ELLIE SAT BY THE window, again, staring at the closed window just opposite of hers. Archer had drawn the blinds so she can't see what's going on in there.

Archer had been absent for three whole days. James said it was nothing serious but he should not be moving around so much for a few days so that the healing process will be quicker.

Still, Ellie worries. It had been over week since the day he found out the truth. And, she still hadn't had a proper conversation with him.

Ellie spent most of her free time near the window for that three days, she heard sounds coming from his room so she it's the only way she knew he's in there.

It hurts every time knowing how close he is yet he's so far away inside.

She laughed a little when she remembered all those songs about being 'far apart inside'. She understands them and also how much it hurts. Much worse than being literally thousands of miles apart.

Ellie had been doing lots of thinking during all the times she sat silently at the same spot.

She accepts that Archer is never going to talk to her first, he asked her to stay away, so it's up to her.

Nothing's going to happen if she walks, sits or sulk around for losing him.

She needs to make a move.

Not later.

Now.

"Archer?" she called out.

Silence.

"I know you're in there and you don't want to talk to me. You have every right to be mad at me. But, please hear me out. Give me a few minutes"

Silence. Maybe it's a good sign?

"You know, I was sheltered and people are always so nice to me. So, when you came along and acted that way with me, I just assumed you 'bullied' me.

You are always so strong and I'm definitely not good with words so I thought playing you was good way to pay you back. When you told me the truth, I don't know how to proceed. I know that I should have told you the truth right away but..." she swallowed

"I was afraid...of losing you" There she said it, "I never wanted to accept that but it's true. I was being so greedy, decided to keep the truth from you so that I may have more time with you. I could have talked to you about Isaac's sister too as I know you'd honestly tell me the truth but maybe deep down I know that I could use that as an...excuse to keep on being with you.

I don't know when but I've fallen for you, way back. We both know how I always react to you. I realized this now that if some other guys treated me that way, it woulddefinitely have turned out differently. I would even seek help." Ellie laughs weakly

"I would never play them knowing they're going to get...intimate with me in a way. But with you, I never really fought somaybe I've always known that you're mine. Maybe that's why I agreed to play in the first place.
