Chapter 16
Ellas POV:
This weekend has been so boring, no exaggeration needed and that's very strange coming from me. Usually, the weekends are like my jam, but not this one. I enjoy b
We have been driving for a little over an hour, the low buzz of the radio is heard in the background along with the rumble of the engine. Most of the drive has had the same pine tree scenery. Not that I'm complaining, I love the woods. Well, when I don't have bad dreams about them."Why are you so quiet." Declan breaks the comfortable silence.
Chapter 17Ella's POV:Meeting Declan's sister has been the highlight of my week.
As we joke another series of knocks on my front door are heard from my room. Olivia looks at me and I just shrug getting up from the bed. We walk down my old creaky stairs and to my door to see who's here.Pulling open the door I look to see who it is. When I see just who's here, a smile simpers onto my pasty lips. The boy I've been worried about stands in front of me with his arms crossed, his soft lips were curved up, his cheekbones high.
Chapter 18Ella's POV:The hours pass as Declan and I lay in the sunflower field waiting for the sun to descend. He said he wanted to stay till sunset because he wanted me to see it, s
As we pull into my bumpy driveway a feeling of dread sits in my chest. I don't want to go and I don't want him to leave. Willing myself out of the car, I tell him thank you and then head up to my house. When I get inside, I get ready to run upstairs just when my mom stops me."Ella Mae Emerson," She says, her lips curving up. "Where have you been?"
Chapter 19Declan's POV:"Are you okay Ellie?" I question, her stiff body language just an observation I take into account.
Ella's POV:It's been a little over an hour since Declan left for football practice and I already miss him. Just sitting in between his legs with my back against his chest and his fingers brushing along my skin felt special, safe. The way Declan makes me feel is amazing, he makes all things in this world better.
Chapter 20Ella's POV:Loud coughs erupt deep in my throat, a dry scratchy feeling that itches like crazy. The harshness of it wakes me up as my coughs try to relieve the uncomfortable
**Her Rock Sequel**Agape: noun. 1. The highest form of love. Selfless, sacrificial, and unconditional love; persists no matter the circumstance.He was one boy, but he was her boy.
On the way to Declan's place, we make an unexpected stop at the grocery store. My eyes cast over to him in confusion."Ice cream baby, I want ice cream."I smile and shake my head before getting out of the car. We walk hand in hand into the grocery store. A smile curves onto my lips, this is whe
Ella's POV:After the game adrenaline coursed through me. My team was over the moon due to our first win. It was such a rush, but honestly, all I wanted was to cuddle into the cocoon of the person who gives me a high that's greater than this.Being
I do a lap around the track to get my muscles moving and after stretch my legs out doing some lunges, Frankenstein's, and opening and closing the gates.When I'm done stretching I take out my soccer ball and begin to do toe taps, cuts, pullbacks, roll sides, etc. Doing this before a game I find helps during the game. My moves tend to be more precise and accurate.
Chapter 38Ella's POV:Today was the day. My first game back. And to sum it up I was a panicky agitated mess all day. I knew it, Olivia knew it, Thomas knew it, my mom knew it, Wes kne
I just wanted the day to end but I swear it dragged on as slowly as possible. Plus my teachers could be so irritating. I was already sent to the office once for 'not cooperating'. Apparently winning a sarcasm war against my teacher was considered not cooperating.Wes and I were talking and the mother fucker decided to callonlyme out on it.
Chapter 37Declan's POV:One year later.
Ella's POV:I feel heavy like I'm being held down by a thousand-pound weight. Nothing's right, everything feels so wrong. We barely had any time, we're supposed to have more time.Seeing Declan like that has hit me hard, knocking all the wind out of me. Now I'm falling like an avalanche.
Chapter 36Wes's POV:Holding up the signal felt like a victory. The fire alarm wasn't planned but it sure did help.
