Ellie and I

Ellie and I Part 5

*WWOOOOOHHH* (sound of a hot pot)

"Excuse me ladies my water is ready" Bella says as she quickly walks back into her house followed by George.

...

I freeze.

"Ellie I-"

"Shay". She said cutting me off.

"Don't tell me the ones who beat you up were.." She looks at me in the eyes seriously.

I look back in sympathy.

"Im sorry I didn't tell you, I didn't wan't you to get pissed, please don't do anything crazy" I say.

I don't even know where I'm going with this, I wish I could just go back in time and change all of this.

"No fucking way" Ellie says letting me go and running toward Wilson High School.

I fall to the ground.

My legs, my stomach, I feel like a baby, unable to do anything.

"Ellie! Please stop!" I yell.

Ellie continues to run.

I pull myself up.

Pain flows through my body.

I have to stop her, or else...

Who knows what she will do!?

Ellie could get hurt again, or even worse.

Strength indulges in me,

I run,

My legs are controlling themselves,

I have no idea how I'm actually running,

I feel no pain, just determination.

Why did Ellie make me feel this way?

I sprint in order to catch Ellie.

I was running fast, seriously I had never run so fast in my life.

I finally catch up to her and grab her arm.

Ellie gasps, I guess she was surprised that I caught up to her in my shape.

I was also surprised at myself.

"Please.. stop.. Ellie" I say panting.

"Shay... How the hell did you catch up to me?" Ellie asks in shock.

How did I? I'm also questioning it myself. How did I manage to catch up to her in this bad of condition? I could hardly walk just before this.

"I don't know..." I say continuing to hold her.

Ellie turns around and looks at me.

Suddenly tremendous amounts of pain surge through my body and legs.

"Ah!"

I let go of Ellie and fall to my knees.

"Shay!" Ellie says getting down next to me.

"I'm okay." I say continuing to breath heavily.

Ellie grabs my arm and puts her arm around my neck.

"I'm taking you home now. You're in no condition to be up" Ellie says helping me up.

I get up and continue to walk or should I say limp, with her.

...

During the whole walk we said nothing.

I couldn't tell if Ellie was mad or confused.

Hell, she was probably pissed and fucking confused.

...

"This is my stop" I say after 5 minutes or so of walking.

We finally let go of each other.

Ellie not saying a single word.

I sigh.

"Thanks for the help Ellie" I say as I turn and walk up the stairs.

I stop for a second.

"Ellie, I'm really sorr-" when suddenly,

Ellie wraps her arms around me and hugs me deeply.

I grow in shock.

I can feel my face get red again.

"No Shay, I'm sorry for getting you involved with those fuckers".

The feeling of her hug was so comfortable. I felt so happy.

I turn around and Ellie quickly removes her hands.

I smile.

"It's okay Ellie, but please, don't get involved with any fights with those girls" I say.

Ellie looks at the ground as if she was thinking about it, and then at me.

"Fine, but I'm only doing this because your a cripple now" Ellie says with a cute laugh.

She's adorable.

I give out a small laugh.

"Okay well, see you after the weekend" she says,

Ellie turns around and walks away.

I watch as she leaves.

After each step that she takes I wish I could just go up to her and hug her again. But I know I would never.

I limp into my house.

"I'm back!" I yell.

"Welcome home honey" my mom and dad say in the Living room.

I still don't want them to know about my injury and the story with Wilson High School, but I will tell them if I cant move at all.

I get my ice pack that I left in the night before and go upstairs into my room.

I fall onto my bed, look up at the ceiling and then close my eyes taking deep breathes.

I still wish I could feel Ellie's hug,

Wait, I am now just realizing what I'm saying.

Why do I want Ellie's hugs so much?

Because shes Ellie and I like to be in her warmth,

Why was I able to run even though my legs were already beaten up enough?

Because it was to protect Ellie,

Why do I actually want to be with Ellie?

I finally realize.

Because I like Ellie.
