Hey guys! This can be a two shot, a three shot, or a story if you want. It could go romantic or stay as a friendship! But I won't know what to do without you voicing it in the reviews! Thanks for reading!
Ellie stared down at her phone and the new contact she had put in, or well was forced to put it by Lucy. Nathan West was the contact she had her eyes on just staring. The picture is of him, sitting there right after Lucy deemed them best friends. It's a simple picture but he looks good. 'Stop!' she told herself, she didn't need to be hitting on him when her goal was Spinelli, and besides his was Maxie.
Just before she shuts off her phone and goes to be for the night her phone rings. It's him. She is confused and surprisingly excited by it. She picked up the phone with a welcome. "Hey, Nathan, what do you need?" She asked nicely.
"You." He said and she nearly choked. What did he mean? Her as in a friend she said to herself not sure why someone like her, attracted to the mind was so flustered by the hunk.
"Excuse me?" She said so he could clarify the message. Ellie had the feeling that whatever he needed couldn't happen over the phone so she rested her phone between her shoulder and ear going to the door to grab her shoes.
"I just needed somebody that get's me, that I can talk to, and so I need you." He started as she slipped on her left shoe almost loosing her balance. "Can you come over?" He asked and she couldn't say no, not that she would. She needed it just as bad as him.
"Of course, give me five." She told him snatching her keys off the end table and gathering a few other things to throw in her purse.
"Thanks Bestie." He said and she couldn't help but to grin at the use of Bestie. But for some odd reason, especially in this moment it felt like they were truly best friends. The feeling was good since she hadn't been in town for a while and her two main friends were busy with each other.
"Your welcome Bestie." Ellie said back into the phone, free hand gripping the door handle staying by the door until they hung up. The smile still present on her face grew larger as she heard him slightly laugh at it. "Bye." Ellie finnished and hung up on him to make sure she got there soon, she really wanted too.
When Ellie got to Kelly's she knew the way up and followed it until she got to his room. She went to knock on the door when it opened in front of her. There stood Nathan, looking gorgeous and letting her inside. She stepped in and placed her bag on the dresser and turned to face him.
"You need to learn to be more patient, I could have knocked." Ellie told him resting on the dresser watching him close the door and step more in the room.
"But I couldn't wait to see you, I'm going crazy." Nathan told her sounding more flustered than on the phone, showing it in the way he walked in the room more not making eye contact with her anymore. She walked away from the dresser and over to him, grabbing his muscled arm and making him look down at her.
"I know you are, that's why i'm here at 11:48 at night, now let's talk." She told him nicely knowing one of them needed to be strong in the situation at hand, knew one needed to be positive or else it'd be a pity party and a negative night. She knew she could be that for her instant best friend.
"I don't get why Maxie just couldn't decide between us, if she did I wouldn't have called surrender and I don't want to sound cocky but i'm pretty sure she would have picked me!" He started to rant as the two sat down on the end of his bed in the tiny room. Nathan suddenly realized what he said could have offended Ellie and tried to fix it. "Not that there is anything wrong with Spinelli, it's just that what we had was so good, and it was happening in the present, not the past!"
"I get it, I feel like Spinelli is just looking for the past in the future, and I understand Georgie needs them both but not together! I don't think they can be as happy with out us, I know I can't be too happy without Damian." Ellie spilled out to Nathan starting to wonder if she really could pull off being positive when she really was so worried inside.
"I'm not used to not being picked! And when I am, it really gets to me Ellie, it makes me go crazy! And when Maxie is the one picking me second it hurts even more." Nathan told her looking down upset. "Like i'm never gonna be happy again, like it's not a possibility when I know i'll think of them. And think about me unhappy without her."
"We will be happy Nathan I promise, even if i lose Damian and you lose Maxie we gain each other." She told him mustering up a smile and reaching for his hand to hold onto and squeeze comfortingly. He looked at her and her pretty smile, and he knew that someone as smart and pretty as her knew they'd be alright, they would be. Even if it took a lot of time and healing, they'd do it together as best friends, and they wouldn't lose each other.
