Elijah and Erin

"You don't need to back off Erin, I just didn't know how to tell you that I don't get involved with anyone and no offense but especially young women. I'm just not that kind of man." I told her. I hope I wasn't being rude. I mean sometimes I didn't care for human's emotions but I didn't have to be rude to someone who wasn't being rude to me.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "How old do you think I am? I am doing my senior year as I am about to turn 19. Great to know you think I am young though." I muttered slightly. Crossing my arms I could feel my hear being ripped out of my chest. For some reason, I found it hard to hear those words from Elijah. They pained me you could say. I do not know why, but I wanted Elijah to notice me more than just a 'young woman'.

I could see that I did hurt Erin. "Listen, you may be 19 but believe me when I say that is very young for me and also it doesn't matter what age you are, as of right now I don't get involved with women and probably won't for a little while longer. I have too much on my plate for a romantic relationship." I told her. Just about all I said was true. I didn't want to get involved right now and just didn't see the point in it.

Letting out a sigh I ran a hand through my long hair. "I shouldn't of tried..." I muttered to myself. I wanted to scream at myself for how much of an idiot I was to think that a guy like Elijah would go with a girl like me. I mean, I didn't blame him. He did see like he had a lot on his plate. I should of just left this man alone and not sat by him. I should of just walked past and ignored him. I wanted to rewind time and change it all.

"Erin this doesn't mean we can't be friends or anything. If theres anything I've learned at all while living is that friends are your most important allies." I said. I may not want to be with her romantically but I wasn't the kind of man either to turn away a friendship. Having human friends reminds you of your humanity.

I looked at him with my innocent blue eyes. Another sigh escaped my lips. "F-Fine..." I knew I was still going to be heart-broken, but what could I do? I couldn't control Elijah into liking me. We were just going to be friends for now I guess. I mean, I couldn't force Elijah. He is a person who needed to make his own decisions and he said he wasn't interested in dating anyone right now. I would leave him be. They were his wishes.

I didn't know what else I needed to say so I just went back to my drink and finished it off. I normally don't care when I hurt a humans feelings but as I said about not having to be rude to someone who wasn't being rude to you made me feel bad that I hurt her feelings but atleast I had been honest. "I am terribly sorry." I told her.

I shook my head with a slightly smile on my lips. "It is fine Elijah. I was just so happy to finally find someone to talk to and me being a girl, it is my nature to be flirty with guys." I shrugged my shoulders to show that I did not mind that he rejected me. I just wanted to be brave in front of him.

"We can still talk but it can be nothing more than that." I told her.

I nodded my head as I already knew that. Why did he have to repeat it when it only did cause more pain to my heart? "I understand Elijah..." I whispered as I looked out the window, still away from him.

There was nothing more I could say. I knew I had hurt her but hinestly it was for her own good. I didn't want a reltionship and even if I did I would not let anyone get tangled into the messes that I am in. So we sat there in what I assume was an awkward silence.

Yet another sigh escaped my lips as I stated, "I should go home soon though Elijah, but maybe we could still stay in contact and just be friends?" Yes I knew those words did hurt me a bit, but it was Elijah's wishes to not be with a girl like me. A nobody.
