Silence…….
” Ellie ?” I stood up and she was sta nding there just staring at me.
“ Ellie what’s wrong? Hey….can you tell me what is wrong sweetheart?” I squatted down so I could lo ok in her face. She seemed so lost…what I would not do to crawl in that brain and figure shit out for her.
“I….I don’t know what is wrong Gunner!!I just had this panic come over me! What if I can’t do this? What if I fail at this too? I me an…. I’ m soooo not sure that I’ m ready to go to college, my mother keeps telling me….” Ellie turned and lo ok ed away the m oment she mentioned her mother.
I placed my hands on her shoulders and turned her around to lo ok at me. Oh Jesus H. Christ she was crying. My heart just to ok a nose dive right into my stomach. I reached up and wiped away the tears that were streaming down her beautiful face. She gave me a weak smile.
“Oh god I’m so sorry. You must thing I’m a nut case….I’ m so sorry Gunner.” Then she just lost it. The sobs where taking over her whole body. I pulled her close to me and ran my hand through her soft hair.
She smelt like Daisies again. I felt my dick getting hard just from having her up against my body.
H oly fuck… …. what am I suppose to be thinking about again?
DOGS !….. Golden retrievers, L abs….yellow, black or brown? Big dog or little dog , German Shorthair Pointer ??
“ Ellie it’ s going to be okay sweetheart I promise you it will be okay . I know this is a scary time but you are smart and you can do anything you put your mind to. Please d on’t let something your mother tells you to ever let you doubt yoursel f . I know what it feels like to have someone tell you that all you will ever do is fail.” I said as I to ok a deep breath and buried my n ose in her hair. My god…. daisies ….all I c ould smell where daisies .
Ellie lo ok ed up at me confused. “W hat do you mean you know what it feels like to have someone tell you all you will do is fail? Gunner you are amazi ng! The most amazing person I’ ve ever met. I can’t….I can’t even believe anyone would think that about you.”
I just laughed and gave her shoulders a squeeze. “Come on Ells, let’s get this show on the road….we have a locker to clean ou t and a coffee shop to hit up!”
I reached down and grabbed a couple plastic grocery bags. Ellie walked back into Jeff’s room and came out carrying her overnight bag and her backpack.
“Here, let’s switch.” I said as I to ok her bags from her and gave her the plastic bags.
“I got off pretty easy on this exchange!” Ellie said with a light laugh. Thank god…she was no longer upset. Gesh , how I would like to just knock some sense into that mother of hers , but from experience I knew it would do no good.
We headed out the door and made our way to my truck. I’m not sure why I was so excited to see her sitti ng next to me in my truck. I’ve had plenty of girls in my truck in the last three years but no girl was or would ever be like Ellie .
CHAPTER ELEVEN
ELLIE ……….
The moment his fingers touched my face as he wipe d away my tears I felt the electricity zip through my whole body. His eyes showed so much worry in them that they made my stomach twist in knots. I know he is just concerned because I’ m his best friend’s sister but…..
No…I couldn’ t let myself think that way. Then he dropped the bomb shell on me! Who was it he was talking about? Who said Gunner would fail? I just could not believe it…I mean. He was super smart from what Jefferson told me, smarter than Jefferson he said. He was an awesome football player. I had seen him play plenty of time s when Ari and I went to see Je fferson play. He was super fucking handsome. Yeah…no way this guy would ever w ant to be with someone like me.
We headed out the door and started towards Gunner’s truck. He had a huge smile on his face which caused me to smile. What wa s he so happy about? OHHH that’ s
