I Will Carry You

Part 7

Eloise Pov 

"Eloise I am so sorry," My mother says with blood shot eyes. 

"Since when do you apologize to me? You have treated me like crap ever since dad left and now you decide to say sorry," I confront my mom. All these years of being afraid to come home because my mom would always accuse me of something.

She looks down at the ground. "That's because I almost lost you. I don't know what I would do if you were gone."

"Yea you would probably start yelling at the walls for everything," I usually never stand up to my mom. But at this moment, she can't hurt me. My dad is right here. 

"That's enough Eloise. Your mom apologized. Well since we got that out of the way I want to let you know that I will be taking Eloise back with me to Nevada for the week or so. You need to get help and stop the drinking. I will be taking Eloise in the morning so she has time to pack" He explained to my mom. 

"Wait do I not even get to have a say in this?" I ask. He came over here just to take me back to Nevada with him. What is even up there?

"Do you really think I'm going to let you stay here after your own mother was going to be the cause of your death? Thought so. It will only be for a little while unless your mother can't get the help she needs."

My mother had nothing to say to that. She just made her way back to the kitchen table and sat down. Great. I'm going to Nevada and I wont be able to hangout with Andy. Well I think we are friends. Yea, definitely  we are friends. But how would I talk to him? I never got his number. Ugh. 

"Go pack kiddo so you are ready in the morning" My dad told me. 

"If you insist," I replied and headed to my room. I grabbed the suitcase from under my bed and placed it on my bed. I opened my dresser drawers and just grabbed shirts. I didn't know how long I was going to be there so minds well bring as much as my suitcase can hold. I grabbed pairs of pants and all of the essentials I'll need to survive for the next week. Or weeks....

When I finished packing I put my stuff in the corner of my room. I leave my room and see my mom and dad surrounded around the family computer. I could see that they were looking into addiction help groups. 

"Eloise why don't you go to your boyfriends house for a little bit so me and your mother can get this stuff sorted out." My dad told me. 

"Uh first of all, he is not my boyfriend he is just a friend and second of all, I'm going to do that because I have nothing else better to do."  

"Ok honey. If he kisses you don't tell me because then I'll just say I told you so. "

"Haha very funny. Bye" I said as I walked out of the door.  I walked over to Andy's and waited a couple seconds before I knocked on the door. It took a while for someone to open the door. When it finally swung open I made eye contact with Andy. He had a big grin on his face. 

"Back so soon," He asks playfully.

"Yea," I said not in the mood for jokes. 

"Uh well come in," I walked in his house and he shut the door. "What would you like to do,"

"Could we go up to your room?" I ask trying not to sound inappropriate. I don't want to send him the wrong signals.  

"Sure," We walked up the stairs and went into his room. I sat on his bed and he took a seat in his computer chair. We just sat there for a couple minutes but I finally worked up the courage to tell him I'm leaving. 

"My dad is making me go to Nevada with him." I told Andy. His eyes shot up to my face. 

"Wait. Is he making you move there with him?"

"No he is just making me stay with him for a week or two until my mom can get her life in shape. But knowing her it's going to take more than two weeks to stop drinking."

"Ok good that your not moving in with him officially. It would suck to start an awesome friendship to just have it broken apart the very next day because the other one moves." 

"Could I possibly have your number so that I can text you when I am up there?" I was almost afraid to hear his answer. 

"No," He said. His face was all serious. 

"Oh-"

"I'm just kidding. Hand me your phone," He says laughing.  I grab out my phone and chuck it at him. He has really good reflexives so he caught it. "Ooo someone is a little feisty" He said as he put his number in my phone. When he gave my phone back I saw that he put a smiley face next to his name. I smile at my phone then I turn it off. I look back at Andy and he is messing with his hair. 

"You good?" I ask

"No I feel like my hair is a disaster," He said.

"Wow I didn't know guys freaked out about their hair,"

"Well when you have hair as great as mine you will always freak out about it."

"Haha ok," I said as I got up and stood in front of Andy. I started brushing my fingers through his hair and grabbed the strands that were on the wrong side of his part. When I finished fixing his hair I asked him "Does your hair feel better?" 

"Yes it feels all good now. Thank you Eloise," 

"Haha no problem." He started spinning around in his chair. Watching him made me dizzy. 

"Oh I have a perfect idea on what we can do. Lets go on an adventure!" He said jumping up and grabbing his car keys.

"Why not," I said as I followed him out of his room and to the outdoors.
