Ellie
After running what felt like miles she collapsed to the ground breathing hard her hands they were shaking. Uncontrollably she cried why…. why did she always have to mess things up why did she have to appear in the way that she always did as a creepy, loose canon that at any minute could just explode. Tears ran fast down her face she just wanted to be somewhere else, be someone else but what she yearned for the most was her mom. Her emotions were free and no longer controlled she wept harder and whispered…why… why mom couldn't you be here…why couldn't you just hold me like you always did…why couldn't I have died instead of you…why… Ellie was now showing the rarest thing ever, under the hard exterior was yes, a soft, young, frightened, little girl that just what'd her mom back; and to not be judged before actually getting to be known it was like that for every school since she had gained her reputation. The tears just wouldn't seem to stop, it started to rain, she stood up and walked over to a tree sliding down to the ground and weeping again she was so emotionally vulnerable right now and she hated it she hated feeling weak and helpless. Then coming out of her thoughts she heard a voice "Ellie" she looked up and saw Jackson standing before her so much sadness and pain in his eyes.
Jackson: Are- you okay…
Ellie: No… she said forceful and full of despair
Jackson: I'm not very good at these kinds of things like you know comfort but… then he just walked to her and knelt down wrapping his arms around her. She tensed but then relaxed finally feeling safe they sat there under the tree while the rain pored, thunder bombed, and every so often lightning lighting up the night sky. After a while they pulled out of the embracement Jackson wiped the lingering tears off her cheeks; and he looks into her eyes.
Jackson: it'll all be ok I'm here it'll all be ok… he says stroking her cheek and again embracing Ellie tenderly.
Ellie: how can you know…how can you be so sure that everything wont just go completely wrong… she said softly
Jackson: because even if everything does go wrong you'll still have me. He said protectively
Ellie: but you barley know me how come you don't think I'm creepy, just like everyone else… how come you're not judging me… she said gently
Jackson: because I know what its like to be the outsider and I don't judge people like that… he said tenderly
Ellie looks into the sapphire blue eyes of Jackson and for once smiles.
