Ellie's POV
"I love you."
Skylers words were muffled, out of breath pants that sank into the lines of my lips, barely heard like a ghostly presence.

Our bodies stuck together like glue in an ant trap, her arms holding me tightly while her fingers molded into the layers of my hair. My body tenses from beneath her like a shell shocked solider on the forth of July. I must have heard it wrong, like talking on the phone with someone and you drive through a underground tunnel.

"I love you, Els..."
She repeated, confirming that I wasn't on the phone with a shitty connection.

Skyler pulls away, hands coming down to hold the nape of my neck, eyes wide and a worried cease forming between her eyebrows. So beautiful... a child like innocence and honesty. It's not that I didn't believe her, I was just scared I'd make her regret saying those words to me.

"I-" Skyler stutters, lifting herself off of me quickly, a small whimper escapes her lifts from the strap exiting too quickly.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that." Skyler laughs it off, avoiding eye contact as she pulls her underwear up her legs.

I wasn't fully comprehending how big of an asshole I seemed by not replying right away, my mind still replaying those three little words, so simple and easy but so hard to understand.

"You don't have to say anything-" Skyler said still avoiding eye contact as she continued to dress herself.
"Just forget I said that, okay?" A frustrated huff emits from her as she finally turns to me, an awkward silence forming in the room that was once lively with Skyler's hungry erotica.

How could I just forget? It seemed cruel to imply I could brush it off, the simple phrase that fell from her lips, dumb and insufficient words that sounded so good coming from her, almost too good. Skyler made them sound warm, like fresh bakery bread or a well-earned nap after a long day in the sun.
How could I resist?

Skyler's POV
"Els?"
I call out to get her attention, a pathetic thump in my throat, terrified and beyond embarrassed I let myself get caught up in the moment, but it was the truth. I did love her; at least, that is what I thought these feelings for her were.

Everything I imagined what love was, the urge to protect and take care of someone, the feeling of no matter what happens... you could never bring yourself to give up, to hate one another no matter how big or small the problem at hand was. Love was light, like the brightest star on the brightest planet in the sky. Love is being two separate souls that accept each other without conditions or rules.

"Can we change the subject now? I literally want to peel my skin off." I laugh awkwardly, attempting to steer away from the conversation.

"Wha-? Oh..yeah... sorry. Jus' took me off guard is all." Ellie said, words fading from uncertainty, uncertain of what? I'm not so sure.

"Are you mad?" I asked, a genuine sense of guilt riddled my tone. I knew it wasn't fair to put that on her, and I didn't expect her to say anything or even react. It was simply a thought that surfaced my brain and clouded my judgment enough to the point it came pouring out.

Yeah, that's what I will tell myself.

"Mad?- of course not. No, I'm not mad-" Ellie's face contorted, eyebrows pinched in puzzlement.
"Why would I be?"
