Okay hi :-)

"Michael?" I asked answering my phone. I was just wondering the streets at 2 in the morning seeing as I had no where to go.

"Hey Elle," He chirped. "How are you?"

"I'm good," I lied. I was far from fine. I was homeless, tired, and starving. A car passed me by and I desperately tried to mute it out so he wouldn't hear it.

"Elle where are you?" he asked. My heart started to race. What if he was figuring it out? I didn't want him to worry about me. I mean I'm really not someone who should be worried upon.

"I'm at the house why?"

"Than why is there a car near you?"

"There isn't,"

"Elle just tell me where you are," he sighed sounding annoyed.

"I'm wondering the streets," I admitted.

"What?" he yelled. "Elle get home now!"

"I can't," I sighed. I had to tell him. There was no way out of this now.

"What do you mean by you can't go home?"

"Its a really long story, but long story short your dad was about to hit my mom so I got in the way, and then I yelled some things at him, and he kicked me out, and threaten to kill my mom if she let me back inside," I sighed my voice cracking. Tears were starting to roll down my face.

"Oh my god you're coming to me then," he said. I could hear muffled noises before I heard him talking to someone.

"Mike I can't," I said.

"Well to bad make sure you get your ass to the airport by 4:30 you have a flight to London at 5:30," he said. "Already bought you a ticket you'll have to take it."

"Thank you Mikey," I said.

"This is me trying to make up for myself Elle this isn't a problem," he said.

"Can you please not tell Luke about this?"

"Yea," he said hesitating.

"Why'd you hesitate?"

"I didn't," he said.

"Yea ya did,"

"I don't know what you're talking about," he said hurriedly. "Just make sure you're at the airport by 4:30."

After that he hung up leaving me more confused than ever. I checked the time and it was 3 so I decided I should probably start my way to the airport. Before long I started to feel my phone buzz. I had just assumed it was Michael again, so I just picked it up.

"Elle?" I heard an all too familiar voice say.

"Luke?" I asked.

"Yea it's me,"

"What's up?"

"I called my mom, and I gave her our number," He said. God Michael you can never keep a secret. "She is going to call you, and you're going to accept her offer okay?"

"I don't want to bother your mom Luke," I argued. "It's already 3:10 in the morning she's probably asleep."

"Well too bad she was awake," he said.

"Fine," I sighed starting to feel bad.

"Okay bye," he said as he hung up, and I started to feel even more heartache. He didn't even say I love you. Why didn't he say I love you?

I felt my phone buzz again, and I answered knowing it was probably Liz.

"Hey hunny it's Liz," she said. "Michael and Luke informed me of your situation, and I wanted to know if you wanted to me to come pick you and you stay with me?"

"Michael said I was supposed to got to the airport at 4:30," I said feeling bad.

"Yea he called me to ask if I could give you a ride to the airport, and I asked why, and he told me everything," She started. "But I kind of told him that you'll still need an education and I told him I didn't approve, and I asked him how you'd get it while being on tour with them, and he got stumped. So now I'm offering my home out to you."

"Luke told me to take this offer so I guess yes," I said the ending sounding more of a question than and answer.

"Okay where are you babe?"

I told her where I was and she told me that she would come pick me up. I was kind of disappointed that I couldn't go see Mike. I was actually looking forward to that.

I sat down on the concrete curb, and awaited the arrival of Liz. If Liz didn't approve there was no way around it. She didn't approve of me going on tour, so I'm not. She approves of me getting an education, so I am.

After a while Liz's car pulled up in front of me, and she rolled down her window. I grabbed my bag, and opened the door. I climbed in her black SUV and put my bag by my feet.

"Hi boo," she said.

"Hi Liz," I said cheerfully. "Thank you for this."

"Not a problem," she said. "Anything for the girl my son loves."

Liz started off towards the Hemmings' household, and I was grateful that they could do this for me.

I guess today was going to be a weird day.
