A Fairytale (Part Five)

Oh.
My.
GOD!!!!!!

NO!!!!!!!! This was NOT happening!!! It wasn't! It wasn't! It wasn't!! Shane Davis did NOT just walk outside. He did NOT just say my name. And he did NOT just sound like he was happy I was here. Naturally, to prove my point, I pinched myself.

"Ow!"

"Ellie?" He asked again, this time sounding worried.

Great, now I knew he was real and I had just humiliated myself in front of him.

"Oh. Hey Shane."

"What's wrong? Why aren't you inside?"

"Just needed some fresh air, I guess. Hey listen, I am so sorry about that message, I swear it wasn't me."

I was speaking with my head still in my hands, but now I was facing him, seeing as he had just sat down right next to me!!!!!!! The Internal Me was practically dying with delight. The Common Sense Me was still thinking that this was a dream. The Smart Me was screaming at me to wipe the mascara trails off of my cheeks. I ignored them all, and just focused on Shane and how close we were sitting.

"Ha-ha, don't worry about. Me and my friends thought it was hilarious. And are you sure that you're fine?"

Well thank God for tiny miracles. Now Jody was looking at a glare and a pout instead of the silent treatment when she sobered up.

"Yes." But my voice squeaked at the end, forcing the tears out again. Shane obviously noticed.

"Ellie? You're crying." 

Thank you Captain Obvious. I put my head back inside my arms, while the tears started flowing freely. Miles carefully put his hands around me.

OH.

MY.

FREAKING.

GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shane Davis was HUGGING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We sat there for I don't know how long, me trying to control my tears, and him with his muscular arms around me, comforting. I didn't want it to end, and I'm pretty sure he didn't either because even when I stopped crying he continued hugging me. Too bad that it all was about to end. Whoosh went the door. Shane straightened up before whoever it was could tell it was him. Then somebody called his name.

"Shane!!! Ha-ha Shane baby where have you been?? I have a surprise for you!!"

Oh my good God. It was a very drunk Kendra. Not only was Kendra ruining my perfect moment, but she was confirming the rumors. Her and Shane were dating, obviously. He walked forward to meet her, leaving me alone at the edge of the porch, crying again. Well I wasn't going to stand here and take this. God I was so stupid! Thinking that Shane Davis actually wanted ME. Stupid, ugly, unwanted me. As Kendra collapsed against Shane’s' chest, I ran, almost blinded by the tears, to the door. Desperate to get back inside, find Jody or David... or even Nina, and leave.

"Ellie!!!" I heard him call out, "ELLIE!!!!!!"

He was running after me but I had a substantial lead. I found Nina, drunk and tangled up in the arms of a senior boy that I believed was named Chris. I yanked on her arm.

"Oh Elizabeth sweetie!!!" She giggled, "Come to join the party have you? Well Chris has enough for two!" She collapsed into a fit of laughter while I pulled her into a standing position and leaned her against my shoulder. She was too wasted to even try to escape, she just let me support her as I walked out to the car. Chris protested until one of Kenrda’s crones, Arbela, walked up to him, and began kissing him with as much passion as Nina had. Boy, these senior boys sure got around. I plopped Nina down in the car.

"Nina," my voice was honey sweet, "can you please give Elizabeth the keys?"

Nina looked doubtful, but I was a pro at this.

"Nina, we're going to go visit Chris, but Elizabeth needs the keys to get the car started."

Nina's face automatically became trusting. She dug the keys out of her pocket, and then proceeded to fall asleep. I drove to her mansion, what was it with our parents and their big houses? I carefully parked the car in her garage, punched in the security code, then lugged Sleeping Beauty up the stairs and into her room. Then I hauled her into her bathroom, put a pillow, a blanket, and a huge jug of water beside her. Then I set up the air mattress. It was going to be a very long night.

I didn't sleep at all. Even though I had made her a bed in the bathroom, Nina kept trying to climb into her bed. I knew she would be in huge trouble if she did because her parents would never forgive her for puking everywhere. Every half an hour or so I had to drag her back in the bathroom. Plus, Shane wouldn't leave me alone. After the fifth call and tenth text I turned my phone on silent. That didn't help. Somehow he had gotten Nina's cell number too. He tried texting me from there. How did he know I was with her?? I turned her phone off. Then he tried Nina's home phone. That was crossing the line.

"Shane what the hell do you want?" I asked, answering the phone.

"Ellie please just hear me out!" Shane said, he sounded sorry, but that was the past now.

"Sorry Kemp but I have to go take care of Nina. And Jody and David are coming over so I don’t need this crap from you."

"But...But..."

"Shane if you want to play games with someone go call Kendra. I'm sure she'd just love to hear your voice."

I slammed the phone down with so much force that Nina yelled at me. I wanted to yell right back, but she was the one with the hangover, not me. Therefore she did have a point about loud noises. However, it wasn't my fault that Shane had not only broken my heart, but he was now being a jackass. What the hell was his problem anyways? Did he think it was fun to toy with girls like this? God what a masochist! Well I could forget about him. I would forget about him! All I needed was time. Time and perhaps a new boy to obsess over. Or just a new image. Maybe Jody would help me. I did have a credit card after all. And this was an emergency. Ugh! Why did Shane have to ruin my life anyways?!? I was perfectly fine just admiring him from afar but then he had to go and be all nice by saving me from The Wrath Of Bailey and then hugging/comforting me at the party. Seriously what was wrong with this boy? Dimmit. He's calling again.
