It's Been Awhile || Eli && Morgan
It had been awhile since Eli had gone to seen Morgan. As close friends as they were, Eli had let a wedge be driven between them ever since she and Jordan had begun their relationship. He never liked the guy, he was always so arrogant and cocky about every single thing in Eli's eyes, and although he usually got along with everyone and anyone, Jordan was someone he just couldn't stand to be around for too long. He tried to explain his emotions about Morgan's new love interest to the brunette multiple times, but every time he did, it would end in an ugly argument, leaving the both of them hurt and exhausted. Over time it put a serious strain on their friendship, they're conversations became shorter and shorter, the phone calls and text messages were sent and received less and less. It left Eli in a bad place, not only did he know he was losing his best friend, he had lost his job, Elle and him were no longer together, and his grades has slipped a bit, all of which was his fault.
The only person he was willing to talk to about any of it with, and the only person he felt he had left, was his sister, Mariza. There were nights he would sneak into her room and crawl into her bed only to cuddle up next to her and unleash his uncontrollable sobs that he had been holding in all day. One night as he was confiding in Mariza, she had let it slip that Morgan and Jordan had cut it off, and that Morgan seemed to be pretty upset and distraught about the entire situation. Even with their issues in the recent past, Eli still hated the thought of his best friend being in any kind of pain and immediately felt guilty that all the time he had been wallowing in his own self pity, he had failed to be there for Morgan when she needed him most. It had to be well past three in the morning, but Eli didn't care, he needed to see Morgan, tell her he was sorry for being so stupid and letting something as dumb as Jordan get in the way of their friendship; he needed to make sure she was okay and if she wasn't, he needed to make sure she was at least comforted.
Kissing Mariza on the cheek, he slid himself out of his sister's embrace and went to put on something other than his pajamas. He managed to find a sweatshirt and a pair of jeans, sliding on his shoes before he headed out the door with his keys on the lanyard around his neck. The streets were empty, maybe one or two cars passing Eli as he made his way to Morgan's home. It was only a matter of ten minutes before he pulled into her empty driveway, remembering that Kelvin usually took a five day vacation around this time of year, alone, which Morgan had to have been alone for a couple days now. He turned off his car and took a deep breath, he hadn't seen Morgan in what seemed like months, what if she just shut the door in his face? What if she was angry with him for being the idiot he had been for all this time? The longer he sat in his car the more horrid the possibilities of what was going to happen next became. He shook his head, clearing away any negative thoughts from his mind before he psyched himself out completely and drove home. He stepped out of drivers seat and made his way up to her front door, he knocked on it with his signature knock that he had been known to do on the Benson door, not even knowing if she was awake, but now all he could do was stand on her doorstep and wait.
