Waiting for you

Chapter one

{Ella's p.o.v}

I placed my phone next to my nightstand as it Bluetoothed music to my stereo. I was listening to my favorite band, Queen. I'm kinda old school, but as well as new school, if that makes since. I sang along and danced as I started to get the usual feeling of someone watching me.
I've always had this feeling but within the past year I started to speak out loud to it. As if someone is actually there. I nicknamed the spirt thing The Spectator, but instead I just call it S. I turn down my music and sat on my bed facing my window. Sometimes if I look hard enough I can see a shadow.
"Hey, S. Today was better. Toby and his group only said mean things today, they didn't actually physically hurt me. So it was a good day. Why do I have a feeling that you made them stop? I mean, after they left Toby said I should really keep my mouth shut and stop telling my guard dog stuff. Does that mean you actually there?" I waited for a few minutes to see if anything happened.
Nothing did.
"S, if I keep talking to you I'll probably go crazy. My dad said that he keeps hearing me talk to my self and he's worried. So umm... S? I think tonight will be my last night of me talking to you." I finish off by sighing. I lay down on my bed and close my eyes. Turning off my lamp in the process.
I wiggle myself under my warm quilt and curl myself into a ball like I do every night. As soon as I start drifting off to sleep, I hear something or someone speak.
"I'll show myself to you one day, my love"

^^^^*^^^^

I woke up to my mom shaking me awake. "Ellis Marie Jackson, if you do not wake up this instance you will not get the English bagel with cream cheese I made for you!" And with that I shot up smiling widely at my mom. I jump out of my bed and run to my attached bathroom stripping from my night clothes and slip into my warm shower.
As I wash my hair with my lemon shampoo and conditioner I think about last night. Was that just my imagination? I rinsed out my hair and washed my body with my raspberry soap.
After I finished rinsing it all out I stepped out and wrapped my self in my fluffy red towel. I start to blow dry my hair and then i loosely curl it. I apply my normal amount of makeup and walk out to my closet. I pick out my black skinny jeans and my white Starbucks sweater. I pull on my socks and slip into my grey Uggs. I pull on my white beanie and take a final look at myself.
I smile and skip down stairs and grab the delicious bagel. Taking bites out of it I grab a Starbucks iced s'more coffee and walk out the door, shouting a quick bye to my parents. I walk to school everyday listening to music from my phone, while drinking my coffee and eating my light breakfast.
I wasn't watching where I was going and pumping to a large figure. I stumble trying to catch myself from falling. Once i steadied myself I looked up and got lost in a pair of grey eyes. "I'm sorry" I mumbled out, "I wasn't watching where I was going". I blush out of embarrassment, I could practically feel his eyes wondering over my small frame.
"It's okay love, just be careful. Can I walk you somewhere?" He says nicely. My eyes widen at the nickname, but I shrug it off. "I'm sorry but I'm trying to get to school. I'm probably late as it is" I said walking away but not turning away from him at all. "I'll um... see you later?" And with that I rush off.
Once I reach the school my best friend, Danny rushes to me. "Where have you been the bell is going to ring any second!" He says as he grabs my arm and rushes me inside the building. I giggle as he practically drags me down the hallways. Once we reached our class I get a warm welcome from my teacher.
"Miss. Jackson! Have you completed your latest work?" Mrs. Fanning asks me happily. I smiled at her and pulled the piece of paper out of my bag and showed her. "Can I get started on it?" I ask politely. She gushes at the dress I've drawn and nods fast. I giggle and got to my work station and get started.
As the class comes to a end I have already completed the top part of the dress. Mrs. Fanning comes over and gasps. I jump from being startled and look at her. Her face instantly grows a smile. "Ella it is breath taking!" She says not taking her eyes off the dress. I smile and nod at her.
The bell rings and I place my mannikin in a spot where everyone would know to not touch it.

^^^^*^^^^

"Oh my gosh Danny, I have to go home. Mom and Dad are waiting for me. Good bye!" I say giggling waving bye. He groaned but smirked and waved bye. I ran down the streets tell I was a the cafe and then I stopped. Catching my breath a deep voice spoke behind.
"Ella, how are you" I turned around to see Toby eyeing me. "Just fine till now" I mumbled. I guess he heard me cuz he growled and grabbed me pulling me behind the building. He pushed me against the wall and I groaned from the pain shoot throughout my body.
"Ella, you need to watch your mouth. Or use it correctly" I looked up at him in confusion after he said that. In his eyes there was one thing you could see. Lust. "Toby just let me go home" i said as I struggled against his strength. He grabbed my waist with one of his hands and with the other my chin.
He leaned in and kissed my neck. That's when I yelled at him to get off me and I kept trying to push him away. "She asked you to leave her alone. I suggest that you do it" I heard a voice growl. I look behind Toby to see the guy from this morning clinching his fists.
Once I felt Toby's hold against me loosen, I pushed him away and ran behind the hero guy. One of his arms reached behind him and he pulled me closer. "If I hear or see you touching, speaking, looking, or even thinking about her. I will personally come a rip your pathetic dick of your pathetic body." He growled out.
Finally he pulled me out of the alley and took my face into his hands and his face flooded with worry. I nodded I felt his thumb run over my cheeks. Am I crying? "Okay it's going to be okay" he said. I nodded but still couldn't form words. "Let's get you home" he said slightly. I let out a shaky breath and nodded and started walking with the man beside me.
"What's your name?" I asked him. He looked down at me and smiled, "my name is Cade, but I have a friend who calls me S."
