She had been up since 730 that morning, unable to really sleep in the new space finally just dressing in her little pink running shorts, trainers, grey tank top and the blue hoodie that Janie use to wear on their runs. It still smelled like her favorite body butter. <br/><br/>The scent alone drove Ella into the foggy autumn morning as she stretched. She wept softly and refused to let these strangers see these tears. Sharing a room was hard enough and there was no way Ella was giving anyone ammunition against her. Her mother had worked that hard magic on her all too often. Using Ella's love of her litter brother to torment her. No. No Ma'am. Doors are closed tight. The run had started out as a long walk to orient herself to the surroundings, then she began her slow paced jog. Her classes were not till after lunch it seemed so she had time. Lot's of it. <br/><br/>Blue Swede was blaring again as the album was on a loop. This had to be the sixth time she heard the whole thing, yet it never got old. Janie and she loved GotG, both thinking Groot was the real hero. That was their little thing, they were secret nerds together. <em> Shake it off Ragsdale</em> she chastized herself shaking her head. Maybe wearing her ex's hoodie was not the best idea ever. But it was one of the few tangible things she had left of their relationship and was not really ready to give it up. <br/><br/>She had managed to run around the campus at least once before making it back to the track outside of the gym. Beginning her warm down, Ella ignored most of the other joggers, the music doing it's job to drowning out the sounds. Her sunglasses doing a good job of hiding her red rimmed eyes from crying behind that large oak when she paused to take a breath while her memories overwhelmed her. They could not see her eyes and therefore no well intended inquires would be made after her. She could just run and run and run...at least she hoped so..until there was shift in the sun on her right.<br/><br/>The music was on auto shuffle as 'Fooled Around And Fell In Love' came on, as she looked to her right there was this mind blowing tall drink of water jogging next to her and smiling at her. Whoa. The other woman said something but Ella did not catch it. The woman winked at her and then jogged away before collapsing on a bench. Slowing down Ella felt like someone had just punched her in the stomach in that butterfly way, pressing her hand to that aching place in her stomach.The sweat trickled heavily now, walking over to the benches she removed the tiny pink earbud from her ear. <br/><br/><strong> "I'm sorry, I did not catch that at all...what did you say?</strong> she asked the lithe creature. There was a war brewing in the back of Ella's mind, was this a come on? What the...heck? Her jet black eyebrows furrowed as she gazed over the other runner. Deep in her gut there was a twitch, something she had felt before a long time ago.  <br/>    <br/><br/></span></span>
