Sean sat on his bed. He hadn't been here in a long time. The sheets were the same. Everything in the house was the same, the look, the smell, the feel. But one thing was missing one thing that had never been there. He couldn't get the look on her face as he told her he was staying out of his head. He kept seeing her face. He loved her and he couldn't deny it now. His heart felt heavy for sending her back by herself. He pulled out his wallet and pulled out a picture of her. It was when she still wore her hair in braids until he had convinced her how much he loved it loose. He thought about how it had danced in the wind earlier when they were on the beach. He thought about how she had helped him when he had to keep his grades up to keep his student welfare. When he closed his eyes all he could see was her face and hear her whispering his name.
"I love you too." he repeated to himself. That was the only thing he could say to her. When he looked into her eyes he could hear her saying "please don't stay I need you"
How could he just walk away from her. How could he leave her the way he did. Her beautiful green eyes haunted his dreams. He wasnt used to sleeping alone.
"Ellie, Im sorry" he whispered as if he could hear him. What was thinking leaving her like that. All alone. Without anyone. Her mom was gone and her dad was gone. What would she do...what if she decided to cut again or something worse. All these thoughts were running through her head. He jumped up and went into the livingroom. His mom was asleep and his dad was passed out on the couch. He snuck past him into the kitchen were the phone was. He grabbed the cordless and snuck back to his room. He dialed his old number and listened to the rings.
