The Love that Hasn't show: Time isn't a problem

16

I park in the driveway, after getting into the house, I lock myself in my closet.

"Ella?" Bridgette was knocking on my door, "Talk to me."

"Leave me alone." I said as my voice cracked, "Love sucks."

Eli

It's the next day, well, it's a Saturday so I don't have to work.

"You did what?" Eddy gave me an incredulous look, "Be glad I didn't bring Josh, if Daniel heard a wind about what you did, you're a dead man."

"I wasn't thinking okay? It was the heat of that moment." I said

"Bro, you like Bella, was it that hard to admit?" He give me a look,

"No, I just look at her like how I look at our little sister."

"Yeah and I just kissed a women, you know those two things are both lies." He

"I'm perfectly fine with just myself in my life." I said

"Bullshit, if Bella didn't clean it up last night, you would still live in a dumpster."

"Eddy." I give him a warning look.

"Well, I got kick out by your parents, so your look doesn't scared me." He shrugs, "Not everyone will leave or cheated on you, and I told you, I know Bella well enough that she's probably locking herself in her closet, and the long she stayed in there, the madder Bridgette will get. Then we'll need to planned your funeral, because if all the Hope gang up on you, I have no choice but to beat you up too."

"Aren't you my brother?"

"Hey I'm a Hope now, I'm supposed to be crazy like Ma."

I'm really happy that the Hope look at Eddy like their own, my brother is happy, I just hope he wouldn't turn into another Pony.

"You have an interesting mother in law." I told him

"Ma is insane, but you, my brother is a twit. If you like Bella, you shouldn't have doubts with her, have she done anything to you that made you have to doubt her?"

"No, but Bonnie also didn't did anything."

"You are not just a twit, also a tool." He sigh, "Did you remember around the time she cheated on you?"

"What do you mean?"

"You were always working overtime, either working or sleeping." He give me a look, "You put work in front of Mia and Bonnie, then that guy figured so he sweet talk Bonnie because he figured it's the chance that he can break you two up. Do you think Bonnie wanted to cheated on you back then? Do you think she said yes the first time he asked her? Elijah, I'm not saying she did nothing wrong, but you're also half responsible for your failed marriage, you can't blame all of these on her."

I can see he's not happy, I mean Eddy almost never, I mean never called me Elijah.

"Why didn't she told me?"

"She didn't want to admit that you're wrong." Eddy sigh, "She still think it's all her fault, that's one of the reason she left, she felt like she failed, and lost the right to raise Mia."

"Remember, Ma said to me once that every relationship that goes wrong is a lesson that's been taught to you so you know what to do when the right one comes. You learned from the mistakes you made with Bonnie, and if you really like Bella, you won't do the same thing again."

"I need time to think." I sigh.

Eddy

They are both idiots, after I left Eli's house, I give Pony a call.

"Hey Ma." I said.

"Hey, it's my favourite son that's gay."

"I'm your only son that's gay." I said, technically Josh is bisexual, still different from gay.

"You kids are no fun. How are your brother?"

"He's a yahoos, he kissed your last born last night though." I said,

"Did you knock some sense into him though?" She asked

"Yeah, it helps talking to Bonnie." I said, "How do you even know where she lives?"

"Apparently, Bell also asked Double K's to look for her, so I told the double K's to contact me when they found her, and don't tell Bella."

"Won't she found out we already talked to her?"

"So what? She's not going to yell at us."

"That's true though." I chuckle, "I'm going to visit her right now and if possible, trying to prevent Bridgette from sending my brother to the hospital."

"Good luck with that, I also got to go."

"Bye Ma."

"Bye."

Bella

Someone knock on my closet door.

"Bridgette Luna Young, this is the last time I'm saying this. LEAVE ME ALONE."

"Well, I'm not Bridgette and my last name isn't Young, so I'm coming in." Eddy walks in and sit beside me, "Eli's an idiot."

"Who told you?"

"My brother that's a tool."

I laugh at that.

"Well, he is one, and apparently, he thinks that people will cheated on him after they get it together, and he's afraid that people will leave. Without realizing that he's the one that made a mistake first."

"Well, all of us make mistakes." I sigh.

"I'm sorry, but I'm perfect." He said as he give me a cheeky smile, "We should have a brother and sister date. I'll take you shopping and we'll get you pretty so you can forget about what happened. Maybe I can put you into a dress."

"Why? Why does everyone feel necessary to put me in a dress?" I asked incredulously, "I feel perfectly fine with my tops and jeans."

"You looks like a boy."

"I used to push Jace into the mud, and I send at least 20 people to the hospital for my entire life." I give him a look, "Do I act like girls?"

"Yeah, but you still don't have the tool to be a guy." He chuckle, "Let's go bonding for us two."

I laugh, Eddy can always find a way to make us happy, that's why I'm so happy that he and Josh got together.
