the bad boy and a broken nerd

chapter 11: back to normal?

Ellie’s POV

After my talk with Alex i have felt better. I don't know why but he calmed me down. I still don't know why he talks to me, but i will find out soon.

So i am currently at my mom's funeral. It's pretty depressing. The ceremony just ended. I know you probably are thinking ‘why aren't you crying’ oh trust me i already did. There is just no more tears coming out anymore.

Anyways we are about to leave, but my aunt is somewhere with James and my uncle. Me and Ava are waiting in the car. It's a bit awkward but whatever.

“Hey Ellie?” Ava questions me. I look over to her and give her a look that tells her to go on.

“Well if you need anything or anyone to talk to i am here” Ava tells me. Do i want to talk to her? I mean it wouldn't hurt, she could help.

“Okay thank you Ava” she nods and gives me a smile.

“I can try to get you mind off things” Ava tells/asks me.

“I guess. Won't hurt” i tell her

“Yay! So are there.. You know, any boys you like?” she asks me. Haha. Really? Uh i guess maybe Alex. eh.

“Well there is this one guy. I don't know. I think he likes me, but its weird. One day he just came up to me, and claimed he likes me. But once again it's weird.” i tell her.

“Well. i sure did get your mind off of things” she chuckles lightly. “Well anyways… why don't you believe him?” she asks me.

“I don't know its weird. I have known him for years, and one day he comes up to me and says that he likes me. Like why not earlier?”

“I don't know. Maybe he grew some balls and told you” she tells me.

“Yeah i guess.”

“So do you like him?” Ava asks

“No, no i dont.” i looked up at her and she looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

“You sure about that?” she asks me. As if.

“I mean he can be nice, but he can also be cocky, full of himself and just wants to use girls to get in bed” i tell her. I am pretty sure she knows what i am talking about. I mean i did at 13.

“Okay, Other than that… what about the nice parts?” she asks me.

“Okay remember the other day at the hospital when i got a bit angry and asked for a guys name?” i ask her

“Yep, more like commanded” we both chuckled.

“Well after i yelled for his name… i kinda stormed off to his room and started yelling at him then i was about to punch him. Then all of the sudden someone pulled me back, and can you guess who that was?” i ask her.

She looked like she was thinking for a moment then her eyes widened. “The one guy, who i yet know his name to?” she asks me.

“Haha. Yes, and his name is Alex” she nods and waits for me to continue.

“So Alex came and pulled me back then he talked some sense into me. After that i cried a bit. And he comforted me. And well, before i left i kissed his cheek and came back into dad’s room” i told her. Her eyes widened.

“So that's why you were in a good… well better mood once you came back. We were all confused. Oh and you SOOOOOO LIKE HIM” Ava told me. I can feel my cheeks heating up.

“Like who?” someone questions. I whip my head to the right to see my uncle.

“Oh… Ellie has a crush” Ava tells her dad. Wow thanks Ava.

“Really? Who” my uncle asks

“No one” i told him

Ava giggled, and her dad chuckled.

“Fine, don't tell me” my uncle tells me.

“Okay” i tell him happily.

He gets in the passenger seat, while auntie E and James make there way into the car.

I feel someone staring at me so i turn around and see Ava looking at me.

“Uh Ava you good?” i ask her

“Yeah, yeah i just realized something” she tells me.

“And that is?” i ask her

“That we are now B.C.F’s” she tells me. What the hell is a B.C.F?

“Uh what?”

“Best Cousin Friends… duh” she tells me like it's the most obvious thing ever.

“Oh great” i tell her sarcastically. Ava doesn't seem to notice it and gives me a big smile.

I hear some low chuckles and i turn my head to see James trying not to burst out laughing. I give him a smile, and he smiles back at me.

I think we are starting to get back to normal. Maybe.
