Age Is Just A Number || Miniminter FF COMPLETED

13

Me and her mum just sat in silence.

"She seemed happy" she croaked.

"She was" I said softly.

"I've thought long and hard about this and it hurts me to know I only figured this out after she got her illness. But I accept you" she said.

"What do you mean? Accept me?" I said, confused.

"I mean if she was to fall for you again, I would accept you as her boyfriend" she continued and I was taken back.

"It kills me to see her broken at such a young age. As stupid as it sounds, you're her only real remedy. Although she's practically better she's still dying in the inside, you're the only one that can heal her....and she's the only one that can heal you" she said croaking.

"Thank you" I just said as I felt myself tearing up "I can't believe I'm getting this emotional, I haven't cried since I was a little boy and she's managed to get me to cry more times in the past year than I have throughout my life" I nervously giggled.

"You're like an egg and she's the pan, she cracked your surface, finding the soft and sloppy bit inside" she giggled "Ellis, has a way of doing that to people" she smiled.

"Yeah she really do-"

"Mum?"

It was Ellis standing there in the doorway. Great.

"Ellis!" her mum said.

"What is he doing here?" She said and darted her eyes at me.

I got up and walked over to her, she grew silent as my height over whelmed her.

"You need to go" she said but knew she didn't want me to.

"Ellis" I said as our bodies were inches away and I towered over her.

"Simon" she replied then put a hand on my chest and I put my hand on her face.

"Please don't do this" she pleaded.

"I'm sorry" I said then walked away, leaving the house.

I walked out and shut the door behind me, I let out a huge gust of relief. Then started to walk home.

----Ellis's POV-------

I turned to face my mu as I heard the door shut.

"Come. Sit down" she said and I hobbled along to the sofa.

"I invited him over to tell him that this needed to stop and that I accept him" rage overwhelmed me.

"So it took you this long, this entire of my suffering and near death to realise that he was the only things to MAKE ME OK!?" I said starting to scream.

"Ellis-"

"IM DYING ON THE INSIDE! I'm so broken and lost without him! And now I don't know if I can go back because I'm not prepared to put my life on the line again!" I watched her eyes become starry.

"Families are meant to support eachother no matter what, mum. Not tear down their happiness!" I said then stormed out ignoring the pain I was in.

I walked up to my en suite bathroom and ran the bath. I felt a weird sensation in my stomach then rushed to the toilet, I threw up and it was so painful as it was a mixture of bile and food, it felt like it was burning my insides. I collapsed to the floor and slid down the wall by the toilet holding my stomach, I can't bare the pain anymore.
