The one I needed ~ Thomas Brodie Sangster

Ella's POV

Flashbacks of Ella's life

In school I was never the popular one I was always left behind and it didn't help me any better when I started showing up with bruises on both arms, legs & head.

And cause of our school
You must wear your uniform so I wasn't able to hide it except if I wanted a detention. Which made my dad even more angry. Afterwards I learned how to do makeup pretty good to cover those bruises up.

If you haven't already guessed it my dad isn't the best. The first 8 years of my life I thought it was normal at home for the dad to hit or kick the child to show who was in charge, but then realized I was completely wrong....like for real...

My mom left us when I was 11 and I don't blame her for it. My dad was making her life a living hell and she deserved to be happy.

I still have some contact with her since I'm her daughter, but I haven't seen her in person since that time she left.

End of flashbacks

I was woken up my a loud noice coming from my room.

Oh no he can't already be home was my first thought, but eventually I figured out that it was my phone.

My Onkel Jimmy was calling me

"Hello?" I answered the phone call

"Ella darling? How are you feeling" Jimmy said on the other end

"I'm...I'm fine?" I said

"Look about what you told me last week I have a opportunity for you" He said

"And what did I say last week?" I questioned

"The abuse in the house remember?" He said and I went silent.

"I...I can't speak over the phone about this" I said

"No wait it's important" Jimmy said

"I'm listening?" I said

"I talked with a few of my coworkers and we all agreed that you would make a perfect role for our team!" He said

"Our team?"

"As a Make-up artist"

"But for who?"

"A new movie you have probably heard about the book...maze runner?" he said

Oh crap...
That is my all time favorite book and now I get to be doing the actors makeup? This is a life changing opportunity!

"YES! Wait...yes I will please this is perfect" I said trying to control myself

"Perfect! I knew you would like it...Next week in Baton Rouge, Louisiana I will text you the exact address, but be there!" He said

"Perfect!" I said

"Alright I will see you alright? And take care!"

"I will...Oh and thank you...so much" I said

SKIP TIME A WEEK

I have been secretly packing up all my stuff and today was the day I was going to tell him...I was leaving the house and I didn't give a shit about his opinion.

I walked down the stairs with my suitcase backed
As I got to the end of the stairs I saw the tv running and the beer in his hand. The smell of cigarettes filled the whole house.

He turned around facing me

"And where did you think that you are going?" My dad said

"I'm leaving..." I said

He let out a little laugh "oh no I don't think so"

"Well you don't get to decide" I said as I went to get on my shoes I actually believed for a second that he was just going to let me go, but why would he change in last minute?

Jimmy's POV

I waited for Ella at the airport
Her fly was kinda late and I was super tired

Then the passengers from her flight came out from the gate

And I saw her with tears in her eyes and black eye and a ripped blouse...

"Oh gosh..." I said as I ran over to her and wrapped my arms around her

"Gosh what did he do to you sweet Ella?" I said as I wiped her tears away

"I guess he was saying goodbye" she said rolling her last tears down her cheek.

"I'm sorry I didn't do anything when you told me, but I came as I shook and I didn't know how to react"

"It's okay..." she smiled while wiping her own tears away

"I'm miles I'm kilometers away from him and I'm never going back!"  She said with confidence.

"Well let's get you all set up!"
