"I'm so tired from yesterday and today,I went back home to Rosewood and then I left the next day. Tell me if i'm stupid for doing that. But now, I'm back here in New York. Where I belong and don't get me started on what happened from halloween, but let's just say for a hint , it involved the police and stealing a dress. No, I did not get aressted, but me and my friends got out of it luckily before getting sent to jail. And I know you're thinking, what the hell is wrong with you Elle, you're crazy!! I know. I am crazy, but not as crazy for thanksgiving this year. I'm finally gonna watch the big thanksgiving parade, front row at FARELLE. I got a secret key to someone's old office in FARELLE on the fourth floor and i'm gonna watch with Jacob, Marybella an Rikki. But don't tell anyone. I hope that all of you have a great thankgiving this year and I hope that all my ElleWooders are good this year, because Christmas is just around the corner. Anyways, gotta go and see ya next time." - @SummerElleW_86

 

 

It felt to be back in New York again. 

 

This is my home and my forever home in my life.

 

But mom understood why I left Rosewood.

 

 

So I shouldn't feel so bad.

 

 

After breakfast, Jacob helped me take down decorations fromf halloween and put up ones for thanksgiving.

 

I can't believe how fast thanksgiving is coming up, it seemed like just yesterday it was halloween.

 

 

In a matter of days, everyone will be all dolled up for thanksgiving.

 

I quickly got dressed afterwards taking down the decorations and went back downstairs.

 

 

"Okay Jacob, i'm gonna go and give the extra thanksgiving decorations to Marybella." I said, going down the stairs.

 

"Why are you giving them to her?" he asked.

 

 

"Because, she's my best friend and I give her everything. And also, i want her to be able to return my things so i can have an excuse to come to her house." i said.

 

 

"Whatever." Jacob said, biting into the sandwitch he made.

 

"I'm going now." I said.

 

 

I head to the fridge, smacking Jacob upside the head.

 

"And i'm taking these chocolate covered biscotti your mom shipped to our house this morning." I said.

 

I took the whole bucket and walked to the door.

 

 

"Hey!?" Jacob yelled, behind me.

 

"What?" I asked.

 

"Don't forget to save me some." he said smiling, and chewing his food.

 

 

"And close your mouth, it's rude to smile with food in your mouth." I said, opening the door and steping outside.

 

 

I put the box full of decor in the passenger seat. 

 

I got in and started up the car, driving from the suburbs into Manhattan.

 

 

When I arrived at Marybella's house, I put the car into park and took out the decorations.

 

"Hellooo! It's the world!" I yelled, after getting out.

 

 

I hummed, walking to Marybella's door.

 

I rang the doorbell and Steve answered it.

 

 

"Oh, hello Elle, nice to see you again."

 

"Yeah, nice to see you again Steve." I said coming in.

 

 

"So where's Marybella? I have the thanksgiving decorations here." I say.

 

"Why are you here again?" Steve asked, closing the front door behind me.

 

"Well a while back me and Marybella made a pact, in fact a dare. I give her my leftover decorations from every holiday, if I asked out a guy in a bar and didn't succeed. I lost, because I claimed that I was with Jacob. And now she has my decorations." I say.

 

 

Steve chuckels. "I taught Bella well, just like her old dad, when I used to win gambles."

 

We both laughed for a moment, before he said something else.

 

 

"Oh, Marybella is up in her room, go ahead." he replied.

 

"Thank you." I say.

 

 

I went up the stairs, to Bella's room.

 

I didn't want to barge in, so I listened closely at the door, to hear if she awake or not.

 

 

I overheard her talking with Mark. I listened carefully.

 

I peaked through the door crack. Watching Marybella laugh, then letting myself in.

  

"Uh, i'm sorry please continue your little cuddle party. But we've got decor to do." 

 

I barged in.

 

 

Marybella's face lit up when she saw me. And there was no response from Mark.

 

Clearly I interuppted something.

 

I stepped out of the room, closing the door behind me.

 

 

Pretty soon Mark got up and went into the bathroom.

 

 

I walked into the bedroom again and saw Marybella strechingm from getting up.

 

"So how's my cupcake?" I said looking at Marybella.

 

"I'm doing fine, Elle, and thanks for barging in on us. So rude!" she replied.

 

"Hey, you told me to come by your house with the decorations whenever, you didn't say I couldn't bother you anytime when giving you the decor." I say.

 

 

I smiled, as Marybella got dressed in her closet and came out looking nicer than before.

 

"Alright, let's head to the kitchen to unbox the decor." she said, following behind me.

 

 

When I sat down, her eyes widened on me.

 

"Hey are those chocolate covered biscotti snacks your holding?" she asked.

 

"Yeah." i said, smiling, eating one.

 

"Oh my god, I love those, I remember back in Russia my mom would have an old friend of her's drop of some biscotti for me every year, when November came around. Can I have some?" she said.

 

 

"Yeah go ahead." I said.

 

She took 2 and started eating away.

 

"Okay so, we need to take down the halloween decor, then put up the thankgiving ones." I said.

 

 

Before it reached noon, she had alread had all the decorations up.

 

"Great job Marybella, you did it by yourself." I said, stuffing a sugar cookie in my mouth.

 

 

"Yeah. Thanks for you help Elle, even though you watched me do it myself." Bella said smiling and laughing.

 

"You're welcome." I said back. 

 

 

I went back home and spent the weekend with Jacob.

 

The weeks passed and before I knew it, thanksgiving had arrived.

 

 --

 

Sara's P.O.V

 

 

"Hello, again it's been a while since we talked." I said over the microphone.

 

"I know and you've been off work for too long, it's almost December. And we need to get back to work before spring comes." he says back.

 

"Yeah, I know. But i've been distracted lately, so give me a break." I said back.

 

"This is not the time, to give you a break. I would prefer you not be distracted and get back on Elle. We need to finish the job and investigation." he says loudly.

 

"Fine, whatever you say. But just so you know, this is my life. Toture all you want, but don't toture my fun."

 

"Sara. I suggest you keep your voice down. if you don't want to get in trouble or get fired. for not working on this case. So shut your mouth and do your job." he says.

 

 

"Alright, i'll get back to work. But at least stop interuppting me when i'm talking, remember i'm the one you're using for this case your investigation."

 

 

The chat ended and I look through a folder filled with info for the investigations.

 

I didn't want to do this. But I desperately need the money and I need the job.

 

 

I never wanted to hurt Kyle. But i'm gonna have to, sometime or later.

 

This case may be involved with my life, but i'll try to live it as normal as possible.

 

 

I sat back, finally resting my hands.

 

I couldn't calm down. So I got dressed and went out.

 

 

Luckily, I sprained my ankle last month. Now, especially this time for the investigation, I can run pretty well again.

 

I ran all the way to the FARELLE parking lot and saw Christina in the alley.

 

 

"Catching your breath huh? Well do that later, when you fight for your life." she said smiling.

 

She looked down at me deviously. "Well come on, do you wanna get over this or has your life been cut short."

 

 

"Alright, let's fight Christina!" I finally said.

 

 

She went striaght to punching in the face and I fell on my back.

 

I went up to punch her under her chin and I heard a crack.

 

 

I thought, I had finally had a chance to beat up her. I felt exicitement come over my face.

 

But it turned out, Christina was cracking her neck instead.

 

 

"You thought." she said smiling.

 

She held me from my neck and punched me uncontrollablly. Kicking and bruising me.

 

 

For a moment, I thought I groaned from being punched too much by Christina.

 

But I had to fight back. I aim to throw off her punch. Christina staggers.

 

 

I had kicked her in the stomach and began kicking her till I heard something crack from her.

 

She quickly got up and went to hit me, I blacked out.

 

 

I didn't know what happened after. When I opened my eyes, I looked up at the sky and saw the sun set.

 

I looked at my phone and saw the time. I had been blacked out for 2 hours.

 

 

Christina won and I was left in the dust. But i'm still gonna finish my investigation, even if I have to die for it.

 

I tried to get up but my body wouldn't budge.

 

 

I didn't want to call anyone, not even Elle. Because she would want to find out who did this to me.

 

So I called up Kyle.

 

He came quick, in 5 mintues. 

 

 

"Oh my god, Sara what happened?" he asked, looking upset.

 

I coughed and blood stained the corner of my mouth.

 

"I got mugged..." I lied.

 

 

I didn't want to tell Kyle I had started a fight. To protect my identity.

 

Kyle helped me up and took me back to his apartment. 

 

 

 

"Okay hold still." he said, applying rubbing alcohol on my face.

 

"Ow!!" I said louldy.

 

I urged Kyle, and pulled him away.

 

"Listen, Kyle it's not an injury that's gonna fix it'self over night, take me to the hospital" I said after.

 

 

"But I can help you, it's just a bruise." he said.

 

Holding my face again, putting alcohol on it.

 

"No, it hurts too much. Just take me now!" I implied.

 

 

"But I can fix it up right here, if you just-" he starts.

 

"No! for the last time Kyle. Take me to the hospital now, just take me to the hospital!" I yelled furiously.

 

 

Kyle stood there motionless, still calm.

 

"But I don't understand, I can help-"

 

"No Kyle, just take me to the hospital now!" I finished.

 

"But..."

 

"Kyle," I said softly.

 

 

Kyle didn't look at me after. He put away the alcohol and came back to the couch.

 

"Okay let's go."

 

He said it calmly, like he had nothing else to say.

 

 

I felt a little bad for yelling at him, but he didn't need to help me.

 

I just got hit and it hurts a lot. I feel really crappy right now and I need a docter to help me.

 

 

When we got there, he didn't say a word to me. He only spoke to the nurse and sat in a chair, next to me.

 

 

"Okay Sara, looks like you're ready to go. Although you need to keep your right arm levitated, and make sure you ice your cheek every four hours it'll help with the bruise."

 

"Thanks." I said to the nurse.

 

I got up from the chair. And so did kyle.

 

"You can go." said the nurse.

 

 

Kyle came up behind me, trying to help.

 

"No, Kyle. I told you i'm fine... just follow me." I said.

 

"No." he replied.

 

I turned around at the tone.

 

 

"Kyle, I said i'm fine." I say.

 

"Yeah, you heard what I said. I said no." he implied.

 

 

I stood there confused, looking at Kyle in the eyes.

 

"So you're just gonna stand there and do nothing?" I said, reaching for the door handle.

 

"No, i'm gonna carry you outside."

 

I turned from him to slightly laugh.

 

 

"Hm, okay. Since you think you're the boss of me, do it then." I stated.

 

Kyle hesitated for a while, thinking of my tone before speaking.

 

After a second, I speak.

 

 

"Well bite me!!" I said.

 

"Alright." he says.

 

 

"No, I don't mean literally." I said.

 

I put my hands out in front of him, making Kyle stop.

 

"Anything I say, makes you stop." Kyle protested.

 

 

"You know, you are legit really weird and overbearing to me, leave me alone." I said.

 

"Not gonna." Kyle said.

 

 

I walked out of the hospital, with Kyle picking up the pace after.

 

 

I knew, I had
