To Hate and to Love

Chapter 11

Ellie and Reagan are in the bathroom upstairs brushing their teeth. There are two sinks in the bathroom and a large mirror over both. The sinks are connected by a counter with wooden cupboards underneath. To their right is a white sliding door and behind it, the toilet and shower. The door proves useful for when one girl wants to take a shower and the other just needs to use the sink.

Billy uses the bathroom downstairs for his needs. Although, he has to use the shower because there isn't one downstairs.

They both get done brushing their teeth. Reagan stares at herself in the mirror. Ellie leaves the bathroom, takes a left, and walks into her bedroom. Ellie puts on her pajamas, which are a t-shirt and some athletic shorts. She chucks her dirty clothes in the hamper hanging from her door.

Then, Ellie hears that knock on her door that Anna did in Frozen. She knows it's Reagan. Reagan is obsessed with Frozen and just about everything else in the world. Ellie yells for Reagan to come in.

Reagan sits in one of the blue hammock chairs hanging from the ceiling. Ellie sits down in the other one.

Reagan folds her hands under her chin and smiles evily at Ellie. "So tell me, did you barf on Adam's shoes on purpose?"

"No. The only thing I was thinking about was how I had ruined my no barfing streak." Ellie responds. She hasn't puked since second grade until today.

"Hm, interesting." She then whispers something that sounds like 'Ellie for life!'

Ellie asks Reagan what she said. Reagan responds with a 'I don't think you want to know.'

Ellie screams, "Well tell me anyway!"

"Fine. I said Adellie for life. There you go. Go ahead and scream at me now." Reagan replies.

"What's Adellie?" Ellie asks. She can't think what that would mean.

Reagan slaps her forehead. "Are you kidding me? Well, at least I have one more day to live. You should think about that. You're smart enough. Figure it out."

"Oh great is this a new obsession?" Ellie asks.

A stupid grin appears across Reagan's face. She gets out of the hammock chair and stands in the doorway. "Yep. And it will be for a long, long, time." She exits the room, shutting the door behind her, leaving Ellie with a question yet to be answered.
