From HereAs Ellie walked away from Jack's room, the tears just kept coming. She wanted to find Alice, to confide in her sister all the pain that was in her right now. But Ellie hadn't seen her sister all day, and in her present state, she wasn't about to go looking for her either. All she could hope for is that her sister turned up soon

Salene walked over and sat down next to Ellie, watching her for a moment before speaking, "Ellie? Honey what's wrong?" Salene put a comforting hand on her back and gave her a gentle rub, "What happened, who did what to you?" This statement, how could they do this to me, alarmed Salene. Who had done what to Ellie? She'd be sure to give them an earful! Only, sometimes Ellie was a bit, over reactive to some things, so Salene wanted to make sure that this was serious before she went off on a rampage. Her mind instantly landed on Jack and Luke, and she sighed, she hoped this wasn't about them, but it was a sticky situation, one Ellie would have to make hard choices over, and for just a moment Salene really hoped that Ellie wasn't in a state over them right now.

Ellie was a little startled by Salene's emergence. She hadn't known that people were around. Sure it was the mall and there was always someone around, but Ellie thought that she was alone. Harshly wiping away her tears, Ellie tried to calm down a bit before facing Salene. Taking slow breaths, she tried to respond.

"Salene, I don't know what to do. I went to apologize to Jack, and he, he told me that Luke and him are going to ignore me. Until I make a decision." A decision. This aspect never really hit her as hard as it did now. If - no when she choose, what were the chances that both Jack and Luke would stay in her life. Her choice would also cost her a friendship. That was a risk Ellie wasn't exactly thrilled to take.

Ellie sighed. "I'm really scared, but I know that eventually I'll have to make a decision. But for them to ignore me? I just can't believe they would do something like that."

Salene set her jaw, frowning heavily, that was entirely unfair of both of them, what were they playing at? Ellie was already in an emotionally fragile state, it was never easy to choose between two guys, Salene herself knew that the best, and rejection could really mess with a girls mind. Salene knew Ellie was delicate at times, she'd almost jumped from the roof not a year ago, before the Techno's took her away. Whatever they had done to her certainly couldn't have helped, though Ellie and Jack were in the same camp, at least, that was the understanding Salene had. "Ellie shh shh honey it's ok," she comforted, hugging her

Ellie showed a small smirk at Salene's joke about pasta fights, and gave her a small, hug to show her thanks before responding. "Thanks for siding with me Salene, and if I could, I wouldn't choose either of them. But I love them both, that's what makes this so hard." Ellie sighed, slightly relieved that she finally told someone that.

"I don't know if I'll be able to choose, Salene. Your right, I was ready to do anything to get Jack back when he was taken. But I had just lost Alice, and Luke had left, and I just couldn't handle another loss." She looked down, and paused for a moment, trying to find the right words. "I know I've loved Jack longer, and that he is - was my best friend, but there's something about Luke that I just can't ignore. Even after he left, I couldn't help but still have feelings for him

Salene listened and nodded, that was a difficult place Ellie was in, she seemed as if she'd thought it all through, and the boys weren't making it any easier on Ellie, or themselves. She'd have to have talks with both of them, but this time as a friend, and not an angry mother Tribal leader. Salene gave her a soft smile of sympathy, "I know it's hard, you have to listen to your heart then, do what it tells you. No one can make this choice for you, and in the end someone is going to get hurt. Just make sure that no matter what, you do what you must in a compassionate way," Salene nodded her head softly to make her point and gave Ellie's hand a little squeeze
