough night." Dina slides a plate on the counter. I sit down still pouting. "So what's the move?" Jesse speaks with a mouth full of food.

"Chew your food first dammit." Dina scolded him. Watching the two interact kind of made it look like they were already a couple. I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket again, I look towards Ellie who shoves her phone into her back pocket suspiciously. I swear if-

Ellie: Wearing such short shorts you're just asking for it aren't you princess

I choke on my food and eye Ellie from the corner of my eye. I see a smile creep up her face and I start to viciously type away.

Willow: Fuck off

I don't know why she became all cocky all of a sudden. I mean the Ellie Williams I knew was always cocky but never with me. Not like this. Maybe it was because I teased her last night by the pool. Either way I had to end it. For my own good I knew not to get involved with Ellie. Not even for fun.

"I was thinking we could go to an escape room?"

"Don't you wanna clean around first?" I look around the house. Red cups and beer cans. "I'll just call a cleaning service. Me and Jesse made sure to take care of the...nasty stuff."

"What do you mean nasty stuff?"

"They mean shit like condoms, dirty underwear." My eyes widen feeling nausea in the pit of my stomach. "No way."

"Oh yeah. Don't worry we wear gloves." Dina reassures me but to no avail. It was still disgusting. "It wasn't too bad this time. I'm telling you we need to start locking the rooms away!"

Jesse tosses the rest of his plate in the trash. I can only assume he lost his appetite as did it. Thankfully I only had a few bites left. "So this escape room?"

"I can't. I gotta work."

"Oh yeah Dina guess what?" Dina tilts her head towards Ellie and she continues. "She's a stripper."

"I'm not a stripper for Gods sake. How did you deal with her? Seriously Dina."

"I'm used to it." Dina winks at me and i sigh.

"Are you sure you don't want us to drop you off at work?" Dina asks for the third time and I shake my head. "I'll be fine you guys have fun."

"Oh we will without you holding us back." Jesse pats my back and I look at him fake offended. "Whatever jackass. Where's Ellie?"

"She's staying home. Something about her stomach or whatever."

"Hmm." I hum in response and they get in the car. "Text me when you make it work LooLoo."

I walk back in trough the door inside the garage and go back upstairs to grab my bag. I jump back Ellie stood outside my door. Her body leaning against the wall. "Jesse asked me to stay. So he can hang with Dina all by himself. Sneaky bastard. So how we getting home?"

"We? You can stay here wait for them to come back." I flip my hair over my shoulder and start to make my way downstairs. Ellie follows close behind. "But there's nothing to do here."

"And that's my problem how?"

"I'll pay for the Uber." I stop in the middle of the stairs and turn around with a smile. "Deal."
