Forever & Always

Chapter 23: Danger, Brandon & Dean.

Intense chapter! you'll love it!!!

-----------

"Causing a scene, cursing, and fighting?" Mom scolded me as she made a turn to our driveway.

"I didn't fight!" I defended "And I only cursed at Melissa. She was bullying me"

"Ellie!" Mom yelled "The moment I let you go, you took this chance to start rebelling?!"

I sighed.

The school called my mom and we sat at the principles office lecturing us about the things I have done. He gave me 2 week detention. He wanted to give me suspension for 3 days but mom begged him not to, she promised I'll be on my best behaviour.

I doubt it.

"Sorry" I mumbled even though I was not sorry, it felt good letting it out.

"Yeah yeah, sure. You're grounded for a month. You can't even go to Dean's house. You go to school, come back, go to work, come back and that is it."

I didn't argue with her, I wasn't even talking to Dean.

The moment mom came to halt in front of our house, I got out and ran inside. I hurried up to my room, closed my door and locked it. I took a few deep breaths before plopping myself down face down on the bed.

Nothing ever pleases them. No matter what I do.

If I act nicely, I get slapped in the face and when I stand up for myself, I also get slapped in the face. Now, not only will my mom go back to her bitchy mood but Dean and Kyle won't ever talk to me again.

I couldn't cry so instead I just screamed into my pillow, frustrated. He promised he would never leave me! They all promised they won't hurt me anymore! Why is everything turning against me? What have I ever done to deserve this?

Instead of whining about this whole complicated thing, I decided to just study. I needed good grades to get into a good college and away from them all. I went downstairs, grabbed the plate my mom left for me on the table and went back upstairs. I ate and did my homework and studied for the day after tomorrow's test.

Night time came by immediately and it was 10 oclock in no time. I yawned and stretched my limbs as I got out of my bed throwing the sketch book away. I went to the bathroom, took a quick shower, got dressed and came back to my room. I picked up all of the books from my bed and placed them aside. I crawled inside the blanket and placed my head on the pillow expecting to go to sleep immediately but I literally stayed up 2 hours just tossing and turning. I finally gave up and threw the blanket off of me with a huff. I got out of bed and walked downstairs, made myself a cup of hot chocolate and went back up. I grabbed my ipod and pulled my chair next to the window. I opened it slightly allowing a cool breeze fill the room. I pugged in my headphones and sat on the chair with my knees pulled up to my chest and I just sat there looking at the sky while drinking hot chocolate and listening to some calming music.

When Back For Me by Gavin Mikhail started playing, I couldn't help but tear up. When the chorus played I was full on sobbing silently. I really missed Dean. I really did. We could have sorted things out nicely without him breaking up with me. He really did overreact. If he did that for me, I would have been greatful but I'm a girl and he's a guy so I guess it's kinda different.

I wonder where you are, wonder what you need, I wonder why you mean so much to me...

And after all this time, I still can't understand why, they say you're never coming back for me...

Won't you come back for me?

You know I love you.

Won't you come back... for... me?
