Tira's POV
Elliot looked at me confused. I sighed loudly. He didn't get it. Now I have to spell it out to him and look like a shitty person.
"Everything I told you, everything I did was for me," I explained. I raked my hand back and forth through the crystal clear water. "I wanted to get out of Grace Field with Phil, and I did. Of course not in the way I precisely wanted, but good enough. That's the only reason why I even helped Emma, Ray, and Norman. Hell, that's the only reason why I filled Gilda and Don in on the plan in the first place!"
"I didn't tell them so they could survive. Far from it. I told them so Phil could escape. So I could escape. Honestly? I probably would have sacrificed them if it came to it." Elliot sat there listening to me without saying a word. Once I was done with my mini rant he sat up straight and stared me straight in the eyes.
"And what's wrong with that?" Elliot asked.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong with being a little selfish? We're human, that's just how we are." I sat there letting it sink in. Yeah humans always want the best for themselves, but that doesn't mean they all sacrifice others for themselves! Especially when they can't even be saved anymore...
"But I'm just a ghost," I said looking away. "What's the point of me getting saved if I don't exist?"
"You do exist, Tira." I looked over at Elliot who grabbed my hand. I could feel it. It was as if I were still a human and holding someone else's hand. His hand was cold as expected, but it was human contact. Or ghost contact in this case. Whatever the hell it would be called, it was something I really missed. Ugh, why am I getting sentimental over this?
"Thanks... but I can't change anything," I replied. "Everyone will still not remember me and keep trying to do so when it's not worth it."
"What do you to happen then? Not like you can change their minds."
"I know that! But..."
"But you want them to stop, don't you?" Elliot guessed. Yeah, exactly that. Because it's not worth it. Not worth remembering me, but getting hurt in the process and still not being able to know.
"Then why not tell Derrick to stop them? Or to just stop in general?"
"That's true..."
"Maybe I can help out?" Whoa whoa whoa! Elliot saying he'd help me? Excuse me??!
"Why? What do you get from helping me?" I asked sus'ed.
"Just shut up and take it," he said, rolling his eyes. "I don't need to justify or give an explanation to you about my choices."
Wow.
Well, this is exactly the Elliot I know.
... knew. Knewent? Whatever. This is familiar to some extent. I won't be wondering if someone is impersonating him, even if his reaction was a total 180.
"Think about it. Oh, and Phil is going to get some new clothes." I bolted up.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME EARLIER?!" I screeched. I left Elliot in my dust. Phil trying on clothes.
Phil trying on clothes!!!
I could already imagine him wearing a rain conductors uniform, white gloves and all! I squealed, rushing into the car right as the door closed. This was going to be a great pick-me up!!!
Third POV
Elliot watched Tira jump up and run off. He chuckled, looking away back to the water. His hand dipped into the cool liquid, lightly sloshing around.
"Sorry we got off on the wrong foot," Elliot said to himself. "I just hadn't talked to anyone in so long, so I guess I forgot how to be... empathetic. Nice." He sighed.
"But I want to help you because I don't want you to be like me." Elliot frowned, hand pausing in the water.
"The longer you're here, the more you have a purpose, the more you get lost in the whirlwind of human activity... and the less you are able to pass on." The blonde groaned and threw himself into the water. He laid there and closed his eyes.
"Break ties with them and move on. Or else you'll be stuck here forever."
