Elias knew it was coming. He could tell by the smug look on his face that daniel was going to let him have it. And good reason too. He knew what he was doing was wrong, but he had no choice. Daniel would never understand that. Hopefully Alana would.
DANIEL- “I knew you would do something like this to her, Eli….do you realize that you are all she has, besides her father? No siblings, no friends here, no one. She was counting on you to help her with this. And what do you do? Once again you disappoint her because of your own selfish needs. It’s always about you. It is never about anyone else, is it? Who was there for you last year when you had whatever it was you had when Henry left your ass??? It was Alana. She was there for you, and what about all the other times over the course of your life?? She has always been there for you Eli, but whenever she needs you, well forget it……”
Alana has came back and looks at Eli and smiles…
ALANA- “Daniel, stop. Listen Eli, I understand, I do, but this time I can’t accept it. I’m sorry, but Daniel is right. I really need you in this. But I understand. I don’t like it but it is what it is. Go, do what you have to do. I will be fine. Come on Daniel, we need to go if we are going to make that car show….”
ELIAS- “Alana, please try and understand It’s not that I want to go now, but if I don’t---
ALANA- “Please, Eli, don’t try and convince me. I get it. It’s important. So is a wedding and the birth of a baby...your god child. But go ahead, you do what you have to. I will see you whenever you get back.”
With that Alana turns and heads towards the door. Of course Daniel has to rub in the guilt before he exits….
DANIEL- “Hope you are happy, Eli. All these hormones she is going through is making her even more anxious and upset. So you just added to that. Classic Eli. Go play with your witches. Hope you have fun!”
