Both Elliot and you have been attached to the hip since kids. Getting in trouble together. Being grounded together. You were like siblings. 7th grade year, you started to realize your feelings for Elliot. It took him until Sophomore year for him to realize his feelings for you. He could feel the spark between you two. Just didn’t want to ruin the friendship he had with you. It was sacred. Pure. Something he couldn’t buy back if he broke it.
