you and Ellie have always been close, even when she came into Jackson for the first time. You two clicked instantly.

you loved her puns and she loved hearing you laugh at them. You eventually realized your feelings for her, but obviously you didn’t tell her. She liked Dina, and she always complained about it.

but it didn’t matter, you enjoyed her company as a FRIEND and that’s all that mattered. I guess.

well, it was the usual dancing shit they always held, it was normally fun, drinking, dancing, smoking, usual Texas stuff. You were drinking on the sidelines as you watched Ellie get dragged out by Dina.

they slow danced, you saw the way Ellie looked at Dina. Full of love. It made your stomach sort of sick, made a pit form. Made you want to cry.

nothing honestly could’ve prepared you, Dina kissed Ellie. And Ellie kissed back. You felt.. your heart jump to your throat. Your nose burning.

soon though, Seth began to kick them off the dance floor.

“Oh great, now we have another loud mouth dyke.” seth said directly to Ellie and Dina.

*ellie turned angrily.

“The fuck did you just say?” she asked harshly, Dina held her back, Joel came to her defense but it only lead to Ellie lashing out at Joel.

ellie huffed in annoyance and went outside, leaving the inside quiet and awkward. Dina walked away too, but not to where Ellie was since Ellie ran off.

you followed Ellie outside quickly.

“El? You okay?” you spoke softly as you peaked outside, you saw her face in her hands as she leaned against the railing.

“Really? Am I okay? Are you fucking kidding me?” she snapped in annoyance, you flinched back at the sudden snap.

she stared and sighed softly.

“I’m.. I’m sorry. I’m fine..” she spoke softly as she buried her face back into her hands.
