A few days later....

Diggy P.O.V

I just got off my flight from Pennsylvania. I got into my car and started to drive home. I remember me being isolated in the hotel just wearing my pajamas and sleeping the days away. I barely ate anything. I was kind of hungry now but I'm never up to eating anything. I decided to stop at the park. I got out the car and sat on a bench. It looked gloomy outside and it was a little windy. I realized after all these days and weeks I never actually checked out the house she stayed in. Maybe I can get something to remember her by. I called my mom.

Justine: Daniel where are you?

Diggy: the Park that's down the street.

Justine: Come home.

Diggy: I need to go somewhere.

Justine: Where is that?

Diggy: The house Elana stayed in.

Justine: No Daniel that house is secret...

Diggy: You guys always hide secrets from me. I deserve to know mom.

Justine: *sighs* Okay Diggy...*tells address*

Diggy: Thank you. *hangs up*

I walked slowly back to my car and drove towards the address. On the way I passed the school and the park. Elana wasn't too far apparently. I pulled into the neighborhood of lofts and modern homes.

Woman P.O.V

It was only 3:00pm. Little one cleaned and cleaned. I smoked a cigarette as she did it. She left the house spotless and nothing was out of place. I'm not use to seeing a clean house so I just stood there taking it all in.

Little one: You can sit.

Woman: I don't want to dirty it.

Little one: it's fine

Woman: Okay

I sat on the couch and watch her wipe down the coffee table. Little One's hair was different from when she was little. 

Diggy P.O.V

I pulled up to the house and looked at it. It was a pretty loft house. I opened the car door and got out. I was nervous. Who knows what I was going to see. I went to the front door and tried to open it. It was locked. But my mom said it would be open. I pushed the doorbell hoping someone would open the door. I waited before ringing the doorbell again. This time someone came to the door and when it opened to see there face. I just stood there. This person pulled me gently in and lead me upstairs to their room. They closed the door behind them and stood there. Their hand touched my shoulder before touching my hair. 

Daniel: But you...

Person: I know

Daniel: Elana I missed you

Elana: I missed you more.

Daniel: *grabs her hand* 

Elana: No...

Daniel: What?

Elana: *starts to tear up* we can't be together

Daniel: *tearing up too* why?

Elana: It's not a good time...I not ready and you can't see me this way.

Daniel: I don't care!

Elana: Don't yell at me! *crying* I don't care if your mad at me just don't yell *sits on the other side of bed*

Daniel: I didn't mean to. *sits next to her* It's just that you being gone was hard on me. I followed this list of instructions that was going to help me know the truth or something but it was useless. All I saw was a girl and woman getting on a bus. I was so sad and upset that I didn't find out anything. I just mostly slept and barely ate anything. I'm still kind of tired though. But now that I found you I want to be with you. 

Elana: Give me your car keys.

Daniel: Did you hear anything I said to you? 

Elana: Give me your car keys.

Daniel: Okay gives them to her.

Elana: wait here.

Daniel: Alright.

She came back a few minutes later. 

Elana: Car is in the garage. *throws pajamas* put these on.

I did as she told and went into her bathroom to change. When I came out, she had one side of the bed comforter open. I looked at her in confusion.

Daniel: Why am I doing this? 

Elana: get in the bed. *watches as Daniel does so and tucks him in*

Daniel: Wait we need to talk though

Elana: There is nothing I want to explain to you at this moment. 

Daniel: *gets angry a little* nothing to explain?! You have a lot to explain!

Elana looked at me with eyes I never saw before. It was like she changed.

Elana: Listen! You holler at me again and I will suffocate you while you're asleep! 

I stayed quiet as our eyes met and the tear fell from hers. 

Elana: I didn't mean it...*stands up and go towards bathroom* just...Go to bed

I did what she wanted. But now I wonder if she is just mentally ill or bi-polar or neither.
