Saving Grace

Chapter 2- Wyatt

Me and Ella were playing xbox together, like we usually do. We were playing Minecraft and just messing around in our randomized drops world. Then Wyatt joined.

Wyatt is Ella's second cousin on her dad's side of the family. They hadn't seen each other for a long time but recently Ella went to Alabama to visit Wyatt and his family. She didn't have very much interest for Wyatt's brother Roman, but immediately she was disgusted and intrigued by the way Wyatt wiggled his doggies and by the fact that he was the only person barefoot. Feet disgusted Ella– why was he barefoot? She joked about the way they "waved at her". Now, on a less putrid note, let's talk about their interactions. Ella had a lot of fun with Wyatt and loved hanging out with him. She would ask him to rock her to sleep and they would take really goofy pictures together. Sadly, since Ella loves when animals rub against her in the nude, she manhandled his cat Rudy which frustrated the poor creature. Overall, this led Ella and Wyatt to develop a deeper connection and they remained in contact after she left. Hours would pass by and Ella would still blissfully talk to Wyatt. Besides Sabastian at the start of their relationship (and hopefully me too), Wyatt is one of the only people who has ever made her feel so genuinely loved and cared for. Often feeling troubled, alone, or just hopeless- neglected and mistreated by her own flesh and blood on a daily basis, Ella turned to Wyatt for advice, for someone to vent to, or just to receive some reaffirmation or love. Equally, Wyatt loves Ella just as much, feeling as though she is a light in his world; they both reflect and compliment each other flawlessly, in my opinion.

Immediately, I was comforted by his voice– funny considering I was about to cuss him out. The first thing I did was re-explain all of the stories Ella told him about me but from my perspective. He laughed. His laugh made me feel really happy; that kind of aggravated me because I was so ready to cuss this cracker out. Over time, my feelings of contempt drifted away and I was nothing but relaxed. Every time he finished talking, I eagerly waited to hear him speak again. Every time I made him laugh, I felt all warm inside. Whenever he would say my name right, and not Adios, it made me feel really flattered that he learned and said my name right (I know a lot of people who just settle with Aries [AIR-REEZ]). This man sincerely made me laugh, smile, and feel appreciated all in a single day– that's when I knew that he wasn't just another guy to me.
