chapter 28 : "I love you, Ellie."

Chapter 28 : "I love you, Ellie."

DO NOT GET TOO EXCITED SOMETIMES CLICKBAITS CAN BE FUN.

********************************

I woke up to pretty much everyone chatting outside but for some reason, they're doing it loudly.

But will that stop me from trying to sleep again? Absolutely not.

I turned around, trying to get more comfortable.

For godssake, why can't they just shut the fuck up for once and let me sleep?

I heard the door click open which means someone is planning to wake me up and since I don't feel like getting up, I'm gonna pretend that I'm too deep into my sleep, that I can't hear anything.

I felt the footsteps getting closer and then someone dropped next to me.

And then it was just complete silence.

Okay?

I'm sure they'll wake me up any minute now.

Any minute.

Still nothing. Okay, what the hell? Now this is getting too uncomfortable.

Maybe I can open my eyes slightly and peak quickly.

No, what if they notice and then I'll have to get up!

I finally make my mind up and decide to steal a glance, I'm sure I can play it off just like I do everyday!

It was shocking. The second I opened my eyes into very thin slits, which trust me requires intense work and great skills, I was met with a familiar beautiful green eyes.

Aaron was just staring at me, I guess. I couldn't really see clearly but that's as far as I got.

"Oreo." He whispered as he gently shook my right shoulder.

Now let me get this straight. I have never been woken up so calmly. Everyone always yells at me, and it's fine, I know they got a point, I don't get up easily.

This is fresh. I like it.

Yet I pretend to stay asleep, maybe he'll go away!

"Oreo!" Aaron repeats, not whispering anymore, but still in a low voice nevertheless.

I don't make a move.

Holy shit, I'm not wearing a bra! Oh my god, is Aaron Owens looking at my nipples through my shirt now?

Naaah, this hoodie is too oversized, it'll make a decent job at covering my chest.

Suddenly, he removes his hand from my shoulder, and the warmth that was left due to the small contact slips away.

Please return your hand, please return your hand.

Okay, Ellie, What the hell?!

What happened next shocked me even more. I felt the same warm arms lift the blanket I had on me higher to cover my arms, which were left free to shiver that they needed Aaron's warmth.

I hear Aaron's sigh followed by his footsteps heading away from me.

"She's not waking up, just leave her to sleep." I hear Aaron inform whoever is on that other side of the door.

Okay now I just feel guilty. Do I feel guilty enough to get up and spend a few hours with my friends or not?

I guess not, I'll just go back to sleep.

But then I heard the inevitable. "Okay then, she'll miss breakfast." I can tell that that is Rose replying to Aaron.

Okay now I just feel upset. Do I want to sleep or get up and eat?

Not gonna lie, I do feel a little hungry.

Maybe someone will come in again and wake me up. Yeah, I'll wait, this time I will get up and eat.

Aaron and Rose's voices start to fade as they moved further away. It's okay, someone's ought to come in right now!

About five minutes later, no one approached my existence, so I made a plan to get up and claim that my mom called me and I had to pick up.

After I had freshened up in the bathroom, I made my way to the kitchen only to be met by Ethan with a pancake on his face, as Steve films him.

I have weird friends.

"Um." I furrowed my brows in confusion.

"Good morning Ellie." Ethan's voice came out muffled due to the pancake lying on his face.

"I really don't understand." I said, as I made my way over to take a seat at the table.

"Why did you wake up, it's too early." Laurel said sarcastically as she glared at me.

"Wow," I said glaring back, "oh yeah, it's too early," I added, "guess I should just go back to bed." I made a move to get up but Joey reached out at the right time and pulled me back down.

Laurel laughed. "Mom called me, so I had to pick it up." I grinned as I managed to lie so effortlessly.

"Oh, so you didn't wake up due to Aaron, nor Ethan's obnoxious voice." Rose smirked at Ethan, clearly teasing him.

I laughed nervously just as Ethan was midway in removing the pancake from his face and muttering, "It's not that obnoxious."

"I think it's beautiful." I giggled at Ethan.

"I love you, Ellie." Ethan chuckled, pretending to be wiping a tear.

"I love you more." I said in a fake crying voice as well.

Rose gave us a disgusted look and rolled her eyes and we all laughed.

"Don't avoid the question, Oreo." Aaron said out of nowhere, giving me a smug look.

I shifted my eyes to look at him, as he was seated in front of me. "What question?"

Oh, I know what question.

"About you waking up." Aaron leaned back, smirking at me.

I glared at him. "I told you, mom called me."

"Oh yeah, right." Aaron said taking a sip of his coffee.

Everyone was silent as I just glared at Aaron. Where is he getting with this.

"I feel like we should watch a movie with the two more hours we have." Nathan said all of the sudden, referring to the two hours we have before we get home.

"Horror movies are not fun in the morning." Laurel claimed.

"Just because you love horror movies, doesn't mean it's all we can and want to watch." Aaron narrowed his eyes at Laurel.

"I second that." I said, with a mouthful of pancakes.

"Whatever." Laurel pouted.

"Dude, who made these delicious pancakes!" I squealed, surprising everyone.

"What.. it's good, I just got a bit excited." I retreated, looking down.

"I made them." Steve said.

I looked up at Steve and smiled at him and then looked back and forth between him and Rose.

"What?" Rose eventually yelled as no one understood what I was hinting at.

"I just feel like I'm so proud you are my best friend, you make amazing choices, and I can't wait for you to marry Steve." I said as dramatically as I can.

"Ellie, you're an amazing human being," Steve said as he pretended to be flipping his long hair that doesn't exist, "Just like me." He added, smiling at Rose.

"Oh, don't let it get into your head." Rose rolled her eyes, smiling at him.

The happiness that is very evident in her eyes means the entire world to me. I know she loves Steve.

*****

Fifteen minutes into the movie and I'm already bored as hell.

I feel like all we ever do is watch movies.

As my eyes were drifting off to the floor, I was in another world, thinking about several things.

I'm practically daydreaming about a character right now and what would it be like to be in love with him.

But then suddenly my brain farted and I completely forgot about that and remembered that one time I was so excited to go to this concert but I ended up being sick as hell and didn't make it so I spent the next month crying about it and not going on Twitter.

I don't know why anyone would care but I felt the need to share that.

I suddenly made a gasping noise, "You guys! One time, I was going to this-" I began excitedly when almost everyone cut me off and asked me to shutup, because they're focusing on the movie.

I didn't say anything as I crossed my arms and pouted to myself.

Okay then.

Well. It's fine. Whatever.

Okay, that lowkey hurt my feelings, I was excited.

I then felt a tap on my shoulder.

I looked to my left to see Aaron smiling at me.

"What?" I whispered, afraid to interrupt their movie, again.

"Where were you going?" Aaron asked.

"Huh?" I said, not getting it.

"One time you were going to?" Aaron's voice trailed off, waiting for me to continue.

My heart leaped out of my chest as I grinned at Aaron. The fact that he even noticed.

"Really?" I giggled quietly.

"Yes." Aaron nodded his head giving me a small smile.

"Okay so.." I began the boring story.

Aaron was smiling through it all and looked so interested.

Once I was finished, I smiled and stopped moving around like I do whenever I'm talking about anything.

"By the way, Oreo." Aaron moved closer towards me and whispered.

"Hm?" I replied.

"You forgot your phone in the kitchen last night." Aaron smirked.

"Okay?"

Aaron lifted his brows at me just as realization hits me.

He knows I lied about it.

I'm an idiot. It's cool.

"Oh." I responded looking away.

"Yeah," Aaron chuckled, "oh." he mocked me.
