I Miss you (H.S Vampire)

Chapter 24:

(Ellie's POV)

I couldn't listen to anymore of their conversation, it hurt too much hearing their true feelings. After getting changed into old black skinny jeans that I had found somehow in the back of my wardrobe, I shoved them on leaving Harry's T-shirt on to feel close to him, leaving my feet bare.

I decided to go downstairs and sit in the garden not wanting to go into the room that only reminds me of the sadness I had. Even with the rain throwing it down, the majority of me was telling me being out in the rain was better than being stuck in the house. When I was finally sat down on the bench outside under the apple tree, I looked around and saw that this house was a massive lie.

Our family was so hell bent in making sure that we fit the typical role of the witch family, trying to be the protectors and leaders of our community when realistically they could never control me and we were never truly traditional with our methods of dealing with things. I heard the back door open and shuffle, seeing in the corner of my eye my mother's figure gracefully enter where I was. I turned my head away knowing full well that the only reason she came out here was to get answers and pretend to be the good cop. But when she sat down next to me, her comment actually took me by surprise.

"I think we need to talk." She spoke. The rain was lighter under the tree than it was in the open so

"I'm not in the mood." I answered staring blankly in front of me, focusing my attention on the flowers around the pond. Even in the dead of night, the garden was illuminated for security.

"You can fool your father by staying quiet but I'm not stupid." She stated. I furrowed my eyebrows turning my head to look at her reaction but she was reaction-less. Her face didn't say anything, for the first time in a long time her face relaxed.

"You left in a dress and came back in a shirt." She continued making me speechless. What could I say? So instead I turned back to the front trying to be brave about it knowing that whatever was going to happen next, I wouldn't let her think I was weak enough for them to trap me again.

"You found the way out, didn't you?" She asks and I simply nod in response.

"I thought so" Commenting before I said anything, we watched as a soul appeared in front of our eyes, the figure taking me back.

"Tom?"I quizzed gaining his attention.

"Oh my god" I muttered standing up instantly walking towards him cautiously. I stopped with enough distance to make sure I was safe enough considering he was the reason I ended up back here.

"Ellie? We thought you were dead" He asked surprised to see me. How had he died for him to be brought here?

"You can't get rid of me that easily." I replied knowing we didn't have that much time to waste.

"I'm so sorry. I was angry for so long and I had no control of my anger and then -" He began rambling his apology but I didn't need to hear it, especially with my mother right behind us with a good hearing distance to eavesdrop like I had done to her earlier.

"I'm alive alright? You don't need to worry." I concluded

"I'll give you a minute." My mum spoke from behind me. I knew she was walking away but I didn't give her a glance because I didn't have time too.

"He's coming to find you. Well your body but I told him about the portal and he'll put two and two together." His comments making me feel relief and worry all at the same time. I closed my eyes in relief but fear was drawn when I realised he would come here to his death.

"He did this to you didn't he?" I asked referring to Harry knowing that he had some part to play in his death.

"No it was the portal. It killed me instantly when I helped Harry come into the astral plane. I don't know what you see in him." He spoke instead not giving me any details. He was here? I wanted to ask how Harry was after I left and what happened. I felt my stomach fall. 

"The same thing you saw in me I guess." I answered half smiling felling a tad awkward with my mother right behind us fidgeting.

"Never compare yourself to that monster. You are worth more than that." Tom carried on whilst she walked away.

"I want you to know something before you go. I heard everything you said. I did love you, when we first started dating. And I'm sorry those feelings changed. I hated hurting you the way I did but I couldn't be with you with everything that was going on at the time. You were used as a pawn in a game and I'm sorry." I confessed looking anywhere else but at him.

"Well we both changed." He said making the awkward tension a little easier. His aged features reminding me of how long had passed. But that all changed when I noticed his features were becoming less vivid, as if he were fading like I had done not so long ago.

"Ellie ... I ..." He hesitantly spoke before I interrupted him half-smiling.

"-I know." We stood silent as he faded away into the air. He had so quickly gone from being to alive to then being nothing. The rain had now made my whole body completely soaked as I continued to stand where I was unsure as to what I should do and feel next. Harry was here and I needed to find him.
