I close my eyes and let the sun beam on my face. It is good to be out if the hospital. I turn my head and look at Annie. My only friend and the best one i could have ever asked for. She stayed by me for the whole two weeks i was in there. She smuggled me McDonalds and she didn't ask me any questions about what happened or why my mom didn't even bother to visit me. Im so glad for that.
Over the two weeks I've gotten way better. My ribs are still wrapped up and are still hurting very badly and besides a few bruises on my stomach the rest are gone. So on the outside everything is ok. But i still have this hallow feeling that tells me someone is out to get me.
"I'm so glad you're out if there!" Annie said we a sigh, like she was holding her breath the whole two weeks i was there.
I smiled. "Me too." I said. My voice is pretty much back to normal but with even less confidence, which i thought before was impossible. We walk over to her car.
We get in and she starts it up. She looks over at me a smiles. Then she turns up the radio full blast and starts playing One Direction. I laugh and smile while she sings/screams to her favorite song. 'I WANT YOU TO ROCK ME , ROCK ME , ROCK ME YEAH!" She hollers. I just smile and look out the window. Its a nice summer day. The snow is pretty much melted an its about 75 degrees.
Then it hits me. Where will i go? 'Home' is not an option. I feel a tear come down my cheek and i quickly wipe it away. Annie turns the music down. "Hey whats wrong?" She asks.
"Where am I going to go Annie?" I ask trying not to let my voice crack. She smiles warmly at me. "Ellie! You silly little goose you are staying at my house! My mom is a lawyer and she got the courts to let you stay!'' She said in a happy voice.
"Are you serious?" I ask. "Annie! That is the best thing anyone has ever done for me! Thank you so much." I say between thick tears. She smiles and says. "I'm glad your happy," her sentence dragged on a little. "Why didn't you tell me about what was happening?" She asked tears welling up in her eyes.
I sighed. "Annie, we just met, i don't know, i guess i was just scared and I've never had a real friend before. I never had to trust anyone." I said with a strained voice.
She didn't say anything and kept driving.
As we pull into her drive way i see her mom standing outside to meet us. She wore a yellow summer dress, a sun hat , and a beautiful smile. She looked exactly like Annie but she was much more covered in freckles.
"Hey Ellie how are you?" She asked politely.
"I'm doing great, thank you so much for letting my stay here, you are truly amazing." I said, and i meant it.
"Alright enough with all this sappy-ness, let go inside and eat some PIZZA!" Annie said, she made sure to get her best manly voice to emphasize the word pizza. I laughed.
We walked in her huge castle of a house and i fallowed her into the kitchen.
I was surprised to see Alex there, maybe he just wanted pizza. He looked at me and smiled. "Hey." He said nicely. I looked at Annie and she got the message. She handed me a bottle of spray whipped cream.
"Don't feel sorry for me pretty boy." I said and sprayed it all over him. I don't know what it is about this boy, but around him i just feel like a normal girl that has the confidence to do something like that. I smile and high five Annie. We both start laughing at Alex's face.
"What ever, why did I even try to be nice to someone like you?" He says angrily and throws a piece of hot pizza at me, and it hits me square in the face. I hear him chuckle a little while i calmly peel off a piece of pepperoni from my forehead. I will get him later i give him an evil look and i turn to see Annie on the floor, laughing her head off, i crack a small grin.
"ALEX CLEAN THIS MESS UP NOW!" I turn to see a short pale woman about in her 40's with black hair and brown eyes. She was glaring at Alex and i instantly knew it was his mother.
"Mom! It was Ellie!" He points at me like a little kid.
She looks straight at me with the same death glare and raises an eyebrow in question. I gulp.
"I...uh..." I start to stammer, then i see Alex's glare.
"I only poured whip cream all over him because he threw pizza at me, i swear it was only self defence." I say smoothly and almost like i was the victim.
"Annie?" The short woman asked.
"Ellie speaks the truth!" She says then salutes her.
"Alex clean this up now! Ellie darling you can go up stairs, I'm sure Annie will show you your new room.'' She says is a very kind voice.
I'm so happy to see someone care about me, even though they don't even know me i start to tear up, but before i can say thank you Annie grabs me by the arm and drags me up the many stairs.
As soon as we reach out of ear site Annie starts to laugh, she even snorted causing me to double over laughing, which hurt so bad i had to sit down and breath in and out for thirty seconds.
"You ok?" Annie asks, her face looking worried and scared.
I huff, "yeah, I'm just a little out of wind." I say, ending it with a wince.
She helps me up and leads me past her bedroom and another one, and another one to my new room.
"Now, we didn't know your favorite theme for a room is, so we just whipped this up in about three days, i know it isn't much but i hope you like it." With that Annie opens the door.
My mouth hangs open. Its at least as big as her room but this one has a window dome seat and a walk in closet that has beads for a door. The room's paint is purple and the ceiling is silver. My bed is a circle just like Annie's but the comforter is the same purple as the walls and the pillows are silver. There is also a desk, a book shelf, and a tv. I start to tear up, this is way too much.
"Annie, i cant even.." I start to say.
"Wait! You haven seen the best part!" She says and takes my hand. She leads me to the bead door. We walk in the closet. There is three drawers and a rack for my shirts to hang on, and there we many new shirts hanging, also i found a lot of new expensive looking clothes in the drawers.
"Annie, i cant even begin to say how amazing this is!" I sob. She just smiles.
"I love you Ellie and by the looks of it your old situation was something no one deserves and i would do anything to make you feel better." She says.
"I still cant believe your dad could do something like that to you." She whispers.
"He is not my dad." I say with slight shakiness in my voice.
"Oh," i hear her say. I lick my lips and realize i have pizza on my face still.
I laugh. "Can i take a shower now?" I say with a smile.
She looks at me for a minute and then comes back to earth. "OH YAH!" She say then leads me to the bathroom.
