Forced Withdrawals [Nox's Building]

[Elyse]

Sterling was a firecracker, and kind of vicious. Elyse almost felt sorry for Liam. The poor kid was being called out in front of everyone. It also made her think there was more to the story than Sterling was saying. Things had probably begun to escalate farther than they should. What had caused a hormone fueled teenage boy to back off would likely be interesting.

It came to Elyse quickly. If that was the case, they had gotten caught. There were very few areas where they could have gone where they weren’t on camera. Breaking the two apart would be a good idea. She might think she was ready, but Sterling wasn’t. Girls that age weren’t.

Even if all of that wasn’t the case, Nox could be a scary guy, and Sterling wasn’t just a kid. She was his cousin, and her parents didn’t like him. If her parents found out - well it would be rough for a lot of people. But none of that was her place - Christ how did she give this girl advice without shoving it down her throat. Sterling had a rebellious streak. Telling her not to do something would mean she’d do it on principal.

But at least Elyse was ready for some ice cream. That wouldn’t be a bad choice. ”Its not all about talking crap about boys - sometimes, you just need girl time. Come on - ice cream.” Elyse smiled and offered her hand to the wayward teen. So many hormones in such a small space. It was going to be a lot.
