Not Alone: A Starkid Fanfiction

Chapter Fifty One

ELLAS POV
~•~•~•~•~•~•
When I got home that night I  immediately collapsed on my bed. I was so tired, it was pretty late and I was busy all day.  Nate strolled into the room after me. He was in a particularly bad mood, he had a crappy evening and now I was waiting for him to start bitching about my friends.

"So that was something wasn't it Ella? Did you have a good time?" Nate said smugly. 
"I actually did" I said.
"I honestly don't know how you did.  I mean Dylan and that Jim, they were okay but the others, I don't know how you stand them".
I stayed silent for a moment. "Yeah but they're my friends" I said quietly.
"I don't like Joey either, he's a major jerk of you ask me".
I was suddenly filled with anger.
"No Nate! You're the only jerk around here! First you insist on coming to Michegan with me and then when you meet the people that mean the most to me you are insensitive and mean, honestly I have had enough. We're over!".
"Youre breaking up with me?!" He shouted.
"Yes Nate, I am!".
"This is Joeys fault isn't it! This is why I didn't want you to go here alone, I knew something like this would happen! You still have feelings for him don't you!" He shouted.
"No I don't!".
"Youre going to regret this Ella Harris" he said quietly, he stormed out of my room.
I burst into tears. I didn't know what to think. I needed to talk to someone. I left my room and walked down to the lobby. Nate wasn't anywhere in sight. I  ran across the street and went upstairs in Joeys building. I knocked on the door, I desperately hoped he was home.
Soon the door opened and Joey was standing there.
"Oh Ella" He said.
"I'm sorry Joey but something just happened and I just hoped I could talk to you" I said nervously.
Joey looked back into his room and turned to me "Actually Ella right now isn't a great time.." he sad quietly.
I felt embarrassed, he obviously wasn't alone in there.
"Oh I'm so sorry" I said shyly "I guess I'll see you tomorrow then". I turned away.
"Ella just.. I'll talk to you tomorrow okay?" He said.
"Yeah sure" I said walking away.

I am so stupid.

The next day I woke up and barely managed to drag myself out of bed. I felt horrible after breaking up with Nate and embarrassed after what happened with Joey.

I threw on an outfit and left without eating breakfast. I felt like a Zombie.  Rehearsals are the last place I want to be.
I arrived at the theatre and went inside. Everything was as it usually is and with the first show on tonight everyone was at peak stress. This did not help things. I went into the costume room and put on my Ginny costume.
I could hear Nick shouting "Places for scene one!" I went to the side of the stage and waited for my scene to begin. Joey came beside me.
"Hey Ella" he whispered.
"Oh hi" I said quietly.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry about last night" he said. 
"Don't worry about it" I said quickly "I'm perfect now" I lied. The truth was I didn't want to talk to him anymore. 

Awhile later Joey pulled me to the side. "I know you say you're okay but I know you too well. I see right through it".
He was right, he knew me more than anyone else in the world.
"Youre right joey" I said "I broke up with nate" I said.
"Oh.. I'm so sorry. Are you okay?".
"I have been better..".
"Here Ella, it'll all be fine" he said putting his arms around me.
We hugged for a moment. "Oh crap" Joey suddenly whispered. He pushed away from me and I quickly turned around. Nate was standing there shocked with a huge bouquet of flowers. His expression turned from shock to anger as he began charging at Joey.
"No Nate!" I screamed as he punched Joey right in the face.
Everyone turned and started to gather.
"WHAT THE HELL!"  Joey screamed clutching his nose.
"YOU LOVE THIS DON'T YOU! ELLA AND I BREAK UP AND JUST JUST SWOOP IN AND TRY TO TAKE HER BACK!" Nate shouted at the top of his voice.
"What the hell are you on about!" Joey yelled. 
"DON'T PLAY STUPID" He screamed punching joey again.
Joey lifted his fist but Jaime began shouting at Joey "Joey don't you dare, you have a show tonight! Don't get into a fight now!".
Joey put down his fist.
"I know you want Ella, you've been jealous of us ever since California you just couldn't wait to get your hands on her again!".
"WHAT THE FU-!" Joey yelled.
Nate went to punch joey again but was quickly restrained by Darren and Joe.
"What is your problem" Darren said to Nate.
"I'm leaving" Nate said pushing Darren and Joe away. He stormed out of the studio. Everyone looked at me.
"I-I'm... I'm so sorry" I stuttered.  I turned away and quickly rushed out the door.
