1x1 with Maggy and Hazel #2

Ellie
"But I can't stay" I say, "I have to go back to New York"

"I say that you can stay, are you deaf?"Zach said, the tensity in his voice raising.

Ellie
"I am grateful that you are letting me stay, but I have business at home I need to attend to" I say "I really do need to head back home, this is the only flight for quite a while"

"That's because there's a fucking thunderstorm rising!"Zach nearly yelled.

Ellie
"Yes so that is why I need to catch this flight" I snapped.

"Please. Stay. You can leave after this storm passes."Zach said, his voice changing considerably.

Ellie
I sighed and lowered my head to the fall, my hair falling to cover my face. "Fine. I will stay but I'm catching the next plane" I say, tucking some hair behind my ear.

"Good,"Zach said dropping onto the sofa completely, but backwards, sitting in the same strange, gravity-defying position like he was when Aisha and Joseph visited.

Ellie
I sighed and opened my case again pulling out a few items to last me the next few days. I glanced at Zachariah, before placing my case away in the corner.

Zach smiled slightly at her, unsure what to do.

Ellie
I glanced at him and flashed a small smile. "I guess it is stupid going on a long plane journey when a storm is due." I say sitting on the sofa.

"You guess,"Zach snorted before muttering,"Idiot."

Ellie
I scowled at him, picking up the book I borrowed and finding the page I was reading.
(Skip?)

(yeah)

Ellie
I felt my phone buzz beside me, I lean over to grab it, scanning the text I received "Well that's just fucking brilliant" I burst out.

"What's the word, hummingbird?"Zach asked looking up from his book.

Ellie
"Drew has broken his paw" I sighed. "I need to get to New York, so I can take him to the vet" I add, glancing at Zachariah

"Okay. How do you plan to do that?"Zach asked putting his book down.

Ellie
"I have no idea. Trains I guess" I say, standing up and grabbing my case.

"Okay,"Zach said, feeling slightly awkward. Should he help?

Ellie
"Managed to trap his paw in a drain. Dumb dog" I say, shoving stuff in my bag.

"No comment,"Zach said still feeling a bit strange.

Ellie
I sighed and went to grab some more stuff. "Where is the nearest train station?" I asked him.

"Umm, it's kinda hard to explain.. Want me to show you?"Zach asked.

Ellie
"Would you be able to? It would help a lot" I say, stuffing more stuff into a rucksack.
