Ella's POV
My aunt stopped feeding me. I tried paying more money to the household just so she could get me some food but she refused. I think that's fair they all loved my dad and I think I killed him too. I think I deserve it.
I heard Walter has started taking therapy to cope with all of it. I hope he becomes better soon I have caused him immense pain. He used to be so protective of me but now it's as if he would be the happiest if I die. If I trip or fall around the house he smirks, when I get sick he refuses to even call for the doctor, I feel so unwanted in the house.
Tina and Rachel have spread some rumours about me, well I think I might be mistaken maybe they just spread facts about me, I got bullied a lot because of it. My trial was a closed trial without a jury some information shouldn't have gotten out but they told everyone everything in detail. No one lets me forget for even a second now that I am a monster.
Steve walks past me in school, I tried talking to him once he said "It would be better if you would leave Ella, leave the school, the city hell leave the county."
I dont even dare to go near Jacob, or look at him or even be in the same room as him at school. I just go over our old photos again and again and relive the memories. That is the extent to my happiness and love now, the photos.
I have decided to leave, I have named the house and instructed the business to pay a fair share to my aunt and Walter every month. If I could I would name the whole business in Walter's name but according to my dad's will I can only make changes in ownership after marriage and I can only give 30 percent of it to anyone. This was written keeping Jacob and my marriage in mind and was never changed.
In a last hope to see everyone and Jacob I spoke very loudly and stupidly near my locker at school when everyone was in the corridor "I am leaving the city forever tomorrow at 7pm I hope to see the people I love for the last time at the airport." I looked around at them I wished I hadn't. I saw a silent relief in their eyes.
I still had hopes that they might show up, I waited no one did.
I left everything behind not to start a new life but to know the truth of my life.
