The bad boy

Make up

It was finally weekend. I know I only went to school today (Friday), as the situation with my dad happened Wednesday. I just felt like I really needed weekend. I barely slept. If I wasn’t relaying then event that happened between my dad and I, then I was having nightmares. I didn’t tell anyone because I didn’t want to be even more trouble as I already was. I was staying with Liam and either he or Drake were going to drive me to school while I was here. They made food for me, as I simply just couldn’t. The gang even came to Liams house to hang out and get my mind off of the events that happened. To say I didn’t feel like I was i pain in the butt would be a lie. I hated that I relied on others. I should take care of my self. I just couldn’t. After school Drake drove me home to Liams house as he anyway was going to stay. He lives here most of the time too. Drake went to join Liam in the living room. I just wasn’t in the mood for being social and I really needed sleep, as I haven’t really had any the last two days. I got to the guest bedroom or what Liam calls my bedroom and I changed into some comfy clothes. I then laid down on bed and tried to drift to sleep. Don’t get me wrong I would get sleep, but my mind either showed me the event with my dad or how my mother died. Yes I saw her murder.. I haven’t told anyone. Not even my dad. I just told him I was hiding in the closet of my old room but I wasn’t. Sleep took over and sure enough my mothers murder began to play..

FLASHBACK to Ella being 6 years old:

Mom put me to bed and sang for me, as dad was on shift. She sat there singing ‘you Arendt sunshine. My only sunshine. You make me happy..’ It was like this often. Me and mom were so close. We did everything together. She shut my light of and kissed me good night. I had a hard time falling asleep and all of the sudden I heard something downstairs. Maybe dad was home. I jumped out of bed and when down stairs. I wanted to hug dad good night too. When I got there I saw someone holding a knife to my mother. They asked her where the safe was but she didn’t answer. As I hid behind the wall i hid something and it made a notice. The man looked at my mother and said ‘I thought you said you where home alone? Who else is here’ my mother replied that no one was home besides her but that man got so angry. He slid the knife across my mothers throat and left. Not even looking for any valuables. I ran to her not knowing what to do. After all I was 6 years old. I saw my mother laying there lifeless. I cried mom please wake up. Mom why are you not answering? I got up and called my dad. Saying mom wasn’t moving and she had a lot of blood around her. Not within long police and ambulance where here. Jonas’ dad was the first on Scene and he took me outside and comforted me. A very confused 6 year old’. I was taken to the station go give my account of what happened, but all I could do was see her laying there. The mental image of my mothers lifeless body forever printed in my mind. They asked questions but soon stopped as I didn’t speak.

End of flash back .

I woke up screaming and dripping with sweat. Liam came rushing through the door.

Liam - ‘Ella shh it’s okay. You are safe. It was just a dream’

I shook my head and whispered ‘I wish it was!’ Liam looked confused at me but sat down and hugged me.

Liam - ‘Anything you want to share. It might help you to get it off of you chest?’

I looked at him. Was I really going to tell him my biggest secret? I know I love him and he has really done so much for me that past few days. I nodded and told him ‘I saw my mothers murder!’ After that I explain everything to him, even that I lied to my dad about where I was and that I saw the murders face clear as day. I still remember everything about him. Liam hugged my tight and kissed the top of my head. I felt so safe in his arms. Maybe I should forgive and forget what happened between him and Lexi. After all he did it to get more time with me and to get free of Lexi. It was her doing all of it.

Ella -‘ my dad hates me..’

Liam - ‘No he doesn’t. He hates the fact that I am with you, but not you!’

Ella - ‘He told me that my mother would be so disappointed in me.. Liam she means everything to me’

Liam - ‘I didn’t know your mother, but I wish I could’ve met her. I am sure she would be so proud of the women you have become!’

I was soo tired that I was beginning to fall asleep in Liams arms and I guess I completely dowsed off. All of the sudden I woke up feeling Liam move out of bed. I felt empty and cold. I started to shake again as of my mind wanted me to have nightmares again..

Ella -‘Where are you going?’

Liam -‘It is late and I should just let you get some more rest. I think I am heading to bed too’

I don’t know what came over me when I said ‘Please stay and hold me while we sleep. I only feel safe in you arms.’ I could see Liam smiling when I said that, and he quickly came back to bed. All night we cuddled and I finally got a great night sleep. No nightmares, no replaying the event with dad. Just pease and quiet. I woke up feeling super refreshed.

I could still feel Liams arm around me, and I turned to look at him. He looked so peaceful when sleeping. And to be honest hot! I could just kiss those lips of his.

I got up and went to the bathroom. I felt like having a shower. Something I hadn’t done in three days. Today might turn out to be a good day. As I exited the bathroom after my shower I saw Liam sitting in the bed. I looked at him and smiled.

Liam - Good morning. Hope you slept well.

Ella - ‘I slept amazing. The first sleep I have had in the last days actually. Thank you for staying with me!’

Liam - ‘I should go and let you get ready for the day’

Liam turned about to walk out, but I had to clear up a few thing with him, so I said ‘Liam can we talk? Like talk talk?’

Liam nodded and went to sit in the bed once again.

Liam - ‘I am so sorry for what I did. I just hope my actions the last couple of days have shown you that I take you. Well us really seriously. I think, No I know I am falling in love with you Ella.’

Ella - ‘Last night was the best sleep I have had, I felt safe in you arms. To be honest I feel safe around you Liam. My dad might not understand this, but i told him the truth when I said I was in love with you.’ I look into his eyes and continue ‘I get why you did it, so the forgiving part was easy. I am just still trying to forget..’

Liam looks at me and puts his forehead to mine and says ‘I will do everything in my power to show you why you mean to me. To make sure you never forever what you mean to me!’ He then kisses me and whispers ‘I get that we can’t just continue from where we left off, but I want us to make a new start if that is okay with you?’

I nod. I am in love with him and I know my feeling won’t just go away. He has really proven himself the last few days. It means a lot to me.

Liam -‘if we start from scratch then I want to do this proper! Ella will you go on a date with me tonight?’

I look at him and smile. I slowly nod my head - today is going to be a good day.
