ELLA POV
As I was watching the twins walk out of their house with Leia and her arm around Tristan, the only thing that was going through my mind was that trap that Leia set up to get me raped. If I didn’t have that rush of adrenaline the way that I did, I know that he would have succeeded. It gave me the chills just to think about it.
And what was worse, he said that he went to our school so I was afraid that I was gonna see him tomorrow while I was there. It was terrifying actually.
But then I saw the parents following out and I realized that they all obviously came from the same social circle. I couldn’t compete with that. I didn’t have a chance in hell. Not a white trash girl like me. Some outsider from the wrong side of the tracks who hears voices.
Nathan was facing us and staring. He took a step in our direction but Wendy hooked her arm around mine and dragged me around the side of the house so I didn’t have to talk to them.
Wendy even looked like she was ready to kill them. She knew what Leia did and she was pissed that they were still being nice to her. But I don’t know if they can be blamed or their parents. I was sure that it was the parents that were trying to set one of the twins up with Leia. That’s what David and Darcy were talking about. It wasn’t even being kept a secret, that their parents were interfering like that. I couldn’t understand how their parents thought that sort of stuff was still socially acceptable.
Why am I still making excuses for them? She has her arm around Tristan and he’s not fighting her off. I shouldn’t be surprised. I was nothing but a novelty to them. Something new in town to play with.
We got around to the back of Wendy’s house and we kept walking where we ended up in the woods and we kept walking.
We didn’t have to walk too far before we came out the other side of the forest and there was a beautiful large lake sitting there with the moonlight reflecting off of it.
I didn’t know what to say when I first saw it. I just walked closer to it, taking it all in. It looked magical. It felt almost powerful with the moonlight shining down upon us.
Definitely not something that I would ever see in Seattle.
“Alright Ella. You know that you’re my best friend. I saved you today when you passed out and I brought you home.” Wendy said.
“Are there strings attached?” I asked, not surprised in the least.
“Not the kind of strings that you’re thinking of.” She said. And I looked at her confused. “I want to know how you truly feel about the twins.” She said.
“No, you don’t.” I said.
“Why not?” She asked. And I hesitated for a moment. Trying to find the right words that won’t make her think that I’m a complete idiot.
“Honestly, I don’t want to believe my true feelings to myself. But it doesn’t matter. Because I know the twins would never actually fall in love with me.” I said. I believed that I would never be good enough for the twins.
“But you obviously have.” She said. I put my hands back in my pockets because they were getting cold and we started walking along the side of the lake.
“Listen, I knew that I was never good enough to be with the twins. I’m not special enough for either of the twins to love me. But I can’t help but be attracted to them. No matter how much I try to stop. I wish I could stop, I want that more than anything but I just can’t.” I explained. Wendy just walked along beside me listening to me. Like there was nothing wrong with what I was saying. Nothing on her face made me think that she was judging me or critical of anything that I just said.
“Ella. You’re not the only one. In case you haven’t noticed at school, everyone is drawn to the twins. Including me. It’s just something that everyone has to deal with. They are never going to belong to the twins. The twins can never belong to anyone like them. But they’ll never be with someone like me. I just don’t want you to get your hopes up when it comes to them.” Wendy explained.
I felt the same way towards them both. And whenever I do bring it up to anyone, they always give me very vague answers about who are good enough for the twins.
