A Chance At Love

The first step

Elizabeth's P.O.V
I was laying in bed, I had finally stopped crying, my face was puffy and my eyes were bright red, my makeup was smudged all over my face and my hands were wet from wiping my tears away. I heard a notification on my phone go off, I picked up my phone and looked at the glaring screen, of course, it was a message from Grayson.
Grayson xx:
hey I had a great time today, thank you for not telling anyone about ditching school x
I whimpered slightly as I read the text, knowing that I couldn't reply, mum would be checking my phone anyway so it's not like I could reply in secret anyway. To take my mind off things I opened up my laptop which I hadn't used since I had arrived in America, and opened up Netflix, I put on The Hunger Games and laid comfortably in bed, that was until my door was slowly pushed open, I look over to see who had opened it and saw Josh stood in the doorway, he also had a red, puffy face as if he'd been crying "go away" I mumbled to him, I couldn't bare the sight of him "mum wants you to come eat dinner" he whimpered back to me, I sighed "well I'm not hungry" I huffed, he sighed, then rolled his eyes "she also wants you to feed the parrots" he added "why can't you or Brooke do it, they're your pets too" I groaned, "no, they will only let you feed them" Josh told me "ugh" I complained as I paused the film and dragged myself out of bed, I shoved past Josh as I glumly dragged my feet along with me. My parents and Brooke were sat at the dinner table eating cheeseburgers with fries, my favourite. I ignored the fact that they were eating my favourite meal and went straight to the parrots, I was now able to stroke them without giving them food, so I gently stroked them on the back as I fed them they're food. I turned around after feeding them and washed my hands, I then headed to go up the stairs "where do you think you're going?" I heard my dad ask, I sighed and stood still at the bottom of the stairs "to my room" I said back "come eat dinner" he said, I sighed "I'm not hungry" I lied "it's your favourite, you never skip burgers" dad said, trying to persuade me to eat, I said nothing "fine, starve yourself then" dad muttered to himself, "maybe I will" I spat back, I ran up the stairs and slammed my bedroom door shut.
