El peeled her eyes open, squinting them to adjust to the light. Her memory was hazy, stirring slightly in a bed which smelled and felt like hers, she noticed a soaked flannel on her head and sensed movement beside her. Danté came into her view as she tried to focus and he sighed dejectedly, she knew exactly what he was thinking. He was feeling guilty about what happened and overthinking things."Hey, how you feeling?" Danté asked hesitantly."Good" El responded with a nod "I know what you're thinking and no, it isn't your fault" she put in quickly, her voice a little raspy."No no it is, I should have been there. I shouldn't have bailed on you at the last minute, nothing should be more important than my sisters. Nothing, so it's my fault. God, I was scared El, when I came in and saw you passed out in the hallway, fuck! The things that went though my mind" Danté cut in.

 "Would you like to hang out for a while?" El asked suggestively to Declan. He was on the phone with her, he hesitated for a moment before answering her question."Ummm... Can't right now, something important came up. Will be doing stuff with my Dad today." he gave in response."Oh, sure. No problem," she tried to hide the disappointment in her voice "gotta go now, later." her tone changing slightly as she quickly ended the call. What was up with the constant rejection. She always had this fear of rejection given as she was rejected as a child, she couldn't handle rejection not even in the slightest bit. "Great, now I'm sure this summer's gonna suck." she muttered to herself.No sooner as she ended the call did another come in. Freya, read the caller ID. "Hey, what's up?" she asked"So it turns out I came home earlier than anticipated and was dragged to a party immedia

 It had been three weeks already, the weeks had been painfully long as they dragged by. Perhaps it was due to the silent treatment El gave Danté or due to the fact that she avoided public places after the whole ordeal with Declan. Her friends had tried to coax her out of the house but El being El wouldn't budge. Paige had given up after the first attempt, she knew her sister better than to try a second time.  El sat by the window in her room, staring at the sky. She was lost in thoughts and bored outta her mind. Declan hadn't crossed her mind in two weeks and five days, wow so much for caring about him. She'd always known she didn't love him, she just cared for him as a friend. It wasn't always like that for she had liked him once upon a time but the feelings died as soon as they were born.  Needing to clear her mind she stood up and stripped off her clothes and hopped into the shower. As the water cascaded down

 Keith offered to take her home - since Jade was no where to be found - much to El's disagreement. But after searching for Jade everywhere and still not finding her anywhere, she gave up and gave in to Keith's offer. They had talked for a while and even ditched alcohol to sober up a bit and avoid TMI situations. El pulled on the hem of her gown as Keith guided her through the back door of the club to avoid the crowd outside the main entrance. The night air was chilly and a blast of air hit her as soon as she stepped out of the club causing her to shiver a bit as she pulled her jacket tighter around her with a flushed face. He guided her to his car and pulled the door open for El which she responded to with a smile on her lips as she stepped in. The ride home was quiet in a comfortable way, the silence was needed for them to both gather their thoughts.El thought about what she did at the club; the dancing and wildness but she didn't
