-------------------------(Ellis)--------------------------
" I'm glad you're back too... "
William: " What? "
WAIT I'M IMAGINING THINGS AGAIN.
Ellis: " I-It's nothing... "
He didn't have to carry me...
It is true that I can walk by myself.
But...
Do I really want to let go of this opportunity?
William: " I can see my house, I'll just patch you up quickly. "
We shortly arrived near his front door.
He placed me near the steps of his porch.
' He still lives here... '
He fumbled for his key for a moment, until he found it.
' Not under the mat anymore? Noted. '
He picked me up again.
God, I just wanna kiss him right now.
But...
I know I can't.
He placed me on his couch and went inside his kitchen.
William: " Wait right there. "
" A-Alright... "
...
He still doesn't know right?
That I'm not who he thought I was
I mean...
surely he would've said something about it right now.
...
Since he wasn't around yet I got up and looked around.
...
Huh.
There's nothing much here.
I expected some pictures of him and Rose at least.
...
!
Maybe...!
Maybe he knows!
William: " Yep, those bruises were nothing severe. Though, I'll tend to you just in case. "
I jumped a little.
Since when was he standing there??
William: " You should probably sit back down. "
' I can't let him see my face yet... '
Not until I can explain to him fully.
I covered my face again with my hands and sit back down.
William: " Is it that bad? "
" Huh? "
William: " Your face injury I mean... "
He looked away slightly before looking at me again.
' Cute... '
William: " A-Anyways! So you don't stay until 6 PM I should really tend to you now. "
'It's already 5 PM? '
I wish I had more time with him...
I miss these moments I have with him...
I just wanna hold him and kiss him right now...
Tell him how I still love him...
Tell him how much I love him...
I need to wait that's all.
Since patience is always rewarded.
William: " ... "
His face looks so serious right now...
Even though he's just putting ice on my bruises.
Every second I'm with him makes me fall for him even more...!
He's really making it hard for me to hold myself back here...
William: " Okay, time for your arms. "
I only put one of my arms.
The other still covering my face.
He sighs in defeat.
Sorry... I can't reveal myself to you yet.
I just... don't know how you will react.
What is your impression of me?
Do you still love me?
I didn't see him with Rose today at all...
In fact, it looked like he was avoiding her and her " club members. "
Maybe I have a chance now?
No
No
No
I'm not ready yet.
He's not ready to see me yet.
I still need to-
William: " You should move your hands away... I can't see if you have any injuries on it. "
!!!
Wait
WAIT
I can't let him see me yet!
William: " I know you're just going to say 'I'm fine! I don't feel anything wrong on my face! ' but even so I'm still going to check. "
Oh god, What if he still hates me?
What if he still thinks of me as a cheater?
" W-Wait! "
' Ah...! '
William: " !!! "
!!!
William: " You...?! "
He dropped the bag of ice on the floor in shock.
" . . . "
I can't look at him.
I don't want to see how much he hates me...!
William: " E-Ellis?! "
Please don't hate me...
William: " What the... "
I stare to the side.
Please don't hate me...
William: " You were... Annie this whole time? '
I'm sorry...
William: " ... "
The silence is deafening...
Please...
Please don't hate me...
!!!
