‖Chapter 3‖

Ellys POV

I WOKE up to a bright light. I squinted my eyes closed when I felt the throbbing sensation spread through out my head.

Damn It!

I stood up and rushed to the bathroom. Thats when I noticed I was In Hailands house. I ran to the bathroom and puked everything up.

I must've got really drunk last night. After I got finished puking my Insides up I stood up and went back to the guest bedroom to lay down. For some reason, I feel good today. Like, I feel like I'm walking on clouds. I feel... Happy? How can I feel so happy when Asher left me? That doesn't even leave a big mark on me. Oh my gosh! I feel happy! I gotta text Laiken. I opened the door to my bedroom and flopped down on the bed.

Me; Hey baby! Wanna come stay the night at my house tonight?

I sent the message and smiled. Not even a minute later my phone dinged.

Laiken; Sure baby! I'll be right over.

I quickly texted Laiken back.

Me; Oh not yet. I'm at Hailands house with a hangover. Maybe you can come over here?

I sent the text and my phone dinged not too long afterwards.

Laiken; Okay, I'll be right over.

I smiled down at the text and stood up. I walked out of my bedroom and headed down stairs. The smell of grits smacked me In the face and that only made me smile even bigger.

I walked Into the kitchen and found Scott and Hailand kissing up against the wall.

Time to ruin the moment!

"Awe! Look at the cute couple!" I cooed with an overly large smile on my face.

Scott jumped back from Hailand and Hailands face went a little red.

"Good morning everyone!" I sang with a peppy smile.

Hailand looked at Scott with a smile, but Scott didn't look so happy.

I walked over to Scott and gave him a hug.

"Glad your back!" I chirped.

"Yeah, um everything okay?" Scott asked.

Hailand hit Scott on tje arm and gave him a glare, and tossed me a smile.

"No! It's okay. Yes everything Is fine! I'm doing swell. Laiken Is heading over and can I get some meds. I have a headache." I complained.

Hailand tossed me a smile while Scotts face got a little pale.

Whats up with him?

Hailands POV (Yes I know. It's about time. Try to calm your Inner fangirl. Kidding! Go crazy!!)

I walked over to the cabinet to get Elly some meds. Sometimes I think to myself, maybe It'd be a good thing for her to go out. Maybe It'll help with her depression. I mean, Asher left her. I'm sure I'd be more than upset If Scott left me. I guess her having a girls night out really helped, or she was finally getting over Asher.

I smiled at Laiken as he met my gaze. He was here to pick Elly up. Before I say this, I want you to know I'd never say this to Elly, but Asher Is a lot better than Laiken. I mean, Laiken gives off a weird vibe. It's not a bad vibe, but It's not a food one either. I just wish Asher never left. I mean, he loves Elly, or thats what I thought. He acted like It. I just can't get over Asher leaving. That breaks my heart.

Ellys POV

I climbed In Laikens chevy and buckled my seatbelt on.

"So, wanna go grab a bite first?" Laiken asked.

"Yeah, lets do It." I said.

I turned the music up and one of my favorite songs came on.

Too Beautiful by He Is We.

I smiled to myself and sang along. Laiken looked at me and kinda gave me a proud look. I smiled at him and spoke;

"What Is It, honey?" I asked.

"You." Laiken said.

"Me?" I asked with furrowed brows.

"You don't fail to surpise me everyday."

I smiled and leaned my head against the window.

Hailands POV (Yes again. You know you love her.)

"You might wanna sit down for this." Scott said.

I felt my stomach drop at this. Was he breaking up with me?

"Look Hailand, I need to tell you something, but promise me you will not tell Elly." Scott said.

My stomach simmered down and I nodded.

"Promise." I said.

"What the hell?!" I screamed.

"Three damn years and hes coming back?! Three damn years of not talking and now he decides hes just gonna pop up. Did you not see Elly this morning?" I yelled.

Scott just told me Asher was gonna come home and he went to see Asher the other day and It wasn't for work. I mean, I'm not mad at him for lying to me. Dissapointed? Of course. I mean, we are partners. You are suppose to be able to tell your partner everything. That's why they are your partner. I huffed In frustration and I wound up crying. I hate this about me. I'm one of those people who get so mad, they wind up crying. It sucks ass.

"Baby." Scott said coming up to me and embracing me.

"I- I just don't want Elly to brake all over again. When Is h- he coming back?" I asked, sobbing In Scotts arms.

"A few days from now." Scott said.

Ashers POV

I packed all my things up, which wasn't much. Scott and I made up yesterday and I decided to grow some and face Elly. I'm not expecting Elly to take me right away. I know I will have to earn her trust, step by step. It's gonna be hard, but I think I can do this. It's just gonna take some time.

I came across a little, red, box. I smiled at It, already knowing what It was. The end of senior year, so about two months away from the end of school, Elly wrote me a bunch of notes. Yes, I did keep them. Don't judge me. I packed the small, red, box up and smiled at myself for packing all my stuff up within a day.
