I went to the kitchen to start washing the dirty plates then went over to grab the cups we had used. I needed a distraction and I still wasn't sure how to feel about what happened today. What was I supposed to feel after hearing what Elliot said or about my behavior? He said I didn't have to be alone and I believed his words because he's been there when I needed help. Even when I wanted to be alone, he never wanted to leave my side. Why couldn't it have been like this before... I paused after I realized what I just thought about and closed my eyes. I finished washing the last of the dishes and dried my hands before returning to the living room.
“I'm gonna fix my room so there's room for you to sleep,” I said as I walked over to my door.
“Let me help you,” Elliot said as he got up.
“No, it's fine.”
“I'm just helping you clean. It's the least I can do for coming over unannounced,” he said as he began picking up some of the clothes I had left on the floor.
