Smother Me ||Part Four|| Bert McCracken

I woke up the next morning and got ready for school. I hated school. Thank God this is my last year. Im giving myself a break and not going to college for a year. I cannot wait.
I showered and did my makeup. I put a plain blue shirt on and a pink tank top over that. I brushed out my hair and straightened my bangs. Put on some jewelry and my shoes. Finally, Im ready. I walked down stairs and stopped at the last step.
"Hey.."
"Jeph! Berts here! Hurry up.." I yelled up the stairs and quickly walked into the kitchen. I was rummaging through the cabinet for cookies, when I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Its been a really long time since we've spoken." Bert said looking into my eyes.
"I know. But lets not get into that topic now. I need to leave for school in 30 minutes."
"Please just hear me out for a second?"
"Dude, why now? The most we've spoken were one word answers."
"Please Ella, I need to talk to you.."
"Fine make it quick." I said rolling my eyes.
"Think what you wanna think. But I love you."
"Yeah and I used to love you too." He has quite a nerve.
Bert walked over to me and gave me a kiss. It was a quick one, but it made my stomach flip. I looked at him in disgust wondering what the [censor] he was thinking. He stood there silently.
"Im waiting.." I said tapping my foot.
"I want you back in my life." He said looking at me.
"Yeah well your the one that left me." I said fighting back tears.
"But Ive been talking to people and thinking things over."
"Who are the people?" I asked confused.
"Your brother. He cares about you. He's been paying attention to you. Even if you dont think so. He loves you, as do I. I know this is all a sudden approach, but I couldnt stand waiting another minute."
"You scarred me for life and you expect and apology to fix it?"
"I expect an apology to break the ice, so I can work things out further in the future."
"How DARE you!" I yelled softly. I lifted up my shirt and pointed to a big scar on my stomach. "That's all I have left Bert. Thats it! My child, MY baby was taken from me! Its my fault, and what did you do? You LEFT me. You dont know how dead I feel. You do not care! I dont think you ever did. My baby Bert, my baby, died. You did not even stick by to help me. So what? I was left with a scar. That's all I had.. After loosing two people I loved.." I walked away from him wiping tears from my face. I picked up my backpack and bag. I walked out of the house. I began walking down the street on my way to school.
I stopped crying and entered the school. I walked up to Carly. I told myself to not think about what happened until after school. Maybe I'll talk to Jeph about it.
"Hey."
"Hello there lovely lady!" Ella said giving me a hug. I smiled and shrugged.
"What's up?" I opened my locker and put my backpack inside.
"Nothing really. Rough morning with my parents." She said frowning.
"Oh yeah, you never explained that stuff." I said awkwardly.
"I will. Just not now. Too long of a story." She smiled.
The bell rang and everyone ran off into their classes. I said goodbye to Carly and walked to my classroom. I sat down and prepared myself for a day of learning. Blah, blah, blah learning shmearning..
