Coffee

Now you'll see the story be more 18+. DW nothing too serious cuz I'm not weird, just more mature yk.

If ur not mature mentally then tf u doing here? This is a gorey apocalyptic video game.

*Readers pov*

You: It's just...horrible for her to say.

Jesse: Must be, bud.

He sits at my bed, bored and tired.

I pace up and down my room.

Jesse: But you still love her-

The door knocks.

Jesse: Who's here? At this hour? It's 3am.

I point at him.

You: You are.

Jesse: Nice one, smartass.

I open the door, it's Ellie. She has bags under her eyes and looking like she's been crying with bloodshot eyes.

She looks up at me, no smile.

My mood kinda drops.

You: Oh.

I look back to Jesse.

You: Bro, get out.

Jesse: Why?

He looks around the corner to the door.

Jesse: Oh.

He jumps up. Walking past.

Jesse: Best of luck. Goodnight, bro.

You: Thanks. Night, Bro.

He leaves.

It's only us.

You: Come in.

She jolts out of her trance and enters. I close the door as she takes off her shoes, sitting on my bed.

I sit on the desk chair.

You: What?

Ellie:...I'm sorry for snapping on you and saying those things...

You: Why did you say it?

Ellie: It's my monthly cycle and I'm just scared. I'm terrified...I don't know what will happen in the future, I don't want to lose you. Ever.

I sigh.

You: It's whatever.

She looks in the corner, it's the noose from yesterday. It's tied up in the corner, hanging from the roof.

I click my knuckles as she jolts to look at me.

Ellie: I get it if you hate me now...

You: I couldn't hate you.

I look away.

You: All forgiven.

She looks down.

Ellie: Y/N?

You: What?

Ellie: Can I give you a hug?

What a weirdo.

You: Sure.

She stands up, hugging me tight as if it was the last one. The hug felt very warming.

Ellie: You mean too much to me...

*Flashback*

Joel: Confess to her.

Me: When?
