I shut my laptop and sigh. I stare at the wall, my mind blank. Not knowing what to do now.
I hear a knock on the door and I don't reply. I just continue staring at the wall.
Mum comes in and I just turn my head for a second and just continue staring at the wall.
"Hey El. Anything wrong?" She asks.
I shake my head. "Well, then, I want you to know that Mrs. Natalie is coming over." She says.
"As in our neighbor Mrs. Natalie? As in, the old lady Mrs. Natalie?" I ask.
She nods her head. "Why? I thought you were going first thing in the morning in London." I say, confused.
"I am. But she is going to watch over you." She says.
"Mum, I'm sixteen. I don't need a babysitter. I can take care of myself!" I try not to yell.
"Sure. Keep telling yourself that." She says, looking at my arm.
I roll my eyes. "But I am telling myself that you need someone that isn't Joe to watch over you and I chose her. Thank you very much for understanding." She says.
I just look at her breathlessly. She leaves and shuts the door.
This was so expected of her.
-Next day-
"Bye Mum!" I say, waving as the car starts moving.
She waves back and I go inside, shutting the door behind me. Its 8:47 am and Mrs. Natalie is hogging the TV watching that old TV show, Boy Meets World.
I go upstairs and take my chemistry books. I sit in my bed and start to study.
I have to study really well if I want to get into a good college after these exams.
I don't really know what I want to do.
People tell me I have a great voice. Maybe I could do some performing arts?
I've always been good at soccer as well. Maybe that can be a choice as well.
"Eleanor? Would you like some vegetable soup for breakfast?" Mrs. Natalie asks, barging into my room.
I almost throw up. "No thank you Mrs. Natalie." I say, smiling.
"Well okay then." She says.
She shuts the door and I continue studying.
-Few hours later-
I go downstairs and see that Mrs. Natalie is fast asleep in front of the TV.
I go upstairs and change into a blue dress and matching blue wedges. I leave my hair tumble loosely over my shoulders. I put a little make up on and I take a clutch and put emergency lip gloss and mascara in it.
I look at myself in my full length mirror and I go out of my room.
I tiptoe downstairs and go out.
I start walking towards the Pier and I go to Little Bay.
I go inside and I see Louis there, using his phone. I walk over and take a deep breath.
"May I?" I say.
He looks up and smiles. "Of course!" He says, letting out a small chuckle.
I sit down and he puts his phone down on the table.
"Sorry I'm late. I had to sneak out of the house." I say.
"Why? I thought your parents weren't home." He asks.
"They aren't. But they asked Mrs. Natalie to babysit me." I say.
"As in, the old lady who is your neighbor Mrs. Natalie?" He
asks."Yes. But luckily she was asleep on the couch after watching about three seasons of Boy Meets World." I say.
"Lucky you." He says.
"I know." I say.
"So, how are you holding up with the Joe drama?" He asks.
"Okay, I guess. I'm not allowed to talk to him or even be in the same room with him. Plus, I quit all my social media." I say.
"You did?! But you live on the internet! And what about your YouTube channel?!" He asks.
"Well, I am going to make videos but that's it. I'm only going to be on YouTube and nothing else. No Twitter, no Instagram, no Facebook, no nothing." I say.
"Wow." He says.
"I know. I can't believe I'm doing this either." I say.
-Later-
"I had a really good time today. Thank you." I say.
"You're welcome." He says.
I look into his amazing blue eyes and he looks into mine.
He leans in, cups my face with his hands and I feel his soft lips brush against mine. It all felt so magical.
We pull away from each other and I can feel my cheeks redden. He puts his hands in his pockets and smiles.
"I'll see you in school then?" He says.
"I guess so." I say, biting my lip.
"Bye." He says.
"Bye." I say.
He walks away and I watch him walk away.
I walk up the driveway and open the door, not even thinking to check if she was awake.
"Where did you go?" She asks, shocking me.
"Er, just watering the flowers." I say.
"Dressed like that?" She asks.
This woman is smarter than I thought.
"Um, yeah. Its the latest trend." I say."Hmm. Okay." She says.
Okay. Now, I'm taking back my words. She isn't that smart.
I go upstairs to my room and sit on my bed. I remove my wedges and I lay down and sigh.
That was amazing!
