Torn between fairy tales.

Chapter Fifteen

Ross left on his motorcycle to his family's house to tell them what happen. I start getting extra blankets for Ross to stay here. A hour later I hear a knock at the door. It's Elliot... I open the door and he is standing there with a big smile.
Amelia: Can I help you with something?

Elliot:Hello Amelia... You look lovely today!

Amelia:Thanks Elliot.. Do you need something?

He looks down at the ground all upset.

Amelia:What is it are you okay? Come in..

Elliot comes in and I shut the door. We walk over to the couch and he sits down.
Elliot:Its about Ross's shack.

Amelia:What about it?

Elliot:I was talking to Ross telling him. I had a place for him to stay and he got all mad and started yelling at me for no reason.

Amelia:What why? Maybe he was just upset.

Elliot:Well......I tried to explain to him that I could help him.......

Amelia:Help him with what?

Elliot:To stay with me or I can get him a place to stay on campus or somewhere else. But he said he already has a place to bum off of someone.

Amelia:Bum of of?....

Elliot:Ya he is a big bum him and his brothers. That's why he works for the king and Queen. He was stealing and instead of putting him in prison. He was going to work for them.

Amelia:Oh no I didn't know any of this.

Elliot:I know but we need to find out who he is gonna stay with so he won't steal from them. Do you know who it is?

I look at the blankets. Then he looks at me.
Elliot:Oh no it you? I bet he played you didn't he? Taking you to his "favorite cafe" taking you on his "motorcycle" he probably burned down his own shack.

Amelia:This can't be true! Ross should be here any minute. I'll talk to him.

Elliot:I'm sorry Amelia but it's true.

My eyes start to tear up and I cover my face with my hands.
Elliot gives me a hug and looks at me.
Elliot:What about we go get something to eat?

I nod my head and he helps me off the couch.
Elliot:Don't worry I'll treat you right just come on follow me outside.

He extends his hand I look at it and think about Ross..... I I can't believe Ross would do this.
I look at Elliots sweet face and he smiles then I grab his hand.
