                                              Ella
                          "I don't know where to go from here." Michael said.
                          We'd been sitting on a bench in silence for about fifteen minutes now. Neither of us knew how to start this conversation.
                          "Why?" He asked.
                          "Why what?" I asked back.
                          "Why didn't you just let me go? Why did you tell me to stay?" He wondered.
                          "I-I don't know. I mean, I do know. I guess. I just knew that I couldn't let things end like that. After everything, I just couldn't let that be the end of..." I trailed off. 
                          "The end of us?" He asked.
                          "Yeah. The end of us." I repeated.
                          "You know, you were wrong." He said.
                          "Wrong about what?" I questioned.
                          "You said I didn't love you anymore. That's the furthest thing from the truth, Ella." He explained. 
                          Michael
                          "Oh." She sighed.
                          "See that's the problem. I love you and I fucked up. I really fucked up." I said.
                          "We both did." She said.
                          "You didn't fuck up anything." I told her.
                          "No, I did. Before the accident, I should've just let you explain yourself instead of running away. All I kept doing was making things harder on the both of us. The day I found out you were in the hospital was the day I was gonna ask Luke for his help." She said.
                          "Help on what?" I asked.
                          "That day, I realized I was still in love with you. I had been fighting it since you and I broke up. I knew I couldn't anymore. So I was going to ask Luke for advice on where to go from there. Then I found out that you got hurt." Ella explained.
                          The silence returned as we both stared at each other. 
                          "I want you back." I blurted out.
                          "Michael." She started.
                          "Let me finish. I want to do this right. I want to try again, but I want to take things slow. Isabella May Adams, would you do me the honor of going on our second first date?" I asked.
                          She stared at me, then at the ground, and then me again. 
                          "Yes, Michael Gordon Clifford. I will go on a second first date with you." She smiled.
                          "Great! Okay, tonight? Is tonight okay?" I laughed.
                          "Sure."
                          "Okay. Be ready around eight. I'll pick you up!" I instructed.
