There Is Only Love

Chapter 26

Ellie's POV

I was so mad, I couldn't see straight. I drove and drove, but I had no clue where I wanted to go to get my mind off of him. Every terrible thought about him circled around in my mind. He'd pissed me off like this once before, but he actually talked to me about it. The fact that he was literally trying to avoid me was driving me crazy. I wanted to strangle someone. I wanted to punch someone, something. Not necessarily Drew, because even though I'm majorly pissed off at him at this moment, I still couldn't imagine my life without him. I just wanted to get to a place where I could be alone. Be alone with my thoughts and no one could stop me. I felt a lightbulb go off in my head. "Fuck yes, the library." I said with a sense of relief.

I pulled into the parking lot of the library. I walked inside and went to grab an intriguing book. I looked around to find a lot of people in the downstairs chill out spot. So I went to the upstairs one. Not many people were at that one because all the books upstairs are about science. I found a good spot and sat down. I opened the book and I began to let my mind run free. I love reading. It takes me to places I've never been, and also places I would love to go. I feel like I can finally be stress free when I'm in a library, reading a book.

TC's POV

I sat on the couch thinking about what I had told the guys on our camping trip. That moment replayed over and over in my head. Telling them that I was thinking about proposing to Bri was the first step to making an effort. Now I had to plan when and where I would do it.

"Teec." Jayk said interrupting my thoughts.

"Huh?" I said snapping out of my trance.

"You good?" He asked.

"Remember?" Blake said. "He's probably thinking about what he told us on the boat."

Jayk paused for a minute and looked up at the ceiling. As to say that he was thinking back to when we were on the boat. "I'm stumped, I don't--" then I guess he remembered because he stopped mid sentence. "OHH!!! Okay, yea I remember." He laughed. "So how are you going to do it?" He asked.

"I really have no clue, I don't know if I should--" I was interrupted by the sound of the door opening upstairs. "I'll tell you guys later." I whispered.

We watched as Drew and Bridget walked down the stairs. Drew with a grin on his face, and Bridget laughing. "Well, I guess things worked themselves out?" Jayk asked.

"Not quite..." Bri said. "He's going to the library to talk to her."

"How do you know she's at the library?" Blake asked.

"She's Ellie..." Jayk said. "Where else would she be if she isn't at home?"

"Good point." Blake laughed.

Drew's POV

I got in my car and drove to the library. I knew she would be there because it's like her sanctuary. Anytime she was ever mad, or confused, she'd always go to the library. I pulled into the parking lot and searched for her car. "Hahaa! There she is." I said as I saw her car and pulled into the space next to it. I walked into the library and began my search for her. I looked in the downstairs chill spot, but she wasn't in any of the chairs there, so I began to walk up stairs. I finally saw her close to the back of the library. As I was trying to sneak up to her, I was thinking in my head about what I should say, I began to remember that I left her standing in a parking lot. Then I got an idea that if one thing didn't work, I'm sure another one would. I approached the back of her chair. I kneeled down beside her, "boo!" I said quietly.

She jumped out of her chair, but she didn't look happy. "Drew, what the fuck are you doing here?" She said with a stern voice, remembering that we were indeed inside of a library. So we kept our voices down as much as possible. "So help me god, if you don't get out of this library." She said.

I could see steam coming from her ears, but I wanted to talk to her. "Babe, I want to talk to you."

"Drew, don't fucking do this. You had your chance and you blew it!" She said backing away tossing he book to the side. She began walking towards the stairs, but good thing they were pretty far away. So I had some leeway to get her to talk to me.

"Ell.. Please stop!" I said with a whisper. She stopped and looked back at me, as I finally caught up to her. Face to face. "I'm ready to talk, Bri knocked some sense into me."

"Good! You probably fucking needed it. Did she kick your balls? Because you need that too." She paused.

"Babe... I have to confess something," I began to tell her how I was feeling, but she started to walk away.

She stopped and turned. "Confess this.." She smacked me across my face and finished her walk towards the stairs. But there was still some aisles of books that no one was in. It was a huge section of the library where no one ever went so there was no one to stand around and watch a fight go down.

I grabbed her hips and pulled her to me. I kissed her lips passionately. The kind of passion that comes from both hate and love.

Ellie's POV

I wanted to pull away so bad, but I also didn't want him to let go of me. I was so conflicted at this moment. I hated what he said about the abortion, but I know in my heart that he didn't mean it. That he was probably as scared as I was about the whole thing. So I pulled away at first, but finally relaxed. And our lips moved in unison.

He broke away from the kiss for about three seconds. "We doin this?" He smiled.

I looked around for anyone that might be up here, there wasn't anyone that I noticed. "Fuck it.." I sighed as I pulled him to me and we started kissing again.
