When I'm done getting ready Declan is nowhere to be found. Shrugging my shoulders I head downstairs and pop a bagel into the toaster. My mom walks into the kitchen putting on a pair of earrings and Julian trails not far behind. My body immediately stiffens and I turn back around towards the toaster.
"Good Morning sweetie." She chirps.
Chapter 30Ella's POV:Declan's green orbs bore into mine with great intensity. His jaw clenches as his teeth grit together. I watch as his hand reaches for his chocolate brown hair, h
Declan pulls into our school parking lot and proceeds to park. He still holds my hand as my heart goes crazy in my chest. I'm so nervous, school is a place I loathe. Crowded halls, scorching stares, and extreme anxiety combined are pretty much intolerable.But having Declan with me makes it a bit more bearable, he has no idea how much I rely on him now. He's well...let's just say I need him, I have no idea what I would do without him.
Chapter 31Declan's POV:Julian. I want to crush his skull, I want him to suffer, I want him to drown in pain. He touched MY ELLA. He threatened her, he put his repulsive hands on her,
I stop at the door for a second and take a deep breath before seeing Wes. I play football now because tackling is a good way to let it all out. I don't play for him, never for him. Pleasing Julian was never in my best interest, but for Hayes it was. He would do anything to make Julian approve of him unlike me.Ella will not go through the pain he caused me, he will not touch her.
Chapter 32Ella's POV:Love is something powerful, something that everybody feels differently, something that has multiple meanings. Love is a word you can use to describe a person you
My phone vibrates in my bag but I refuse to check it. I know it's Declan and he's probably wondering where I am, he usually meets me at my locker before lunch and I'm ten minutes late.I can't talk to him, not now.I love him, I love him so much that it hurts. But I'm a freak and a freak like me
Chapter 33Declan's POV:Her hair is so soft, my fingers slowly intertwine in with her thick blonde locks. Her hair is like silk, shiny and sleek, but thick with volume. I separate it into three groups and no I don't know how to braid, but I move the strands anyway in every which direction. Soon my hands become entang
Our eyes lock and my heart stops. His long legs move towards me, I'm frozen in his gaze. He gets closer and my head tilts up, his tall stature hovering over my smaller one.His hand cups my face. "You're my missing piece, the high to my adrenaline, and my rainbow after the rain." He whispers not once taking his off of mine. "And I need you to know I love you so goddamn much." My heart stutters, "So goddamn much Ellie."
**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.
