Ella felt extremely exhausted all of the sudden. She just wanted to lay down and wake up and have this be some bad dream or something. She didn't want this to be real. The fourteen year old finally locked eyes with Harvey when he told her why he'd done what he did. She shook her head and tried really hard not to yell, knowing his mom was downstairs. "Don't you g-get it, Harvey?!" She said, her voice cracking a bit as her emotions took over. "I don't w-want to understand...I d-don't want to see h-her. I... I h-...Ihateher." And that was the worst part because Ella felt like an awful person for hating her. She couldn't tell anyone that because she wasn't the type that hated people and it bothered her so much that the one person she did hate was her own mother. It destroyed her to feel that way.

Ella didn't want Harvey to touch her right now. She didn't want to be near him and as he stepped closer, she took a step towards the door. She had to get out of here.


"T-this...this is different and you...you k-know it." Surprise or not, Ella's mom was off limits and Harvey knew it. The blonde had told him countless times how much this subject hurt her. They'd argued about why she'd gone and Ella got mad at him before for defending her. The fact that he was trying to justify it now just kind of made her feel like he hadn't listened to her at all. "Y-you promised...youpromisedme." So no, Ella didn't trust him right now. She'd told him things she couldn't tell anyone else and he'd broke her trust and it hurt. It hurt much worse than she thought it would.

Another step towards the door.

"H-Harvey I..." She couldn't believe what she was about to say and if she didn't get out of this house soon she was going to collapse. She couldn't though, she needed to hold it together for only a little while longer. "I think..." Wibble. "Ithinkweneedtobreakup."

And Ella took off the necklace Harvey had given to her, holding it out to her with a trembling hand. "P-please j-just take it."
