Ellie's POV

   I ran and went back into my alley, leaving Alice with Mike. I'm truly scared. I've never thought that my life would be like this.

   I remember who always helped me through these situations. Gabs, or Gabriella, whatever. I want to get back to my friends, but I bet that they hate my more than anything now.

   I want to go back to them, have a normal life again, live like I used too, have a nice house-burned by the ginger-, just chat with my friends about our major crushes for singers or other people-again, destroyed by Ed appearing-, be a normal person and not living in the streets and not being scared of life-AGAIN, destroyed by Ed-.

   I don't know, I just, I don't know. I feel 'things' for him and we kissed on front of people that probably got it on video and uploaded it  on the Internet, and I dunno,  I really like him.

He promised you slut, wouldn't he have come if he cared about you?

   I heard a voice in my head say. I was officially becoming a sycho. Why did I even run away? I don't know, maybe I felt like I couldn't handle everything?

   I can't, I can't handle Ed liking me, that would be a disaster but he loves me.

   That's even more of a disaster. I love him too though, so what can I do? It's like I've already quit my life and then wanna be born again, but I know it's not possible 'cause things don't change, things don't go the way you want to, things go how they want to.

   But I'm thinking that I'm a thing, so how can't I do what I want?

The next day I went to Mike's house. I knocked the door and I was welcomed by a-I don't how to describe his feelings-Mike.

   "Hello."I said and he smiled. "Ummm, hello?" He asked me and I was curious about why he didn't want me there.

   "What's up?"I asked him and he looked really nervous.

   "Ummm, I gave Alice up for adoption?"He told me sounding like he asked me. I was shocked.

   "You did what!?!"I screamed at him and he looked sorry.

   "I'm so sorry, she made me, she said that she wants a family with brothers and sisters and mother and father and you are neither of all these."He said and I remained with my jaw drop down.

   "Umm, okay, if that's what she wants. I just, I felt... sympathy for her. I just wanted to help her so she wouldn't end up like me."I said and he instantly hugged me, rubbing circles in my back. "It's okay."He whispered.

"I'm here for you."
