On My Own A Diggy Simmons Love Story Book 3

Chapter 71: F.O.B

Elana: Wait, as a friend can you stay?

Diggy: Why?

Elana: What if I keep getting flashbacks of things?

Diggy: But I can’t be next to you. I have to get use to these “friend terms”

Elana: Please? Plus you’re already in pajamas.

Diggy: fine *goes into bathroom for some minutes and then comes out, gets in bed and turns off lamp* Goodnight.

Elana P.O.V.

I turned away from Diggy and closed my eyes.

~~Elana’s flashback

I felt so embarrassed to say but I told him everything. I needed to get it off my chest. He sat there speechless, unable to move. I just continued to eat my food. He looked like a mannequin. It was weird. Finally he managed to speak.

“I am so sorry about and your homeless, you’re too pretty to be homeless.” He said with a smile.

“Well its okay, thanks for the compliment. I’ve only been homeless for about 30 minutes. So I’m not used to it yet. I think of it as ditching school.” I said with a slight grin.

“I have space at my house. You are welcome to come, my mom is really understanding, so is my father.” He said generously.

“I umm…okay sure.” I said. What else did I have to lose? I’m already homeless so whatever.

~~End of flashback

I sat up and looked at the lightly sleeping Daniel. Tears slid through my eyes. Why do I do this to him? He doesn’t even deserve it. I got closer to him and wrapped myself into his arms. He woke up and gave me a puzzled look.

Elana: *cries a little and whispers* I’m sorry you have to see me this way or act this way. You always help me and I treat you this way. I’m sorry. *cries more into his shirt*

Daniel: I don’t care. A real boyfriend…well friend will be there no matter what you’re going through. I’m staying no matter what.

Elana: We can’t be friends though.

Daniel: Then what are we? *a little sad*

Elana: Boyfriend and girlfriend *kisses his cheek and wraps their bodies in the warm comforter*

Daniel: I love you

Elana: I love you more *slowly drifts back asleep*

~~The Next Morning

Diggy P.O.V

I woke up this morning and Elana wasn’t next to me. I got up and went downstairs. I walked in the kitchen and saw Elana cooking.

Diggy: Elana what are you doing?

Elana: Good morning. *smiles* are you ready to eat?

Diggy: Well…let me brush my teeth

Elana: Okay but it will taste weird.

I went back upstairs and brushed my teeth. I washed my face to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. She had a total attitude check. I came back down and she had already place the food on the counter. I sat at the counter and started to dig in. As she moved her hand away I noticed some black writing.

Diggy: What is that?

Elana: Nothing *puts hand behind back*

Diggy: Seriously what is it?

Elana: Nothing *moves away*

I got up and rushed over to the now running Elana. She flopped backwards on the couch and giggled. I sat next to her and waited for an answer.

Elana: If you eat all your food; you get to see.

I went to the counter and finished everything on my plate and even drunk my orange juice. I sat back down next to her and she placed her head on my shoulder. She opened the palm of her hand and it revealed the words “I love Diggy”. I grabbed her hand and held it. We sat in silence to take every moment in. Until, my phone started to ring and it alerted me that my mom was calling. I picked it up.

Justine: Diggy I thought you were coming home last night?

Diggy: I met an old friend

Elana: HIIIII!!!!

Diggy: *smiles at her*

Justine: Who is that?

Diggy: Someone you will meet when the time is right.

I talked to her a little more before hanging up.

Diggy: When are you coming home?

Elana: Soon but I need to find a place for my aunt.

Diggy: How about here?

Elana: She needs a job though.

Diggy: True.

Elana: The only way I’m coming home is if she is living good and has a job. I also need to make sure she is safe.

Diggy: How long will that take?

Elana: A few months

Diggy: Months? That’s going to take forever. I need you home now

Elana: Family over boyfriends *gets up and goes upstairs*

At this rate she is NEVER coming home.
