That one moment

chapter 16

Brax pov 

From the moment I met her I couldn't help but find her attractive, there's something different about Ellie, she's shy, quiet, kind and caring. We instantly hit it off and I really thought we would end up together that was until she told me she's in love with this Nick guy. how can she be in love with that guy, he doesn't even defend her or protect her. She's told me what it was like before he dumped her but the Nick I've come to know isn't him, well it all worked out for me I get to be close with her, I get to be the one she relies on the one she turns to in her time of need. I feel like I can be myself with her, I don't have to pretend or put up a front. We have so much in common too we both lost a sibling, our dads left us, we like the same sort of things. That was the first time I have ever opened up about my sister or the fact I nearly killed a guy but knowing she was there for me not judging and she understands the pain I feel, it made my feelings for her deepen, I thought we had a moment  in the park but nothing happened, if I wasn't worried about my friendship with her I would of kissed her. I wish she saw me more than a friend but I will take what I can get, If I carry on the way I am I know I can make her fall in love with me, when she took my face in her hands and we looked into each others eyes I felt it and I hope she felt something too. 

Me and Ellie have plans to spend the weekend together, she wants me to help take her mind off Nick. Last night she rung me in tears when she saw a photo of Nick kissing Alicia at his party. I get up and make myself ready I googled things to do in Cambridge, I decided to take her to a museum, I have a feeling she will like that, then punting down the river and lunch at this river side restaurant. Then tonight we can go to the movies which we never made yesterday. 

I leave my house making the 30 second trip to Ellie's house knocking on the door I see her mum answering it giving me a warm welcome "Morning miss Jones" I tell her. "Morning Brax, Ellie is still upstairs asleep, good luck waking her up I suggest a bucket of cold water" She laughs out making her way out the door. "Ohh could you tell Elle I wont be home tonight I'm staying at James tonight." She says with a huge smile on her face. "Well you enjoy yourself and I will look after Ellie" I tell her, She pulls me into a hug "Thank you for being there for her, I hope you don't do what the last guy did to her" She tells me giving me a stern look and I just nod to her. I wouldn't ever hurt her like he has. 

I head upstairs and go to her room and she is fast asleep, looking beautiful as always. I go lay next to her watching her sleep, she eventually opens her eyes and looks at me. "Well I have never woken up to a guy in my bed" she smiles at me and snuggles up next to me. "Thank you for talking all night on the phone with me, how are you not tired." I bring myself closer to her wrapping my arm around her "I will always be here for you day or night" She stretches and leans up taming her long black hair. "So what's the plan for today" I smile at her knowing what were going to do today. "Go shower and we will get this day started, oh by the way your mum is staying at James's tonight" She smiles "Looks like your stuck with me all night" She says making it sound like an obligation. I pretend like I'm disappointed making her laugh but deep down I couldn't be happier. 

Nick's pov 

After seeing the picture of Elle and Brax in the park getting close, there was a picture of her pulling his face to her although there wasn't a picture of them kissing I'm not stupid. I thought we could work through everything. After seeing that picture I went and got drunk I just had to forget what I just witnessed. I grab my phone hoping Elle might of texted me but she's obviously too busy with her new boyfriend to even think of me. I hate this guy, when I thought my life was s**t before he has defiantly made it 10 times worse. I just pray I can win Elle back. I see hundreds of selfies on i********: of Brax and Elle, I really want to delete it but it's the only way I can see Elle. I head down stairs to have dinner with my family and my sister is asking me 100 questions about the party, in all honesty I don't even remember the party. 

Alicia - I had a great time last night are you free tonight? 

I see Alicia's text message, I hate this b***h as much as I hate Brax she is the real reason me and Elle aren't together, she has truly screwed my life up. The last thing I want to do is spend time with her. 

Me - Alicia, I don't remember much last night but I'm sure I told you I will never be interested in you.

Alicia - You said that before you made out with me I assumed you changed your mind

Me - There is no way on this earth I would of kissed you. 

Alicia - Check i********: it's all over it. 

I do exactly that going on i********: to see me and Alicia kissing, how the f**k did I end up doing this, I delete it from my account and pray that Elle never see's it.

It's finally Friday which is great end of a long week, we had 2 tests this week and I had to hand in my Romeo and Juliet assignment. Tonight is the night of the Halloween dance where the whole school will attend I can't wait I have something big planned for tonight I dressed in a tux I'm going as prince charming I also left Elle a little gift, after getting myself ready I head down stairs greeting my family. "Looking pretty sharp" Kylie says to me. We talk for a while and I update them on Elle and Brax who seem to of gotton closer than ever. 

I walk into the school halls and the beat of the music goes threw me, I see Dave and Finn and go stand with them looking at everyone's costumes. "So what did you come as" Dave asks me "Prince charming who else" I say while looking down at my costume. "Oh yeah and where's your Cinderella" Finn pipes in "I'm hoping she will be here" I go get myself a drink while I wait, I hope she comes tonight. I tried talking to Elle a few time at school but she has completely blanked me it's like I don't exist to her anymore. All that will tonight as I plan on winning Elle back.
