you reached for the remote and turned on but i’m a cheerleader.

just three minutes ago, you answered a call from eliana, her sobs making her words nearly impossible to understand. without thinking, you quickly rushed over, went outside her room by her sisters. when you opened the door, the scene broke you.

eliana was curled in a blanket, tears streaming down her face. noah had broken up with her, and from the look of it, it was anything but clean.

now, you’re both curled up together, surrounded by junk food and tissues scattered around the bed, a full mess.

“you know—” eliana started, taking a bite of her chocolate and sniffing, “i think i’ve spent half my life trying to fix people. and guess what? i can’t. you can’t save people who don’t want to be saved. who knew? I really loved him.. i thought we were gonna get married.. you know..” she let out a dry, bitter laugh.
