(a few outfits from Ellie's new makeover;)
Ellie's POV
" I can't believe you talked me into this."
" what you look hot." Macy argues
" I threw out all my old clothes, got a completely new wardrobe, and dyed my hair." (In media.)
Macy and I had been at the mall for what seemed to be forever. I got my hair dyed and my nails done. I have to say I never new platinum blonde hair could look good on me, and I don't like to boast, but damn I look good!
Macy was so right! I needed a new look. I needed a fresh start from what happened today.
Gabe hurt me in ways I never thought was possible. It seems everything we've gone through, everything we've said to each other was a lie. I never thought Gabe could do something like this but even nerds are wrong too.
" Hey, are you okay?" Macy asks
I know she talking about from earlier today. And I appreciate that she didn't bring it up except now.
" not really." I reply from my closet.
" I'm always here, El." She reminds, knowing I don't want to talk about it.
" I know." And smile " so you wanna stay over tonight?"
I put the final touches on the new wardrobe.
" awe El you know I would but Uncle Pablo and his god awful kids are coming down this weekend." She makes a gag face
" ahhh uncle Pablo!... Who is that?" I wonder
She laughs
" the one the lived in Mexíco."
" oh! You had a uncle that lived in Mexico?"
"Yes." She giggled
Macy is like 1/8 Mexican. I don't know how that's possible when her father is like half but I don't ask any questions.
" see you later amiga!" She shouts
"Amiga?"
" mom and dad is making learn my culture." She does another gag face
" good luck with that." I laugh and walk back inside.
Today has been the worst, yet best day off life. I know it's confusing but that's how it feels. I check my phone.
14 miss calls: Gabe
28 text messages: Gabe
I delete them without even reading them. I know what there going to say anyway...
I put my phone down and walk over to get some pajamas and my teeth brush. It's only nine, but today has been stressful I just need to sleep..
" Ellie.." I hear " Ellie.." someone whispers creepily in my ear.
Oh my gosh, is that a ghost.
" El." "Ellie.."
Omg it touched me. It's hands grab my shoulders and shake me. I open my eyes, and punch up.
" Ow what the.. Ellie my nose is bleeding."
" What the hell Gabe!!! You scared me crap-less! Don't you dare get blood on my on light grey carpet!"
I run to my bathroom and grab and damp black rag. I hand it to him..
" what are you doing here anyway? I'm still really really mad at you." I sit back on my bed.
" I know I know. But.." I snicker " what."
" nothing.. go back to your pathetic apology I won't except..."
" thank you." I giggle " what?"
" say 'hi I'm Mike Wazowski'"
" Hi I'm Mike Wazowski?" He said it more like a question. I laughed more than I should've " why are you making fun of me?"
" well once you have your nose covered and sound like Mike Wazowski, it's funny." I chuckle
" oh." He fake laughs "so we're good?"
" no, that doesn't mean I forgive you!"
" Ellie! I'm sorry okay? Isn't that good enough?"
" Gabe you can't be serious. My life has been complete hell because of you. The bullying, the names, the laughing, the cutting.." His eyes go wide from shock.
But I go on.
" The depression, the endless amount of insecurities, and.. and the suicide thoughts.." my voice barely a whisper
" Gabe you don't know how bad it has been. I just tell you the name calling. But really it's been people hitting, kicking, words that I can't speak cause they're that bad. The threats Gabe! I freaking got death threats. You cannot even fathom what I've gone through. I have to take pills for depression! You think it's for migraines, no it's for my life that you made hell!!!" I whisper scream.
My parents are asleep I don't want to bother them. I'm in complete sobs. I can't control it. He doesn't know what I've went through. There is stuff even best friends can't tell..
" Why didn't you tell me that stuff was happening to you?" He wasn't even concerned just angry.
" Why would I? So you can go tell Alison?" I snap
" Ellie! I said I was sorry!"
" Gabe!! Sorry isn't going to cut it this time. It's going to take a lot more than just sorry to fix everything you've done to me! I thought we were friends but it was practically just I lie! Gabe I don't think I can trust you..." I was cut off by his lips
He pulls away.
"Why didn't you kiss me back?"
" cause your a player." I say bitterly
" E-"
" Gabe, I finally know what I am to you.."
" you mean other than my best friends?" He laughs
" No, I was- I was just some game to you. You think you'd get to know me.."
" I met you in kindergarten! I thought cooties was as bad as it got."
" okay let me move forward a bit," I chuckle " I.."
" just shut up Ellie! I'm sorry okay! I'm sorry for everything! I'm sorry for people bullying you. I'm sorry for telling Alison. I'm sorry for not telling you about this. I'm sorry for everything. I shouldn't have done it! I was stupid! And I know I can't take back what I told Alison but I am truly sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I stop talking to Alison about mid sophomore year. Im sorry for all the pain I've caused you! I never want to see you in pain Ellie! I love you!"
My heart flutters as he said I love you. But then reality comes back, he loves me like a sister. He'd never love me the way I love him. I'm practically his sister.
" I've loved you since day one! I did, do, and always will!" He gasps for air.
" Gabe-"
" yes?" Hope was in his eyes
" I did love you." Was my simple reply
A tear escapes his eye.
" I'm- im so sorry." He says barely a whisper and leaves my room.
As soon as he is gone, my knees become weak. I fall to the floor in sobs. I can't control them, they're just flowing.
I sob until I can't anymore, it's like 2 o'clock in the morning. I finally just hug my knees, and ball up, finally drifting off to sleep.
