you are bored out of your mind.

you were supposed to hang out today with ellie but jesse came knocking on her door insisting that she come with him because he has "something" to show her. it's been two hours since. that leads you here, in her house, sitting on her bed. dying of boredom.

you spotted ellie's guitar on the corner of the house near her table. you've seen her play it a couple of times before so you're not strangers with the guitar. you picked it up praying that ellie doesn't stab you in the neck for touching her stuff. but hey, you're bored and hopefully this will cure it.

you went back to her bed and positioned the guitar on your lap. now, you're not an expert. hell you don't even know how to play. you're just strumming the strings just to have something to do.

you try to copy ellie when she's playing but you scarcely recognize the melody she played for you before. the thoughts of ellie stop the movements of you fingers. you try not to think of it, but god, her tattooed forearm, her fingers, her voice. just the sequence of events of ellie in front of you, playing her guitar for you. it makes you somehow warm on the inside. the way she would maintain eye contact while singing in her silky voice.

the sound of the door opening put a stop to a reverie your currently having. the sound of boots hitting the wooden floor is now prominent and you realized ellie's home. you hastily tried to put down the guitar but you were seconds late. and before you knew it she's already a few inches in front of you.

"ellie," you breathed, feeling somehow caught. she, mumbled a 'hey' back and proceeds to remove her thick jacket. you continue to place the guitar down when ellie stopped you by grabing it by the neck.

"sorry, i took too long. jesse's being an ass and not letting me leave." she said with a little laugh. she sits beside you and placed the guitar on her lap, she hangs her arms in position that mimics playing.

"i was just dying, man. because of boredom." you replied, stretching the 's' in because. she responded a little 'i know' while laughing.

you groaned and glared at her and she just softly smiled at you. that smile, you wanted to kiss slap that smile off her face. you averted your eyes and settled it in the guitar instead, prompting her to look at the guitar too.

"hey uh, i want to play something for you." she said while staring at the guitar as if she's talking to it. but of course, she's talking to you. who else would she be talking to?

you fold your legs in front of you and wrapped your arms against it. and placed your chin on your knees and nod with a small 'okay'. she cleared her throat and began strumming.

it's soft. like you can literally feel the love and adoration just by listening at the melody. you wanted to close your eyes and let your ears enjoy the tunes that gradually pours out of the guitar. but ellie, does she look angelic. the way she's humming with every strum, her hair in its usual bun with bits and pieces falling, perfectly framing her face. her eyebrows slightly scrunched due to concentration.

the sunlight pouring out of her open window 15 minutes before sun sets. golden hour. it hits the side of her face perfectly, seemingly making her glow and god, her eyes. the way the sun reflects on it, making it appear lively and bright green colour. it's so lovely it makes you want to cry.

you softly smiles and admire the melody and ellie. just by staring at her makes your insides warm and your heart full. you feel contented yet feels like something is missing same time. how long have you been feeling like this?

you wanted to cherish ellie, you wanted her to stay with you and you only. you wanted just to look into her eyes and get lost in them.

you feel at ease. always have when you're with ellie. she feels solace. she is your solace. you realize that now.

you didn't even noticed that the strumming has stopped. not until you felt her hands on your cheeks. she swiped the tears that fell from your eyes and runs in your cheeks.

"you're crying." she softly whispered.
