Ella's P.O.V

*2 Weeks Later*

             I've been talking to Ava lately but she's pretty much the only person I've been talking to. Niall has been trying to talk to me and so has Jay but I just ignore them because I don't want them getting hurt. Knowing my dad he would probably shoot Jay again or do something worse to kill him. I bet he would do way worse to Niall.

But Niall is so hard to ignore and I don't know why. It hurts to ignore him and not say a word to him. He's been singing to himself in P.E lately and everything he sings I know. I find it really weird that we like the same music but whatever. 

He's asked me to sing along with him but I just ignored him. The other day he lost his temper and that scared the hey out of me. I found out that he could play guitar from this girl in my history class because she was talking about him showing him a video of him singing and playing the guitar. She said it was good and I know that he has a good voice. But I've never heard him play guitar.

Ava has been telling me that Jay has been putting himself through hell because I ignore him and say not even a single word to him. She always asks why but I always say 'it's complicated' or change the subject. She also tells me about Niall asking her about me and him just staring at me all the time. But I just answer with an 'oh' or quickly change the subject.

She always say how much she's worried about me or how I seem depressed. But I always tell her I'm fine or for her not to worry about me.

"Goodbye, Mrs. Parker." Ava yelled before opening the front door. "Please, call me Lauren." My mom said suddenly appearing behind me. "Good morning, Lauren. Who are you?" Ava asked with a smile. "Just fine and yourself?" Asked my mother."Great, thanks for asking." Ava replied.

"I'm sorry to interrupt this wonderful conversation but we have to be at the school in twenty minutes. And we have a fifteen minute drive." I interrupted a bit worried about being late to class. "Okay, I guess you two should get going. It was nice to see you again, Ava." My mom said before she hugged Ava. 

"It was nice to see you, as well." Ava said before pulling away from the hug. Then my mom hugged my tightly. "Mom, you know I'm the hugging type." I said trying to get out of her grip but failing. So, I just her hug back. "I'll see you after school, mom." I said before pulling away from or hug.

Ava and I walked out of my house and to her car. Once we got inside and put on our seat belts Ava turned on the engine. Then pulled out of my drive way and we were off to school.

*15 Minutes Later*

I rushed into the school with only two or less minutes to get ready for class because Ava decided to stop at Starbucks. Not that I don't like Starbucks because I really do, I just didn't want to be rushing like I am now.

"El, I need to talk to you." Jay said appearing beside me. "What did I do wrong?" He asked but I just kept walking. "Come on, El. Speak to me." He added pleadingly. "I'm sorry, Jay but you and I are going to be late for class if we continue this little conversation." I said a bit harshly before I made my way to my locker.

I got my books for my few few classes and put them in my bag while holding my caramel frappucino. The bell rang and I quickly made my way to my math class which a bit far from where I am now.
