"ELI DONT LEAVE!" jj cried, watching his sister bawl as she stood in the door way, their dad swaying in the kitchen.

"she needs to leave boy, she keeps crying over her damn mama! she's dead goddamnit!" luke raged, throwing the half bottle of vodka at the ground, glass shattering everywhere. elliott jumped back, her back hit the door that was hanging off its hinges, causing her to step wrong and fall backwards. she tried not to cry, but pain had shot through her body.

"eli!" jj tried to run towards his sister but luke stopped the boy, anger all over his face.

"don't go after her you little shit, she needs to fucking leave" luke took the younger boy by his shoulders, shoving him down towards the legs of the table.

elliott watched his brother in horror, she has to save him. he can't stay here. her dad was going to kill her brother and jj was all she had. no one liked her in school, she had never made friends, so jj was all she had.

jj's head had hit the edge of the table hard, causing him to pass out, elliott then let out a cry, causing her dad to snap his head back towards her. "shut up!" he drunkenly walked over to her as she scrambled away from the house more, tears rolling down her cheeks.

luke grabbed the girl, practically throwing her down the stairs and out the house, causing the girl to land wrong and roll her ankle. "you look and sound exactly like your white of a mother" luke spat, walking away while she sobbed silently from the amount of pain she was in. she couldn't stand.

what was she going to do? jj was passed out in the living room and she couldn't stand. she didn't have a phone, what if jj is dead? she forced herself up and basically dragged herself back into the house where the girl sobbed with her brothers head in her lap while her dad was passed out and puking back at his dealers house.

Elliott sat with her head in her hands back on the couch in the chateau. JJ had ran off somewhere and pope followed after his best friend. what did she do now? how could she fuck even more things up? she was happy, why couldn't jj see that? she felt at peace.

all her life she has had jj. through everything they had been through together, through their moms passing, dads drunken states, the constant pain the pair of siblings were in. everytime something happened, there was the other. everyone knew elliott and jj maybank and no one had ever seen them apart.

but this was the first time elliott felt like she didn't have her brother. of course it hurt when she couldn't talk to him in the bahamas, but she knew he would be there with open arms when she got back. but now that she's back, she felt miles away from him again but didn't know if he would be there waiting for her, like he always was.

pope didn't even come after her, he went after jj. yes they were the same age, but both john b and pope also grew up close with elliott. kiara and sarah didn't come to comfort her. she felt alone for once in her life, like she had no one to fall back on.

a knock sounded on the doorframe, eli raised her head and suddenly noticed koda standing there, a worried look on his face. a soft smile spread across his lips as the two made eye contact. eli returned the smile.

"what happened?" he asked, coming to sit next to her. she sighed, picking at the edges of her finger nails as she began to talk.
