Good Girl Chapter Eight:

    I woke up the next morning and went downstairs. Lily's school stuff was on the table, but mom and dad were gone. I fixed some breakfast and went back upstairs. I was still so mad and confused. What did I do to them? I was just born.. That's all I've fucking done.

 At about 3:30 I heard Lily leave. I looked out the window and saw her drive away. I got up and went into my bathroom. I saw a bottle of pills on the counter... I picked it up and looked at it then looked in the mirror. My hair was a mess, my makeup was running, and my eyes were puffy. They wouldn't care if I was gone... I thought opening the bottle. Nobody would care....

"NOBODY!" I screamed as took two pills.... then two more.... and two more.... I have had it with my parents hating me, people walking all over me... two more pills... everything started spinning and I fell... I held onto the counter and took another pill.. I grabbed my phone and dialed Michael's number.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Michael.." I mumbled. "Michael listen to me... I want- I want to thank you... for being there for me... when-" I gagged. "When nobody else was.." I started to cry.

"Ellie.. What's wrong? Where are you?" Michael said concerned.

"Goodbye Michael. I'll miss you."

"Ellie.. You're scaring me. I'm coming to get you." He said.

"Michael.." I said dropping my phone. I heard Michael on the other end shouting my name then I heard a car start and Michael saying

"Ellie. Stay where you are I'll be right there."

     I used what little strength I had to pull myself up and stumble to my bed. My head was throbbing and the room was spinning. I heard a noise at the front door and footsteps.

Just then my bedroom door opened... All I could see was a bright green ball of fuzz running towards me.

"ELLIE! ELLIE?!?" it yelled at me. "Ellie! Ellie stay with me okay.." it said holding me in its arms.

"No.. leave me... please..." I whimpered.

 It picked me up and carried me down the stairs.... Everything went black...

 I woke up in a bright white room.. My head was throbbing as I looked around. Out in the hall I saw Ashton, Luke, and Calum. Ashton looked up and saw me. All three of them ran into the room.

"Ellie!" Luke exclaimed as all three of them hugged me.

"Where... Where am I?" I mumbled.

"You're in the hospital.." Ashton said taking my hand.

"W-why?" I asked trying to sit up.

"You... tried.. to commit suicide Ellie..." Calum shuttered.

"I-I did..?" I said feeling the tears stream down my face and hit my hospital gown. They nodded. Just then Michael camed into the room. He was holding a giant teddy bear and smile appeared on his face as we made eye contact.

"Lets go boys." Ashton said. Calum looked like he wanted to stay, but Luke grabbed him and pulled him into the hall.

"Hi Michael." I smiled looking at his bright green hair.. Then I realized... Michael saved me...

"Oh my god.. You saved me..." I said as he came closer. He put the teddy bear down and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Why?" he asked.

"What?" I replied.

"Why would you do that to yourself?" he asked in a shaky voice. Is he crying? I thought to myself.

"I'm just tired of it.. My parents don't care about me, everybody walks all over me.. It isn't fair Michael... It isn't fair... My sister lied to my parents about what happened the other day. She said that I said those things Michael... My parents believed her... I just can't keep acting like everything is fine anymore..." I sobbed.

"Don't ever do that to yourself... Ever again okay?" Michael said as his eyes filled with tears.

"Michael what's wrong?" I asked.

"You're all I have.. You're the only person who I can open up to... My dad's a jackass and my bitch of a mother left when I was five... I can't open up to the guys they'll just laugh at me... I feel like I can be myself around you... I was just starting to open up to you..." Michael cried.

"But... You were always so mean to me..." I said.

"No... I'm just like that... Thats my cover... But I really am an okay guy once you get to know me..." he said running his hand through my hair. "And... When I saw you... In your room with those pills I-" Michael stared sobbing. "I thought I had lost the only person that I really care about. I know I haven't known you for that long, but I trust you... I love you... I don't want to lose you.." he said hugging me.

"Michael.. You're the first person that actually gives a shit about me..." I said as he held me in his arms.

"How.. How did you get into my house? The door was locked.." I giggled through the tears.

"I kind of.. kicked the door in.." He laughed kissing my forehead. I smiled and hugged him. I looked up into his big beautiful eyes and my heart skipped a beat.

"Michael.." I said taking his hand.

"Yes?" He asked.

"I love you too..." I said. He smiled and leaned towards me. He was just about to kiss me when the door opened.

"Mr. Clifford I'm going to have to ask you to step out for a moment while we check on Ellie here alright?" The doctor said.

Michael nodded "I'll be right out there Ellie.. Alright?" Michael said kissing my cheek.

"Okay.. See you in a little while." I said as he left the room.

After a lot of questions and a lot of tests, I was finally allowed to go home... actually to Calum's house.

"I'm gonna go pick up dinner. Ellie do you want anything?" Calum asked.

"No thanks I'm good." I replied. I still didn't feel good what so ever. The thought of food made me want to puke. I sat on the couch and Michael sat next to me. I laid down and rested my head on his lap. I looked up at him and he smiled. "I've never noticed how pretty your eyes are." Michael said. I blushed. God I really loved Michael. What he said in the hospital... wow... I would've never expected those words to come out of his mouth. I sat up to allow Michael to lay down under me. I was so groggy that I fell asleep in his arms.

     I woke up to the sound of Luke and Ashton laughing. I opened my eyes to see them standing above me with a Sharpie.

"Oh my god!" I exclaimed running to a mirror. I looked at my face and saw that it looked exactly the same as it did when I feel asleep. Then I turned around and saw poor Michael with a mustache and something inappropriate that I'd rather not share drawn on his forehead. I couldn't help but laugh. He woke up and gave us all a weird look.

"What's so funny?" He asked.

"Um... nothing.." Ashton laughed. Michael stood up and walked into the bathroom.

"He'll notice in 3...2...1" Luke counted down.

"ASHTON! LUKE!" Michael yelled from the bathroom. We all laughed as Michael stormed down the stairs. I looked at my phone and noticed I had 100 texts/calls from Kat. "Are you okay??" "Why were you in the hospital??" "Reply please!! I'm scared!!"

"Hey Michael. Would you mind taking me to my friend Kat's house? She's freaking out." I said.

"Looking like this?" He asked pointing to his unwanted temporary tattoos.

"Pleeeease." I begged giving him the puppy dog face.

"Fine!" He rolled his eyes and grabbed his keys. Then we were on our way to Kat's..
