Chapter 22 – I Don’t Think I Will Regret This

Ellie

My heart is pounding so fast and I couldn’t breathe properly. I can’t calm myself down after hearing what Austin said.

He must have just said that to lure Elena out but what if it was true?

I can feel my face heating up, I place both of my hands on my cheeks and quickly made my way to the dining area before they notice that I was there all along.

“What are you still doing here?” Elliot said as soon as he got out from the kitchen, holding a paper bag at hand.

“I—uh, I—erm—waiting, for you.” I said stuttering.

He has a confused look on his face, he raises an eyebrow, “Is there something wrong?”

“Can we go home now?” I quickly responded and turn my back to him as I wait for him to walk.

He didn’t say a word and lead the way towards the door, “I don’t know what’s gotten into you but you’re quite red.”
