The Music in My Heart 2

Chapter 19

Eleanora's pov

I was trying to wash my face from tears but my eyes are so bloodshot, there's no point anymore.

How could she?...

"Hey, shh shh shh," Michelle rushes in and pulls me into a hug.

I couldn't help but break down even more.

"I don't understand. We try and protect her, provide as much peace and stability during her healing. Here she is guns blazing, raising hell and an entirely different person!" I buried my face into her shoulders.

"Im sure she meant well by it. She's probably just fed up of feeling hopeless all the time," Michelle tried to explain Carter's actions but it doesn't make sense.

"She's never acted like that before- I mean never. She's kind, sweet and always sees the best in people. She barges in there practically shaking the devil's hand," I couldn't help but obsess over the events.

Michelle's phone went off and she quickly checked it.

"Bishop is sending us home for the day on full pay. Says to take it easy, we have a lot to prepare for.. do you want a ride home?" Michelle's hand was rubbing my back in full circles.

"N-no. I'm just upset is all," I wiped my nose with the sleeve of my sweater.

"Ohhhhh youuuuu," Michelle got up to hand me some paper towels and rush back to comfort me.

"Being upset is all it takes for a driver to not be in the right mind. How about I drop you off at home and then in the morning we comeback to get your car and we go out for breakfast," she tried to cheer me up and I softly laughed at her attempt.

If I'm not cautious, she could be pulling into my driveway with the entire Cammery's at my doorstep.. but in all fairness with today's events..

"No to the ride. Yes to the breakfast," I started pulling myself together.

"You're an amazing woman, I hope you know that," she handed me some extra tissues.

"You're an amazing friend," I pulled her in for a tight hug and my voice cracked again.

"If you start crying again, I won't hug you back," she joked and I started laughing at her fucked up tactic.

~~~

Just as I fucking expected.

The whole family is here..

Everyone was waiting at my door step with their heads completely lost, confused and scrambled- me fucking too.

"Before anything else- Carter a word?" I unlocked my door.

"I- yes," she jumped to her feet.

This hurts so much- just why?

I tossed my keys, my bag and kicked off my heels and threw my scarf onto the ground not caring where it handed.

I'll get it when I feel like it; right now...

I'm upset.

"I'm sorry for barging-

"HOW...

....COULD....

....YOU?!" I screamed at the top of my lungs not caring if her parents were standing outside on my patio.

"Help me understand!" I was so confused.

"You tell me last night that we will see this through- YOU JUST PUT EVERYTHING UP FOR GRABS AND EVERYTHING AT RISK," I was beyond present.

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT WERE YOU THINKING CARTER," tears started pouring out of my eyes.
