elio
she was sound asleep, but i had to get ready for an interview.
i open the door and it creaks. "shit" i mumble quietly. "mmm" i hear acelynn groan. god, i woke her up.

"hey sorry, go back to sleep" i kiss her forehead. "how early is it?" she asks trying to sneak a peek of my watch. i laugh. "about 5am, go back to sleep." i say. she sits up in shock and groans. "what are you doing up?" her voice was low.
"um, just going for a walk" i badly lie. i hated lying but if i didn't get the job, she would be so disappointed. "in a suit?" she gives me a look up and down. "um.. yeah why not?" i ask leaning my lips forward.

"okay, don't take to long" her lips press on mine also. she lays back down and snuggles, grabbing my arm. "ahem." i cough. "my arm please, ma'am?" i jokingly say and pull away, stroking my hand down her back.

my breath raged, i run back to my house. hopefully acelynn was gone, i was so mad that i could punch her without even thinking.
i open the door and it makes a small creak sound.

acelynn
my eyes burst open when a creak sound comes from the front door of elio's house and i groan. "elio?" i call out sitting up in the bed. the door slams and i jump. "get out of my way" elio says pushing me into the wall. what? "i- babe, whats wrong" i say glaring at a huge black eye.

"nothing" he says walking into the bathroom. "tell me" i say forcingly, pushing myself into him.
i give him a slight kiss on the lips then i back up.
"i got punched" he says, looking down. "BY WHO!?" i yell in shock and run downstairs to get ice.

i rummage through the freezer, getting an ice pack for him. "thanks" he says as i reach my hand out, placing the ice on his black, bruised eye. it was all puffy and red-ish black. almost a purple.
"you didn't answer my question elio" i mention again. "by who?"

"nobody!" he pushes my hand off harshly, hurting every bone in my hand. he removes the ice pack from his face. "i- i'm sorry" i say stuttering. my vision goes blurry and water runs down my eyes. i run out of his house, feeling nauseous. i hear footsteps behind me.
"wait i'm sorry ace" he says touching my shoulder right before i step out the door and i sniffle.

"no, i'll just go-" i shutter. "you can have bailey back" i say, wondering if he would actually go back to nothing ever happened between us. but, it did. i couldn't deny it, so how could he?
my eyes blink, tears racing out of my eyes. the blur disappears.

i hear his mouth trembling, probably wondering if i was right. i was.
i was just the other girl after bailey. i shouldn't deserve elio, i was the other girl in all those movies i watch. i couldn't help but to feel.. destroyed.

maybe another year this could work, but not now. i wasn't his. and he wasn't mine to take. tomorrow, i will go to baileys house and fix things. everything.

it would be hard, not being with elio. since.. i love him. its too hard to stay away from a loved one. so hard, don't you think?
