JACE PO

When Ella gave me her phone to listen to the recording of Elise’s confession, I never imagined just how involved her little sister was in all of this mess. If it was anybody else, I would beat them to a pulp. The fact that this whole thing has been hell on Ella, and in turn has put a bit of a strain on us as a couple. I’m made to be the bad person in order to keep Ella safe, and I hate that she doesn’t have the freedom to come and go as she pleases.

I understand that what Elise did may not have anything to do with the stalker, which we still aren‘t one hundred percent sure yet, but she got mixed up with one of Ella‘s attackers, who is part of the whole reason why we are now living across the country from our families, and the whole reason why Elise was mad at her sister. It all stems down to those four people, and Elise thought it was okay to hang out with them or at least one of them.

That piece of shit will have his day, especially once Ethan finds out what he did to his youngest daughter; that‘s statutory rape motherfucker; him being eighteen and her onl fifteen. Oh yeah, he‘s gonzo. Getting back to Elise, though, this is going to be a hard one. She needs some tough love an I know what I told Ella, and I will try my hardest, but it all depends on her sister‘s attitude.

I just sent Ella back to the playroom to clean up some of the equipment, so I can have some alone time with Elise. As she

I expect an eyeroll, but instead she nods and jumps up on a stool. I hand her the water and then grab another for myself, “I know what you want to talk to me about already, so go ahead and yell at me, I deserve it.”

Well, that, I didn‘t expect, and it defeats the purpose of lecturing her now. It seems as though Ella already did a good job of it herself. “Hey, I hope you know how lucky you are to have a sister like Ella. Not too many would be as forgiving as she is. I know how close the two of you were and I know she was only trying to protect you by not telling you about everything happening to her, but she‘s always loved you.”

“I know this now, Jace, and I should have known it then, but I felt hurt, I felt like she didn‘t care enough about me since she was moving so far away.”

“No, he never asked me.” She replies.
