Uhh...?

I remember very distinctly that she got beat up by Amy.

" No. "

Ellis: " H-Huh? "

" You heard me, now go back to your house. "

I help her up and lead her to the exit.

She looks dazed as if she didn't expect that kind of answer...

Even if Rose and I were not together, it'd still feel weird to go back to your ex without any explanation.

Ellis: " WAIT A SECOND. "

As I finally got her out of my house she stops me from closing the door completely.

Ellis: " W-What do you mean?? "

She's trying to get in again...!

" I just think I need a break from all this. . . "

Rose? Hm...

I'll have to confront her tomorrow to confirm this...

A sudden force disrupts my thought as all my attention is suddenly shifted onto holding the door in place.

She really is trying with all her might, is she?

Well, If I learned something from my "Interaction" with Amy then I should probably just do this.

Ellis: " !!? '

Just gently nudge her foot out of the way then quickly shut the door and lock it.

Though thankfully she isn't as persistent.

Ellis: " I-I get it... I'll give you some space. "

I hear her footsteps walking away.

Ellis: "I'll just talk to you tomorrow! "

...

The footsteps are gone.

I go into my bedroom to see from my window if she was gone.

...

Yep, I don't see her.

...

Right, Rose.

...

...?

Come to think of it...

I have a clear memory nowadays, do I?

Those random headaches don't appear often anymore.

Actually, it hasn't appeared since last time.

Eh, It's better that way anyways.

I fall into my bed as fatigue was setting over me.

Today was really something.

Amy is someone I can't trust anymore.

Rose is giving me these vibes that I shouldn't associate myself with her.

Though I'll have to confront her tomorrow.

Jess.

She seems like the only one I can trust at the moment. That's a relief.

Since she turned out to be kind of a nice person.

...

Oh yeah, Ellis.

I can't believe I almost forgot about her.

...

It still feels awkward between us.

Sadness or Anger.

It was none of those.

Because It just felt weird in the first place.

I don't wanna think about it too much.

I'll just sleep for now.

...

...

...

I can't sleep.

I've just been lying down for the past 20 min.

Ugh...

I look complacently outside my window while still laying down.

?

What...

is that sound?

It coming from the window.

It sounds like...

Scratching?

What...

Is that?

Is that?

WHO IS THAT?

I quickly jolt up from my bed and blink rapidly.

I walk up to my window and check the lock on it

I walk up to my window and check the lock on it.

It's still intact at least...

Was I just imagining things?

...

Probably, I am really tired after all.

I fall on my bed again.

At least I can sleep now I guess...

...

...

Time for another tomorrow.

I-I almost got caught!

Maybe I should just listen to him...

He's really cute when he's sleeping though...

...

Just a few more hours couldn't hurt, right?
