Elena sat outside Zick's room on the floor and was crying.
Zick sat next to her and wiped away her tears with his thumb,
but Elena pushed aside his hand
"Don't do that! I hate it when you do that!" bawled Elena
"Elena, what's wrong?" asked Zick
"Everything Zick, everything! You, my parents, my life, my feelings, everything." sobbed Elena
Zick moved closer to Elena and hugged her
"Well, I guess you just drank a lot of water, that's why you're crying." chuckled Zick
"When a girl is hurt, she need words of comfort, not your silly jokes."
"Sorry, why are you even crying? What, by the word everything, do you mean?"
"I'm sorry but I can't tell you."
"Why not? Don't you trust me?"
"I do, but it's private."
"Well, there's no one here in the house except us. Mom and dad went out, grandma and grandpa and the monsters went together with Timothy to Bibbur-si. So, you could actually tell me."
"Zick, my parents are hardly ever paying attention to me. They hardly ever spend time with me these days. My brothers, were sent to New York to our aunt. My life gets worse everyday. You, you don't even love me as your friend. You don't even greet me when we see each other at the street. You've been ignoring me these days. "
"That's not true. I love you Elena, so much. I just can't tell you that before 'cause I was . . . .I was scared . . .. and, nervous, so I guess now you found out about the truth. I love you Elena, not Lay, if you're thinking that I like her . .."
"I really thought that you like her."
"I really thought that you like someone else. That's why I never told you how I felt."
"I can't believe you feel the same way about me."
"Me too . . ."
"Elena and Zick almost kissed then someone opened the main door
"We're home! Zick? Elena?" said Greta
"Uh . . .we're here mom." said Zick
Greta went upstairs and saw Zick and Elena seated on the floor
"Of all things, why'd you two choose the floor to sit on?" asked Greta in a confused voice "We just uh . . .got tired of sitting on the couch." lied Zick
"O . . .k? Well, Elena your mom said she and your dad will be late in going home, so you'll have to eat dinner here." said Greta as she went to the kitchen
"They always are never here these days." said Elena as she went down the staircase
"Aw, please understand your parents Elena, their just working hard for you and your brothers." said Zob
"I know that. But they are always away from home, or coming home late. So I wind up staying with you. I'm getting kind of guilty for staying here since the day the two of them were promoted at work." said Elena
"Don't worry Elena, you're like family to us." said Zick
"Thanks . . ." Elena said as she blushed
All of them went to eat at the dinning room.
After that they all went to sleep
"Elena, why don't you here, rather than to sleep all alone in your house." said Greta
"But where will I sleep?" asked Elena
"Where else? At Zick's room, you'll have to share in one bed." said Zob
"What the- . ." Elena looked confused
"Well, goodnight you two." said Zob as he went to his and Greta's room.
Elena and Zick went upstairs to the room and closed the door.
"Well, goodnight Elena." said Zick as he went in the bed
"Goodnight Zick." Elena said as she went into Zick's bed
"Wait. . . .how come we're sharing the same bed?" Elena asked as she stood up and jumped out of bed
"Well I don't know . . .ask dad." said Zick
"How could I ask him? It's almost twelve o'clock in the evening and I'm just going to wake them up."
"Well, what's wrong with sleeping with me?"
"I just don't feel comfortable."
"Comfortable . . .why not? I mean . . .I am your friend after all. I won't do anything to you, it's not like I'm going to kill you."
"Yeah . . .promise me you won't kill me?"
"Hell, Elena! You're my friend! I couldn't kill my friend! Espescially when she's my bestfriend. Now . . .it's already midnight . . .go to sleep." Zick said as he led Elena to the bed
"Alright . . .goodnight."
"Goodnight Elena." said Zick as he switched off the light.
