hide and seek

Ella and James are both staring up at her ceiling, and refusing to meet each other's gaze.

Ella has the duvet cocooned around her. As if the layers will protect her from what she has done.

"What do we tell Noah?" James asks quietly.

"Everything. Nothing. I don't know." Ella says confusedly.

"I don't know if we should tell him." James poses hesitantly.

"He deserves to know." Ella says decisively after a long pause.

"You guys aren't technically together though, are you?" James says.

"We'll he's not my boyfriend... But I respect him enough to tell him." Ella says assuredly.

"Okay. Let's do it then. When do you want to tell him?" James agrees.

"We are not telling him together." Ella laughs at him.

"Maybe you're right. That was a bad idea. I'm always here if you need me to be there. Keep that in mind."

"You're always here James."
