Fake Love

Chapter 29:

Unedited

Ellie POV:
Was he still here? For me. I want to leave this place.

The next morning I woke up and he was gone as usual. I got ready and went downstairs and I saw Mr. Mills eating breakfast. "Mr. Mills can I have a talk with you?" I said looking at the ground. "Sure Ellie. What is it?" He said looking up from his newspaper. "I wanna move out." I said slowly. "Why?" He replied with a stern tone. "I'm a burden to everyone. I'm gonna move out and live in my old house." I said sadly. "No! I'm sorry you can't. Your dad has left you as my responsibility. And I will not let down his words." He said looking at me. "Okay." I said and walked out. I give up. I knew this was going to be the answer. Why even try.

Later....

I was walking home from work because my car needed some repair so it was at the car shop. And when I was walking pass a building I saw Issac and that girl holding hands in the grocery store, he looked so happy with her. They match so much. I wasn't paying attention and bumped into someone. I look up and it was a person with a camera. "Oh Ms. Ellie. Tell us why is Mr. Mills with another girl?? Is he cheating on you with her her? She's more pretty. What's her name?"  He started rambling. I didn't answer. I just covered my face and ran for my life. Good thing I had on my converse instead of my sandals.

I hate my life. I didn't want to live anymore. My hearts hurt so much. I ran ran at the back of a school that lead to a forest. I ended up at the end of a cliff. I couldn't stop crying.  I was so weak I had to sit down on the ground. I used to be the happy girl that everyone wanted to be. The perfect life with perfect parents. It's not like that anymore. My life was horrible. A heavy weight on everyone's lives. I'm the horrible person. I wanted to be with my parents. They were my happiness.

"Mom and dad. Why is it so hard losing you guys. Why couldn't it be me instead of you guys? My life is not the same without you guys. My life is horrible. No one loves me. I'm a burden to everyone. No one is worried if I have eaten yet. No one cares that I cry myself to sleep every night. No one cares." I said through my loud sobs. My heart hurts so much. I thought that Issac cared about me. But he's obviously have someone else in his mind. I didn't want to leave this place. It was getting dark. I didn't care. As long as I'm not home with those people. I stayed in the same spot and cried the whole night until I passed out.

Issac POV:
I wanted to take Lydia to visit my parents so I invited her over for dinner. "Lydia is coming over for dinner." I announced to everyone sitting in the living room. "Who is Lydia??" Tristan asked. "My new girlfriend." I said. "What?!?! What about Andrea?" Liam asked looking up from touching Allison's pregnant belly. "She broke up with me a month ago." I said running my hand through my hair. "Aren't you married??" Allison asked with a serious face. "Yeah- technically no." I said sitting down on the couch. "Don't you think about her feelings too?" Liam said. "Yeah." I lied.

When Lydia entered the house my mom fell in love with her. She said that she was even better than Andrea. Ellie hasn't been home yet. She's probably working in the diner late or something. Lydia knows that I'm "married" but she doesn't care. My mom let Lydia spend the night here since she had a lot of wine to drink.  I can tell my dad did not like her. He did not talk the whole time and had a serious face while eating. Ellie was still not home and it was midnight. I tried calling her but it went straight to voicemail. Maybe her phone died. I was waiting in the living room for her when my mom came down and told me to go to sleep because she probably is sleeping at some other men's house. I didn't know and I was very exhausted so I went to bed.

The next morning...

I woke up with the beauty in my arms. But I wanted to check and see if Ellie was home. She wasn't. Her bed has been untouched. Maybe she already went to work. It was already 9:30.

Ellie POV:
Of course. No one came looking for me I'm still in the same position as when I passed out from crying so much. I'm invisible to everyone. I got up and made my way back to the diner. Since it was the next day I need to go to work. When I entered the diner, I saw Issac and that girl again in the same booth sharing pancakes. I couldn't look I just walked straight into the back room and stayed there until they left. "Are you okay honey?" My aunt asked moving my hair away from my face. "I'm fine." I said softly and quietly. "You look very pale. Have you been not eating again?" She said feeling my head. "Go home we got this." She said. "Okay." I said grabbing my bag. I was walking out and they were gone. I walked out the door and was making my way home when everything was getting blurry and I couldn't see where I was walking. All I remembered was me collapsing to the ground.
