Because of you

28. "Ellie please hear me out."

Time Skip: 2 weeks

Current date: August 17th

14 days since Adeline and Stephen have talked

Adeline's POV

So it's been a few weeks since Ellie flew in and helped me with my situation. We both talked and decided that she should move in with me. I can't have her be so far away from me all the time, I need her forever and always. She's my platonic soulmate. I don't know what I'd do without her. I've seen the boys a lot since Ellie brought them over. They were all so worried about me. I know it's my fault because I didn't see them at all. I just couldn't bring myself to.

Ellie went back to Tennessee for a few days to get her stuff packed up to ship it all here. A few of her boxes have already arrived and I had Matt come over to help me move them. Ellie should be tomorrow. I had a spare room in my house because I always knew eventually that Ellie would move in with me. I just didn't think I'd be this soon.

I'm glad that she's moving in with me though. We'll be able to hang out a lot more and I think it'll be better for the both of us. Ellie has helped me tremendously. I started going back to the studio and talking to my team about my tour. I've been going out more with Ellie and the boys and I'm honestly so much happier now. I have forgotten about what happened with Stephen now. It's irrelevant and I honestly don't care anymore about it.

Part of me so badly wants to know why he did it. I want closure but I know I'll never get it.

Ellie's POV

I'm currently in Tennessee packing up my remaining belongings. Addie and I talked about me moving in and we both agreed that we would be the best for the both of us. I have already talked to my landlord who owns my apartment to let him know that I'm leaving. Fortunately he was able to let me leave the lease.

I still feel so bad for Addie. She didn't deserve what happened to her. Especially but someone that she thought would never hurt her. It fucking sucks. I know she blocked him but it makes me mad that he hasn't tried to reach out to her at all. It's infuriating, it truly is. I can't even imagine how that must feel. They had amazing chemistry and everyone saw it on stage. What the hell happened between then and the day he asked her on a date. He's lucky I haven't reached out to him yet.

I continue packing up my stuff and suddenly I feel my phone buzz. I assume that it's Matt but I pull out my phone anyway and check.

Holy fucking shit. It's from Instagram.

I got a DM from Stephen himself.

What the actual fuck just happened? I don't even know what to say. Stephen continued to text me and tell me that he's coming back to LA tomorrow and he wants to make it up to Addie. I seriously doubt that she'll want to do it but I'll hear him out. He begins to tell me this plan.

He tells me that he feels so incredibly awful about how he handled the situation with Addie and that me and her have every right to be upset with him. He says that he has a plan to go to a field of daisies and sing "Mountain Peaks" to her and explain the entire situation.

I told him that I think it's a great idea and asked how can I help. He asked that all he needs me to do is to try and convince Addie to come to the field and he'll handle the rest. I have no clue how I'll do this but I'm gonna try my hardest. I want them to be together so bad and I know he fucked up but I have faith in him.

I believe that he'll be able to talk to her and fix everything. He needs to do most of it on his own. I agreed to my part and nothing more than that. I need to text Matt and tell him everything that had just happened.

Matt feels the same way I do. He understands that Stephen is trying to fix his mistakes and we're both happy about it.
