Story of My Life

Chapter 8

ELLIE'S P.O.V

What the heck just happened, or was about to happen.. I thought to myself while running back to the living room. My heart was racing and my palms were sweating. Of course I knew what was happening but I didn't want to admit it.

"Give me back my fucking phone Daniel I was just on twitter." I hear Luke yell as I reach the bottom of the stairs.

"So I guess I didn't miss anything special?" I laugh walking into the living room and sitting down next to Beau.

----------------------------------------------

"I just went to check on Jai and he's passed out," James says walking down the stairs. "Did you guys have too much fun or what?"

"We just talked! I swear to god James" I said with a laugh. I've been here two hours and the only time I talked to him was up in his room when I first got here.

"Yeah she has Charlie as her fuck buddy.. Remember?" Luke says and the boys laugh at his snide remark.

"Thanks but I'm not a whore. Charlie's not my 'fuck buddy'. I don't find this funny at all." I say getting mad.

"You know we didn't mean it Ellie." Beau says to me. "What time does Cindy get off work?"

"At 5:00. So in...." I start, looking down at my phone. "In 10 minutes. I better get home before she does."

Beau offered to drive me but I told him I needed the exercise. I said my goodbyes to the boys, except to Jai because he still hadn't came down stairs, and started to walk to my new home.

I was starting to love Austrailia, I really was. It was so much better than back home with my parents. All they did was keep me isolated in the house, and the only attention they gave me was when they wanted something to be done. Or they needed to release their stress.

When I turned my street, Cindy's car was already in the drive way. Shit. When I got home late if my parents let me out, they would flip. They would hit and punch me because I broke their rules. I knew Cindy would never hit me but I was still scared.

As I walked in the house Cindy was sitting down on couch in the living room.

"Hey sweety. How was your day?" She says happily.

"F-fine.." I reply nervously. "Sorry I'm home late the guys distracted me. I'm so sorry."

"Honey it's fine!" She said with a laugh. "As long as you're having fun it's fine with me!"

I laughed with relief and went over to the living room.

"So I start at the restaurant tomorrow," I yell to the kitchen while collapsing onto the couch. "I'm kinda nervous but so excited!"

"You'll do great Hun. I'm sure of it.." Cindy reassured me while walking into the living room and sitting beside me, grabbing my hand. "I'm proud of you. Very proud."

She didn't say exactly what and why she was proud of me for but I didn't care. It was the first time someone had actually said something so nice, and meant it.

"I love you Cindy, but I'm not feeling the best. Is it okay if I go up to bed..?" It was only 5:20 pm but I needed some emotional and physical rest before I go through a stressful day tomorrow.

She nodded silently and watched me as I walked up the stairs and into my bedroom.
