Ellie had just broken up with one of the girls in your class

Ellie was sitting at the edge of the couch in your dorm. She had obviously been crying, her eyes were red and puffy. You could tell that she’d probably been dumped. You decide to walk closer to see if she was okay*

“Hey..” she said, her voice barely a whisper. You could tell she was trying not to cry again. “Kate broke up with me…” *she told you, gesturing you to sit beside her on the couch.

you walk over and sit down beside her. Ellie gently places a soft blanket over the two of you. You’d never seen this side of her before.

then you could feel her bigger, stronger hand envelope your slender one. She sniffed and leaned her head on your shoulder
