~The Boy Next Door~ Eli Moskowitz x female oc

Part 22

^ignore that Jacob doesn't have a shirt on, just imagine he's just biting his nails.

Today was moving day for Eli. We finished loading up the last of the boxes.

"Is this it?"-Eli asks- "I guess so.."-I say- "I'll see you tomorrow or in a couple days, okay?"-I say- "I don't wanna go"-Eli says- "I don't want you to go either."-I say- I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him multiple times.

I kissed him one final time. "I love you.. so much."-I say- "why are we acting like I'm moving out of the state?!"-Eli giggles- "I don't know!"-I say with a smile on my face- Eli smiled before getting in the car.

(Eli's POV)

We approached our new house, mom unlocked the door and i went inside to my room. We already looked the house a few times before.

I began picturing where I would put everything. Posters there, action figures there, comics there! There was endless possibilities! This isn't as bad as I thought!

I ran back outside and saw mom talking to our new neighbor, a petite blonde woman. They were laughing and smiling. I went over to them. "C-can I start bringing boxes to my room?"-I ask- "yes."-mom says- "you must be Eli!"-the woman says with a huge smile on her face-

I smiled softly and nodded as I began walking to the moving truck. "I'm sorry about him, he's shy.."-mom says- "it's completely fine, I understand!"-the woman says- "when you're done with those boxes come say hi, please!"-mom says with a desperate look on her face-

I nodded and carried the boxes to my room and back outside. I awkwardly stood next to mom. "Can I invite you in?"-the woman asks- "of course!"-mom says- we walked into this pristine house. "Me and Daniella are gonna talk for a second, you wait for a second, hun."-mom says-

Mom went into another room and started talking to her. I couldn't hear what she was y saying about I knew it was about me, I heard my name multiple times but nothing other than that. I anxiously say on the couch as I rubbed my thumbs together.

A few minutes later they came back into the living room. "Sweetie! Come meet our new neighbors!"-daniella yells- I groaned silently. "Mom.. I don't want to!"-I whisper- "this will be a good chance to make friends!"-mom says- footsteps came down the stairs.

No no no no no no! This can't be happening! This has to be a fucking dream!!!! No.

A girl came walking down the stairs.  My face drained of color, my nostrils flared, my heart raced. She came and sat down by her mom, probably thinking the exact same thing.

"This is my daughter, Yasmine!"-daniella says- She put on a fake smile and shook our hands, sneakily wiping her hand on her pants after shaking my hand. "Yasmine, this is Eli! Eli, this is Yasmine!"-daniella says-

Yeah, I know. We know each other. Not in the way you would expect!! Your daughter is men!

"Hello!"-mom says- I tried to smile but it wouldn't come out. Mom and Daniella talked while me and Yasmine stared at each other.

After like 10 minutes(the longest 10 minutes of my life), we finally left.

I hate this already. I walked quickly into the house where some of our furniture was put s few days ago. I sat down and began biting my nails. "I know you don't like meeting new people! Look how you and Y/n turned out, yall are best friends and in a relationship! Meeting new people can be a good thing! I know it's hard for you to move away from your girlfriend and farther away from Demetri! I know you love them! Just please give this a chance,hun."-mom says-

I shook my head. "It's not just that!"-I say- "what's bothering you?"-Mom asks- I shook my head again. Mom sat down next to me. "What is it? Tell me.. please?"-mom says- "it's nothing."-I say- "somethings clearly bothering you, my love."-mom says-

"There's a lot!!!"-I yell- "talk to me."-mom says- "For starters, I get into a good relationship with a girl and then we move across the city!"-I say- "Eli.."-mom says- "no! Shut up! Let me talk!"-I yell-

"The best part is that our neighbors daughter is my bully!!!"-I yell- "oh.. Eli, I didn't know! Do you want me to say something to daniella?!"-mom asks-

"Just listen to me mom!"-I say- mom nods, she looks sad but scared. That's the least of my concerns right now.

"her and her gang of friends have been calling me names and telling me things! Over the years it's gotten worse! Now they're telling me to kill myself! That I'm disgusting! That I'm a freak! That I'm a loser! That I'm worthless! That everyone hates me! That it would be better if I didn't go to this school! That if they were me they would've killed themselves already!"-I yell-

"And-and that I'm a retard! One time a guy even grabbed me by my face and was laughing at me and making fun of me! I've been thinking about killing myself! I'm tired of getting bullied! It's probably gonna get 1000x worse now that my biggest bully lives next door! I've cried myself to sleep because of her!"-I yell-

"Don't you get it? I'm NOTHING! I'm the school joke! A failure! You don't know what it's like to be worthless where nothing you do matters! I feel that way everyday of my life! Every damn day!"-I yell-

"The only person who EVER. EVER fucking acknowledged my feelings and made me feel like I am someone was Y/n! She puts up with me crying all the time! She comforted me! She made me feel like I was a person not a freak! And now I'll barely be able to see her!"-I yell-

Tears fell down moms cheek and they steamed down mine like mini water falls.

"Eli! Why did you never tell me this! Why did you never tell me who was bullying you! You didn't tell anybody?! Why did Y/n never tell me?"-mom yells-"maybe because I was scared of how you were going to react!"-I yell-

"How long has this been happening?!"-mom asks- "for years! Since 6TH grade! It's only gotten worse!"-i yell- "now that you tell me the whole story I feel like throwing up!"-mom says- "why did you never tell me other than that ONE time?!"-mom asks- "because I didn't want you to worry!"-I say-

"Eli I'm gonna have to say something to Daniella!"-mom says- I didn't say anything.
