For the most part Elle was handling the after effects of his kidnapping and imprisonment relatively well. She had been completely surrounded by support the moment they had returned to school. Her parents had come and Leia rarely left her side. Killian had been around, very much in the equally awkward yet comfort friend place they had manage to create over the last year. She was sure the awkwardness was just her. Since she was trying not to be obvious that she didn't want to just be friends with him. They had crossed the just friend’s line when they were 13. It felt wrong to go back.
The school also immediately put all the girls in to therapy. She attended twice a week. Elle didn't try to fight it. She followed their recommendations and it seemed to be helping. Most days she didn’t have much trouble. Even her jumpiness seemed to getting a bit better, at least during the day. Nighttime was the worse. She didn’t like being alone most of the time but at night in her dorm was the worse. It was where she was taken from and she could still feel that violation of her safe space. Normally she didn’t try to sleep until her roommate got home and then she could try to coach herself to sleep. Sometimes it was better than others.
This weekend for instance had not been good. Her roommate was away and Leia was spending the weekend in L.A. with Nat. Elle had pretty much been alone wince Friday afternoon, Which she had assured her overall concerned younger sister was fine. It wasn’t really though, she just wanted Leia to be able to enjoy herself. She had only managed a couple hours sleep the night before and had distracted herself today cleaning out excess books. One of those books had been a journal she had been keeping her freshman year. Back when she and Killian had been together. At least kinda since at that point their relationship had consisted of mostly letters.
Reading the journal for the second time that day didn't do anything to help all the feelings it stirred up in her the first time she had read it. As if the story had changed since the first time she read it this morning. But it had changed since she had wrote it. He was here and they were friends again and there could possibly be the chance for them. Elle didn’t even look at the time as she moved to start getting dressed. After much debate she finally settled on a sundress and sweater combo that she really hoped didn't look like she was trying too hard. She was going for a pretty but a natural pretty with her makeup and naturally wavy but styled red hair.
In all it was probably a solid hour and a half before she made her way to his dorm. She had no idea if Killian was even there as she knocked. It wasn't until after that she glanced at her phone and saw it was already past 10pm. Her eyes widened as she realized it might be far too late to be barging up to his door. But Killian had always been a bit of a night owl, right?
