For the Win

No Hope

Sorry these chapters are really short but I will try to make them longer :)

It's been a whole week and no announcement of the winner.

Every day I ran home to my room, prayed and hoped and checked my laptop, still no sign. Thats how the past few days of my life went, repeating and repeating and repeating.

Friday. My day went perfectly and the only thing that would make it better is me winning.

I went home and immediately checked my laptop. Just then, my heart sank to my stomach. Now I know how people feel when they say that. It sucks. Feels like you've lost hope forever.

I skipped school the next day because I was too heartbroken to see anyones faces. My best friend in the whole world, Taylor kept calling and texting me, but I ignored her, throwing my phone at the wall.

" Ellie please answer your phone I'm worried about you. I know your depressed, but it's not the end of the world. You know I'll always be here for you. Love you."Taylor's voicemail ended.

Just then I realized something. Taylor was obsessed with Nash and the reason I did this whole thing was for Taylor, she was the main person in my life I would do anything for her.

I am so stupid to just think this is all about me. I have to be the bigger person. Not once did I think about how Taylor felt. How disappointed she must be. I am a selfish person with no soul.

' What am I still doing in bed?!' I thought to myself. I should get out there. I can't sit around crying over a guy who just sees me as one of the fans. I have to stand up for myself and not let something that simple bring me down!

It was lunch time and I met Taylor at school. We went to an area call the 'Neighborhood' and grabbed a bite to eat and walked around.

"I'm sorry" I told Taylor

"Why are you sorry Ellie, theres nothing to be sorry about."

"I didn't win the contest and you didn't get to meet Nash." I shed a tear.

"Awe Ellie, don't feel like that. I'd rather be with you than some Vine famous hottie who I don't think knows me nor likes me." She went in for a hug when I just started to bawl my eyes out. It's incredibly idiotic that I'm wasting my tears over some boy.

But that was just the thing.

He wasn't just some boy.
