Opposite Sides of the Bridge

Chapter 102: Boom Clap

Disclaimer: I own Elizabeth, all the rest of the characters unless otherwise noted do not belong to me

~No silver or no gold

Could dress me up so good

You're the glitter in the darkness of my world

Just tell me what to do

I'll fall right into you

We're going under cast the spell, just say the word

I feel your love~

(Charli XCX)

Another picture-perfect Valentine's Day on the Upper East Side, and how am I going to Celebrate? By exposing a giant secret today that's sure to break more than a few hearts.

Elizabeth sat at her table at the coffee shop eating breakfast with Ella. Last year for Valentine's Day she had barely had Ella and had invited Cameron over where it ended badly and the year before that she was Single. This year she wasn't sure where her and Chuck stood but she was looking forward to seeing where it went.

"Hello" she replied.

"Wow seem more chipper Elizabeth" Chuck said.

"It's Valentine's Day Chuck, not exactly my favorite holiday, or is it yours"

"Okay that is very true" he replied.

"I wanted to thank you for well not just the first night but the many nights after as well. I don't know exactly if it helped but it is helping. At least for right now it is."

"Same" he laughed. He was starting to figure out how she felt about him and just wanted her to say something. He didn't want to push her, so he was just being patient with her. With everything she had went through in the last couple months he just wanted her to go at her own pace. "How's my girl?"

"She is good. We are sitting at the coffee shop eating breakfast. Heart donuts. She loves them. And her birthday last week with just the three of us was very nice. Downright perfect if I'm being honest."

After her telling him everything that was wrong with her, they packed their bags and headed to the Hamptons for the week. He knew she needed to get away from the city. And it only made them grown closer.

"Give her a kiss from me and I'll see you later" he said.

"Why'd you call?"

"To check up on my Cinderella since I'm the only one who knows why she's been down." he said. "And since I see you are at least alive and having breakfast with our daughter I will let you be"

"Thanks" she said then they hung up.

She finished eating with Ella and they headed over to her dads. She walked in and spotted him talking to Charlie.

"Oh my god Charlie!" she said hugging her.

"Lizzie" Charlie said "How's the band? How's the little girl?"

"They're good. We have a small European tour this summer that I'm stoked for. Which means a whole summer away from this little girl. But she will have fun with Grandpa and Grandma"

Her dad and Lily offered to take Ella for the summer. They said it was because they saw what a mess she was after the accident that she needed a summer to focus on her tour. She felt so bad leaving her little girl for a whole summer but they promised they would call every day and skype so she could at least talk to her.
