CHAPER FIFTY-EIGHT ;

"Okay, I think that's the last box." Eleanor turned around from her box, tape dispenser in her hand, and smiled over at Steven, "I can't believe you're moving out." She frowned, walking over to Steven and Joana

"We'll visit don't worry." Steven smiled, pulling Eleanor into a hug, "Besides with the baby on the way, we need a bigger living space."

"I know I know, I'm just gonna miss you." She pretended to cry, wiping away a fake tear from under her eye

Steven rolled his eyes, pulling Eleanor into another hug, "You're a goon. I'll miss you too."

✧✧✧

"So, you have everything?" Eleanor asked for the fifth time in the last 20 minutes

"Yeah, Ellie I think we got everything." Joana told her, smiling as she pulled the younger girl into a hug

"I'm gonna miss you guys! And the little bean on the way!" Eleanor smiled, looking down at Joana's grown stomach

Steven and Joana smiled, and bid Eleanor a goodbye before they got into the car that would take them to the airport, the moving van directly behind them.

Eleanor sighed as she watched her two friends drive away, then walked back into her flat.

The flat was quite empty now, Eleanor didn't realize how much stuff was Steven's in the apartment. Come to think of it, everything was Steven's in the apartment, well that's partly because Eleanor gave Steven all the furniture for his and Joana's new home in LA, claiming that she'd buy more soon, which she will, but obviously not now. She walked over to the window ledge where her phone was charging, and check her messages

G
Hey babe! What are you doing?

Stevegoon
We miss you already!!!

Cisco
Hey hey you you you should come to Vancouver to hang out with us because we miss you❤ and because Tom Felton wants to meet you.

Mummy
Are you home? I just got back from Georgia and wanted to stop by...

Eleanor sent a quick text to all her friends, telling Grant she was currently sulking over her lost roomie, telling Steven she misses him too, telling Carlos she'll hopefully be there soon and that she wants to meet Draco Malfoy too, and telling her mother to stop by any time.

It took twenty minutes for Robin Marley to arrive at her daughters flat. She buzzed the little box, singling that she had arrived, and waited for her daughter to buzz her in. It only took five seconds for Eleanor Marley to buzz her mother in. Robin made her way to the fifth floor, then walked to the door labeled 527 where she knocked on the door three times. Her daughter opened the door, smiling at her other, then opened the door wider for her to pass through.

Robin pulled Eleanor into a hug, "It's been so long! How have you been?" Robin asked as she pulled away from her daughter

Eleanor shrugged, "I've been okay, I helped Steven and Joana move out today, so I'm a little drained," Eleanor motioned towards to lack of furniture in her large flat.

"I can tell." Her mother looked around the empty flat, then turned back to her daughter, "You look like you could go shopping. Want to go to Westfield?" she asked, her eyes filled with excitement

Eleanor smiled, "How could I say no? I just need to shower, then I'll be ready."

✧✧✧

The day had gone smoothly for Eleanor and Robin, every so often a fan would recognize them, asking for pictures and autographs which the two Marley's gave out with a smile. After the fan encounter, the mother and daughter left for lunch.

"So, Helena spent Christmas with Maggie and Thomas?" Eleanor asked as she took a bite of her burger

Robin nodded, taking a sip of her drink, "Weird I know, Maggie called me and asked if Helena could stay with her and Tom over the holiday and when I asked Helena what she thought she agreed and hasn't been back since."

Eleanor frowned, "Has she talked to you at all?" She asked

Robin shrugged, "A few texts here and there, but nothing really major."

Eleanor pulled out her phone, opened her messages and texted Helena

Eleanor
Hey kiddo, just wanted to checked on you, see how you were doing. Mum said you haven't been home since Christmas and I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I love you, see you soon. Xx

Eleanor closed out of her messages, turned her phone off, then set it on the table

"I just texted her, asked how she was doing. Now we just wait for a response." Eleanor sighed, running hand through her hair.

"You alright? You seem tense, love." Robin frowned at her eldest child

"It's just, I guess I'm just sad over Steven leaving. I also miss Grant," her cheek reddened, "and the rest of the Flash gang as well."

Her mother smiled, "I think it's time we get you home. You have a long day ahead of you."

"A long day? What do you mean?"
