Our little sister // 1D and 5SOS

Chapter 22

-Elisa-

      The day has flew by and all we really did is just adjusting, fixing, and collaboration on what we need to do. Beatings and colorful words came my way throughout the day but I did not let that bring me down. A few bruises here and there but nothing I couldn't hide, which was very lucky for me.

      Anyways.... everyone is currently talking about the school dance and everyone got a person to go with except me.

      Elianna goes with a guy James, Mitch goes with a girl Kristen, Irvine goes with Heart, Derek goes with Harriet, and I go with no one. Sad life. Well, I'm used to it.

      As I was just walking down the halls (more like limping, with of course, my crutches) and people throwing colorful words at me, I bump into someone. I accidentally let my notebooks slip out of my hand (since I have a fractured wrist) and I bend down to get it (despite the fact that my ankle screams in pain). I thought this guy would bully me like the rest but instead, he helps me pick my stuff up. I was shocked at first but continue to get my stuff anyway.

      As soon as I'm done, he gives what he picked up and gave it to me. I mutter a small thank you and look up to meet beautiful and gorgeous blue eyes. I know him... he's Cole. A jock in this school, is famous, and very handsome if I may add. He has beautiful blue eyes, is very tall, messy, blond hair, a football (or as some of you know as soccer) player, and has a rich family. He is also very smart. I know him because, we're in the same classes.

      "Are you okay?" he asks and I nod.

      "Aren't you gonna bully me like the rest does?" I ask and realize what I just said.

      "What?... of course not" He replies and I let out a breath that I hadn't realize I was holding.

      "Anyways... do you have anyone to take you to the dance?" He asks and I was a bit taken aback of what he just asked.

      "Uhh... no" I admit.

      "Oh. Well, I'm not too" He admits and I was shocked. Him? Without a date? You have got to be kidding.

      "Really?" I ask.

      "Yeah, I don't" he replies and I nod.

      "If you don't mind me asking..." he says.

      "Yeah?"

      "Why did you think I would bully you?"

      "Oh.. well.. uhm... you see.. it's kinda hard to explain"

      "I promise I won't laugh and I promise I can keep a secret"

      "Oh.. in that case... because everyone does... but there's a guy who really does physically bully me and emotionally or mentally as well"

      "Oh... I'm sorry to ask but.. who?"

      "Brad" and with that name, his jaw clenches. Okay, is there something I'm missing?

      "Oh...." he trails off.

      "Do you wanna come to the dance with me?" he asks and I was taken aback at what he just said.

      "I mean, of course of you're free and if you would want to, and--" I cut him off by saying "I would love to"

      "That's great!" he exclaims.

      "Shall we exchange numbers?" I ask and he nods. I got my phone out and he got his out as well. After exchanging numbers, the bell rings signaling that everyone could go home. I head out of the school and I see that Mike is there.

      I walk over to him and call his name. He looks at me and smiles.

      "What are you doing here?" I ask and he helps me.

      "I wanted to tell you that I'm going to work for Uncle Max" he replies and I think my jaw just literally drops to the floor.

      "As a what?" I ask and let me tell you, Uncle Max is very rich. He is my dad's brother and he owns like how many hotels that are high quality or you know 5-star and owns how many companies and I hate to say, his main office is in Florida. Yes, he lives in Florida, but he has many branches all over the world.

      "As a manager" he replies.

      "That's great" I say, with a huge smile on my face.

      "But the thing is...." he says and I grow curious.

      "What?"

      "I'm..."

      "You what?"

      "I'm going to work with him in Florida" he says a little too quickly and I just stand there, frozen on my spot.

      "You're going away?" I ask and he nods with a frown on his face.

      "But I'll be there for only 3 months" he says.

      "I can finally get more money than I ever did, Elisa. This could help you and Arisa"

      "But that doesn't make me happy, Mike"

      "Just please... I love you and I have to do this to make you guys go to school"

      He looks at me with plea in his eyes and a give in. "Ugh... fine"

      He hugs and I hug him back. If he's happy, I'm happy.

      "Who'll take care of Arisa and I?" I ask and he says "Don't worry... I know who"

      And with that, I found my friends and they come over to me.

      "They're already here... are you gonna go with Mike?" Elianna asks and I shake my head.

      "He has to get Arisa" I say and Mike nods.

      "Then let's go" Elianna says and I giggle.

      "Yeah, yeah" I say and follow them. I'm being kinda slow since I'm still new with crutches. Anywho... I get inside the van by being helped by Niall and Mitch. They all greet us with "hi's" and hugs. 5 more months until my birthday and 5-6 more months until Jake comes home. I miss him terribly and now that Mike is going somewhere for three months is like me crashing into a car. Not that I want that of course. I wonder who he'll make Arisa and I stay with. After a few minutes of goofing around, we finally arrive at home. My ankle starts to hurt again becaise I accidentally hit it. Luke saw me in pain and offers me help and I decline.

      "C'mon on! You know you need it" he says and before I can protest, he picks me up bridal style and into the house. He places me on the couch. I glare at him and thank him anyway.

      "So, did anyone ask you to the dance?" Elianna asks and I nod.

      "Really? Who?" She asks.

      "Cole Anderson" I reply and she gasps.

      "Oh my gosh! The Cole Anderson?" She asks and I nod my head.

      "I kinda bumped into him and he asked me a few questions and I asked him some too and we ended up having each others' numbers" I explain and she squeels. All the guys turn to look at us and they have worried faces.

      "What's wrong?" Zayn asks.

      "Oh, nothing! It's just that Elisa was asked to the dance by the famous Cole Anderson" Elianna replies for me and I shot her glares.

      "Be careful with him okay?" Harry asks. Since when did they become overprotective?

      "Yup. Will do" I reply and he nods. "Good."

      And with that, my brother and Arisa comes in and my brother asks to talk to the lads alone. Hmmmm... what's going on?
