I'm not jealous, I'm not angry, I'm not upset...but I'm not happy. I feel like...everything is going to be awkward and unpleasant for a long time." She paused a moment and bit at her thumbnail out of habit. " And that was the last thing I wanted. But I can't tell her not to, even though some would say it's against some weird invisible set of rules, to date one's best friend's ex-boyfriend. " She closed her eyes again and pinched the bridge of her nose. " I feel like a headache is coming on." She said in a slightly small and maybe sort of emotional voice. She couldn't help it, in some small way she did feel betrayed.
He smiled at her as he explained himself a little further to her." It's because I know how much its bothering you." Okay so he may not know exactly how much it was, but seeing the way she was acting...well it was bothering her quite a bit." I just dont like to see you this way. I know their isnt anything I can do to make it better for you. So I apologize for you having to go through something else." He kept quite as she finished off how she felt about the whole entire thing. He would of normally commented on the situation, but he had promised he wouldnt talk about Liz with her anymore. So he will just keep his mouth shut.
At least for the time being."I'm sorry that its not turning out the way you would of liked. She spoke about a head ache as he made a suggestion." Why dont you just relax and not think about it. Think about something else. Maybe taking your mind off of the subject that is causing the stress will make it go away." It could work. He didnt really know how well he was doing with being supportive. He didnt really feel like helping when he had more things on his mind then just the reoccurring factor of Elizabeth failing. He was trying though." Anything I can do to make it better?" He asked as he leaned his head down at an angle so that he could get a better look of her.
