It infuriated Carter the more Ella spoke, the boy just wanting to pull out his hair and shout curses to the God’s for having to put up with her in the moment. Unfortuantely for Carter, he loves her, and despite how much he tries to divert his feelings or interest in Ella, the fact that he cares about her so much won’t allow him to walk away from the toxic situation. “I’m not fucking expecting you to live up to an expectation, I just figured if you fucking care about me, even in the slightest that you’d try. It isn’t that fucking hard Ella, it isn’t brain science. I get that you have your fucking issues, and I know what it’s like being at that point and I understand it but you’re making the choice to isolate yourself and be alone, you say that’s all you know how to do but it’s because you’re not letting yourself develop. You’re going to stick yourself in a fucking ditch, trying to protect yourself from developing feelings and you’re going to hate yourself because I may not be the guy but you’re going to love someone and you’re going to let them go and you’re going to regret it and the only person you can blame is yourself for not trying.” Carter had experienced that, hes been through the whole not feeling like enough, not doing enough and then losing someone he thought could’ve possibly have been the one. “You know what, I’m just preaching to the unconvinced right now. You have and that’s why I can’t be mad at you. I decided to still go after you even after knowing that you’re not into me that way.” Letting out a sigh, “Yeah, that’s cool, I hope you get there at some point, Ella. I’ll be rooting for you.” He forced a smile wanting to just be alone now. As much as he didn’t want her to go earlier, he couldn’t stand the sight of her right now, not when his heart was hurting. “Do you want me to call you a car or will you be good?” He asked, moving to dress himself, he didn’t feel right being naked and vulnerable at the same time in front of someone he cares about so much with feelings that aren’t reciprocated.
The blonde would look at him with both of her brows raised, “Yes you are. You’re expecting me to hang around and cuddle because you think that’s going to somehow change my view on relationships or something. Maybe it isn’t that hard for you.” Now she scoffed as she shook her head, “Don’t you dare even attempt to pretend that what you’re worried about is my own good. Just because you experience things one way doesn’t mean that I experience them the same way. So stop projecting that bullshit onto me. Enough with this fucking pity party. If I didn’t think that we were friends, or didn’t give a shit about you, I wouldn’t even be here right now.” She didn’t expect him to understand where she was coming from because she knew that even though it didn’t seem like much to him, sleeping with the same person on a somewhat regular basis was actually kind of a step forward for her. “You’ll be rooting for me?” she had to laugh in disbelief, shaking her head again at the thought “I don’t even think you realize how condescending you are sometimes. Sitting up there on your high horse looking down at me in my ditch” she nearly spat the words he used back at him. Collecting her bag and her phone, Ella headed to the door, “I’ll be fine.” That was something she reassured herself of on a daily basis. The girl wouldn’t even allow herself to look back as she walked out, letting the door close behind her.
