Chapter Eleven

*Not Edited*

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

*Elaine's POV*

I woke up with a massive headache, what the fudging fudge.

Flashbacks from last night started replaying in my head until I started breathing rapidly and the room became dizzy, I stood up slowly but lost my balance, I braced myself for hitting the floor, but instead, I felt warm arm clasp around my waist and lift me onto the bed. Was it my bed?

I let the dizziness wear off. I looked up and saw... Ryder!

I lifted my hands to my face, but a sharp pain disrupted my plans.

"W-What happened," I asked in confusion.

"You were apart of a cruel prank Princess, one up my buddies though you were important to us, they accidentally bruised up your face," I can't say that what he said didn't hurt me, it did, and the tears on my face proved that.

Ryder sighed then said "I don't want you around us anymore, and if you come near us on purpose, I'll..." another sigh "I'll make sure you regret it, okay princess." he didn't make eye contact as he said the last bit.

"O-O-Okay," what he said put enough fear in me to put fear in the devil, but that's not what I'm worried about, it's the fact that I still like him as much as I do. Why?

"I'll have Denton take you home, and Elaine" stated Ryder softly.

"Y-Yeah."

"You never meant anything to them, you were just a game."

He walked out.

I cried for a little bit before I walked out and was met with Denton, I couldn't make eye contact, not after what Ryder said, and especially if I was gonna cry again, which I would.

"Come on Elaine."

I walked past him without a word, I only look up once and saw the twins, they looked sad, but I looked down right away and walked out of the house, but I didn't wait for Denton, I took the back way: the beach and started running to Adeline's house crying.

It was two pm so her parents should be at work, I banged on her front door, she swung it open with force, but when she saw me, she softened up and said "what the frick happened to you." she pulled me inside and started asking questions.

"They said you'd be fine, I have some words for them! A game, a fucking game, and your damn face, god I'm gonna kill them, maybe not Ryder, but the Coppers I will fucking kill them! UGH! Damn it!" yelled Adeline.

I was flinching back in my spot on her bed before she looked at me with her soft blue eyes and said: "sorry, I know yelling and stuff scares you, puts you on edge, but I'll be damned if my best friend comes to my house crying and with a bruise on her beautiful face."

There was a pause for a second before she breathed deeply and asked for the trillionth time "are you sure Ryder didn't do it."

"Addy, I'm sure. But can you help me cover it up and if my parents ask we were playing and I fell. oh and I spent the night at your house."

"Of course... look at you being all baddie baddie."

Maybe this was better, being away from them it would keep me out of trouble.

I walked home with Adeline after she covered up my bruise. I had to end up taking over because she has never had a bruise this bad. I got rid of all my make up after my grandpa died, I became a pro before he died so did Violet.

"I'm home I yelled" once I walked in my back door with Addie

"How was the sleepover," asked my dad.

"Amazing," said Adeline, my dad smiled.

"Sebastian!" said my mother sternly, "our daughter was out without a trace, phone at home, no note," of course this isn't your fault Addie Hunny. "I was worried sick young lady, but you were out of harm's way and with someone safe, somewhere safe and that's all that matters to me."

I smiled awkwardly then ran upstairs with Adeline after apologizing.

*Denton's POV*

Ryder already told us the game plan, I didn't agree with it in any way, but it had to be done and none of us had any better ideas, not even me. Putting Elaine in harm's way on accident was going to be on my conscience until the day I die, but one purpose, which would be what we're doing if she sticks around us, I would have nightmares. Even though I only knew her for a short time, I think of her as a little sister I almost had but never got.

"It's done, and easier than I thought. She's a big cry baby, you know that" said Ryder walking out of the room Elaine is in with a smile on his face: dick I thought.

"Hey, you still good to take her home," asked Ryder.

"Yeah, I'll wait for her though." She probably needs time after that inconsiderate fucker was in there.

I was standing by the door waiting for her when the door opened and she didn't even make eye contact. She wasn't moving at all so I said softly "come on Elaine," No more nicknames either stated Ryder before he went in there and made her feel like shit.

She walked past me without a word I don't think he looked up at all as she walked away, I stood at the doorway for a little longer before I sighed and walked out of the house, but when I got there Elaine was gone, there's no fucking way she was kidnapped again.

The beach, she loves the beach. I ran to my back yard and saw her running in the direction of her house, can't blame her. I walked along the beach a little but decided to stay on the beach. I pulled my phone out of my jeans pocket and texted the group chat: Ryder, Jax, and Jake.

I was left alone for a good few hours or more. I haven't touched my phone since I texted the group, but It's sunset.

"Hey"

"Jake, Jax," I said, Jake, stood to my left and Jax to my right

"She's like the sister we almost got but never had," said Jake.

"You thought so too," said me and Jax almost in sync.

"Yeah," I said softly. The sunset on the beach is beautiful, it's the kind that makes you feel content with the world and the type that would make you look like a shadow from far away.

We all softly smiled at each other, then I asked "Jax"

"yeah"

"do you have your phone on you"

"No... why" he asked with caution, too late

"because of this," I said as I lifted him up with the help from Jake and we threw him in the water, but he ended up taking us down with him.

A/N: I might add more to this later, but I'm having a little bit of writer's block so If you get an update alert just come back to check this chapter, I'm sorry it's so short lately. I feel bad it's just difficult to do school, deal with my mother, and my best friend just had some bad things happen to her. Please forgive me.

Another thing is I now have an Inkitt and Wattpad account, you can go follow that if you want. It's Emmaleth Keathley. Thanks for understanding! :) ;)
