Dying Love

Dying Love 2.

After an hour of crying and talking to police, Èlise's fathers body was removed. Èlise walked into the kitchen and watched her stepmother wipe blood off her hands. "Why do you have blood all over your hands" Èlise whispered
"From moving the body darl" She said with tears in her eyes.
Èlise walked into her bedroom without saying another word, she just knew it she felt like her stepmother was to blame she never touched her father.
Before she started to cry again her stepbrother walked into her room. "Hey Hun how are you holding up" he said with swollen eyes.
Èlise knew he was crying who could blame him,  Her father and Jayke were extremely close nothing could tear them apart. Elise was close with Jayke too they are best friends and do everything together. "You think it's mama don't you" he added
Èlise looked up and nodded.
"I know you are annoyed at me for thinking that but I hate her so much" she whispered.
"I'm not annoyed at you trust me, I think she did it too" he said bowing his head.
My mothers wicked and I'm going to try everything I can to get her away from us. Èlise looked up and hugged him tightly the kind of hug you want to do forever so they won't leave you. Like the ones on your last day of school. Èlise could feel the anger building up in Jayke as she hugged him. They exchanged eye contact for a moment  before Jayke walked out slamming the door behind him.
Months went by of Jayke and his mother arguing about her leaving, until one day the door slammed and she never came back.
Another month went by after Èlise's stepmother left and her and Jayke were happier than ever.
One day the mailman arrived and Èlise was first to read the letters. She slowly pulled out one single letter, with the words Èlise Heather on the envelope and a paintbrush seal. Èlise slowly opened the envelope to reveal the remarkable news inside. "Congratulations on your recent becoming of age, 19 years old now which means you're old enough to be a student at Paris Senior arts college we have seen your videos on Instagram and viewed your artworks your father sent to us last year we look forward to seeing you soon" Èlise couldn't believe it her father applied her to one of the best art schools in Paris just up the road from her house and she got in. Èlise ran inside and told Jayke the big news, Jayke pulled out a bottle of wine and poured it into two glasses as a celebration. "I'm so proud of you lissy" he said cheerfully. Lissy was Jaykes pet name for Èlise and she didn't mind it one bit.
"Thankyou" Èlise said excitedly.
"Lissy" he said
"Yeah" she replied
"I've been thinking, about us...I don't want to call you my stepsister anymore I want something more" he said softly.
"What do you mean" She whispered
"What I'm trying to say is, I love you more than just my best friend" Jayke said anxiously
"And I want you to be my girlfriend" he added
Èlise was speechless she didn't know how to reply she's just so used to introducing him as her stepbrother.
"Jayke" she whispered
"I love you ever so dearly and I would absolutely love to be your girlfriend, but I just need some time to think about it" she added
"I understand" he whispered
Èlise kissed Jayke on the cheek and wished him goodnight before going to bed.
