"I guess you wanted to prove to me how your presence is important to him"
"I did no such thing" Ella said
"He's not your property"
"Obviously he's not a thing but he's my friend He will definitely choose me over you" she said and the girl fumed
"He's not yours!!! Leave him alone he's not yours" the girl said and Eli appeared
"Don't raise your voice on her" he said and turned to ask Ella how she was
"Don't ever try to make her uncomfortable, i won't let it slide if I see tears in her eyes because of someone" he said and took her for lunch
"Was that girl bullying you"
"No" she said
"What did she tell you"
"She told me to leave you alone" she said
"You're not going to do that are you"
"Haha no way..... she also told me you're not mine and I said otherwise sorry if you hear such things" she said and he smiled
"I would do anything for you, If you tell me I would do it, if you call me yours I will be yours" he said
His feelings for her became stronger he didn't know what name to give to it but he loved the feeling whenever she's around
During their third year, Ella didn't return back to campus he became scared and went to her home but they weren't there, he asked his mom to call Roland but his line was off
"Mom I can't live without her, I need her. We're to live together" he said as he got sick
"Eli what's going on with you? Maybe they had an emergency and they left to somewhere" Bertha said
"She should have told me, given me an assurance that she will return"
"You rest after a week you will be alright" Bertha said and left
Eli wasn't feeling well, he felt ill for about a month and the doctors didn't know what was wrong with him
"Mom Ella is not ok please find her for me"
"Get better first"
"If she's fine then I will be" he said
After two weeks he was back to normal or not his mind created an illusion of her
He talked to her as if she was there, he went back to school and those girls who liked him were happy that girl was gone. Finally they had a chance with him but he was acting weird and he was too quiet
"Eli can we study together" one girl said
he looked ahead and the illusion of her didn't like it, he smiled
"No my girl wouldn't like it" he said and left
"Eli I like you, I have liked you for so long and I want to be your girlfriend?" Another said
"You can't be I already have a girlfriend" he said aside left
"Is he still seeing that girl?" The girl asked herself
He went through school with illusion of her
"Congratulation we graduated with good grades" he said and Ella's illusion smiled at him
He drew her every chance he got he didn't want to forget her
Time for college came
"I miss you I hope I see you again my Girl" he said to her illusion
"For the time being you're stuck with me until I see and feel the real person...… I changed a lot and I think you might have too….. how will I recognize you? Don't worry my heart will remember you" he said with smile to her illusion
"Let's head to college" he said and left home
When he arrived at the University his heart felt so heavy
"Ella is there something wrong with you?" He said placing his hand on his chest, calming his heart down
He got some water to drink and there he met someone, after drinking his water he head back to the place for their orientation on his way he bumped into a woman and they both held each other's hand facing the opposite directions.
his hand touched a woman and he didn't want to leave her hand and that girl didn't want to either it felt right before he could turn to look at her the students started crowing in and he lost her
"It's my mind playing tricks again" he said as he laid down on his bed
He always sat at the back of the class and he was mostly late and didn't actually cared about anyone
Most of the girls in his class liked him because he was rich, handsome and had a great personality
