Marks POV

i woke up to Ellie pulled against me with her hands in my hair and mine around her small waist as she slept. God she's so cute when shes sleeping, and when shes awake, but defiantly when sh's sleeping. I tightened my grip around her waist and she stirred but fell back to sleep after moving her hands so her palms were on my chest and her head in the crook of my neck.

I realized that we were actually going to the X-Games in 2 days. Ellie was so good at snowboarding and i am so happy that i get to see her whilst i'm competing, because she'll be competing too. I am drawn out of my thoughts when Ellie shifts beside me.

"Good morning babe" She says in her adorable sleepy voice

"Good morning did you sleep ok?" I replied

"It was the best sleep i've had in ages" she replied smiling

"Only 2 days til the X-Games you know Sparky" she spoke again

" Yeah i really need to pack my stuff"

"You haven't even packed yet?" She said with wide eyes

"Should I have, I mean we have a whole day today before we have to get on the plane babe"

"You have got to be kidding me" she muttered whilst smiling

She was about to get up but I grabbed her and held her even tighter as I leaned into kiss her. She turned her cheek at the last minute and i got her cheek instead. She must have noticed my confusion because she simply said "haven't brushed my teeth yet Mark " and went to go get changed. I really think I love Ellie but whenever I bring up her family or how she got into snowboarding she instantly goes back into her shell. I wanna be able to help her. Why won't she let me in

ELLIES POV

When I left Marks house I was greeted by a rush of cold air as I made my way home. When I entered he house my dad was watching some TV and my brother was no where to be seen. "Hey dad" I said warily as he looked as if he hadn't even seen me come In

"Hello Eleanor" my dad said using my full name. I don't see why he hates me but hey I'm not complaining a bit of silent treatment was all I got for staying the night somewhere else. I got more punishment for making his damn coffee to strong.

I lay in bed texting Mark wondering weather or not to open up to him. I haven't opened up to anyone since my mom died and to be honest I didn't want to seem weak in front of him. I could trust him with my life but why couldn't I open up to him?
