The Runaway Sister {COMPLETE}

Chapter 17

Amari's POV

After that talk I had with James, something changed inside of me. I just realized how much I actually hurt my brothers. I ran away to protect them, the only thing I was thinking about was myself and how to protect my brothers, a small part in my mind knew that they would hurt, I just didn't acknowledge it. 

After awhile of comforting my brother, he went back downstairs to more than likely go out. I chose to stay in my room in order to calm down a little bit more. I see my phone vibrate and I go over to see who it was. I checked to see that it was Ella. I feel a smile form on my face and I check the text.

Ella Reynolds: Hey! I'm free today and I was wondering if you want to go out for a coffee?

I smile and respond to her.

Me: Sure! What time do you want to meet up?

I put my phone down so I could choose an outfit to wear. I decided with a black crop top with ripped jeans. Classy Mari, very classy. (If the season is winter... oops? She'll wear a coat?). When I was done getting dressed, I check my phone to see that Ella did respond to me.

Ella Reynolds: If you're free now, we can go now?

I feel the smile forming on my face again. Do I- do I like her? What will my brothers think? I think... I think I do like her. I mean, you can't blame me! She's like a goddess! I don't care, I like her. Like like her. 

Me: See you there :)

I got my purse and was about to walk out the door, when some voices stopped me. "And where do you think you're going dressed like that?" I turned around to see my brothers standing there very intimidating. But their act doesn't scare me.

"I'm going out." I said curtly and opened the door to leave. I made it about five steps before two figures blocked my way. I inwardly groaned, this shit sucks. I hate being interrogated by my brothers. I just stood there, looking very annoyed. Derek towered above me, along with Ollie. Then someone turned me around and I was faced with Aaron. I groaned out loud this time, so my brothers can hear my frustration. 

"Who are you going out with?" Aaron asked. I rolled my eyes, can I ever get freedom? "Ella, you know, my childhood best friend?" They seem to like that answer and let me go. I got in my car and drove off. (So I have no idea if the brothers bought her a car, so I'm saying they did and I have no idea how many days passed... bare with me). 

I drove to the cafe where I knew Ella would be... considering there's only one around our neighborhood. I park the car and walk inside, I see Ella at a table with coffee and she was on her phone, and she had glasses on. God she's so cute. Wait no- oh I don't give a shit anymore. Just admit you like her already, it's pathetic. 

After a minute of just standing there admiring Ella's beauty, I decided to go and sit with her. I sat in front of her and she looked up and smiled at me. God I could look at the smile all day, I love that beautiful smile, it makes me so happy.

We started talking for awhile and the next thing I know, it's dark and we've been talking for hours. When we started to leave, Ella kissed me on the cheek and said goodbye. I put my hand on the spot where she kissed me. I felt a blush rise up and I watched her pull out of the parking lot, and she waved to me before she drove away. I got in my car and drove back to my house, I parked and went inside, ignoring my brothers when they greeted me. I walked up to my room and I flew on my bed and screamed into my pillow. I'm in love with my childhood best friend.

FINALLY! I had majorrr writers block and I now decided to do this chapter in one day, yay. Also, we have a week until christmas!! I'm very excited for this. Off topic, if you have a problem with Amari being gay, yes I made her gay, feel free to not read this book at all. Good day :)

Also, the only time I can update my stories is on my laptop, my phone and ipad are being dumb and won't even let me SEE my stories. So just a fyi.
