How very cruel – as if moving was<i>her</i>choice? Still, that did suggest that her sudden absence had an effect on<s>her</s>him. Did it make him feel just as lost and disconnected as she had? From Kindergarten to middle school and all of a sudden she had nothing. The void Felicia had left gaping wide just couldn’t be filled by anything else, no matter how many friends she made. No one clicked. No other puzzle piece matched. Had Felicia felt the same? Did Felix<i>still</i>feel that way?<br/><br/>Ellie sniffed, tears stinging at the corners of her eyes as she tried her damnedest to stamp it all back. Still she could feel her throat constrict all the same, and she just buried her face against his chest all the harder. Why did he– she– gah!<i>He</i>have to say something like that? Why did he have to seem so<i>affected</i>? As if she still mattered…<br/><br/>And why did she want to<i>sob</i>when happiness was swelling so large in her chest she felt she might actually burst?<br/><br/>“Yeah, me too.” Ellie agreed with a watery laugh as she rubbed at her eyes with the base of her palms. Only to freeze a moment later when she realized what she had just said. “I meant for me!” Her eyes widened up at her friend worriedly. “I hope that<i>I</i>grow a few more inches too.” She nearly stammered. Jeez, why was she acting so silly? She was actually<i>nervous</i>. Would Felix like her just as much as Felicia had? She didn’t want to fuck this up…<br/><br/>“<i>What?</i>” Ellie suddenly choked, her eyes bugging out like some sort of cartoon. “Look at you with all the moves.” She swipes away his hand and bursts out laughing – though she was pink as a strawberry. “<i>Flirt</i>.” She accused, shoving against his shoulder playfully. “If you think you’re not half as pretty as me when you’re<i>three times</i>more gorgeous, you’ve got some serious eye problems.” She snickered, rolling her eyes. It was so like Felicia though. She had always had issues with her self image all along – although Ellie hadn’t understood it back then.<br/><br/>“You have no idea how much I missed you.” She grinned as she took his hand and started to lead him further into the woods. “Let’s explore while we talk.” Neither of them were ever really capable of sitting still. It felt like one of the reasons they went along so well. “We live in Denver now. At first we lived in Northgate to be closer to my brother while he went through boot camp – and my mom really liked dating those airforce boys.” She snickered. “But eventually she got a bad reputation,” And various other things happened… “So now we’re in Denver. Still living out of a trailer though.” She sighed and shrugged.<br/><br/>“But I’m more curious about you.” She grinned as she released his hand, almost forgetting she had it for a moment there. “How did my bestie become such a hot guy? I bet you’re really popular back home.” She remarked as she started climbing her way up onto a large rock that sat there for no particular reason. It was strange to think about, but for whatever reason the idea of Felicia… er, Felix, being<i>popular</i>kind of made her feel…lonely? She didn’t like it at all. Not one bit.<br/>
