Him

Back to Eli

She now wore a hoodie that was way too big for her, which of course, was Eli's and had his last name on the back.

She wore a pair of blue jeans, which looked too big for her, but they were comfotable anyways, so she wore them with a belt that was barley visable from under the hoodie.

She topped it off with a pair of tennis shoes, which were worn, but still very comfortable.

As she walked into the barn, she felt the cold air rush outside it always did, and the barn become warmer.

She saw Eli sitting in one of the horse stalls and went over to him, he appeared to be sleeping.

She smiled at him, standing there for a while, before pulling up a stool for herself and sitting next to him, she sat there for a while listening to his soft breaths coming in and out, then she saw a movement out the side of her eye and saw a group of horses running by, including Future, bucking wildly and whinning loudly.

She was glad Future could have some fun in his life from all the work he does.

As they ran back, she saw one of the horses stumble and almost fall.

She sat up straight and grabbed Eli's arm.

Harder than she thought.

He awoke with a start, falling out of his stool bringing Ella along with him.

"Eli!" Ella said

"Ella!" Eli said back

After Ella moved her hair from her face, she felt her cheeks grow warm.

When they landed on the ground, she saw he had pulled her too, and she had landed on his chest, and he was smiling up at her.

"What's so funny?" She asked looking down at him

He responded, almost through clenched teeth "Nothings funny, your squeezing the life out of my arm." He reached over with his right hand, and removed her hand from his arm "Girl's got a death grip." He said to nobody inparticualr.

Ella smiled and laughed slightly when he said that, she always found it funny when he spoke to nobody inparticular.

Eli turned back to her and smiled slightly "Rambling. Sorry." He said to her then scratched the back of his neck nerviously

"No, It's fine. It's cute actually." She told him, not thinking about it

Eli turned back to her and stared at her and she looked back at him.

"I'm..." She stood up and brushed herself off, even though there was nothing on her hoddie, before heading outside and standing near the steps outside the barn.

Eli stayed there for a while, then stood up himself and brushed off the hay shaving they landed on from his clothes.
