get out

elle's POV

------------

"get the fuck out of my house right now." i order. "can't a father come see his daughter on her 18th birthday?" he laughs. "not that it matters, but my birthday is tomorrow. and you are damn lucky that mum isn't here." i emphasize the word damn. "why should i feel lucky?" he scoffs. "she'd call the police the second you walked through that door. how the fuck did you find us?" i ask. "i have my ways. looks like you're doing a little cleaning. you having a party?" he questions, taking a look around. "um... yeah! yeah we are. which reminds me, i have to order a pizza. just one second." i say and hold up my index finger. i grab my phone and quickly text my mum.

on my way sweetie. 

have you called the police?

not yet. i'm about to.

okay. be safe. i'll see you soon.

i love you so, so, so much.

i love you too. please hurry.

i will.

without even thinking, i press onto another contact and send a message. 

billie 😞

i need you.

i'm already on my way mama. 

i couldn't miss my wife's 18th
birthday. just like you didn't miss
mine.

i'll be there soon. way to spoil the
surprise though

father is here.

i'll be there as soon as i can. 

be careful. i love you.

i love you too.

"the fuck is taking you so long?" father groans. "sorry. i got distracted. you know me, scatterbrain." i answer with a small laugh. i dial 911 quickly, without making it obvious  and they answer almost immediately. "911, what's your emergency?" the operator asks. "hello, i'd like to order about 10 pizzas. i heard this place was vegan" i lie, remembering a tik tok i saw about a woman who called 911 pretending to call a pizza place and they came and rescued her. "you know this is emergency services yes?" she asks. "yeah, my entire family is vegan and we are having a party today." i laugh a little. "what is your address?" she asks, playing along. "it's 392 park road. how soon can it be here?" i answer. "i have an officer about a mile away. is that alright?" she asks. "yes, 5 veggie and 5 plain." i reply. "would you like to stay on the line until the officer arrives?" she questions. "that's alright. i'll see your driver soon. thank you" i say cheerfully. i end the call and put my phone in my pocket.

"what's that scar from eleanor?" father points to a new scar from the night i cheated on billie. "oh that? our cat scratched me." i fib. "where's this cat?" he furrows his eyebrows and looks around. "she roams the neighborhood sometimes." i lie. "but you see," he pauses and pulls my sleeve up all the way. "that scar is much to deep to be from a god damn cat. cats don't leave scars eleanor." he glares and shouts a bit. "what the fuck are you even doing here?" what did you think my reaction would be? oh hi daddio! i've missed you so much since you almost beat my to death and sent me to the hospital!" i fake. "you little bitch!" he screams and grabs my wrist. he raises his fist and i hear someone run in. "LET GO OF HER NOW!" the voice screams. "or what?" father scoffs once again. "he'll fuck you up. swear to god." the voice warns. "oh really? you're saying he'll 'fuck me up' if i do this?" father asks with a small laugh and slaps me in the face. hard. i would've fallen to the ground if he didn't have such a tight grip. "stand up god damn it. i shouldn't have to hold you adult ass up." he orders. i do as he says and stand up straight. father punches me in the stomach and kicks me once i fall to the ground. "i don't see you doing SHIT" father laughs. "sully. get him." the visitor instructs. the familiar man walks over to father and grabs him, running him into the wall after removing his grip from my wrist. father "are you okay angel?" the girl rushes over to me. "i- i love you billie." i choke out before passing out. 

i blink my eyes open and see the inside of an ambulance. "FUCK NO!" i scream. "it's okay eleanor. you'll be out by the end of the day. i promise." the EMT calms me. "i swear to god if i am in the hospital on my GOD DAMN 18TH BIRTHDAY i will SUE!" i warn. "let's put her under again." the EMT suggests. "no! NO!" i resist but they do it anyway and my eyelids get heavy.

once again i wake up in a hospital bed for what seems like the millionth time. i turn to my side and see billie and my mom next to me. "i'm so happy you're awake." billie grabs onto my hand and kisses it. "me too." i smile weakly and take a deep breath. "wait a minute. i'm still 17 right?" i ask. "of course. you've only been out for a few hours. the doctors say you'll be free to go in about a half an hour." my mom laughs a little. "thank god" i say in relief. "what happened with father?" i question. "i'll catch you up later, i promise" billie smiles softly. "okay" i nod. 

i finally get to leave and we arrive back at my house. i lead billie up to my room and she sits on my bed as i get changed in my bathroom. i should talk to her about what's going on with her and i. it doesn't seem fun at all but it's what i need to do. 

"so right as you passed out, boom an officer bursts through the door. i have no idea who called the police b-" she explains but i cut her off. "i called him but continue." i gesture for billie to continue speaking. "okay anyway, he grabbed sully at first because he thought that sully was trying to hurt your dad and then we had to explain everything to him. long story short, they took your dad away in a police car" she finishes. "c-can you please not call him my dad. i refer to him as father or man. nothing else. never dad." i tell her. "oh. of course. i'm sorry." she apologizes. "it's okay. you didn't know." i shrug it off. "you excited to turn 18 tomorrow?" billie wiggles her eyebrows. "duh, i'm getting a tattoo!" i exclaim. "my parents gave me money to get one, they got me an appointment but i missed it." billie laughs. "maybe you could come with me and we could get them together" i suggest. "that sounds great." billie agrees. "hey um.. i think we need to talk about... us." i say, pausing several times. "i think we do too." she nods.
