Elle Olsen

## Personality

Dean and Elle’s relationship started off very difficult. Whilst Dean later reveals that he had been in love with Elle since the first time he met her at the Sutcliffe party, where she accidentally bumped into him on her way out with Dean’s cousin, he was very good at hiding it by acting out and practically bullying her. Despite being harsh on Elle, Dean claims that he only did it to protect her seeing as he couldn’t physically protect her without showing that he truly cared. Dean was afraid of showing that he cared because he was not used to being in love.

Dean admits to using other girls to attempt to forget Elle, but he fails to do so every time.

Whenever his cousin brought Elle to their house, Dean would watch them in anger and jealousy.

After witnessing the accident that Niko caused via an accidental voice recording Elle had sent to him, Dean begins growing more and more overprotective despite still pretending to hate her.

Even on bad terms, Dean would always protect Elle, he would defend her whenever she wasn’t around, and he would beat people up if they so much as looked at her wrong. Everyone around them could see through their pretending, but they couldn’t, Dean believed Elle hated him for being him, and Elle did so too.

In the end, Dean had been the only one that had stood by Elle since the very beginning besides Ivy. In the second book, Dean and Elle are married, successful and have a daughter together, and even after 20 years, Dean and Elle are very much in love with each other.

Niko and Elle first meet in a basketball court in her neighborhood. Elle’s first impression of Niko is that he comes from wealth, however humble enough to be seen with lower-class. Their first meet is rather awkward as both cannot seem to stop looking at each other which ultimately results in Niko breaking his nose from receiving a basketball to the face by Clyde whilst being distracted. Niko was infatuated with Elle at first sight, he would later on call it "love at first sight".

Elle and Niko meet again at the Sutcliffe Party where he meets her best friend, Billie, and her two close friends, Tara and Tessa. Niko takes Elle away from her friends and has some alone time with her where he also gets to know her a little better. When Niko realizes that parties are not specifically Elle’s favorite thing in the world, he offers to take her someplace quieter where the both could relax. Niko takes Elle to the top of Laguna Hills where they observe the city together. Elle and Niko share their first kiss under the stars and the beautiful city lights.

Despite having just met, Elle and Niko quickly warmed up to each other and started dating not long after. Although Kane had warned Elle about getting in a new relationship so quickly, she disregards his concerns as she believes she is in love with him.

Their honey moon phase quickly wears off when Niko suddenly begins acting rather different, less sweet and caring.

Whilst Elle is unaware that Niko suffers from bipolar, and has been purposefully skipping his meds, she believes that she is at fault. Niko begins getting into fights which highly upset Elle. After one of Niko’s rage outbreaks, Elle suggests they go for a drive to cool off. Niko begins driving maniacally, scaring Elle nearly to death, and the both get into a car accident. Elle later finds out she had accidentally recorded the accident and sent it to Dean, and that he now knew the truth about the accident which Niko and Elle had covered up as a freak accident.

From there on, Elle was scared of Niko, of what he was capable of doing, so she continues protecting him from Dean who attempts to expose his cousin for his abuse. Their relationship eventually comes to an end when Niko is caught cheating on Elle with Paris.
