This was really good. Not that I didn’t like Gabe’s story, but I think Eli’s was the best. To see what Emersyn, goes through is tough. Yet at the same time seeing how close her and Eli are just makes me wonder, why weren’t already together to begin with? Obviously you can see they were so meant to be, how could they of not seen it sooner? Being best friends what, since they were ten. That’s a lot.
“I’m seriously surprised the mirror didn’t shatter.” “Whatever,” she replied. When my gaze zeroed in on the area directly above her cleavage, Emersyn shoved me. “Jeez, didn’t you get a good enough look a few minutes ago?” “What are you talking about?” “You’re staring at my boobs.” I laughed. “Trust me, I’m not staring at your tits.” “You could have fooled me,” she huffed, pulling the towel tighter against her. “You still have the scar.” “Excuse me?” With my index finger, I motioned to the slightly discolored area below her collarbone. “The scar you got that time we were climbing trees.” Emersyn’s eyes widened. “You remember that?” “You scared the hell out of me. No lie. I can still hear the thump sound when you fell to the ground.” Pinching her eyes shut, Emersyn began reliving the memory. “You were reaching your hand out to me when my foot slipped on the limb. A branch jabbed me in the chest as I fell. When I landed, it knocked the breath out of me.” Her eyes popped open as a small smile curved on her lips. “I’ll never forget the look on your face—you were pale as a sheet. The worst part was I couldn’t tell you I was all right.” I grinned. “I’m not going to lie I probably pissed my pants a little that day.”
I love Eli’s caring, loving, protectiveness when it comes to Emersyn and how he does and will do anything to make her, feel happy and better again when she’s so depressed.
Again I feel really sorry for what Emersyn had to go through, but come on, lol did her and Eli bump their heads at some point? How did they not see their connect a lot sooner, haha.
“Words can lie, but the heart never will. With every beat, it brings in love and gives it out. That’s why it’s the strongest muscle in the body.”
The whole time you just can’t help but fall more and more in love with the way Eli truly cares for Emersyn. You also can’t help rooting for the both of them, even when they both secretly are afraid to take that step and are also, afraid that they could lose their friendship.
Emersyn can’t help but feel guilty one minute then scared of not having Eli there for her the next. She knows she can’t keep feeling depressed the way she does and has to let her self be happy and to live. Sometimes it’s not always that easy and you just have to learn to take each day one at a time.
“Sometimes you had to go through the darkest times to appreciate the blessing of light in your life. Sometimes you found that the other half you had been desperately searching for all your life had been standing next to you all along.”
Eli and Emersyn are really special and I just love how they’re
story ends. It breaks your heart at times, but truly is the best.
