Ely
ely had a meetin with his group regarding bruce's vanising. he recounts what happened int he club. they only had 2 conversations and both of them rushed and he hadn't made an effort to come back. ely wanted bruce wot be different since he is an f&r man(fuck and run) so in Bruce he waited.
"You’re giving up. You’re slipping into being miserable, because if you’re miserable, then it’s all about you again. But it’s not all about you. Love doesn’t work that way.”
ely figured out that it is never easy. that things that matter are not easy and would do something to make things better.
"No. No no no no. It is not easy. Things that matter are not easy. Feelings of happiness are easy. Happiness is not. Flirting is easy. Love is not. Saying you’re friends is easy. Being friends is not."
"I’m saying it to all of them. But really, I’m saying it most to Shaun. To Bruce. To Naomi. Not because I think it’s all my fault—I know it’s not all my fault. I guess I’m sorry is a way to say I want it to be better. Even if it’s difficult. Even if it hurts. I have to stop hiding behind who I am. I have to stop hiding behind the things other people expect from me and the things I expect from myself. I have to try."
Naomi
naomi felt like all his future expectaions is the hard part since they are all fantasy now. she alwasy thought that she and ely would get married. she feel like this is the same with her mother who also can't let her father go.
It’s as if Mom somehow expects a magic potion will come along and fix this lie we’re living in; ’til then, she’ll sleep.
naomi wants her mom to move on. she wakes her up and tells her that he is not coming back. she was able to get her mom to action. she knows that she should take ely back and do something but its a step at a time
Ely
ely is waiting by the stairwell where he and anomi hangs out and reminising on thier memories.
Life tells you to take the elevator, but love tells you to take the stairs.
naomi and ely reconciled. ely tells naomi that she screwed it up with bruce and naomi thinks hse screwed it up with Gabriel too. naomi tells her that she is failing and she might drop out ouf NYU and move away to a different place for her mom not to be trapped in a job she does not like. he asked naomi if they are ok and she says that they are. she goads him to get back bruce.
Naomi
naomi wanted to kiss Gabriel but he did not kiss her back instead says there is a better time for that after a date first. he instead kissed him at the back of his neck. ely chickened out with their plan so naomi went to his house to get him moving. she will be moving out and have to be ready for that. she will work in starbucks at the meantime and would want gabriel to see her in just her apron in the future.ely went to bruce the second's place.
Ely
I think about that as I head over to Bruce’s, and I think that as hard as we try, it still sometimes feels like we all speak different languages. Even if we share all the same words, meanings can be different. And the mistake isn’t in speaking the different languages, but in ignoring the fact. I thought Naomi and I had perfectly matched up our vocabularies and our definitions. But that’s just not possible. There are always meanings that are different, words that are heard differently than they’re said. There’s no such thing as a soulmate . . . and who would want there to be? I don’t want half of a shared soul. I want my own damn soul.
I think I’m going to learn to appreciate the word close. Because that’s what Naomi and I are. We’re close. Not all the way there. Not identical. Not soulmates. But close. Because that’s as far as you should ever get with another person: very, very close.
That’s what I want with Bruce, too.
I want to be close.
ely is at bruce the second's place. he explained to him why they haven't slept together and explained that he wanted to wait. in life, people see the worst in themselves and they need someone they trust to tell otherwise. once he got home, he tells gabriel that he should be good to naomi. at home, he sees naomi sleeping in his bed. he tells her that it went well. their knees touch and this is the closest they can be.
Friendship is love as much as any romance. And like any love, it’s difficult and treacherous and confusing. But in the moment when your knees touch, there’s nothing else you could ever want. they said goodnight to evreryone.
If you’re lucky—and if you try really hard—there will always be more than one.
