Elle knew her brother was having a hard time, she was feeling the same way wanting to hole herself up in her room and not care about the world, just wanting the hurt to go away... the world didn't work that way and she still had to go to school and work. Living with Eric wasn't too bad. They never had to worry about awkward moments, most of the time they walked around near naked wearing just their underwear most of the time. It was no big deal to walk from the shower to her room naked instead of bringing a towel with her to the bathroom, not like they've never seen each other naked before... to that effect bringing home a guest never happened, at least not while the other was home.. Eric paid his share of the bills, except for late as he went on leave from work when... Their parents were helping pay bills so Eric could move through this and hopefully get over it eventually.<br/><br/>Knowing that Eric wanted to be alone, she knew she would want to be left alone in his shoes... also knowing that he had to eat something sometime Elle brought up a bowl of hamburger helper, not gourmet but it was food and better than getting something from a fast food place. Knocking on the door Elle yelled through the door<strong>"Eric, Come on.. you have to eat something... If you wont come down at least eat in there.. please.."</strong>It hurt her to know that Eric was hurting, he was a part of her and she felt horrible that he couldn't move on.<br/><br/>Setting the plate down on the ground next to the door, along with a fork and can of soda Elle made her way down the stairs, looking back over her shoulder to see if he had opened his door or not... Letting out a sigh Elle turned her head back around before making her way to the kitchen, to eat alone... again...
