           " Hey Ellie?" Dan walks out of his room just as I reach the door.

           " Yeah?" I turn and look at him.

           " Thank you for helping Phil." He states.

           " No problem," I smile and walk out the door .  I roll over and groan. My heads blasting, my stomach hurts, I feel like shit. Last nights turn of events wouldn't let me sleep. I really don't know why. Phil fell asleep in his bathroom after I bandaged his cheek.  

           " Thanks mind, for you are an asshole." I get up and fumble into the bathroom. " Keeping me up all night."  I take a quick shower. It's like 4:05 A.M. I pick out a black pair jean shorts, A white tank top with a red heart  on it, red flip flops, and a silver ring with jagged teeth on it. . Before running out he door I grab, my camera and house keys.

         I find the little park my cab passed when I arrived. There's a little pond with benches and stuff. I take some snap shots of the moonlit water.  Did Dan show true feeling last night? Was he being a smart ass? 

        " Hey," Someone asks from behind. I must jump a foot off the ground. I  turn to see Dan. " Sorry to scare you," He chuckles.

         " How did you know I would be down here?" I ask, creeped out. 

         " You always are calmer by the water." He looks at his feet. " Well, were." There's an awkward silence. " Hey Ellie?"

         " Hmm?" I look at him, eyes questionable.

         " How have you been since..... you know.." He looks away.

         " To be honest," I swallow.  " It's been hell Dan. Now I have a question for you." Dan looks at me. 

        " Anything," He chokes a bit.

        " Why?" I ask him. " Why did you leave when I needed you most?"

        " It's not like I had a choice El," His says, a bit irritated.

        " You did have a choice, Dan." I feel my cheeks get hot.   

        " Ellie, When can you open your eyes and see that we were from two different worlds? My parents didn't want me to get hurt." Dan tries to reason.

         " Did your parents tell you to ignore me in the hallway at school? Did they tell you to ignore every E-mail for 6 years?" I whisper. 

          " Well, unlike your parents, mine cared for me!" Dan snaps. I begin to slow clap.

          " Congratulations, Mr., Howell you have hit the weakest spot!" I huff and begin to walking back to the flats.

          " Don't walk away from me!" Dan trails from behind me.

          " Too late," I mumble. I hear him huff and grunt all the way back. Finally when we reach his floor, I spin around.

          " WHAT THE F#CK DO YOU WANT?!?" I  yell in his face.

          " I WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU'VE SUCKED PHIL INTO THIS!" Dan spits.

          " YOU THINK I ASKED PHIL TO STAMP OVER ME?!?" I scream.

          " YOU JUST WANT HIM TO SWEEP YOU OFF YOUR FEET LIKE MOTHERF#CKING  CINDERELLA!"  Dan shouts back.

           " IS THAT WHY YOU'VE BEEN ACTING LIKE AN ASSHOLE?!?" I  shoot back. " OR IS THAT A YEAR ROUND OCCASION?!?"

          " YOU JUST SIT ON THE PITY POT WAITING FOR EVERYONE TO FEEL SORRY!" Dan snarls. " NEWS FLASH PRINCESS, NO ONE CARES!" Anger bubbles in side like a pan of boiling water. I punch him in the jaw. He stumbles back, flabbergasted.
