only time will tell

dina's pov:

i laid on the end of my sister talia's bed as she played a song she learned on her guitar, swaying to the beat.

she sat, smiling as i enjoyed the tune.

once she finished, she placed her guitar aside with a sigh of exhaustion. "so?" she dragged out.

"that was.. horrible!" i joked, and she slapped me on the shoulder.

"oh whatever, like you could do any better." she rolled her eyes playfully.

the room was finally silent, my sister headed to her desk to finish up what she was building on minecraft while i sat and watched.

she never lets me play, she says she doesn't trust me with tnt and flint and steel in my inventory.

she knows i'll blow her house up in an instant.

it was starting to get late, the sunset colored her room a bright orange as she finished up whatever she was building.

"okay, you can get out now." she said, shutting off her computer and pointing toward the door.

"wait i-" i began, but she cut me off. "if it's about that girl i don't want to hear it."

i sighed in frustration, apparently i haven't stopped talking about her since our first 'conversation' yesterday.

even though i was the one doing the talking.

my parents told me they're gonna go crazy if they hear her name one more time, which really has me thinking.

maybe i do like her?

i've been trying to convince myself i'm not in love with her, the truth is she's all i can think about.

no matter what i'm doing she's always on my mind, not that i'm complaining at all.

my parents on the other hand, maybe so.

i've been obsessed with her since we locked eyes that one time during freshman year, even though she barely even showed up.

everyone spread rumors about her, saying she was in jail or the mental hospital for something so stupid, i couldn't have even thought of that.

it's always 'ellie's so weird' or 'what's up with that ellie girl?' everywhere i go.

ever since my friend group found out about my undying love for that girl they're starting to distance themselves from me, like they're embarrassed.

i wasn't though, i'm sure that's all that matters.

ellie is part of me, wether she sees it or not i'll always look at her that way.

i stood up from my sisters bed, flicking her on the back of her head as i walked out. "shut the door." she said, to which i ignored.

i love pissing her off like that. younger sister things, i guess, and i'm pretty damn good at it.

i finally reached my room, my bright blue led lights practically blinded me as i opened the door.

my phone vibrated in my pocket as i sat on my bed kicking my feet up.

i waited until i got comfortable to open it, immediately smiling once i saw who it was.

| ellie
hi

i immediately kicked my feet, it's crazy how a simple 'hi' can get me this worked up.

| me
omg heyyy
i miss you so much

| ellie
you don't even know me

my smile immediately faded, i always hated when she said that. i'm sure it's the other way around.
