(Jay POV)
I woke up next morning next morning on Sean's couch. I opened my eyes slowly and looked around. I was in Sean's apartment. I look beside me and saw Ellie resting her head on my shoulder. I rememberd her crying last night about Sean. I woke her up gently.
"El…Ellie…" I shook her. Ellie lifted her head slowly and looked at me. Her expression was blank.
"Oh my God…"
"What?"
"I'm so sorry." Ellie got up really fast and walked around the couch. She ran her fingers through her hair and looked at me. "I'm sorry. For keeping you here…" She sat back down rested her chin on her hands. I looked at her.
"No…No It's fine. I fell asleep that's all." I didn't want her to freak out anymore. I put my hand on her back and she looked at me.
"Hands off." She glared at me like a death stare. Like I killed someone. I slowly took my hand back. Hopefully she doesn't think I like her…
"Sorry." She rolled her eyes. Obviolsey she really loved Sean if she won't even let me be her friend. I was with Alex. And I loved her…I think. I mean, I hope I did. Alex was great. But It's quite clear to me that I was falling for Ellie. Because I wanted nothing more than to hold her again.
No.
I can't feel this way. I loved Alex. Not Ellie.
"It's fine." She looked at the time. She sighed again and got up.
"Um…do you need help with anything? Breakfast..-" I looked around the apartment; "Cleaning?" She glared at me again.
"Breakfast no. Cleaning, Jay Hogart, I can never see you doing that. If you really want to help stay here and until I get ready so you can drop a girl of at school." She ran into the hallway. Sean's room I guess. She grabbed clothes and stood in the hallway with her eyebrows raised. Waiting for an answer I guess. "Well?"
"Sure. But we have to stop at my house after--" She cut me off.
"Fine. Just don't go snooping around." She slammed the door to the bathroom. I sat on the couch and saw something on the coffee table. I opend it and saw a bunch of pictures of Sean and Ellie. They kept there pictures in a box? I looked at them until I heard the door open. I shut the box quickly. Ellie came out with a towel on and her hair in a pony tail. She looked in the mirror fixing her hair.
"You know, you only just came out of the shower." I said. She looked at me and turned red. She ran into her bedroom. Great. Another wait forever. After 5 minutes I heard the blow dryer. Why do girls have to be perfect? After 15 minutes of waiting Ellie came out in her normal punk clothing and black make-up.
"Ready?" I looked at her. Her hair was straitened like yesterday and she looked beautiful.
"You look…nice." I complemented. She turned red.
"Thanks. Can we go now?" I put my arms out towards the door and Ellie rolled her eyes and walked towards it. She got into the car and buckled up. I stared at her.
"You miss him?" She looked at me. Sad.
"Yeah. I do. More than anything." We locked eyes for a moment, then I turned to the steering wheel. We got to my house and I walked in. Ellie followed. We went upstairs and I got some shirts. "Nice room.." I looked around. Clean. Great.
"My mom goes on cleaning rampages." Ellie moved the hair out of her face and sat down on the bed. I looked at her. "What? It's not like your mom has never cleaned your room." I commented.
"Actually, she never has. She has too drunk to do anything." I felt bad. No wonder she lived with Sean. Her mom was drunk, and I never did dare ask about her dad. Sean mentioned once that he's on a peace-keeping mission, but I wouldn't dare bring that up in front of her.
"Ready?" I asked. Ellie got up and followed me downstairs. We got in the car and I saw her snapping her rubber band.
"Thanks." She said. What was she thanking me for? "For everything. Staying over." I shrugged
"No big deal." Maybe It wasn't a big deal for her, but It was for me.
I was falling for Ellie Nash.
And I was falling hard. Because the next thing I knew.
I was kissing her.
