I was confused."Wait just to make it clear who are you in love with?"I asked. She stared at me with the saddest eyes I have ever seen."I cant stand to hurt either of them" that was the only response she gave me. I didn't know what to do, so I tried to comfort her.

"I can't stand to hurt either of them..." I told her. "Who would have thought I would fall in love with Chad?" I had not seen this coming. Sure, I liked Eldon but... it was nothing compared to how much I wanted Chad right now. "he'll never talk to me again," I sighed. She looked confused again so I verified, "Chad."

I began laughing.She looked up at my confused."Chad's been in love with you for like ever and you think he won't forgive you, I'm sorry Willow but your a really bad judge of character."I said. She looked at me even more confused."If you want I can go look for him for you."I suggested.

I smiled in relief. "Really? Will you?" I asked her. She smiled kindly at me. I knew we would be great friends.
{I'll sign on as Chad, shall I?}

I clenched my teeth as I walked away from her, back to my dorm. I had known this would happen. I had known she didn't feel the same way. I had prepared myself for this blow. So why did it feel as though my heart had been replaced with a live grenade? i felt a dainty hand on my arm, and for a second hope shot through me that it might be Willow. That hope was drowned quickly.

I went looking for Chad. It didnt take to long for me to find him. I called out his name but I guess he was to lost in thought to hear me. I grabbed his arm to try and get his attention.He turned around his eyes fill with desperation and hope, but the hope was quickly washed from his eyes when he saw me.He turned around and continued on walking. I had to run to keep up with him. I grabbed his arm but he just shrugged me off."Wait"I called out.But he kept on walking. "Please" I called after him again"Please promised Willow I wouldnt come back without you."I could see you pain in his eyes as I said her name.

"Willow doesn't want to see me," I told her, without breaking my stride. "you're a smart girl, Elaina, you should know that by now." She tried to grab me again but I shrugged her off violently. She promised Willow... Willow wanted me to come back... Probably so her and Eldon can have a good laugh over me. I told myself harshly. I didn't honestly believe myself, but it numbed the pain a little to imagine her as someone that cruel. But she wasn't that cruel. "I heard her on the phone," I said, keeping my voice emotionlessly polite, "She wants Eldon, that's fine. I know she never liked me, not even as a friend."

"She wants Eldon, that's fine. I know she never liked me, not even as a friend." He said his voice breaking toward the end."You don't honestly believe that do you" I asked afraid of the answer.He just shrugged and continued walking like I didn't say anything.I grabbed his arm, this time with more force. He tried to shake me off again but I wouldn't let him."Look what do you want from me?"He spat out."I just want you to answer one question truthfully, and then you can go, if you want to."I tried to look into his eyes but they never met my gaze.

"I just want you to answer one question truthfully, and then you can go, if you want to." She told me. I stared at her. She was actually giving me a choice?? But there would be a price; this question would probably be brutal. It was awful, confusing and amazing how one girl can rip your heart into shreds, and you can still love her with the little pieces. And here was Elaina, delivering a message from that one girl. I waited anxiously.

He didn't speak, nor did he walk away."Do you really think,"I started"That Willow thinks so little of you that she wouldn't come after you?"I asked. He stared at me and then began to laugh."What"I asked getting self conscious."I just thought that you would ask me something a little more,"he paused trying to find the right was to put it,"Personal"He finally decided.I was a little confused"Look its not my business to pry" I began"Would you rather me ask you something a little more personal?"I asked.He just turned and began to walk away."Fine walk away. It just goes to show how big a coward you are"I whispered to myself."I don't know why shes bothers"

I stopped in my tracks. Coward... I could have killed Elaina, right there and right then. Coward... My dead fathers words repeated themselves over and over in my head. Coward... I was not a coward. I spun on my heel, the anger emanating from me was unbelievable. Hostility, something I didn't make a habit of accompanying. "Obviously, she thinks so little of me that she would not come after me, considering she sent you."

I couldn't believe what he was saying. He was really beginning to get on my nerves."Fine think what you want, but your going to have to see her sooner or later"I said. He started walking off again."Can I just say one more thing"I asked."Like I could stop you"He grunted continuing to walk away.I glared at him."You know I haven't known Willow long, but it really takes something to make her cry."I said as I turned around to leave. I turned around to glare at him one more time, but he was stopped in his tracks.

Willow...cried? Willow never cried. Not even a tear. Especially not over me. I turned around still not functioning properly because of the shock. "I don't believe you." "Believe it, I can prove it!" "Show me," I told her. She turned around quickly but just before she did I thought I caught a flash of something in her eyes... Triumph. I grunted. She began to lead me back.

We began walking back to Willow, neither of us saying a word. I felt a flash of tryumpt flash through me and I couldnt help but smile, until I saw Willow.She was sitting slumpted down in the hall her eyes red from crying.She heard us coming and looked up, her eyes filled with desperation. She never looked so vulrabal.She stumbled to her feet wiping the teards from her eyes as she did so.Thank youShe mouthed to me.I just smiled back, a sad joyless smile."Its getting late im going to go to bed. Call me if you need anything"I whispered to her as I walked by.
