Say you love me

Chapter 31

Harvey

"Hello again Harvey nice to see you" Edward.. Ellie's dad welcomed me into his home. He picked us up from the airport and against all of Ellie's demands he came back here so we can drop off our things and get changed.

"Dad please I just want to go and spend as much time with nana as I can.." she almost begged. He just nodded and we were back in the car, I met Ellie's nana when we last came. She was so full of life, happy and singing away with Ellie. We soon arrived, Edward and I got out the car but Ellie just stayed sat staring at the home.

"Come on babe lets go" I spoke softly offering my hand, leaving a hand on her belly she took my hand and climbs out, the walk inside was rough. Ellie didn't let go of my hand. Everyone was saying hello to Ellie and congratulating us on the pregnancy but Ellie just wanted to get to her nana.

"Eleanore I need you to be prepared ok, she doesn't look the same as she did last time.." Edward looks defeated.. he knows as well as I do how much this is going to effect Ellie.
"Dad I know, I used to do this job remember.. I can handle it." Ellie spoke not sounding to confident.

Edward walked into the room first, Ellie followed, I heard the gasp and managed to catch her before her knees buckled. Her sobs filled the room.

"Eleanore? Is that you?" Valerie, Ellie's nan asked
"Yes nana I'm here" she sobbed as she walked to the bed, she sat down and held her hand.
"I'm so sorry my darling, my body is failing me. I can't hold on much longer" I noticed Edward shed a tear.
"It's ok nana you can go, we are here and we love you, I'm not leaving you" Ellie said determined.

After a few hours Edward left, Ellie and I have decided to stay. She didn't really give anyone the choice and I refuse o leave her when she needs me most.
"Eleanore, in the bottom of the wardrobe, there's a box, inside the box are a few letters I've written, but your not to read them until I've gone ok?" Valerie spoke. She was getting weaker. Ellie agreed,

Not much more was said. Ellie was laid on the bed, Valerie cuddled into her, with her hand laid resting on Ellie's stomach.
