Ella's POV
3 months later
It's been 3 months since i've spoken with Damien. 3 months avoiding him. 3 months of feeling extremely guilty. But I just couldn't face him. Even adter three months it feels like I still can't trust him. For the first month he tried talkimg to me, but my so called 'avoiding people skills' made him give up.
It's spring now and my birthday is coming up. It's on spring break which is next week.
Honestly I can't wait for spring break to come so I can lock myself in my room for a whole week with food and girls stuff.
"Ella?" Breanne waves her hand in front of my face.
I snap back into reality.
"Oh uh what?" I say.
"Spring break? Beach house? Ashton? Ringing any bells?" She says but I have no idea what this mentally ill woman is talking about.
"Huh?"
"Ashton didn't tell you?" I shake my head. "Next week we are gonna go to your beach house in Florida for your birthday since your mum will be at France for work." Not surprised.
"Really!?"
"Yup and we all will be coming too!" She says excitedly.
"I can't wait!!" I haven't been to that beach house for so long! The last we all went was when my dad and my friends' family had business so they brought us there and that is how our friendship was formed.

One week later and her I am surrounded by my clothes. In case your wondering, yes I am packing last minute. I'm also looking for something to wear. So technically, I'm multitasking.
After what seemed like ages, I finally had everything I needed and a decent outfit. I tied my hair up into a messy bun and I was ready to go.
After that I brought my suitcases downstairs. I had two. One was my clothes and stuff. The other was a bit smaller but it contained girl stuff like flat iron, curling iron, hair dryer, towels, accessories, etc.
"ASHTON!!!! IF YOU WANT TO PROVE TO BE A MAN HELP ME CARRY MY STUFF DOWN!!!" I yelled from my room.
I brought out my suitcases with ease so that Ash wouldn't see stuff he isn't supposed to. My suitcase isn't that heavy. I was just too lazy to do stuff.
"COMING!!!" He yells back. He carries my suitcases down and honestly he looked like he just ran 2 miles.
"What do you carry woman?" He says out of breath. Boxer my ass. Yeah he's a boxer.
"You wouldn't understand. It's kinda like a girl's thing." I say and walk off carrying my stuff without breaking a sweat. (no offense to guys who bring a lot of stuff too.)
"So how are we going there?" I ask Ash.
"By airplanes. First class. I could've used mine but I haven't used in a long time so it's under repair." He says.
"Okay."
The driver drives to the airport while I look out the window.
~•~
We arrive at the airport and everyone is already waiting.
"Okay guys. Here is the seating, I will be next to mi amor." He says and smiles and Tessa. Tessa blushes and I look at them in awe. They are too adorable. "Jason and Breanne, Jenna and Nate, Jacob and Xander and Damien and Ella." My eyes widen. What?! No! Then all those 3 months would be for nothing. Dammit.
I just stay quiet not being able speak for some reason.
I don't look at Damien because that same image would pop in my head again.
~•~
Damien let's me sit near the window. I've never been on an airplane not sitting next to my brother. I hate it when we take off. I get anxiety attacks sometimes but that's when we take off. Ash was always there to help me calm down.
The stewardess announces that we are about to take off and I shut my eyes. I grip the armrest really tight as we take off but I feel a familiar warmth hold my hand calming me down in an instant. I don't open my eyes to see who it is just hope for all this to be over. Finally we are in the air and the plane isn't that fast anymore. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and look at the hand that was holding mine. I look up to see who the hand belonged to and instantly blush and look away.
I look out the window to see the view of my hometown. USA. I smiled. I could feel a pair of eyes staring at me and I knew who it was.
"Ella." He suddenly said.
I snap my head towards him and when I saw his eyes that were once full of life I swear someone just let out a freaking zoo in my stomach. Was it the burritos I had?
"I'm sorry about what happened that night. But please I beg of you, please let me explain." He says pleading me with his gorgeous hazel eyes.
I close my eyes and let him explain. I feel like i'm being too selfish. I should hear his part of the story I guess.
Slowly, I nod. He lets out a breath of relief.
"I know I messed up but I did it for you. Violet...she threatened me saying that she would tell the whole school about what happened between you and Ryan if I didn't please her. I'm sorry Elena. I just couldn't see you hurt again but instead I hurt you. I'm sorry. Please stop avoiding me." Oh crabby patties! Now I feel awful. I should've just let him explain earlier! I'm an idiot.
"No. I'm sorry. I was being selfish. You did what you thought was right. I'm sorry Damien." I say with my head hanging low.
Then he does the unexpected. He hugs me.
I hug him back. Oh God the cliche he smells like mint and stuff. He actually smells like pine cones. I'm not that interested in pine cone smells but his smell is the most comforting.
"I missed you Ellie." My breath hitched in my throat and my body goes tense.
"I missed you too Damie." Tears were forming in my eyes and rolled down my face.
We pull away but I look away. Ugh I'm such a crybaby. I look at him and give him a small smile.
I take out my headphones and put them on. Before I realized it, I fell asleep.

Damien's POV
She looks so beautiful.
She started falling asleep but i can tell the window wasn't comfortable.
I put her head on my shoulder and she snuggles closer, hugging my arm. I chuckle. So adorable. Oh God i'm such a creep.
Ellie was always like that. She liked being in the cold but she liked being warm in the cold. She liked snuggling in blankets when it's cold.
She didn't like feeling cold though. She looks adorable and hot at the same time in that cute messy bun, her glasses and outfit.
God I missed her. The couple of months she avoided me was like hell. Not being able to hold her or talk to her was slowly eating me up. When I hugged her just now, I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.
She's been through a lot I can tell. I just don't understand why I didn't know about Ryan earlier. That stupid bastard.
I lifted up the thing to make it look like a bed so you could lie down and hugged her close.
I love you Ellie.
