The bad boy

Moving on?

ELLAS POV:

I spent the weekend in bed. Having your heart broken does something to you. Being home alone doesn’t bother me anymore! I hated Liam for what happened but more importantly I hated the fact that his explanation made sense in my mind. It really shouldn’t. Kissing someone isn’t right no matter the motive behind it. To be honest I had a hard time forgetting the image in my head. Tomorrow is Monday and I will be able to submerge myself into school. I just have to figure out how I am going to handle training at the hideout as I know Liam for sure is going to be there. I promised not to take it out on the gang, and I don’t want to. They are my friend to. I just know that I need space and I don’t trust myself near Liam. Drake offered to drive me to and from school which I gladly accepted so I didn’t have to take the bus. I spend the rest of my Sunday in bed ignoring all the texts for Liam. Yes he still texts me asking me if I slept well etc.

My alarm clock rings signalling me that it is Monday. Well at least I will be able to think about something else for a few hours. I get ready and actually do a good job on my make up. I felt like I needed to put in some work to make me feel a little better. I soon hear Drake hunk outside and I hurry to collect all my things.

Drake - ‘wow you look stunning today!’

Ella - ‘Well thank you Drake’

Today is going to be an okay day I think to myself. The first few classes goes by quickly and before I know it it is lunchtime. I eat with Kate, Jonas and Drake as we have actually formed a little group together now. Kate and Drake for sure are going to get together any minute. They flirt with each other all the time! I am so happy for her.

Ella - ‘I should get going I still have to pick up my books for the next few classes’

Jonas - ‘I will go with you. I also need a few books’

Jonas and I head to our lockers which are close to each other.

Jonas - ‘Ella I hope you are okay! Kate told me what happened and I am sorry that you couldn’t trust him. I know I said what I said about him, but at the end of the day I really just want you to be happy!’

Ella -‘ I will be okay. I just need some time to clear my head you know.’

Jonas - ‘It would be to early for me to ask you on a date again wouldn’t it?’

Ella - ‘Jonas I am flattered but at the moment I don’t know what I want. My heart still belongs to Liam. I am sorry!’

Jonas - ‘Don’t ever be. I understand and just know I am here for you just as a friend as well - always will be!’

Ella -‘I know’

I spend both Monday and Tuesday focuses on school, and Emma trained me at home luckily. She is kinda just as mad at Liam as I am so she suggested that we would do it that way all week if I needed it. She understood that i needed space to sort out my feelings and head. But by Wednesday Emma was sick and Drake said that he would train me. The only downside to that was that it meant I had to go to the hideout. After school on Wednesday Drake drive me to the hideout but he came up with a little plan.

Drake - ‘So I hate what Liam did to you and I know he is hurting? But should we show him even more what it feels like to be walked over? Like show him how well you are doing?’

Ella - ‘What do you mean?’

Drake -‘Well he hates when I train you because I am a guy and I get close to you right? So I am up for some close combat fighting if you get what I am saying?’

I nod as I know what Drake is thinking. Liam does really hate when other guys shows affection towards me especially Drake and Jonas as they are close guy friends.

LIAMS POV:

Ella basically spent Monday and Tuesday completely ignoring and hiding from me. She had Emma train her at home, and had Drake drop her of at school and home.. I hated it. I was supposed to do those things! I know I am still hunting for the rat but I am closer than ever. Just two people left in my investigation everyone else cleared up. Which I why I try to spend every minute at the hideout if there is even a possibility that Ella would be there. I know she will be today as Emma is sick and Drake has to train her, but he has some business to take care of here at the hideout today. I just have to show her that Lexi doesn’t mean anything to me and never did. I know I am still stuck with Lexi while looking for the rat, but i will make sure to create distance between her and I as much as I can. I barely talk to her after what happened.

Ella walk in after Drake and I see them smiling and laughing. She seems so happy as if nothing have happened.. I hate it I am supposed to be the one making her laugh, not others! I go to say hi to them but soon Lexi calls for me.

Liam -‘ what Lexi?’

Lexi -‘I have a lead on the rat situation Liam’ she touches me seductively when she spot Ella standing in front of me. I push her hand away and say ‘that can wait I am speaking to Ella and Drake, so go away!’

I notice Ella smiling, and I look her deep in the eyes. My first step is to show her that Lexi really doesn’t mean anything to me!

Drake tells Ella to go get ready in the ring while he goes and gets water. I just stand there starring at Ella for a moment. I just missed seeing her, so I am very happy.

ELLAS POV:

Drake shows me a couple of moves and then whispers to me. Time to make him regret hurting you! Drake comes close and we end up on the floor. Him straddling me and his face very close to mine. We here a cough and Drake gets off of me. We both look to our side and see Liam standing there looking pissed as ever. Drake goes to say loudly ‘Guess someone now knows how it feels to be hurt!’ Liam looks at me and I see sadness in his eyes. I make eye contact with him and I give him a small smile to tell him that we are going in the right direction. Drakes phone rings and he excuses himself and asks if it is okay that Liam drives me home. I give a small nod as I can’t not spend time with him. I saw him trying his best today to prove to me that Lexi doesn’t matter to him.

On the way to my house I get a text from Jonas saying ‘they know’. I look confused at my phone and before I get to answer he texts ‘They now Liams identity and that you have been hanging out with them!’. F***. What do I do now? As We come to my street I see both my dads car, Jonas car and his dads car parked at my house. Liam drives past my house as he doesn’t want my dad to see me getting out of his car.

Liam -‘What is going on back there?’

Ella - ‘Loom they know okay, apparently they know about you, about the gang and about me hanging out with you, so now I have to face my dad. I just have to go!’

Liam - ‘You think you will be okay?’

Ella - ‘I will text Drake if I need anything okay? I still need space’

Liam just nods at me and I exit the car.

When I open the front door I see my dad, Jonas and his dad all sitting in the living room..
