Story of My Life

Chapter 3

The scent of lilac filled my body as we walked into the house. The house was quite big. Cindy said there was about 4 bedrooms and a bathroom for each.

"I had a friend of mine here set everything up," she started "I sent down the money, she bought some furniture. It's lovely isn't it?"

I nodded in awe, with a unmistakable grin on my face.

CINDY'S POV

I looked over at Ellie and she was smiling brightly. She has a beautiful smile. It's hard to believe that such a brilliant girl like her has been hurt as much as she has.

The thought of her going through all of the things her parents put her through made me frown. The smile slowly disappearing on my face as I start to think of what she's witnessed in her life. How can a girl seem so happy but be so damaged? A girl of her age should never have dealt with these things. My eyes started to well up by this point.

As Ellie looked over at me, she shot me a worried look. "Are you ok Cindy? You look upset.."

"Oh I'm alright I'm just so happy you're here." I lied. I really hope this move makes her happy again. It's really hard seeing someone like her do this to herself.

"Why don't you go upstairs and see your room sweetie!!" I say, changing the subject.

She let out a squeal and ran up the staircase as I followed with a laugh to her new room.

"Oh my god Cindy! I fucking love it!!"

I was shocked by her choice of language but I didn't mind. She was just excited.

"Glad you do kiddo!"

ELLIE'S POV

The room only had the furniture in it, but I loved it. The room was huge. It had 2 big windows that showed a bedroom to the house next door, but I didn't mind.

"I had no idea what color you wanted the walls so I left it for you to decide!" Cindy explained.

I told her that was perfectly fine, thanked her for what seemed to be the millionth time and gave her a hug and kiss on the cheek. She laughed and left me to unpack.

When she shut my door I ran over to my suitcases and hauled out everything from clothes to makeup. Everything. Once I found my stereo, I plugged my iPhone into it and blared my music while dancing and singing along to it. As I was putting my clothes away into the beautiful dresser by one of the windows, the song "Clarity" by Zedd featuring Foxes and I immediately stopped what I was doing, grabbed my hairbrush and went over to the mirror and started singing and dancing.

When the chorus came up, I started belting it. "IF I LOVED INSANITY WHY ARE YOU MY CLARITY" I started dancing all crazy until I was interrupted by my phone going off. I felt embarrassed as I unplugged my phone to see who texted.

From Jai<3

Nice singing and dance moves Hun lol xx

My face turned bright red as I tried to figure out how he could possibly see me. The address he gave me is a couple blocks away.

To Jai<3

How the FUCK did you see me omg xx

I waited, putting the rest of my clothes away. About a minute later he texted back.

From Jai<3

Look out the window babe xx

I looked up slowly and walked hesitantly towards the window, and only to see Skip, Jai, and Beau all looking and laughing at me. As I opened my window, their laughs got louder.

"What the fuck are you doing spying on me?!?" I shouted with a laugh, kind of pissed off. But I had to admit, it was sorta funny. My comment only caused more laughs.

I just stood there with my arms folded just waiting for them to calm down.

After about 5 minutes, they were done laughing.

Us 4 were just standing there in silence until Daniel spoke up.

"We're coming over."

Before I could reply, they slammed the window shut and drew the curtains.

I laughed silently to myself as I walked away from the window and went back to my suitcases. I found my makeup bag and brought it over to my bureau with the mirror and applied my makeup over again. As I did, I heard the door open and them talking to Cindy. I guess they knew her already. I have no idea how but they did.

As I was looking for my mascara in my bag, I felt something cold touch the tips of my fingers. I pulled it out and it was a little earring case.

My heart started to race because I knew that there wasn't earrings in the case. There was something else. Something so small but controlled me.

As I started to open it, the shiny silver pieces of metal seemed to stare back at me.

As I heard voices and heavy foot steps getting louder and closer I started to panic.

What if they saw the box and wanted to see inside?? I quickly opened my shorts drawer and buried the box underneath the clothing.

I ran back over to my makeup, my heart still pounding as the door flew open.
