It's My Fault

Chapter 11

Grace wasn't kidding when she had said she was going to be here in 5 minutes. I was laying in bed when I heard the doorbell go off. In the distance I could hear my dad talking to Grace, "Could I help you?" I forgot I never told my dad about Grace, and every time she would drop me off, he wasn't home. "Hello, and yes I am a friend of Ellie. I was hoping to see her." I could practically hear the smile on his face, "Yes she's here but she is sick." Grace quickly cut in, "I know I wanted to see her anyway though." I heard my dad step back and say, "She's in her room first door on the right." I didn't hear anything else but footsteps. My door slowly opened and revealed Grace with a wide smile and stuff in her hands. I smiled back and sat up so my back was against my head board, "What did you bring?" She smiled and walked in, "Some hot cheetos, oreos, chips, and some movies for us to watch." She sat on the edge of my bed, and I said, "You know you are probably going to get sick." She shrugged and laid everything out on the bed, "I don't care. I would rather see my closest friend, and if I get sick, then I get sick." We both smiled at each other, and Grace asked, "So what movie are we going to watch first?" I shrugged and said, "Put on whatever I don't mind."

Flashback
"Ellie let's watch the notebook." I shook my head quickly, watching her from my bed. "There is no way I am watching that Ro. Pick another movie." She huffed and pouted at me. I shook my head looking away from her. "Ro don't you pout at me I said no." Rose being stubborn walked over to my bed and sat in front of me, "Please Ellie." She held my face so I had to look at her while she continued to pout. "Please." I groaned and looked away mumbling, "Fine." She jumped off my bed running to my DVD player, "Yay!" I laughed at her and she started the movie. She ran back over to my bed and cuddled into me. I wrapped my arms around her and I laid my head on top of hers. This girl was going to be the death of me. I smiled to myself and whispered, "And I am okay with that." Rose looked up at me and smiled holding me tighter. I smiled back and held her just as tightly.

"Ellie, hello?" Grace was snapping her fingers in front of my face. I shook my head, "Yeah? Sorry." She smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I asked if Zombeland was okay." I nodded and she put the DVD in. I moved over in my bed to make room, and Grace walked over. I laid down while Grace stayed sitting up, and I moved so my head was on her lap and my arms were around her waist. She started to run her hands through my hair and I took a deep breath at the action. Grace skipped all the trailers and went straight to the movie. At some point during the movie Grace had moved to laying down and my head was on her chest with a leg over hers. The movie wasn't bad but from being sick I was sleepy. My eyes would droop now and then and Grace continuing to run her hand through my hair wasn't helping. As if Grace could sense it I heard her whisper, "Sleep Ellie you don't have to fight it." I sighed and let my eyes close quickly falling asleep. I woke up the next morning feeling much better. I saw I was still laying on top of Grace and she was asleep. My dad walked into the room with his uniform on, "Hey honey I have to go to work, are you going to be okay?" I lifted my head and ran a hand through my hair nodding. "It's up to you if you want to go to school today but I need to go." He walked over and kissed my forehead.

I glanced down at Grace then looked back up at my dad, "I think I am going to stay one more day I'll go back tomorrow. I'll make up Mondays and today's work at school tomorrow." He nodded and went to leave the room, "I'll see you later honey." He smiled and I laid my head back on Grace's chest smiling, "See you later dad." He closed the door again and Grace tightened her hold on me and I chuckled a bit. I moved so I was more comfortable and Grace let out a deep breath. I looked at my door once more before I closed my eyes again. A couple more hours I woke up first again and decided to change. I put on some basketball shorts and a white tank-top. I brushed out my hair and walked out to the bathroom. I did my business and brushed my teeth. I walked to the kitchen and thought about what to eat. "What do we even have?" I opened the cupboard and fridge to see what we had. I noticed we had some pancake mix and bacon I looked over at the time it was 12:13pm. Eh Breakfast at lunch is fine. I got everything out and started to make pancakes and bacon.

Flashback
"Ellie! I want brownies." Rose and I were sitting on the couch and she had been bugging me about brownies for the past hour. I groaned and said, "Then go make some Ro." She whined and moved over to me, "Let's make some together." I groaned and moved her head so I could see the T.V. she huffed and crossed her arms. I brushed it off and said, "You know where all the stuff is." I continued watching the show that was on the T.V. I heard movement next to me and I figured she had finally given up. I was quickly proven wrong when I was tackled to the couch. "Ellie! I want brownies!" She laid on top of me while my face was squished into the couch. I groaned loudly and said, "Ro get off of me!" I pushed myself up while she was on my back. Lucky for me Rose doesn't weigh a thing. She held onto me tightly so she wouldn't fall off my back. Laughing she yelled, "Ellie I am going to fall!" I laughed and sat up, "You jumped on me first!" She let go and I leaned back on the couch continuing to watch the show. Rose then straddled me so I couldn't see the T.V. at all. I sighed and looked up at the ceiling. Rose grabbed my face making me look at her, "Please Ellie." She pouted and I groaned knowing she won. I didn't say anything and picked her up by her thighs walking us to the kitchen. She cheered in my arms, "Yay brownies!"
