Chapter - 8

The next day

I was scrolling through my phone when I got a notification .

Heyo !

Hi ! Had dinner ?

Yep . What about you ?

I did too .

Good .

So what are you doing ?

Nothing . Just sitting in my bed . You ? Oh, I talked to Olly today .

About what ? About why he's been acting weird .

Oh and what did he say ?

He said something like ,' You don't see it at all ' or something .

Really ?

Yeah . I don't even know what he meant .

Did he say anything else ?

Nope .

Oh .

Ya - still feels weird .

So you don't like walking with me ?

What ? No no . It's not that . I really like hanging out with you . It's just - I thought I did something . You know me - overthinking stuff . That's why .

It's fine . I get it .

So , what are you doing ?

Oh well I was about to watch something .

??

Friends ?

Really ?

Have you watched it ?

Yess . I am in love with that show .

Yea . It's hilarious . You've watched it all ?

Of course, I have watched it too many times to even count .

Well I'm hoping to finish it as soon as I can so I can watch it again from the beginning .

What season are you in ?

I'm in season 4 right now .

Cool . Wanna watch it together ?

You wanna watch it again ?

Of course . You can come by tomorrow after school and we can watch it .

Are you sure ?

Yes . It would be so much fun .

Sure . I can come tomorrow then .

YAY .

Haha .

So , who is your favorite ? Chandler for sure . He is just way too funny .

I know right .

Who's your favorite ?

Umm - I don't know . Maybe Phoebe , Rachel , Monica , Joey , Chandler and Ross ?

Haha . So all ?

No wait . Gunther and Janice too for sure .

Yep . All .

Haha . Yea . I just love the story in each episode and the humor .

Yeah . It always cracks me up .

I love everyone . I love Phoebe's sassiness , Ross's expressions , Rachel's enthusiasm , Monica's I know .

Joey's stupidity with his love and Chandler's sarcasm .

Exactly . Even -

Gunther's love for Rachel and Janice's Oh my god .

HAHA .

After talking about friends with Sam for like an hour , we both said our good nights .

See you tomorrow .

See ya .

Just as I was about to turn off the lights , I saw someone standing outside my window holding the window for support .

" Olly ? " I asked as I opened my window . " What are you doing here ? "

" Can I stay here tonight ? " he asked . " Yeah . Come in . What's wrong ? "

" Arthur is here . Mom asked me to leave . " he said as he came in .

" Why is he here again ? " I asked . " I don't know, " he said looking sad .

" It's ok . Come here . " I hugged him .

After a while , he pulled away and went and lied in the bed as I did the same . He had his arm in his forehead facing the ceiling .

" You okay Olly ? " I asked sleeping the same way as him . " I'll be fine . I just - why does mom have to keep up with that shit ? " asked Olly angrily before sighing . " Can we talk about something else ? " he asked, to which I just nodded .

" I was just talking to Sam before you came in . " I said . " About what ? "

" Friends . We're watching it tomorrow here . You can join us if you want . " I said . " Nah . You've already made me watch it too many times . I don't wanna watch it again . "

" It'll be fun . Come on . " I said . " Nah . Besides , mom and I are leaving tomorrow . Remember ? "

" Oh right . I forgot . Sorry . "

" It's ok . "

" When will you be back ? " I asked . " After 2 days . We just have to finish all the paperwork . "

" Oh ok . Take care of Mrs. Maxwell and yourself . " I said, turning to the side . " I will . "

" Do you think Mrs. Maxwell is fine by herself there ? " I asked as I tried looking outside the window from my bed .

" I don't know . I wish I could go there but she asked me not to be back till the morning, " he said . " I can't not obey her, " he sighed . " It'll be okay Olly . " I said with a little hope .

" I hope so . " he said as he got up and turned off the light . He then went around the bed and closed the curtains and lied on the bed again .

" Good night Olly . " I said . " Good night Ells . " he whispered back .

I woke up when I felt someone's cold hands on my cheek .

" AHHHH . " I yelled and threw my arms around in my air trying to hit those cold hands . " It's me . " squeaked Olly .

" Olliver . " I whined and glared at him . " Woah . Sorry . Just wake up . " he said

" Nooooooooo " I pulled back my blanket and wrapped myself in it . " Ellie . " he said and pulled my blanket .

" You cold stone hearted person - no no no - just LET me sleep . LET ME SLeeeeeeeeeeeep " I said and tried pulling my blanket up . He just pulled it back himself and I fell down . He started laughing .

" If it is something stupid I swear you will regret it . " I said and stood up angrily, folding my arms .

" We're leaving . Just wanted to say goodbye . " he said and now I could see that he was all dressed up and was carrying a bag .

" What time is it ? " I asked . " It's 5 am . " he said .

" Why is it soo dark ? " I asked him, looking towards the window . " I don't know . The weather I guess . "

I went near the window , opened it and there she was .

" Have a safe trip Mrs. Maxwell . Call me when you get there . Bye . " I yelled .

" I will Ellie . Thank you . " she yelled back . I could see my dad down there too . I closed my window and turned to face Olly .

" Well goodbye . Take care . Love you . " I hugged Olly and fell on my bed . He just laughed .

" Goodbye Ell . Love you too . See you soon . " he threw my blanket on me . I just curled up in it and fell back asleep .
