Ch11: Abrelle Louise
Day 69
Today I wake up to the worst day of the year. The day I dread the most.
Luis Vasquez.
Three years ago today he was murdered.
A cold blooded murder and I'm mourning in the only way I can.
I'm currently sitting in my small shower allowing the cold water to hit my naked back.
"Lydia," Elliot exclaims "you've been showering for more than an hour."
I don't answer. He's been pressuring me for about ten minutes now.
"Lydia," he knocks harshly "I have to pee."
Rolling my eyes I decide maybe he's right. Maybe I should get out now.
"Fine," I turn the water off and wrap a towel around myself. I look at my reflection for a couple of seconds.
"It never should have been you Luis," I whisper "I'm so sorry."
Taking a deep breath I open the door and face Elliot who I've been avoiding lately.
"Finally," he growls and I roll my eyes at him before making my way to my room.
I hear Elliot slam the restroom door and I contain the urge to yell at him.
He's been keeping up with his famous bad boy reputation lately. Ever since I told him he was a sad pathetic excuse of a person.
Maybe I went overboard. No, he has to be mad at me. Its the only thing that stops him from being nice and it keeps my emotions at bay.
I change into some light blue jeans, a simple black lose tank top, some black sunglasses, a sun hat and some vans. I proceed to brush my hair and put on some light natrual makeup.
Today is going to be tough day.
I walk out of my room and make my way towards the fridge. Grabbing some left overs from last nights dinner I put them into the microwave.
"Just do it," I hear Elliot growl and I turn around and see him talking on the phone. He's wearing an angry smug look on his face as well as some dark jeans and a royal blue blazer over a plain v-neck shirt.
He looks good.
"I don't care," he hangs up and storms towards the fridge pulling out a beer.
He bought beer yesterday morning and has been drinking non-stop.
Rolling my eyes, again, I take my food out of the microwave and serve myself some water before sitting down on the table.
"Do we have anything other than left overs?" Elliot asks clearly annoyed.
"No," I answer.
"Great," he slams the fridge door "being poor is amazing."
I'm not going to fight him. Not today.
"I'm coming home late," I say as he sits down in front of me "I would appreciate it if you weren't drunk tonight."
Last night he came home so drunk I had to put him to bed and it's not something I'd like to do again.
"I will do as I please," he smriks placing his hands on the table. I look closely at his knuckles, he has nasty dark purple and green bruises.
"Did you get in a fight last night?" I grab his hand suprised.
"Yup," he answers popping the 'p'.
What the hell Elliot?
"Why?"
"Some dick ran into to me," he pulls his hand out of my grasp "not that its any of your business."
"Lydia," I hear someone yell from behind the door and I think it's Noah.
"Answer it," Elliot says rudely and I glare at him before walking towards the door. Opening the door I'm suprised to see Jason smiling at me.
"Come in," I smile.
"Thanks," he walks inside and sits down on the table.
"What's up J?" I ask as I sit down next to him.
"Noah kinda told me to check in on you," he replies embarrassed "to make sure you were okay."
"He has it bad for you," Elliot says sarcastically before facing Jason "almost as bad as you bell boy."
Jason blushes furiously and I glare at Elliot.
What is he talking about?
"What?" Elliot raises both his hands "I thought you knew Lydia. Bell boy drools over you every time he sees you, but he won't ever do anything because his friend called dibs first, isn't that right?"
"His name's Jason," I say bitterly "and everything your saying is utter bullshit."
"Fine," he walks over to the fridge and grabs another beer "deny it bell boy. Tell her everything I said is a lie."
He will.
I look over at Jason expecting him to deny everything, but he's nervously trying to figure out what to say.
"I should go," Jason stands up and storms out of the apartment.
"J," I yell after him, but he's already inside the elevator.
"Totally called it," Elliot laughs while sipping his beer.
Okay, now I'm furious.
Slamming the door shut I storm towards Elliot.
"Elliot I-" I start saying, but he cuts me off.
"Save it," he said coldly "I know what you're going to say and I don't want to hear it. Why don't you just leave me alone and go back to being your life hating closed up person?"
I don't hate life.
"Why are you acting like this?" I ask.
"Because your right," he towers over me "I don't give a shit about you. In fact everything I did was just to convince my dad I've changed and then I could leave, but acting is so exhausting I'd rather just be me."
Ouch, that hurt.
Don't you dare show what you're feeling Lydia.
"Well finally you give me some good news," I smile pretending to relax "that means no more questions, or scenes about wanting the truth. You'll finally stop being pathetic obnoxious Elliot."
"We finally agree on something," he smirks taking a sip from his beer.

"Two beers please," I order as I sit down. I'm inside what use to be my favorite club, Toxic.
I look up at the television that's hanging on the wall knowing the news will be playing.
"Luis Montgomery a young, fun, carefree guy of the age of 20 was murdered three years ago today," the report speaks as Luis' picture lingers on the screen.
His is black hair neatly combed back, his dark eyes full of life, and he's smiling from ear to ear.
I took that picture.
"Use to see the guy here all the time," the bartender comments as he hands me my drinks.
I nod my head continuing to listen to the reporter.
"Luis was killed by a women of the name Abrelle Louise who stabbed him multiple times in the chest," the reporter continues and I close my eyes as they show pictures of the crime scene.
I'm so sorry Luis.
"What are you doing here?" Someone asks and I recognize the person's voice.
Stephan Ryder.
