chapter 6

I explained my past to Ella. She understood what I have gone through since her father had died in a car crash too. She also said that cutting myself won't do any good, it'll just bring you down than lifting you up.

The good thing is, I don't regret telling her anything. It's like she's the diary and I'm the writer, she keeps my secrets from others. Or I hope so.

"I should be heading home, I really don't wanna get abused anymore." I say through an enormous sigh.

"I see," Ella says "I'll drive you."

"Hmm, okay. Thank you." I hesitate to answer.

We both walk downstairs, to be greeted by her mother.

"I'm just driving Kendra to her house." Ella informs her mum, Lily just stands up and kisses Ella's and I's cheek, before positioning herself on the couch again.

Ella and I walk into the garage, I hear the beep of the car as Ella unlocks it. We just awkwardly climb in, the loud rumbling of the garage opening catches my attention, making me jump back in the seat.

"That was loud." Ella laughs out, as I tag along with the laughs.

"Yeah."

My phone suddenly goes off, making me surprised at who would text me. Only four people have my number now.

Peter.

Karen.

Ashton.

and

Ella.

I look down at my phone.

Unknown number.

This got me awfully scared.

Who the hell is this?

-

From: Unknown Number To: You
Hey

I hesitantly hover my thumb over the keyboard. Should I text back?

From: You To: Unknown Number
Who is this?

I instantly got a text message back, scared to know who texted me.

From: Unknown Number To: You
Luke.

From: Unknown Number To: You
About today. I didn't mean it, I hope you can forgive me.

Ella looks at me worriedly, looking at me, seeing that she wanted an answer.

"Luke texted me."

"We should really make up a nickname for him. Maybe Luke the bitcherella, or even Lily Pad Luke." Ella suggests, my loud laughs filling the car.

"Lily Pad Luke?" I giggle out.

"That's all I could think of. By the way, what's your address?"

"Oh yeah, sorry." I tell her my address, my gaze now over to my phone, rereading the text over and over again.

That's when I decided to do something I planned on never doing. I texted back Luke the bitcherella.

-

From: You To: Lily Pad Luke
I know you didn't mean it. It just hurt a lot

I changed the contact to 'Lily Pad Luke' since 'Luke the Bitcherella' was just really not me. I'm not mean, but I'm not nice. I don't know if any of that made sense.

"You notice your house is just a five minute drive from mine." Ella chuckles, me not noticing we had arrived at my house.

I stuff my phone into one of my pockets, gripping onto my shoulder bag.
