Just A Silhouette In Love

Chapter 5

***Still Tristian's P.O.V***

I was looking forward to having her in my arms but I could tell she was apprehensive about sleeping in the bed with me.I never took the time to appreciate how hurt she was after everything Vic put her through. I couldn't imagine the pain she was feeling due to the potential fathers of Dani's baby,if only she knew the truth. Yes it was true that Finn, Vic and myself were all potential fathers of the baby but Hunter wasn't. We couldn't possibly tell her the truth it would break her and I wasn't going to be the one to cause her even more pain.

She looked so beautiful and innocent laying on her bed with her eyelids slowly closing, her long eyelashes fluttered and I longed to trace every inch of her face with my finger. I sunk down on the soft mattress beside her. She rolled over onto her side to face which ever side I wasn't facing.

"I'm sorry Ella" I sincerely said

"Don't apologise I'm being stupid" she mumbled sleepily.

"I wish you didn't have to go through all this"

"But I do and I should grow up and get on with things"

"A fifteen year old grew up to fast when a twenty year old kissed her for the first time and becoming pregnant at the age of sixteen. You've had to behave so much older than what you actually are and if your family knew the truth they wouldn't of suspected  you to just get on with things.

You need time to grieve and I am going to make sure you've got that time. No one should stand in the way of that, I think you should go talk to someone. Before Vic who did you tell everything to?

"It used to be Hunter and Charlie"

"Do you ever think of going home for a while?" I gently asked

"Sometimes" she said finally turning around to face me. "I know it sounds silly but I'd give everything to just be back with my family just eating Sunday dinner with us all around the table smiling and laughing. How things used to be"

"It doesn't sound silly El, it's normal to wish those kind of things. I'd do anything just to hear someone tell me they loved me again" and it was true the last time someone told me they loved me since I was thirteen and it was my Grandma Ronnie. Ella unexpectedly wrapped her arms around my waist hugging me tightly.

"They will one day"

"You'll forgive yourself one day" I said as I wrapped my arms around her.

"When though? I hate myself for what happened, nothing can ever change that" she said before bursting into tears. I craddled her in my arms longing for her to see how much I loved her and how I would do anything to see her smile.

"You should hate Vic not yourself" I whispered into her hair.

"But I still slept with him all those times afterwards it makes me feel like a slut"

"You stayed loyal therefore you are not a slut. If I were Vic and I had you I wouldn't even dream of sleeping with another girl"

"You're just saying that because I'm crying in your arms" she laughed

"There's the beautiful smile" I said feeling myself smile at the sight

"Ughhh" she said slapping my chest

"Ellie, I have a crazy idea but it might work"

*** Ella's P.O.V***

"Yeah?" I asked as my heart beat began increasing rapidly

"We could pretend we're dating ages and that I hate Vic. Your parents might talk to you again you know?"

"Yes"
