Elliot closed her eyes afraid that her tears was going to fall and leaned back on to her bed.

Now

“Has Arin said anything to you yet?”

“Addie, he’s not talking to me at all. I fucked up, I’ll admit that, I just want him back.” Elliot said as she lay down on her bed. Addie joined her and lay next to her.

“He’s not said anything about you…so I guess that’s good. He misses you. I can tell.”

“That doesn’t men that he misses me. If you say so then it’s fifty/fifty. Its been more than a month and he fucking hates my guts. He never replies to my texts, never calls me back and he doesn’t look at me in school.”

“I’ll see if I can get anything from him.”

“Thanks Addie,”

“Welcome. Just out of curiosity, have you heard anything from the guys? Or Leana?”

“No…London passes messages from Leana sometimes but other than that, that’s it. Matt’s not sent anything since he met my Dad. I miss them so much.”

“I know that you do, so why don’t we go over? Leana wont know will she?”

Elliot sighed then shook her head.

“So come on, get dressed and we’ll tell your Mom and Dad that were just going for a walk.”
Elliot just nodded her head and got dressed. What if Leana is there? What if Matt’s forgotten about my? Jimmy…what will he think? Elliot shook her head and tried to get the ‘What if’s out of her head.

“We’re going out. We’ll be back later.” Elliot shouted as she made her way to the door.
Before her Mom or Dad could say anything the front door slammed shut and the two teenagers ran around the corner of the block so Mr or Mrs Sanders couldn’t see them.

“El, its gonna be fine. Trust me!”

“That’s the thing, I don’t when it’s something like this.” Elliot laughed as Addie started to hit her.

After half an hour of walking about and Addie moaning to Elliot, they were outside Matt’s house. Elliot looked at the door and sighed. This was her only option.

“Go on, the soon you knock on the door, the sooner we can go.” Addie said as she looked over at Elliot.

Elliot lifted her shaky hand and knocked on the door a few times. She heard movement in the house and her breath caught in her throat when she saw a topless Jimmy open the door.

“Elliot, why are you here?” he asked, rubbing the back of his head.

“I-I-I needed to see Matt.” Elliot stuttered. She looked at some of his tattoos and noticed that she was staring and looked at Addie for help.

“Basically Jimmy, we need to see all of you. Matt, Brian, Zacky, Johnny and you.” Addie said as she walked pass Jimmy and into the living room. Elliot smiled weakly and followed her friend.

Jimmy closed the door and shouted the guys down. One by one the guys started to pile in the living room, Matt being the last one.

“Elliot?”

“I got your letter.”

“Why are you here? You left, remember!?” Matt started to shout.

“But you said to call you if I need anything,”

Elliot sighed and looked out of the window. Shit!

A few seconds later Leana came into the house with a few bags.

“Matt? Jimmy?” she shouted out.

“Living room,” Jimmy called out as he saw Elliot look towards the doorway.

“Why are you all in- Elliot?”

“We were just going.” Elliot said as she stood up and grabbed Addie.

Brian and Zacky stepped in their way and Elliot looked down at her shoes.

“They’ve been here for the past few minutes.” Johnny said as he looked at Leana.

Brian helped Zacky move the girls back to where they were and blocked all exits.

“Let’s carry on our conversation.” Matt said as he looked over his sister.

“Matt, I’m sorry for leaving…but I had to.” Elliot said quietly.

“Why did you ‘have to’?” Jimmy said, using air quotes.

“Because…because your girlfriend is a psycho bitch.” Elliot said firmly, looking at Jimmy.

“What do you have against me!?” Leana said, near enough in fake tears.

“What do you have against me? You slapped me the night I left! You and London talked to me and you told me to leave!”

“Calm down El,” Addie said as she walked up behind her friend.

Elliot took a deep breath and sat back down. Matt looked at Leana then to Elliot.

“How do I find out who’s telling the truth?” Matt said as he stared at Elliot.

“Who do you believe more?” Zacky said as he looked over at Matt.

Matt sighed and walked over to Zacky. Matt whispered his answer and Zacky sighed but nodded his head.

“Elliot, why would you lie about these things?” Matt said as he looked over at Lana. Jimmy was holding her closely to him.

“You don’t believe me? Your all as bad as each other! Why don’t you all just get fucking high and forget that this ever happened!” Elliot shouted as tears ran down her face.

They all glared at her while Addie just stood there, mouth open.

“Come with me,” Brian said as he walked into the kitchen.

Elliot followed him and saw him open the back door. He walked into the garden and waited for Elliot.

Once Elliot was in the back garden and the back door was shut, Brian grabbed Elliot by her hair and looked at her.

“Why is it you all was bring up drugs? I never noticed until Jimmy pointed it out a few weeks ago.”

“Brian, let go…you’re hurting me.”

“Answer the fucking question. Why do you always bring up drugs?”

“Because there bad for you! Now get the fuck off me!”

Brian punched Elliot in the stomach and pushed her onto the grass. Elliot was crying softly to herself. Brian kneeled down to her and stroked her cheek.

“You shouldn’t piss me off,” Brian whispered.

“Get the…fuck away.” Elliot gasped out.

“Watch it El, you don’t want me to do more damage, do you?”

“Fuck off.”

Brian stood up full height and kicked Elliot in the stomach a few times. Elliot begged him to
stop, but Brian never listened to her.

“You should know better by now,”

The back door opened and everyone ran out into the back garden. Addie gasped and ran over to Elliot.

“What the fuck, Brian!” Addie shouted.

Brian smirked and chuckled softly. Addie looked at him and punched him in the jaw. Brian grunted at the sudden hit and backed away from Addie.

“Addie,” Elliot said softly. Addie kneeled and stroked her friends head softly.

“What do you need?” Addie asked softly.

“My Mom, it looks like we’re not welcome.”

Elliot closed her eyes and Addie tried to get Elliot to stay awake. Addie looked at Matt for help and noticed that he looked shocked.

“Matt?” Addie asked. Matt ran to where his little sister is and picked her up bridal style. He ran through the house with Jimmy and Addie hot on his heels.

Matt placed Elliot in the back and Jimmy climbed in with her. Addie went into the front and watched Jimmy with Elliot. Elliot’s head was in Jimmy’s lap. He was gently stroking her hair.
Addie smiled softly and noticed that Matt was driving too fast.

“Matt! Slow down!” Matt nodded his head and went a bit slower. He kept on looking at Elliot through the mirror and saw how Jimmy was with her.

“Mom should know what to do, and hopefully we don’t need to go to hospital, but if we do we
have to cover up for Brian.”

“Why?” Addie exclaimed.

“He’s high…” Jimmy said. He sighed and looked down at Elliot.

A few minutes later they were at Matt’s parents house. He walked in Addie behind him and Jimmy holding Elliot in his arms behind Addie.

“Matt! What a lovely surprise! Jimmy- what’s wrong with Elliot?” Mrs Sanders asked.

Matt looked over at Jimmy then sighed.

“I don’t know, but Addie said she got attacked.” Matt said. He didn’t look at his Mom because he hated lying to her, but it had to be done, for his friends sake.

“Jimmy put her down on the sofa…Addie, you may need to go home. I’m sorry Addie, but-”

“It’s fine Mrs Sanders, I know the reasons.” Addie said as she hugged Matt and Jimmy.
Addie then made her way to the door and looked over at her friend one last time before going home.

“Matt, go and get your Dad and Amy’s in her room but knock…Dan’s round.”

Jimmy just stood there helpless as Matt went upstairs.

“Mrs Sanders-”

“Jimmy, you’re not a little boy anymore. You can call me Kim.”

“Kim, do you need help with anything?” Jimmy asked as he looked down at Elliot.

“Can you get me some warm water and a cloth please? It looks like she’s bleeding.”

Then Jimmy say it. Elliot’s right cheek was bleeding. Jimmy nodded his head dumbly and got the things Kim asked for. Once he came back into the living room, he saw the family in there. Amy had tears in her eyes, holding on to Dan. Dan just looked numb as he saw Kim take off Elliot’s shirt. Matt paced about. Gary Sanders just stood there, looking at his limp daughter.

“Thanks Jimmy,” Kim said as she took the bowl of water and cloth from him.

Jimmy went to Matt and stopped his pacing.

“Brian bruised her up pretty bad,” Matt whispered.

“I know,” Jimmy whispered back s he saw Elliot’s bare stomach.

“I think we might need to go hospital,” Kim said as she turned around and looked at everyone tears streaming down her face.

Amy let out a sob and cuddled into Dan even more. Matt and Jimmy looked at each other. Tears were forming in both of their eyes. Gary took his youngest into his arms and kissed her head softy.

“Matt, Jimmy. You two are coming in the car with us. I want you both in the back at both ends so Elliot can lay down. Amy, Dan. You can use any car.”

Matt nodded at his Dad and everyone followed him out of the door. Jimmy and Matt got into Mr Sanders’ car and waited for him to place Elliot down. Once he did his wife placed a blanket over her so that she was covered up. Matt looked at his sister and shook his head softly.

Way to fucking go, Brian, way to go… Jimmy and Matt were thinking at the same time while Mr Sanders drove.
