Chapter 35: Unwanted Letter

Elle's P.O.V

The drive was tiring and boring to say the least. The whole way home the sounds of Fall Out Boy filled the car.

It was about 20 to 10 when I pulled into my driveway. Turning the car off I stepped out, grabbing my bag while doing so and shut the door.

It was pitch black out, besides the street lights that were lighting up the road, and the outside lights on houses. All that could be heard was the vehicle's passing by along the highway, and the whistles of the wind.  

Making my way up the steps of the porch, I dug around in my bag for the house key. Grasping the object, I pulled it out and went to unlock the door, but a shimmer from the mailbox caught my eye. Forgetting about unlocking the door, I made my way to the mailbox and opened it.

Inside was the usual bills, and advertisement flyers, but at the bottom was a white envelope with my name written in cursive on the front.

Taking the mail, I went to unlock the door and stepped inside. Shrugging off my coat, slipping off my boots and dropping my bag I flicked on the lights and made my way into the kitchen.

Glancing over this random envelope, I have no idea who its from. There is no postage stamp so clearly it wasn't mailed here, there's no from address. So whoever this is from must've dropped it off them selves.

I teared open the envelope, and out came a folded white piece of paper.

Unfolding the piece of paper, I began to read it.

Elle,

A few years ago you told me to stop writing you these letters, and so I did. But that doesn't mean I didn't stop watching you baby. All these years, I have been there from afar. You were just too caught up in your life of "fame" to notice. Don't think just because you left to London, I didn't follow you. I was everywhere you were. Anyways I will be seeing you sooner than you think sweetheart. xx

My heart stopped, and it felt like I couldn't breath as I read who it was from.

Seth.

At that very moment it felt like my whole world came crashing down once again. Taking shaky breaths I scrambled to fold the letter up and shove it back into the envelope.

I made sure the door was locked before rushing up the stairs to my room. Pushing the door open I went over to my dresser and pulled open the top drawer, stuffing the letter underneath a pile of clothes.

Pushing It closed, I let out a breath, and shut my eyes, trying to comprehend what I just read.

Running a hand over my face, I felt a wetness around my eyes. I hadn't even knew I started crying. A loud ring startled me, making me jump in surprise causing a glass jewelry stand that was atop of the dresser to fall onto the wooden floor and just to my fucking luck it broke.

Scrambling to get to my phone from my bag, I cautiously stepped over the pieces of glass and grabbed my phone not even looking at the caller I.D, I hit answer and brought the phone to my ear.

'What?" I harshly spoke into the phone, sniffling.

"Elle? Baby are you okay?" The soft soothing voice of Harry spoke on the other end of the line.

Relief flooded my senses when I heard his voice.

"Oh yeah yeah, I'm fine." I stupidly stuttered sniffling again.

"Are you crying? It doesn't sound like you're fine." He softly spoke.

I looked around frantically, trying to think of an excuse.
