Eleanors destiny

Part 3

It's Friday morning.

Mum goes away today for this work event at a collage. She flew out early this morning. Dad is on night shift so he will leave at 2pm and won't get home till 9am. He will be sleeping right now. Yesterday was a big day for him. Eliot is coming at some point this weekend. He didn't really specify.

I get out of bed making sure not to get up to fast. But my head still spins. I grab onto my side table. After a minute I'm all good. I quickly make my bed and then head to the bathroom. I look disgusting. My skin is basically pure white. My bags look like Bruises and My hair is a mess. Great. I strip my clothes off and get into the shower.

It's freezing today. I grab a thermal. A hoodie and a coat. I then put leggings on underneath my sweatpants. Hopefully I'll be warm. I put my fluffy sucks on and grab all the things I need and head downstairs.

I open the fridge and grab a bottle of juice out. I haven't been to hungry lately. I walk to the back door and make sure it's locked. Outside it's just pure white. The ground is covered by snow. It's peaceful in a way. I walk back into the kitchen and sit down and check my results from the essay.
B+
It could be worse.

I turn the lights off and leave the house. I lock the door and go over to my car. It's covered in ice and snow. I grab the broom that we keep for the cars in winter and sweep the snow off the windows. Then put the broom back and jump into my car.

Me
Leaving now.

He doesn't answer. So I just assume he is busy with something. I pull out of the driveway and pull onto the road. I start the short ride to brads house.

I've been sitting here for five minutes and no Brad. I've texted and called. Now I need to go in and see what the hell he is doing. I get out of my car and walk up to the front door and walk in. "BRAD!" I know his parents aren't home so I can be as loud as I want. No response.

I run up the stairs. My lungs protest. They burn like hell and i get dizzy. I let my body calm down before walking over to his door.

I bang on his bedroom door. "BRADLEY". A second later a very sleepy brad opens his bedroom door. "What time is it?" "It's 7:55, school starts in 25 minutes." "SHIT," he shuts his door and I walk downstairs to wait.

Five minutes later he runs downstairs looking half asleep. "Okay lets go." I laugh at him and then we leave.

"You have ten minutes to be in class. I'd be running if you have wood shop." He jumps out of me car and starts speed walking into school. I laugh. Dork. I grab my stuff and head in.

Once I'm at my locker I feel someone's eyes on me, I turn around. Adam is leaning against some lockers just staring at me. My body gets covered in goosebumps. I turn around when his eyes meet mine. He gives me the creeps. I grab my stuff and shut my locker. And start walking to class. As I walk past Adam I speak up.
"It's not nice to stare."
I walk off before he can say anything back.

The day goes by pretty fast. It's now last period.

"Reid is coming home." "When?" "Today."
"That means Eliot will be home I'm assuming." "Yeah I wonder when, because knowing them it will be midnight."
"Eleanore and Bradley did you want to share with the class what you're discussing?" I feel my cheeks heat up. "Okay then please stay silent." I look over at brad and he is holding in a laugh. And that makes me laugh. We both start laughing.

Long story short we got sent out of class, that teacher hates everyone. It's last period anyways so we're just going to go home. "I can't believe he kicked us out." I look at brad. "It's your fault." He puts his hands up in defence. "Yeah but you where the one who started the laughing." I glare at brad and give him the bird. He just laughs.

"El come on, you walk so slow." Brads voice sounds like it's in the distance. The hallway starts spinning. I start to stumble. The next thing I know someone is holding me from behind and sits me down against a locker. Things start clearing up. Brads concerned face is in front of mine. "El! Hey el stay awake." My eyes start to open. Adam and brad are crouched in front of me.

"What the fuck was that?" Adam speaks up. "I'm fine. Just low iron." He scoffs. "That wasn't just low Iron." I roll my eyes, even with the little energy I have I can give attitude. Adam looks over at brad. "Get her home and make sure she gets some rest." He gets up and walks away. "Okay lets get you home." I nod my head and put my hands out for brad to help me.

"I'm driving." "Fine." I hand brad the keys and get into the passenger seat. "I'm telling your parents, or your brother if he is home." "It's fine. I'll tell them." "El." "Brad I'll tell them." "Promise?" He holds his pinky to me while still watching the road. "Pinky promise." I link my pinky with his.

"He is home." Eliot's truck is in the driveway. "Great." I groan. "I thought you missed him?" "I do but he has so much energy. It's like he is a child." "Just tell him you're tired, because you are and you need to rest." I don't respond to brad and jump out of my car, I feel fine now.

"Wait how are you going to get home?" "I'll just get your brother to." "But then he'll ask questions." "He won't."
We're currently standing at the front door.
I roll my eyes at brad and open the front door. It's freezing. "Is it just me or is it cold in here?" Brad asks me.
"It's not just you."

"Where the hell is he?" I whisper to myself. Brad and I walk upstairs. "He is probably in his room." I knock on his door and get no response. I open his door and find him fast asleep on his bed. I quietly shut his door. "Sleeping?" "Yep."

"Just let me take you home." "El." "I'm fine now seriously." He looks at me and I give him my puppy dog eyes. He throws his hands in the air. "Fine." I smile at him smugly.

"Bye, say hi to Reid for me." "I will. Text me when you're home please." "I will." I wave bye and start driving home.

I lock my car and rush up to the front door to escape the snow. I open the front door and it's heated up a little in here, thankfully. I hear noise in the kitchen. I practically run into the kitchen. My brother is standing there making a sandwich. "I'm home!" He turns around and walks up to me and hugs me. "I've missed you el." "I've missed you too." I let go and look up at him.

"You look different el." "I do?" "Yeah you look pale and you've lost weight." "I thought it would be something nice." I laugh at him. "How is first week back been?" "Fine, I've just been tired." "Same, but I'm glad we have the two weeks off." "Wait you're going to be home for two weeks?" "Yep." I smile.

"I'm going to go pee. I'll be back." I get up from the couch.

Black dots cloud my vision. Before I know it I'm out like a light.

"El open your eyes." "El" "come on el"

Blackness is all I see. The voices are blurred.

I fall back into my deep sleep.
