Golden Girl- Book 2

The fall

"Niall, I got drunk that night and woke up naked next to Louis and you at the door. I swear I didn't know what happened," Ell explained.

"You were right then you said that you could be in the arms of another man once I left," Niall said as he ran his hand through his hair.

"But you didn't leave. I asked you to go so I could think things over."

"Does sex help you think?"

"I have no idea what happened! I swear on my brother's grave, I woke up in my bed and Louis was right next to me. I can't even remember if we had sex or not! Please believe me."

"Ell, I love you. I want to believe you, but I have this huge knife in my back that I need to get out before I make any decisions."

Ell took Niall's hands in hers and she said, "Niall, I would never do that to you. Ever. I got super drunk last night. Maybe Louis seized the moment."

"You're saying that my best friend too advantage of you while you were drunk?"

"It's the only scenario that makes sense!"

"This makes more sense to me. You have been playing me this whole time and when you thought you got rid of me, you and Louis hooked up thinking I wouldn't know about it."

"Why are you two on the roof? We have work to do," Liam said from the stair door.

Niall walked past Ell and followed Liam down the stairs.

Ell stood there in shock. She was loosing Niall. He was the best thing that happened to her in years. All from something she had no control over.

"Do you want anything for lunch?" Liam asked Ell.

"No. Not hungry," Ell mumbeled as she continued to organize papers.

Liam looked at Ell sadly. He had to tell her. But he promised he wouldn't. She was so miserable though. It wasn't fair to her. Or Niall. He had to say something. But Harry would kill him. It has been almost two months since it happened. Does it really matter now?

"Why are you still here?" Ell asked coldly.

"Um, uh," Liam said debating weather or not to tell her.

"Liam, I have work to do," Ell said as she returned to her paper stacks.

"Ell, there's something you need to know," Liam said knowing he was going to get himself into trouble.

"What?" Ell asked couriously.

~

"HARRY!" Ell shouted as she searched for him.

"What?" Harry asked slightly worried.

"You son of a..." Ell said as she punched him in the nose.

"Ooooh. Ouch! What the bloody hell was that for?" Harry yelled he held his nose.

Ell just kept the punches coming. One blow after another.

"I shouldn't have told her," Liam said enjoy the fight but knowing he would pay for it later.

Zayn quickly rushed in after hearing Harry's cry for help and laughed.

"Don't just stand there! Get it off of me!" Harry screamed.

Zayn and Liam carefully lifted Ell off of the bleeding Harry with ease.

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT YOU MONSTER?" Ell screeched as she tried to get out of Zayn and Liam's grasp.

"What did I do?" Harry asked as he slowly got up from the floor.

"I don't know, maybe you told Louis to wait till I'm drunk to have sex with me because I wouldn't sleep with him any other way," Ell shouted.

"Liam, I'm going to kill you," Harry said as he made a fist with his hand and shook it at him.

"She had to know!" Liam protested.

"You ruined what me and Niall had you bastard," Ell spat.

"I was just joking! How could I know if he took it seriously," Harry defended.

"You joke about stuff like that? You're sick," Ell said as she yank herself free from Zayn and Liam and walked away.

"That was interesting," Zayn said to break the awkward silence.

Liam smacked Zayn in the stomach and followed Ell up the stairs, back to the roof.

"My mum was right. I was a mistake. I should have never been born," Liam heard as he stepped into the open.

Liam looked around till he saw Ell leaning against the edge, looking out at the city.

"Don't say that," Liam said as he walked slowly to her.

"You know, I think all the time that the world would be better if I wasn't a burden to it," Ell said sadly.

"Ell, stop talking like that."

"You know it's true. I'm just a burden. An object. Not a real person. That was what I always was. Never had the chance to really live. And that's all I want. To live. But every time I try, something stops me. Being with Niall made me feel alive. Not like a drone I am treated like. And He was taken away from me," Ell said as she sat on the ledge.

"You can still fix it. Harry would just explain everything to Niall and it will be as good as it was," Liam said as he started to get worried.

"No. Don't you see? Niall would question everything I do. Louis would find out the hard way. It would never be the same."

"Ell, please move away from the edge, please," Liam pleaded.

"Why? Who really cares?" Ell asked with watery eyes.

"More than you think."

"Who really, deeply cares if I'm gone. Just think about that? Who would be relived that I'm no long there to be worried about? Who would cry for me?"

"Ell, do you really want to die from this silly fight with Niall? Is that a good reason it end your own life?"

"It's not just the fight. My own mum wishes I never existed. Plenty of people want me dead. My father left me. He was the only person who loved me for be and let me be free. My family sees me as nothing but a burden. No guy ever stays. They just leave when they are done using me. The only guys who didn't use me left me. And.. and," Ell said but couldn't finish.

"And what?" Liam asked as he slowly grabbed Ell's arm.

"I'm sorry," Ell said with tears running down her face.

"Ell, if you dare jump, I will jump after you and you will have my blood on your hands," Liam said as he pulled Ell away for the edge.

Ell buried her head into Liam's chest and cried. He let her. She needed it.

Ell gripped Liam's sholder's and gasped.

"What?" Liam asked as he started to look around.

Still clutching onto Liam, Ell threw herself off the edge.

A bullet grazed Liam's head.

Liam held onto Ell's body as they fell.

They both let tears fly freely as they were seconds away from the hard cement.

Ell gave Liam an apologetic look.

Liam closed his eyes in fear.

He didn't want to die.

Author's Note-- Cliff hanger. What do you think happened that made Ell jump and forcing Liam to jump? Where did the bullet come from? Where's Collin? Ponder upon those questions for a while. Please vote and comment!
