To keep him from thinking about her. Although it was much easier to decide not to think about her than to actually go through with it. Even when he wasn't thinking about her, he was thinking how good he was that he wasn't, which of course made him think about her. It was all an evil cycle.
He walked through the corridor with his eyes steadily at the floor in front of him. Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot. Perhaps breaking up with his girlfriend, well ex now, had been easier if he'd had someone he could talk to. Sure, he could talk to Leo, Emma, Savannah, Katelynn and the others but it wasn't the same to talk to them as to talk to his best friends. Not only did he miss Ellie like crazy, he also missed the company of his two best friends Chandler and Fee, who from the looks of it were both doing just fine without him. He sighed like a sad puppy, maybe they were all better off without him.
Chandler and Fee were two people he really missed (but of course he was too proud to tell them) but Ellie... Ellie was different, Ellie had hurt him. He missed her but at the same time, it hurt too much to think about her. Alex decided he didn't want to meet her, it was too early. It would hurt too much and it wasn't good if she saw him all mopey. But that was exactly what he was.
Mopey and alone. Complete and utterly...
Alone.
Back to Hogwarts. No matter how much she resented it, Ellie was back. Usually, it was her mum that was begging Ellie not to go. But this time, ever since the night of James' death and when...
the boy broke up with her, Ellie wanted nothing to do with the school again. Her life was surely coming closer to its' end and Al-
the boy had left her. Yes, it was Ellie's fault and she took
almost all the blame for it. But she missed him like crazy. And now she was alone.
Her and Chandler's friendship had almost diminished since the night of the break up. And she was only really close to
him and Chandler before. Yeah, she had Fee, Alex had probably already gone to her and told him how terrible of a person Ellie was. Fee probably didn't want to hear Ellie's story.
Ellie'd been walking around the school aimlessly for the past hour or so. She couldn't sit still. Her arms were folded across her chest and she was looking at her shoes. She didn't even know where she was, not that she cared. She was in her own, sad and depressed world. Ellie almost didn't notice anyone else was near. That is, until she ran straight into them.
"Mffgh." Escaped her lips when the collided. She nearly toppled backwards, but managed to regain her composure.
"Sorry..." She mumbled, without looking at them. In all honesty, she was too out of it to care. She pulled her shirt down and looked up for a split second. She recognized the brown hair immediately. A gasp leapt out of her mouth.
Alex. She couldn't move. She wanted to hug him. She wanted to kiss him. She wanted to run away. She wanted to yell. But she was frozen.
