LA Love • {Dolan fanfic}

Chapter 11

Elena's POV:

I woke up and looked at the date. 27th October. My mum's death anniversary. I thought the pain would go away but its not. "Elenaaaaaa!!" Bella yelled. It was her date with Grayson today and she wanted me to help her get ready. I have to act happy for her. I helped her get ready and then Ethan and Grayson knocked on the door. Gray bought Bella some roses and Ethan bought me food. Bella and Gray left.

"What film do you want to watch?" Ethan asked me.
"I don't know anything." I said back.
"Are you alright?" Ethan asked me.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Let's watch any Fast and Furious film. They are my favourite." Ethan put it on and we sat next to each other. He put his arm around me and I had butterflies in my stomach.

My phone started to ring. It was Jeremy. My brother. "My brother is calling me. You carry on watching. I'll go to my room and speak." I told Ethan.

"Hello." I said
"Hey Elena. We haven't spoke in ages." He said. He sounded like he was crying.
"Yeah I miss you."
"I miss you too. I went to mums grave today and put some flowers there." I didn't respond. I didn't know what to say. "Elena are you still there?"
"Yeah I just got lost in my thoughts."
"Are you going to come London anytime soon?"
"No I need to get settled in."
"I miss my younger sister and I need you. You would have never left if mum didn't die."
"But mum is dead Jeremy. I can't change the past." He didn't reply. "I'm sorry Jer. I didn't mean to say it like that. It's just I miss mum too and I miss you. You can come to LA to see me."
"I'll think about it Elena. I got to go now. I'll talk to you soon. Take care. I love you.
"I love you too."

I hung up the phone and I broke down and dropped on the floor. I couldn't hold back the tears anymore. I miss my mum. I need her. Why did she have to go? I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned my head and saw Ethan. I stood up and hugged him and cried even harder. "What's wrong Elena?" He asked as he was hugging me back. I couldn't speak. He sat me down on my bed and wiped my eyes. "It's my mum's death anniversary." I said. "I'm so sorry." He replied. "It's all his fault." I muttered. "Who's fault?"
"My dad. He left us and my mum couldn't take the pain and she... she killed herself." I said crying even more. Ethan grabbed me and hugged me tightly. "Hey, dry those beautiful eyes of yours and let's watch the film and get your mind off of things." He held my hand and took me to the living room. We sat down on the sofa and cuddled whilst watching the film. I looked at his beautiful face and realised I was in love with Ethan Dolan.
