"Elle? What are you doing here, is everything alright?" Lee asks as soon as he walks into the kitchen.
"Lee." I say surprised.
"What Elle? Elle are you okay?" Lee says concerned.
"I'll leave you too alone." June says leaving the room.
"I-Lee-Lee I had-a-a mis-"
"Oh hey Elle." Rachel says clearly interrupting me.
"Hey Rachel." I say stopping myself from telling Lee.
"Elle what's wrong?" Lee says ignoring Rachel.
"Oh no something's wrong? Did you and Noah break up again?" Rachel says in a bitch tone.
"Rachel I would rather you leave so I can talk to my best friend alone." I say without hesitation.
"Um Elle, Lee is my boyfriend I'm aloud to hear what you need to say to him." Rachel says acting like I insulted her.
"Rachel please just go up to my room, I'll be there in like 5 minutes."
"But-"
"Rachel." Lee snaps.
"Fine." Rachel says stomping away like a four year old.

After we hear Rachel stomp up the stairs Lee turns to me.

"A-a miscarriage?"
"Ye-yeah." I say as I realize Lee clued in.
"Oh my god Elle." Lee says rushing over to me to hug me as I cry into his shoulder.
"I-I didn't even know I-I was pregnant." I say up in between tears.
"Elle you don't have to talk to me about it, just cry to me it's okay." Lee says hugging me tighter.

After crying in Lee's arms forever, Rachel comes down pouting. "Leeee, you said you'd be up in 5 minutes.":
"Rachel, just go home I'll come over later tonight or tomorrow." Lee says looking back at her.
"But you said we'd hang ou-"
"Rachel, I said we could hang out yes but right now Elle needs me. I have barley even hung out with her and she deserves me more right now." Lee snaps back.
"Whatever." Rachel says swinging her body around and making her way to the door.

That night I tell my dad I'm staying over at Lee's. We order pizza and watch our favourite Disney movies all night before I fall asleep still with small tears in my eyes.

...

"I love you, you can do this okay, your dad will understand." Lee says giving me one more hug before I go back home.
"Love you." I say hugging him once more.

When I arrive home I notice a unfamiliar but familiar car in the driveway. When I walk in I see Rachel and my dad sitting at the kitchen table talking.

"Um h-"
"Elle Jane Evans, so you think you can just stay at the Flynn's for two days then beg Rachel to come and tell me that you were pregnant and had a miscarriage." My dad semi yells.
"Wh-what? I did not beg Rachel to come here, I-I didn't even tell her I had a miscarriage." I say in tears.
"Elle I thought I could trust you with Noah, I thought I could just trust you in general with anything, but the way you acted these past two days is unbelievable." My dad says in a angry tone.
"I was going to tell you today, I was going to tell you everything but no, Rachel just has to come be a tattletale and tell you even though she wasn't even supposed to know!" I yell.
"Elle, it's either you break up with Noah or you get out of this house." My dad says serious.
"You-you're serious."
"Yes Elle, I am, chose, because getting pregnant this young is not aloud in my house."
"I'm not even tucking pregnant anymore." I say in tears.
"I'm choosing Noah." I say walking out to my car.

I slam my door shut and scream in tears.

That night when my dad takes Brad to soccer, I sneak in and pack a couple bags with everything I really care about. And some clothes. I load them into my car and drive to the Hollywood sign. I'm lying under the sign glaring at the stars still so blurry because of the tears in my eyes.

Sorry about the short chapter I didn't want to put all my details into one, but get ready for the next chapter it's going to be big!
