Mi Salvador

Mi Reina

Ascella's POV
I was finally back home. I was still wary about going out, even if I was with people. Also, I've been distant from Olly and he's done the same with me...
Does he know about Charlie and I kissing? Oh god...
I tried to shake off the feeling and kept making breakfast. Zara was waiting patiently at the table. I heard the door open and i turned from the stove. Amanda, Liv, Munch, and Dad walked in.
"Hi!"
"Hey, Sug! We just wanted to check in on you!" Amanda smiled.
"I'm doing alright, you guys hungry?"
"Yeah, its our lunch break anyway." Dad responded, kissing Zara's head. I gave them some plates and they set themselves up.

Once I had finished, everyone was eating quietly. Then there was a knock at the door. I answered it and saw a friend from school.
"Hey, Addy."
"Hey, Ascella! Just wanted to check in on you...you haven't been returning anyone's calls and we just wanted to know if you're okay..."
"Yeah...I've been better."
"I know a lot is on your mind, but you should come dance with us again, get stuff off your chest."
"I'll think about it..." I muttered. She nodded and waved to Dad, "Hi, Mr. Amaro!"
"Hello, Addison!" He responded. She smiled and waved by to me, going back to the car that was right outside. I watched it drive away and hadn't noticed that Olly was right behind them.
"Olly..."
"Hey, can I come in?"
I nodded and let him in. He said hello to everyone before going back to me, "Can we talk?"
I led him upstairs quietly. We entered my bedroom and I sat on my bed. He sighed, closing the door.

"I know I haven't been around recently...I...I just wanted to give you space."
"Thanks." I murmured.
"What do you want?"
"What do you want?" I looked at him, "It's not just me in this relationship, you're here too...I know something big has happened to me, but I need you more than ever now...if you want break-..."
"Woah! I don't wanna break up with you, Ella! Do...do you wanna break up with me?"
"No, no I don't."
He nodded and reached for my hand. I let him grab it and smiled, then I grabbed a box from on top of my vanity. I then set it between us and opened it. It had old pictures with my mom in them.
"Is that your mom?"
"Yeah...Isabella Santiago..." I whispered, admiring her.
"I see where you get your eyes..." he murmured, kissing my head. I nodded, leaning my head on his shoulder.

Summer was nearly over, Olly and I were trying to spend as much time as we could before going back to school. I sat with him in his car as we were driving upstate.
"Are we going back to the cabin?"
He smiled, "Yeah."
I nodded and listened to the radio. Once we got there, Olly blindfolded me.
"What are you doing?" I giggled. He chuckled softly and started to lead me though the house.
"Oh god you do have a sex dungeon..." I muttered.
"No I don't." He laughed. I could hear a door creak open and we stepped in.
"I'm gonna take off the blindfold..."
"Please..." I whispered, desperate to know what he was showing me. My eyes were freed from its barrier and I was speechless. It was a huge room with big windows. I looked to my left to see a king sized bed with dark purple sheets. I walked forward to see a door to a bathroom. Then I looked to my right where the big windows were and I saw a piano...
"Olly...is this your room?"
"It's yours...ours...I wanted take you here during the summer more, but then the case happened and I was helping with this..." he wrapped his arms around me, kissing my head. I grinned, "It's perfect..."
"You have a good view of the mountain and woods...it's beautiful when it's snowing too. There's a button right there to bring down the shades if you get creeped out at night." He chuckled, telling me more about the room.
"Who's piano?"
"It was my mother's, but I remember you telling me you knew how to play...I miss it when she used to play...it's been long since I've heard music play around here..." Olly day on the bench.
"You don't know how?"
"Only a little, buts it's no good...play for me?"
I nodded, "It's been a while..." I placed my fingers and played "Nocturne No. 12" by Frederic Chopin. He then placed a small velvet box on the piano, in front of me. I stopped playing and opened it.
