She trailed off, letting the why part of her sentence go unsaid. Then she looked uncomfortable when he spoke again. " Well...no," She began. She thought about it a little more and she spoke quietly as she continued." I didn't expect anyone to feel sorry for me after this, and I put Elizabeth in a very awkward position this summer." She said tactfully. " And why did you tell her that she had to choose between me or Robert? I mean, by you doing that I could have lost the only friend I've got left here. I'm glad you said something to her, but I didn't want you to tell her to be my friend or else. Half of all this mess is my fault to begin with so she doesn't need any added pressure having to do with ultimatums." She said, still walking with him even as she spoke at length.
He snickered a little as she said that she didnt let her get away with everything, even though he could of said otherwise. When she asked him as he shrugged a little." Because I dont want to see you keep getting hurt. We both know she'll keep doing it. You said so yourself. And I told her that if all she was going to do is hurt you and not be your friend then she should stop now." He knew she had only proven his point so far. He sighed a little as he looked at her." Im just worried about you. I dont want you to get hurt." he told her as he shrugged."Do want you want with it." he told her as she knew his thoughts on the matter.
