Wrong Number//E.D.

{16}

( Quick note: This story will get a bit dirtier, but it wouldn't be right to just throw it in if you know what I mean. I want it to come naturally to the characters, but just letting you know it will get dirtier soon.) 

Elley's POV

Yesterday, we revealed to the fandom that Ethan and I are dating, and the result was very mixed. Ethan only saw positive comments, but I looked at the negative ones. There were way more than I expected. 

I even saw an Instagram account dissing me and making up all these lies about me. I commented and said "None of this is true ;)" and the person running the account instantly started deleting the rumors. 

I knew that they were just trying to mess with me, but it wouldn't work. 

I would never be able to tell Ethan about this stuff because he would be protective and probably say things he didn't mean. 

He wouldn't be rude to his fans because he loves them as much as he loves me, but he would say something, and that could upset some fans. 

I decided I needed to get my mind off all of this, so I went to the only place I knew I could go where no one would find me. I haven't been there in a while, but only Veronica and I knew where it was. 

It was about a 10 minute bike ride from my house, so I got some snacks, water bottles, a bathing suit and a towel. 

I started on my way to my favorite place in the entire world. 

Ethan's POV

I just woke up and I tried calling Elley but she just denied my calls. I even texted her and she didn't answer. 

I'm very scared right now and I don't know what to do. 

I want to call her mom and ask if she knows, but I know Elley would get mad.

I don't know where she is and it's really scaring me. She would text me if she was home or somewhere, right?

I'm just going to ask Gray if he knows. 

I walked from my room to the living room where him and Veronica were playing Mario kart. 

"Gray? Have you talked to Elley at all today??" My voice was shaking but I couldn't help it. I was worried. 

"No," he paused the game and looked at me, "What's wrong?" 

"I don't know. I-I thought we were good yesterday, but she hasn't texted me or called me or anything she would usually do!!" My voice was getting shakier by the minute.

"Are you sure she's not asleep??" Veronica asked.

"She's not, she was on snapchat 1 hour ago." I wanted Elley, I wanted to hug her and kiss her. I was probably overreacting but I just want her to be safe.

"I know where she is." Veronica got up and started walking towards the door, grabbing her keys off the kitchen counter on the way out, "You coming?" 

I quickly got on some shorts and a baggy shirt and followed Veronica to her car. She explained where we were going, on the way. She also told us to not follow her until she comes back and tells us to. 

Apparently this is Elley's and Veronica's "thinking spot." Veronica said that when either of them had something they needed to get away from, they would come here. I just didn't know what Elley wanted to get away from.

After a short drive, we were there. She parked her car on a grass spot and started walking.

I didn't see her for a long time and then she came out running and crying with blood all over her hands. I instantly got out and started running to her. 

"Whats wrong!?" I yelled. 

"Call 911!! Elley is bleeding and I don't know what to do!!" She was in full tears right now. 

Grayson got out as well and hugged Veronica and told her Elley would be okay. 

I called the police and told them to come fast.

I hung up and threw my phone back in the car, I ran to Veronica and told her to show me where Elley was. 

I followed her into this jungle like place, with a waterfall. The waterfall was pretty big and there were palm trees and flowers. 

Then I looked to my left and saw my beautiful girlfriend, lying on the ground, covered in blood not moving. 

I sprinted as fast as I could to her. 

I started crying uncontrollably. 

She had a bullet in her shoulder that was gushing blood. 

I didn't know what to do, so I took off my shirt and tightly wrapped it around her shoulder. She was still breathing. 

I heard sirens coming closer so I picked up my whole world and brought her outside the jungle area. 

They police people quickly ran over to me and took her right from me. I wanted to get in the ambulance with her but they wouldn't let me. 

I was so mad. I wanted to punch something or kick it or something. 

Grayson held my arms back from punching anything. Veronica came over holding about 15 rocks. She handed them to me and told me to throw them as far as I could. 

I did just as she said, but after the 7th rock I broke down. I fell to the ground crying. I just wanted to crawl up in a corner. I just wanted Elley. 

Gray and Veronica got in the car and waited for me to come with them. 

So many things were running through me head.

Why would she run away like that? 

Am I not a good boyfriend?

This is all my fault. This whole mess is my fault, isn't it? I should have been with her. 

After 5 minutes, I knew I had to get in the car and go to the hospital, so I got up from my corner of sorrow, and got into Veronica's car. 

We were there in a matter of minutes. I walked through the emergency room doors and asked for Elley Connor and she told me to go to room B74  and I did as I was told. 

Veronica and Grayson followed me even though I didn't know where I was going either. This hospital was huge and way too confusing. I asked about a million nurses where it was and I finally got there after about 30 minutes of searching. 

Once we got there, we saw her mom was already here. I haven't ever seen her dad and I thought if something like this happened he would be here, but I guess not. 

No one said anything for an hour, until the doctor came out...
