A few weeks went past and Elliot got better and better, he wouldn't talk but I think he was just sorry. but I don't really know. After he was home it was summer so we didn't have school (thank goodness!) but I would come over a few times a week to see how they were doing anyways. His mom put him on suicide watch in light of the "event"... He hasn't been the same lately. It's been weird.. Like, he just stares at me.. I wonder, does he still love me?. I think I might ask him... I think I might love him too.. But I don't know if he still loves me and I don't want to make things weird..

His mom called and said she had some stuff to do so I went over to his house and after she left he just stared.
"You know what, it's time" I said trying to be confident. He kept staring.. "Your mom is gone so we are alone.." He looked interested, so i took a deep breath and went on
"Why? Why did you really do it and why won't you talk to me? do you still love me? just say something! Anything.. Please.."
He turned his head to the window "So many questions." Okay, got him to talk..
"Yes and I want answers to them all." i said moving closer to him. He turned his head to look at me "I told you why, I'm talking to you right now, and yes. Yes I do."
He started to blush a bit then went on "The real question is, do you feel the same way?" i didn't know what to say. So he went on.. "No you don't, or else you would have done something!" He looked away again "What? What do you mean?.."
I moved next to him and he looked at me again "You could have called like you do once and awhile in the morning before school! As i said, just a wave.. A hello.. An anything.." I was stunned. I got a little mad and started going.
"Ugh, no I could not have! How was I supposed to know you would be an idiot and try and kill yourself!"
He leaned into me and hugged me.. Then started to cry "I don't know! I just don't know anything anymore! I don't know anything but.. I know I love you.." I started to cry with him.
After we had both stopped crying I put on a movie and just watched him stare into space as I sat next to him. "Thanks" I said. "For what?" he said looking confused
"Talking to me" He gave a tiny smile "Thanks for crying with me.." I smiled.
"Anytime.. Elliot, I.." He looked confused again "You what?" I started to blush and took a deep breath "I love you Elliot.." He wrapped his arms around me and smiled "I love you too Izzy"
We just sat and cuddled until his mom came home, and then it was time for me to leave..

There was a door between the his room and the master (I never really got why) so she made him keep it open and she moved his bed so she could see him from her bed when he was sleeping, and took a bunch of stuff out of his room, pocket knife and anything sharp. It was kinda like baby proofing their home, just for different reasons...

The next day she called me again and told me he was somehow way better. He was eating and drinking a bit, which is awesome because he wasn't eating or drinking anything for a long time. She had to leave all day again so she asked me to come over and hang out with him. So I did.

Once I got there she said goodbye to her son and left as we just sat there not saying a word but staring. "Lately I feel like all we do is stare at each other." he said. I smiled "Yeah really.. I mean, I know I'm hot and all but still..." I did a 'toss toss'. He smiled "What now?" I gave a sigh "I don't know, but I would like to find out Elliot.."
