Adopted by Dan and Phil

~Struck like a Bomshell

"London?" Ella gasped.
Her head was now spinning, what was going on?
"Yes, but I mean we are going to London."
"We? As in both of us!" Ella squeaked.
Her anxiety turned into excitement she felt like bouncing through the roof. In all her sixteen years she had never been anywhere else apart from Spain-this was a whole new experience to her.
"Yes, but-"
"But?" Ella blurted, she then covered her mouth with her hand and let her mother continue.
"Pero hay una problema, there is a problem." She said looking down at the glass in her shaky hand.
Ella raised an eyebrow, her excitement was turning back into anxiety.
"We are going to London- but I will be staying in the hospital. You will be staying with some close friends who live there."
Ella's jaw dropped wide open. The news was like she had been struck by a bombshell, it was all so sudden. She sat at the side of the bed, her back facing towards her mother. There was a silence you could with a knife, so eerie and strange. Ella looked down at the floor in confusion.
"I hope you can understand Ella," her mother said, choking on her words.
Ella instantly whipped round to face her, she saw the hurt in her mothers once beautiful eyes. It made her stomach turn just looking at how poorly her mother seemed.
She forced a sad smile, "yes mama...as long as they make you better."

Their glances met, she chewed the inside of her cheek. Her gaze went to her mothers hand and she saw how she was struggling to hold the glass in her hands, the water splashed to and fro inside the glass, she quickly took it from her and placed it on the bedside table.
Ella sighed, "when do we leave?"
Her mother gulped and slowly replied, "this Saturday,"
Ella gasped with shock.
'Its Wednesday' she said in her head. 'We only have three days!'.
She practically jumped off the bed and paced forwards and backwards in the room, she took quick sharp breaths as she walked and could sense her mothers eyes watching her as she paced around.
"But mama. ¿Va a ser mejor para el sábado? Esto es una locura! Usted no será capaz de ir en el avión-" Ella ranted.
"Ella-"
"What are you gonna do?" She screamed
"Ella Calm down!"
Ella stopped at her tracks and stared at her, she looked fed up and angry. She took a deep breath and calmed herself.
"I'll be better by Saturday, don't you worry." Her mother smiled.
"Okay," Ella said.
She stepped towards her and softly kissed her on the forehead, she scurried through the door but before leaving she poked her head through the door.
"Oh, who are the people I will be staying with?"
"Ah, well I have a friend whose son is staying in London- don't you worry about it Ella." She smiled.

Ella nodded her head and quickly burst into her room. The walls were painted cream and she had painted musical notes in jet black just under the ceiling. The floor had wooden panelling which made a haunting creak every time someone set foot. When she was younger, Ella used to believe that the creaks would wake the ghosts at night- she didn't believe anymore. She flopped onto her large baby blue bed and opened her laptop. She opened Facebook and scrolled through her newsfeed- it was mostly of Dan and Phil as she had followed so many phan groups. Suddenly she heard a large knock from the main door.
"Coming!" She yelled.
Rushing downstairs to open the door. She was greeted by a man in his twenties wearing a white and blue uniform, next to him was a package with her name and address on it.
"Hola tengo una parcela para un Ella Parker," he said reading off his clipboard.
"Sí soy yo, gracias." She replied fluently.
He handed her the parcel and disappeared down the road. Ella squealed with excitement and hurried to the kitchen and grabbed a pair of scissors. Quickly, she opened the box to find a llama hat. She carefully took it out and examined it in her hands, she then put it on, a grin stretched on her face spreading from ear to ear. Ella jolted up and ran upstairs to her room. She picked up her phone and began to text her friend.
'Anna, u will never believe wat just happened!!<3'
