"Ella?"

"Can I come over, please?"

"Of course you can, El. Are you crying? What exactly happened?"

"I... I told them. I told them we had been going out and they asked me what that meant and... and I said I'd been questioning and that... I said that I still wasn't sure, but that I did really like you."

"What did they do? Did they get mad?"

"No, not mad. Just... I don't know, disappointed? They didn't take it very well and I... I just need you to hug me, okay?"

"Of course. Do I need to come get you?"

"No, I'm kind of already on my way there. I really needed to get out. I'm about halfway now."

"Okay, be careful. I'll start up The Notebook for you and I think we still have some ice-cream laying around. We can just watch the movie and cuddle. And if you want to talk, that's okay. And if you don't, that's okay too. You can also sleep here, if you want to, of course."

"Thank you, Piper. I'd like that. I don't know what I would do without you."

"Of course, El. I'm still so incredibly proud of you, okay. Remember that. You are so, so valid."

"I... You are way too sweet, Piper. I'll be there soon."

"I'll wait for you."

"Thank you, for everything."

"Always for you."
