So this is my first EVER fanfiction, lol go easy on me guys! Reviews are welcome please feedback, here it goes!
Elektra sighed. Another day, another battle, but that's what was becoming weird; every day things got easier and easier, life got better, happier and almost seemed well, good somehow.
As she walked down the stairs her sense of smell became drowned with the scents of toast and coffee, she smiled that's how mornings were at Elm Tree House. She entered the kitchen and saw the people who had become sort of like her family, the kids all fighting over the unburnt piece of toast, Gina telling Tracy another list of things she had to do and Mike just stood there. All was perfect.
"What's up with you?" a voice entered her thoughts and she looked around to see Liam staring at her.
"What?" she answered realising he was talking to her.
"Well isn't someone caught in dreamland today!" he smirked.
Ugh she thought just something about the boy irked her, however he did look quite good in purple... 'Snap out of it Elektra!' she thought.
"Oh ha ha, do stop your making my sides hurt" she answered sarcastically. He smiled and something inside her turned. 'What is wrong with me today?' She turned away from him as to get back to reality, (or as much of it as possible) grabbed a glass of juice and sat down next to Sapphire. Sapphire eyed Elektra and the way Liam was staring at her. Something was going on between the two of them and Sapphire thought she had a pretty good idea of what it was.
"Er settle down please! Settle down!" Mike's failed attempt at getting everyone to shut up was going more downhill than usual.
"OI! SHUT UP!" Gina screamed. Utter silence filled the room.
"Ahem, thank you. Well, Elektra we have something to tell, or rather show to you"
Elektra looked up. "Well what are you waiting for; go on then"
Mike looked taken aback, "O...K, erm Connie could you come in please"
A beautiful, albeit thin woman stepped into the room. No sound was made.
A glass of juice clattered to the floor.
Everyone turned to look at Elektra she was stunned, her face a blank mask of shock. "Elektra darling..."
Elektra began to shake.
"...I've missed you so much..."
She stood up.
"...and I've come for you – "
"NO! NO YOU LIAR! STAY AWAY FROM ME!"
Elektra screamed. Her face had contorted into anger, hurt and misery. Tears streamed down her face. She was hysterical; her hands were shaking, pointing at Connie.
"Elektra sweetheart it's me, your moth-"
"NO! YOU'RE NOT MY MOTHER! I-I-I HATE YOU! GET HER AWAY FROM ME PLEASE! PLEASE! SOMEONE HELP ME!"
Elektra started sobbing, she backed up against the wall and slid down to the floor. Hugging her knees to her chest and dragging her nails across her trouser legs and pulling her hair. She looked like a mad girl. Everyone snapped into action Tracy sprinted over to Elektra and at once tried to console the hysterical girl, with help from Carmen. Sapphire took Harry into the garden and Johnny and Tee stood awkwardly next to the kneeling Tracy. Gus began scribbling frantically and Toby sat in his chair with a fork still halfway to his mouth. Frank sat there a single hand covering his mouth. Liam stared at the broken girl shuddering between Carmen and Tracy. She seemed so strong and now she'd fallen to pieces.
"I, er think it's best you go now Connie, just outside for a moment" Mike smiled a fake smile as he looked over at Elektra.
"What- I – No! She's my daughter I only want the best for-" Connie started.
"LIAR! LIES! SHE'S LYING TO ALL OF YOU! SHE HATES ME! PLEASE!" Elektra had suddenly burst out. Shuddering and sobbing all over again.
Connie looked shocked as Mike led her out of the room. Gina sighed "Alright, alright, Carmen you come with me, you too Johnny, Tee go with Sapphire. Tracy you and erm..." Gina looked around the room, the only person left apart from poor Toby and Frank as well as Gus (still scribbling away) was Liam. Gina prayed that this wouldn't go wrong "...you and Liam take Elektra into the living room yeah? OK come on now everybody move along".
A look of outrage flashed on to Liam's face, his eyes flickered back to Elektra and he stopped. This wasn't fair on her, merely he nodded and walked over to help Elektra up.
Tracy and Liam one were on either side of Elektra, or the stunned girl who had now taken her place. Her tears had stopped and she wasn't shaking anymore, she was just still, her face was expressionless and she sat down on the sofa silently, staring at nothing.
Tracy looked down at Elektra, blinking she whispered to Liam "You stay with her, please, I'm erm I'm going to go and help Gina"
"What if she starts crying again? I don't know what to do when girls cry!" Liam whispered back.
Tracy held back a smile, even in the midst of all of this Liam was Liam. "I'm sure you'll be fine" and with that she left.
Liam now looked at Elektra. She was still stationary, looked normal and had now progressed to staring at Harry's giraffe book.
"Liam"
Elektra had just spoken, one simple word, just his name, but never, never ever had he heard anyone say anything in such a broken way.
"Liam is she still there?" Liam came over and sat next to the blue-haired girl. "Yeah, yeah I think she is"
Elektra closed her eyes. She looked like she was physically in pain. "Is she bad?" asked Liam, he couldn't believe how stupid the words sounded.
"Yes, yes she's bad she's-" Elektra voice broke and thick tears fell into her lap. Liam saw her tears, he saw a girl all alone trying to get rid of a past that wouldn't leave her alone. He touched her hand and plucked up the courage. He held her hand "Please keep her away from me" she gasped, her eyes still closed. Liam paused and decided he couldn't deny it any longer "I'll make sure nothing hurts you" this felt so out of character to him, but he knew ever since that day, she had built the bench for Frank, something inside her wasn't what she claimed to be. Her eyes flickered open "Thank you" she whispered.
