"Yeah" Thats all I say I don't want to move in, but I know it's the right thing to do, to protect Marley. I sit down on the floor next to the bed 

"You are playing dirty Gaby" 

He knew my name it was a plan. 

"Hey Ella" I hear the door open; Dean comes in and sits next to me I can't look at him right now I don't want. "What you are thinking about" He asks, and I ignore him "I know you don't want to move in but it's safer" He says "Just shut up when did you start caring" his face changes when but I can't care right now because I don't understand him "I always cared Ella" he says that stupid nickname that I can't stand "Just leave me alone" I say standing up "Stop" I ignore him making my way to the door and he comes out of nowhere closing it "I'm trying to help" He says looking a bit irritated why is he irritated I should be "I never asked you too" I say getting angry "Well too bad because we all want to so you better get used to it" He says and walks out slamming the door behind him "What's wrong?" I hear Sams voice, but I don't hear Dean reply the door opens and Sam comes into view "Look here I know you angry, but I was so worried, about you and Marley I needed to phone your mom I promised if anything happens, I'll let her know and I'm supposed to protect you..." "What's with you boys needing to protect us" I'm annoyed "We supposed to protect each other" I hear the sadness in this voice I get up and hug him "I know you did the right thing", and I do its just I hate that we had to involve parents "I love you Gaby" he says kissing the top of my head I close my eyes and take in the moment I feel safe here I do and I hate it I need to be able to protect myself but I was weak I gave up. "I love you too" I say and pull away from the hug I don't want to cry about it. "Let's go down" I say, and he nods. 

Back at the dorm, the movers took the last box I'm surprised it took a day I guess when you pay professions it doesn't take long, "well that's the last of them" Marley says "Yeah" I reply, it's kind of awkward I don't know what to tell her I feel guilty It's my fault that happened to her I can't just act like it's okay "I'm going to miss this place" She says "Yeah me too" She looks at me obviously picking up the small replies "What's wrong since I came home from the hospital it's been small replies" She says standing right in front of me "Nothing" I tell her she closes the door and locks it "We not leaving till we speak" She says putting the key in her jeans pocket "Don't be crazy I'm hungry let's just go" 

"No speak what's wrong" 

"Nothing can't you just let it go" 

"Stop being stubborn" 

"I'm not you are" 

"Wow childish much" 

"Marley just stop"

"If you think I won't understand I would"

"That the thing you shouldn't have to understand, it was my fault you went through that, if I was strong enough to get rid of him the first time around, he wouldn't of gone too you " I admit turning around not wanting to see her face 

"Hey, it's not your fault" She says turning me around "If anything its mine, I forced to go out and what happened to me was my own fault I couldn't fight back I took the drink and I know better to take a drink from a stranger" she says, and the tears starts falling down I take her into my arms and let her cry. "It's okay we going to protect each other" A tear fall from my eyes, but I blink it away letting her cry I need to be strong for her "Lets agree that nobody is at fault" she says easier said than done but I nod my head and hug her. 

We hear a knock on the door it's the boys "Ready to go" Sam asks we nod Sam puts his arm around Marley and stares at her lips as She's speaking about going to the cafe of Ms Simons omg, he likes her. They are walking in the front and Dan, Dean and I are at the back Dan puts his arm around me "hey you okay, you are smiling weirdly" I put my two hands out on each side stopping Dean and Dan "Do you see what I'm seeing" I ask they both look to what I'm pointing at "Yeah Marley likes Sam" Dan says "WHat" I shout but stop myself "Yeah what are you looking at?" Dean asks confused "Sam likes Marley" I say they both look and start laughing "wow how long has this been going on?" I ask I don't understand how I never saw this before "Girl since last year" Dan says I am shocked "I'm surprised you didn't know she's your roommate" True I can't believe I'm so oblivious "Hey guys why you just standing there" Sam turns to us and I notice we far from them we walk making jokes and laughing
