Let it be

Part 4

     “Yes, and?” Will replied.

     “I don’t want you seeing that stupid girl!” His Father yelled,

     “Ellie is not stupid!” Will yelled back.

    “Oh, so she’s not stupid; yet you know who I was talking about?” His Father cocked an eyebrow,

    “A part from my loving Mother, Elle is the only important girl in my life; of course I know who you’re talking about when you call her stupid.” Will folded his arms.

     “Well, I am preventing you from seeing her! She’s nothing but bad to you!” His Father shouted,

     “You’re not stopping me from being with someone I love…are you?” Will said leaning upwards.

     “I’m sorry, William, but it’s for the best. Anyway, how can you be in love with a girl you’ve known for a week? You’re talking nonsense...”

      Will couldn’t stand his Father’s presence anymore; he pushed him away from him and ran down the stairs in anger. His Father followed him down.

     “Will, what are you doing?!” His Mother whined as he ran out of the door, closing it behind him. “What did you say to him?” She cried, “What did you say to him?!” She repeated pushing her husband away from her.

     But he didn’t reply, he just sat himself down on the sofa; running his fingers up and down his chin.

     “Phone the police,” He finally said in a serious tone.

     Will’s Mother rushed over to where the phone was placed, and dialled 999.

     In Will’s point of view, he was still running down the street as fast as he could. He was scared his Father had followed him, in case he knew where he would end up. Will finally arrived at the park, his clock read 4:02PM and by now and the park was filled with little children playing. Swinging back and forth on the swings; screaming on their way down the slide. Will had sat down on the cold park bench, and had placed his face in his palms.

     What am I going to do? Will thought to himself, I can’t stay here, can I?

     Finally after almost an hour of lying on the park bench, the thought came to him. He stood up like an old man, stiffly and slowly. He walked down the path, and crossed a few roads, before he was there. He knocked on, and waited.

     “Will?” Ellie said in disbelief, “Will!” She repeated.

     “I love you, Ellie.” Will spoke, standing at her front door. “I don’t know how, and I don’t know when I realised it – but I am, and that’s pretty much all I’m sure about right now.”

     “I love you too, Will.” Ellie replied, hugging him closely.

    A tear rolled down his face as he hugged her tight.

     She looked at him closely, “What’s wrong?”

     “I have nowhere to go,” He panicked.

     “Come in Will, you must be freezing out here.” Ellie said, pointing him into the house.

     He walked into the house, and Ellie closed the door behind him.

     Ellie led Will to her room where he sat on her bed with blood shot eyes, he had dark circles around them too; and bags had formed. Will was awfully tired and weak. Ellie stared at him; Will looked up at her and halved a smile.

     Ellie shook his arm, “What’s wrong?”

     “I can’t go home, I just can’t.” Will said,

     “Why?” Ellie asked as she raised an eyebrow.

     “I ran away, my Dad doesn’t want me to see you anymore.” Will frowned,

     “There are so many unanswered questions,” Ellie said, “but you look exhausted. I’ll ask my Mum if it is alright if you stay over tonight.”

     “Thank you,” Will smiled,

     Ellie smiled back as she stood up to walk out of the room. Her fingers were crossed and her hopes were high. Because who really lets a boy stay in a girls room when they have ran away from their parents? No one, exactly; so Ellie hoped for the best.

     Will laid back on the bed, his knees felt like giving in and his heart raced. Everything was crazy.

     How can I be so in love with someone I hardly know? Will asked himself, she’s so beautiful; so delicate. And now she’s doing all this for me? I’m thinking crazy right now. But one thing I know for sure, I’m in love with her; I’m in love with Ellie.

     “Mum,” Ellie shouted to her Mum as she sprinted down the stairs,

     “Yes, sweetie” Her Mum replied.

     “Can Will sleep over tonight?” Ellie asked,

     “The guy you like?” Her Mum cocked an eyebrow.

     “Yeah, he’s upstairs and he looks so exhausted. And he’s really upset too,” Ellie started,

     “Why is he upset?” Her Mum interrupted.

     “He’s run away from home, something about his Dad not wanting him to interact with me anymore.” Ellie explained,

     “We must take him home then, his parents must be worried. Don’t you understand, Ellie?” Her Mum said.

     “Yes, I understand. But please, Mum. Just for tonight? If you say yes he’s going to phone his Mum saying he’s at James’ house” Ellie lied,

     “Fine, but just for tonight; get the blow up bed from the bottom of your wardrobe and blow it up. I will bring some sheets and pillows up later. Will better phone his Mum though,”

     “He will, I promise!” Ellie said excitedly, “thank you so much, Mum!”

     “Like I said, only for tonight.”

     Ellie ran back up the stairs to Will, and told him the plan. After she finished explaining it, Will phoned his Mum about him staying at James’ for the night. His Mum agreed with the sleepover and called off the police search.

     “I’m dreading going back home tomorrow…” Will said helping Ellie blow up the blue soft material,

     “Don’t worry, Will. Just sleep on it.” Ellie replied with a smile.

     “Thank you for doing all this for me,” Will smiled,

     “Oh shut up, you.” Ellie laughed, and her words made Will laugh too.

     When the bed was blown up, Will lay on it and chatted to Ellie for hours. They had so much in common, they couldn’t believe it. The atmosphere was positive, and it was like a movie. Yes, the girl gets the guy 99% of the time. But what would the story be without an obvious part? This was only the beginning.
