Ellie lay in bed and sighed. She knew how life at home was and she knew how it wasn't easy and she hated it all. She knew how and just want her parents to be okay and for her relationship to be okay but she knew that she couldn't remember the last time that they were happy and she count remember the last time they they were really a family

Ellie got dressed as she walked down into the kitchen and saw Aimee "hey baby are you okay" Aimee asked as she looked to her daughter As Ellie looked to her and smiled

"I suppose so. Is everything okay with you and dad. You were arguing a lot again. If your going to split up I wish you'd tell me I am not a kid" Ellie said as Aimee looked to her and smiled

"I know your not but your still my child. It's my job to protect you and keep you safe but I can't lie to you. Thinks are hard with your dad and we're not getting on at all. He's working a lot"

"So are you. You weren't here last night. Dad bright me a pizza home after work. You didn't come back until late I Heard your car. I don't want to be lied to mum. I know there's more going on then tale saying" Ellie said as Aimee smiled

"I'm sorry I was out but things will be okay in the end trust me the last thing I want is for you to get hurt in this I promise you" Aimee said as Ellie looked to her and nodded

"I'm going to get ready for school" Ellie said. Ellie knew that her head was a mess over things and how she had no idea what to think over it all

✨✨✨
Ellie got to school as she walked into her dad's classroom and frowned as she realised that he wasn't there and sighed.  Ellie knew that she just wanted to talk to him over things. She went to walk out as she saw Simon

"Ellie what are you doing here" he asked as she looked to him and smiled

"I was looking for my dad but he's not here yet" she said as he smiled

"He said he was going to be late did he not say anything to you at home" he asked as Ellie looked to him

"No I didn't see how at home. I heard him arguing with my mum and that's it. I haven't seen him I just wanted to talk to him over things. It seems all my parents are doing is keeping a distance from me" Ellie said as Simon looked to her and smiled

"Hey you know that your Parents love you right now. Relationships are hard but they do love you" Simon said as Ellie looked to him and smiled

"Thanks sir that means a lot I just feel as if I am caught in the middle that's all. I don't know how to feel over it all" she said as he looked to her and smiled as he walked  over to her and placed a hand on her arm

"I know that your going through a lot and I know that your young and scared but I primate you that your not alone. I'm here for you no matter what happens" Simon said as Ellie looked to him and smiled.

Ellie knew that she felt grateful towards him. She knew just how none of it was easy at all

✨✨✨
Ellie walked into the common room as she saw Lauren and smiled

"You look how I feel. I saw your mum and dad having a go at each other again" Lauren said as Ellie groaned

"Again. I don't have the energy to deal with it all" Ellie said as Lauren looked to her and smiled

"How are you, I know that things haven't been easy for you but I am your best friend and you know that no matter what I am here for you and I am going no where" Lauren said as Ellie looked to her and smiled as she pulled her into a hug and smiled

"Thinks loz they means a lot. It really does" Ellie said. She knew how none of it was easy and she knew that she was trying to deal with all that was going on around her but she knew that she wasn't stupid and she knew how her parents relationship was falling apart

✨✨✨
Aimee stood in the house with Tom as she looked to him. She knew how things were with them and she knew it wasn't fair on Ellie to be caught in the middle. She knew that she wanted to do what was best for her daughter

"We need to talk over things for Ellie" she said as Tom looked her and rolled his eyes at her

"Do we?" He asked as she looked to him and sighed

"Yes we do. Ellie is not stupid she can sense when there is something going on and this fighting is too much and it's not rose on her. She is our child and we have to do what's best for her and you know it" she said as he looked to her

"You don't get to tell me what to do when you are the one who caused this. We were fine before you messed things up" Tom said as Aimee looked to him

"Don't act like your perfect Tom and don't throw this back in my face" she spat as Ellie walked into the room and frowned as she looked to them

"What's going on? All you do is yell at each other" Ellie said as Tom looked to her

"It's okay Ellie" he said

"Is it?"

"Yeah it's just your mum" he said

"Tom no.."Aimee said

"You want to know what's go of on. Your darling mother here has been sleeping with max Tyler" Tom said as Ellie looked to Aimee in shock as she stormed off

Unaware of what war was about to start and how Ellie would be the one caught in the middle
