Far From Joy » Ellie Goulding [au]

Chapter Ten

[I lied about friday, sorry. I know you guys aren't ready for this. I just finished this and I can't be bothered to make you guys wait any longer. So have fun reading the longest chapter yet.]

[oh, I guess I should also mention, with how much time i'm able to invest in this book now that the olympics are temporarily over. I would see there also being an update on Friday. Not as large as this one obvs bc I'll never be able to top this chapters length, but it'll be a regular 5-7 page chapter so holler.]

Chapter Ten

•Taylor's Point of View•

July 24th 2013

"I'm so sorry Bruno. I can't make it to the rest, I hope you can find somebody to replace me for all those dates i'm going to be missing, I really was looking forward to the rest of the tour, you lads are mental but something major has come up and I can't continue the tour, i'm so sorry Bruno." I heard an english accent apologize and instantly recognized it to be Ellie's. I rolled over and groaned slightly showing Ellie I was awake now.

"Thank you so much for being so understanding Bruno, see you soon hopefully yeah." She answered back to whatever Bruno had told her.

"Yeah, see you around then." She smiled

"Bye." She said before hanging up.

I took a deep breath in and lifted my head before letting the air escape my lungs and my head fell back onto i'm guessing Ellie's pillow since I had rolled completely over and I wasn't on the floor yet.

"Still tired?" Ellie asked and obviously I nodded

"It's only eight, if you can you should go back to sleep." She advised

"I was thinking a shower would be better than sleep." I stated and Ellie obviously got the vibe I hadn't of had the best sleep.

"Oh for sure, the shower's just to the left. Right in front of the living area, love." Ellie told me and I sat up and sat over to my side of the bed, Ellie's hair was damp and she was wearing a black tank top with simple black tights to match. I on the other hand was still wearing the clothes I had been three days prior. I hadn't had a shower for three days. Just the thought of such bad hygiene made me shudder.

"Thanks." I mentioned, grabbing my phone from my purse. Forty-three percent. Not bad for two days without charge.

"Oh, and darling. I was wondering what you thought about going to your- um, house and grabbing a couple changes of clothes, then going shopping after?" She asked and I mean she didn't need to take me shopping but getting a few things of clothing so I could get myself out of these ones would be great.

"I'd be up for that." I smiled weakly remembering the way I had left my damned room. If only I would've cleaned it, i'd never not clean my room ever again, I'd never trash a room like I had before, and I would certainly not leave the trashed room, trashed. I had learned a lesson that was so pointless to learn it wasn't funny nor would it ever be described as remotely even close to funny. Losing both your parents at the same time has to be the hardest thing ever to endure, I had never cried like this before, not even when my little guppy fish; gubbles, died when I was five.

"Would you like to borrow some clothes, love?" Ellie asked me and I nodded right away.

"Are you taller than me? I'll find something a tad bit baggy on me and give it to you." She added and I smiled back at her, bless her kind soul.

She took out a thick black long sleeved slogan shirt with the phrase 'Teenage Runaways' written on it, next she grabbed a pair of long pants made out of the really comfortable material I had forgotten the name of, black again.
