Elijah looked down, he didn't think he felt shame but he felt something that only made him feel more pathetic. "I feel everyone needs a chance, and sometimes people at the bottom need a friend. Being difficult doesn't necessarily make someone a bad person. Besides, your family are the only nice ones who care to be friends with me." He said that though he thought Ben thought himself above these people and he wasn't as high as he thought. His friends attacked Noah for what he did to Alice. He was more of a troublemaker than he realized, but Elijah knew he was a good person at heart just with different idea of morals and justice. "People get rougher when it's all they face in life, so I want to try to change that. It doesn't mean I wouldn't be friends with others if the offer came, but I guess I know better."
