The boy I broke up with

23

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

Ellie Brown

This morning I slept longer than I should have. But I only had to go to the university in the afternoon, so I could do it and I honestly didn't feel like getting out of bed. My fights with Charles took a terrible toll on me mentally and physically, and I knew that if I left the safety of my room I would fight with the boy again. Finally, around 9 o'clock, I decided that I had to go to the kitchen. I walked out the door in my pajamas and to my surprise there was complete silence in the apartment. Charles was nowhere to be found. I went to the kitchen and pressed the button on the coffee maker, made myself a wonderful coffee, and then looked into the fridge. There was almost nothing in it, and that meant I would have to go shopping. I found 1 avocado and eggs, so I had to make something out of it. After the eggs were fried, I took my phone and wrote a message to the love of my life

Ellie: Hi, where are you?

I didn't get an answer right away, in fact, by the time I drank my coffee, about 20 minutes had passed and only then did the boy answer

Charles: I have a few things to attend to. But I'll be home soon.

I was at least happy that he wrote back normally, because I was expecting something good. But then there was also the nervousness because I knew we would fight again. As always.

So I ate my breakfast, while scrolling through the morning news. Luckily, I wasn't on any of them. Then, when I finished the last bite, the door opened. Charles was standing in front of me in his cap, silver jacket and a gray sweatshirt. His hair was a mess after he took off his hat, and it involuntarily turned me on. My heart started beating a thousand times.

- What did you eat for breakfast? -  he came to the table, then put his hand on my shoulder and planted a huge kiss on my lips.

- You're in a good mood -  I noticed

- Yes, I bought a house -  he said before I froze

- Whaat? - I asked back as if I didn't understand his previous statement

- Yes, you heard that right. I bought a house near the beach - he said and went around the table and sat down at the table

- Why?

- I'll leave you this apartment to live out your stupid plan, that is, to live without me, then I'll wait for you to move in with me and we'll have a baby - said Charles

- I don't have a stupid plan!

- Ellie! This can't go on like this! You haven't even slept with me in days

- Why should I go over to you? I'm tired of being afraid of you!

- Are you afraid of me? Why? - and then Charles's face completely changed. It will be more serious and I saw that now I have deeply hurt him.

- Because you are constantly creating tension -  I sighed

- Why? You do not? I just bought us a house together. You're still arguing with me about this! I don't understand why you are so hostile to me, even though I give you everything and you know that -  Charles sighed

- I think we should leave it at that - I stood up and took my plate to the sink

- And I think you're going to leave me again - he said as if I had indicated this to him with any of my words

- I won't, I'll never leave you again - I said as I washed my plate. I then looked back at the table where Charles was sitting. He started fiddling with his phone and then the bracelet on his hand and his skin was already red. I immediately went to him and leaned towards him

- What are you doing? - I grabbed his hand to stop him

- I was just poking at my bracelet -  he said, but he seemed upset that I saw what he was doing

- You don't hurt yourself, do you? -  I asked uncertainly

- Ellie Brown, you're getting a lot of your present day self!

- Do you see a psychologist?

- Please finish it! Please don't start again - he grumbled

- Charles, I need to know if you're hurting yourself -  I said sullenly

- Everything was fine until you showed up again! - he said the words nervously and I knew that he was making a huge wound in my heart. I knew that my appearance turned his life upside down, but I didn't think that Charles would fall so low because of me. It's like I'm the poison for him. Charles stood up and stormed out of the apartment. And I immediately reached for my phone and started dialing Pierre's phone number

Charles Leclerc

I went to Lando's little apartment as I had nowhere else to escape. I was so ashamed of myself for saying such stupid things to Ellie. It was late at night when I got back to the apartment. When I entered the door, Ellie was sitting in the living room and immediately raised her head when she noticed my arrival

- Can we talk? - she asked, and I nodded silently. I took off my shoes and went to the living room and sat down next to Ellie and she took my hand. So she is  not mad at me anymore?

- Why didn't you tell me you had mental problems? - she asked, and I frowned

- How do you know this?

- Pierre told me

- That stupid ... - I grumbled

- You know I would have handled everything differently if I had known... - she began

- I am fine!

- Give me the bracelet! -said the girl, when I rolled my eyes and took it off and put it in her hand. Ellie put the bracelet on and it fit well

- Don't you think I'm not a good influence on you? I mean emotionally? - Ellie asked before I knew she wanted to break up

- No, I only want you, to live with you and I closed the topic here! -  I stood up as I felt that if I didn't do this Ellie would end our relationship within minutes

Dear reader,

This part wasn't  inspired by Ginny and Georgia, I know that there is a similar scene, but I don't follow the series, so I don't know.

First of all, I feel like we're nearing the end of this story. Actually, that's not how I imagine Charles Leclerc. In other words, I never thought that he would be able to harm himself, since everyone knows him for his mental health, since he is such a strong boy mentally. I love Charles' tenacity and know he can do anything!!
By the way, mental health is a very important topic these days, so I think it's important to write/talk about it.
If anyone has any problems or just wants to talk, write to me!
Have a great day!
