How to Heal a Broken Heart (Explicit Content)

Leave or Stay (Elle)

Here I was, in this beautiful restaurant, in the middle of Wynter and Elleah arguing. They haven't been cool with each other since Ethan got shot. Wynter blamed Elleah for getting him shot and being in a coma. My dumb ass thought it would be a good idea if they just hashed things out but their whole conversation has went left. What was I thinking? I just sat there and watch them talk over one another.

" Elleah, I just don't understand why you called Ethan to Shanell's house in the first place and why did you even go over there? Why didn't you let the police handle Levi, now you got my brother shot, damn near dying! You better pray he wakes up and make it through this!" Wynter yelled.

" Wynter don't threaten me! I went over there because I made a promise to that little boy and I wanted Ethan to be there with me! I didn't want to be alone."
Elleah explained to her.

" Out of all people, why Ethan, Elleah? You don't even like him like that!"

" No, you're right. I don't like him Wynter, I'm actually in love with Ethan."

I hurry up and interrupted.
" Look y'all, here comes our food."
I tried to change the subject because they were beginning to cause a scene.

" Elle, fuck that food! But back to you Elleah. What do you mean, you're in love with him?"

" Ethan and I have been together for a while now. I didn't want to tell you because I didn't know how you would feel about us being together. Wynter, your brother is everything! He's my world Wynter. I never meant for him to get shot! I just wanted to protect Damari and I didn't think anything would happen! I feel stupid, ok! And yes I pray that he wakes up and live through this! I love that man more than life itself. I will sacrifice everything for Ethan and don't you think I blame myself for what happen to him! Dammit Wynter! You know I wouldn't get Ethan hurt intentionally!" Elleah screamed at Wynter as the waiter walked up to us with our food. As the waiter handed us our plates, Wynter hopped up from the table.

" All of a sudden I'm not so hungry any more." Wynter told us while she grabbed her purse. " Elle I'll see you later. Excuse me sir."
Wynter  accidentally bumped into the waiter and left out the restaurant without saying anything else to Elleah.

" See Elle, that's why I didn't want to tell her that Ethan and I are together. It seems like she would be cool with it, considering I hooked her and Jahmil up. But nooooo, she has to cop a funky attitude with me. Wynter have to realize Ethan is a grown man now, he's not little Bubba anymore."

" Yeah, you know how Wynter is. Elleah she'll come around. She's just taking it hard because Ethan has been in that coma for two weeks now. Sis, you just have to keep being there for Ethan and her. That's your best friend regardless."

" Yeah, I know but she needs to realize I'm hurt too Elle. I never had a man that loves me like Ethan does. It's the type of love you wish for." Elleah cooed as she grabbed my hands.

" Elle, I pray Ethan comes out that coma and they find Damari. It's just to much on me right now. And Wynter being mad at me is like adding more fluid to the flame. I don't know how much more I can take. I'm about to lose my mind Elle."
Elleah weeped to me.

I squeeze her hand tight.
" Sis, you just have to keep on pushing, believe all things are possible through Christ. Have you talked to God lately Elleah?"

" Elle, don't start but you know I do pray sometimes."

" When you pray, do you believe in his powers?"

Elleah looked at me as if she was thinking about it.
" Elle, honestly I just pray and hope for the best. Sometimes I feel like there isn't a God because why would he put people through so much misery? I just been going by what mama told us when we were little and what we were taught in church."
