Leah's P.O.V
"Is that who I think it is?" Ellie asks, both of us now staring at each other, wondering what the hell is going on
"I think so" I say quietly "What do we do?"
"See what she wants I guess. Ring your mum and tell her not to bring Archie back yet"
I nod and do as she says. I didn't say much to mum on the phone, but I could tell she felt slightly worried. Once I put the phone down, Ellie starts getting out of the car
"Ellie..." I grab her, she spins her head around "I love you" I whisper. She leans over and places a kiss on my lips "And I love you" her face turning into a soft smile, before it turns back to a serious one, both of us wondering what she is doing here.
"What are you doing here Chloe?" I ask once out of the car, but she doesn't say anything, her eyes all red and teary, her cheeks wet from tears, I look at Ellie, neither of us really knowing what to do as we both stand silently.
"Just leave her Leah" Ellie says after a few moments of silence, taking my hand and leading us to the front door, clearly we aren't getting anything out of Chloe. This is...bizarre.
"Wait..." Chloe snuffles, prompting Ellie and I to both turn around "Can I...come in?"
Ellie scoffs "You've got to be fucking kidding"
"Please" she says quietly "I want...I want to apologise"
"Not accepted" Ellie opens the front door, gesturing for me to go inside "If you don't get off our property, I will call the police"
"Ellie..." Chloe takes a step forward and reaches her hand out towards her "Please"
Ellie looks at me, I look at her.
"It's up to you" Ellie says to me, walking into the house
"You've got 2 minutes, but if you dare start, and I mean it Chloe, I will personally throw you out of this house"
"I won't" she whispers
We head inside, all of us go into the kitchen area, I stand next to Ellie, Chloe stood at the opposite side of the island. Silence, apart from the snuffles from Chloe. Ellie and I keep looking at each other, both of us completely confused about the situation.
"Spit it out then" Ellie says
Chloe suddenly breaks down in a flood of tears. At first, I don't feel anything but as she sobs, I can't help but feel a little sorry for her, I know I shouldn't, but it's still not nice to see someone so upset. I gently squeeze Ellies arm, brushing past her to make Chloe a glass of water, I place it down on the island in front of Chloe
"Thanks" she snuffles, taking a sip
Don't feel sorry for her Leah, she's brought all of this on herself.
"I'm sorry" Chloe finally breaks the silence "To both of you"
"Feel better?"
"Ellie..." I look over at her
"What? She hasn't come here to apologise to us for us Leah. She's come here to apologise for herself"
"Thats not true" Chloe says
"Really? Please" Ellie turns around, flicking the kettle on, silence once again filling the room. It's awkward. "Buy yourself anything nice with the money?"
"What?"
"From the papers. I assume you got a nice packet for spilling"
Chloe bows her head, not saying a word.
