Ch19: My Collection Of High Tech Sex Toys
"Am I late for dinner?" She smirks.
Alisson.
"Who is it?" Elliot asks and I shut the door panicking.
Breathe Abrelle.
"Salamon," I lie "he just wants to say happy thanksgiving, I'll be right back."
"Don't take too long Lyddie," Elliot yells as I leave the apartment.
"Lyddie," Alisson says annoyed "what a horrible nickname."
"Shut up," I snap "what are you doing here?"
"What I said I would do," she smiles "I'm here to tell Elliot everything."
"Hey," someone says and I immediately recognize him.
Nathan.
"You're not telling Elliot anything," I whisper harshly at Alisson "you don't get to do that. You don't get to come into my life-"
"Your life," she laughs "don't you mean your lie."
"Alisson we should leave," Nathan says "it's dangerous to be here."
"No," she shakes her head "I'm not leaving until I do what I said I would."
"You're not doing anything," I growl "because if you so much as show your face here again I will make sure that you end up in the cell next to me accused of being my accomplice."
"What?" she exclaims "you can't do that."
"Keep your voice down Ali," Nathan commands.
"I can and I will," I smirk "I'll lie and say that you helped me with everything. That easily assures you ten to fifteen years in jail with me."
"No one would belive you," she chuckles "a criminal like you is bound to lie and a good innocent person like me wouldn't. I have more credibility than you."
"Yeah," I nod "but Elliot would be an amazing witness who can testify that you indeed knew everything and this building has cameras which have probably caught you walking in. I wouldn't have credibility, but I'd have evidence."
"We're leaving Nat," Alisson storms off anger visible all throughout her body.
"Big sis," Nat smiles "I'm glad to see you."
I am too Nat.
I carefully grab and pull on the A pendant from behind my dress and show it to him.
"Thank you for the pendant," I tell him "it means a lot considering mine is somewhere in an evidence folder."
"You deserve it," he nods "anyways I think my dad would want you to have it. I haven't been the best son since he left."
"You're talking," I shake my head "look at me Nat. I'm running from the cops."
"For something you didn't do," he shakes his head frustrated.
"You don't think I did it?" I ask.
"Of course not," he smiles "you're too kind and selfless to do something like that."
"Not anymore," I frown "a lot has changed these past years."
"You're still kind," he nods "its in your eyes and in the way you smile especially around that Stone kid."
"Yeah," I agree "Elliot defiantly makes me smile, but I'm not the person I use to be Nat. I'm not that kind, trusting person I once was. Life taught me that those people get stepped on and crushed."
"I'm gonna make everything right," Nat says, a pained look in his eyes "I promise Elle."
My dad would call me Elle. He thought it was a good nickname for Abrelle.
I miss him.
"What do you mean Nat?"
"Nothing," he shakes his head "I should go."
"Yeah," I nod.
"You look beautiful by the way," he says while walking away "I miss your red hair though."
"I do too," I agree before opening the door and walking back into the apartment.
"Hey," Elliot smiles and I smile back.
Why am I in love with him?
"Salamon sure talks a lot," he smirks while gesturing for me to sit next him.
"Yeah," I nod taking a seat next to him in the table. Everyone has already sat down and served themselves. Noah is across from me, Liz to his right, then Elliot, next to him is me and finally Jason to my right.
"Well who's saying thanks first?" Noah asks as well all take each others hand.
"I will," Liz squeals, a pleading look on her face.
"Knock yourself out," Elliot laughs and I think I see Liz blush from the corner of my eye.
You're seeing things Abrelle. Bestfriend and boyfriend.
"Okay,"she says "I just want to say thank you God or whoever is in charge of this for everything. For health, for a roof above my head, for food on my plate, but most of all for these amazing people around me. I think I'd crash and burn without them so thank you for this amazing family."
Everyone smiles at her and I could see tears threatening to escape her eyes, but she takes a deep breath and they were gone. Noah and Jason both went and they said basically the same thing Liz did.
"Can I go last?" I asked looking at Elliot. He knew this was hard for me, the whole sharing my emotions and thoughts with everyone.
"Of course," Elliot nodded and I was thankful because I have no idea what to say.
"Umm," Elliot laughed nervously "I guess I should start by saying that I'm thankful for this dinner. This is the first time that I celebrate any holiday with someone other than my Nanny Jane not that I'm complaining she's great, but this is fantastic. Sitting in a table with such great people and eating together. I also want to say that I'm thankful for the girl next to me that somehow because of some miracle agreed to date me and honestly she turned my life around."
If he knew that he turned my life around in a way that nobody else has.
"I love her so much," he smiles at me and I give his hand a reassuring squeeze "and I'm thankful that I met you guys, I know I've done things and I want to apologize for them. I'm not proud of my behavior and I'm sorry."
"It's in the past," Noah comments and I'm shocked.
Is Noah forgiving Elliot?
Wow. This dinner is definitely something.
"Yeah don't worry about it," Jason agrees and once again I'm shocked.
Who are you guys and what did you do to my friends?
"Your turn Lyds," Liz smiles and I nod looking down at my plate.
Breathe Abrelle.
"Soo..I'm um," I start, but my mind goes completely blank and I can't make out any words.
"It's okay," Elliot whispers rubbing the back of my hand with his thumb and somehow it manages to comfort me.
I can do this...
"I'm just gonna go ahead and start by being honest," I say closing my eyes and taking a deep breath before continuing "I am not the easiest person to deal with. I've been through really rough experiences throughout my life and I can be rather dry when it comes to affection, but something happened these past years that I never thought possible. I met a girl who is crazier than anyone else I've met and I'm lucky to call her my best friend. Then I meet this guy who happens to work where I live and he's a really compassionate kind guy. After that came this other guy who likes to jog everywhere and I mean everyehere. He's this potential lawyer who happens to only be around 94% sure about things, but he's funny and loyal.
"Finally this snobby, rich kid who I called a dick within the first five minutes of talking to him. He came into my life and I felt like a train had just crashed everything I had. This guy has changed my life in so many ways that I never even consider could happen. He also happens to be my boyfriend and he's kind of a douche," I say and we all laugh "but he's okay I guess...I'm thankful to have every single one of them in my life."
"My mascar isn't waterproof," Liz complains grabbing a napkin and cleaning her eyes.
"Shall we eat," Elliot says and we all nod in agreement before beginning.

"My collection of high tech sex toys," I laugh "that one won, no doubt about it."
"Its mine bitches," Liz yells grabbing her card and we all laugh. We're currently playing cards against humanity and Liz is whopping all of us.
"How does she always win," Jason chuckles "I mean she has to be cheating, right?"
"Take that back fucklet," Liz growls and we all laugh except Jason who actually seems insulted.
Did I forget to metion their both drunk?
Yeah, their drunk.
"Did she just call me a fucklet?" Jason frowns "I don't even know what that means."
"It means your a little-"
"OKAY," Noah smiles "I think that's our cue to go."
"Why so soon?" Jason asks and for a second he looks like the most adorable person ever. His blonde hair messy from constantly running his hands through it and he has a big exaggerated pout.
"Its three in the morning you fuckrudder," Liz rolled her eyes.
"Its five in the morning," Elliot whispered causing both Noah and me to laugh.
"Why are you insulting me?" Jason said making his pout bigger than before.
"I'm sorry I'll tell you a poem instead," she grins "roses are red, violets are blue, I have five fingers, the middle one's for you."
Why is Liz so mad? Is it because she's drunk or is there more than that?
"Yeah," Noah stands up "we should get going, these two obviously need a nap."
Something happened.
"Noah," I say with a big smile "can we talk in the kitchen for a minute?"
"I should really get going-"
"Now," I say sternly and he nods making his way to the kitchen. Elliot gives a strange look, but I mouth to him that its nothing. I follow Noah to the kitchen and I can automatically tell he's nervous.
Wow. What happened?
"Why is Liz acting like that towards Jason?" I ask.
"She's just drunk," Noah shrugs scratching the back of his head.
"I've seen her drunk and she's never rude to him," I answer "so what happened?"
"Jason may have kissed her," he says casually "and then she may have found him kissing someone else later that day."
"WHAT?" I exclaim angrily.
"You know we can hear you," Elliot smirks.
"Who cares," I dismiss "their too drunk to even know what's happening."
"Look," Noah says "Liz didn't want to say anything because she didn't want to ruin friendsgiving."
"Ruin friendsgiving my ass," I growl "Jason is bitch cum infested puss bubble. I swear I'm gonna rip his lungs out when he's sober."
"Why is everyone insulting me?"Jason comments and I glare at him.
"Shut up," both me Liz say simultaneously.

"Their finally gone," Elliot says wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Yeah I'm tired," I push him off walking towards the restroom. I immediately begin removing my makeup.
"Lyddie," Elliot leans on the side of the door "are you mad at me?"
"No," I answer continuing to remove my makeup.
I'm not mad.
I have no reason to be mad.
My bestfriend and boyfriend wouldn't ever betray me, right?
Ha, yeah right.
My sister was my best friend and Luis was my boyfriend. Look how that turned out.
"Fine then you wont care if I do this," he walks over to me and wraps his arms around my waist.
"Nope," I shake my head while starring at my bare face in the mirror.
"Or this," he says planting small kisses on my neck causing my eyes to close and a small sound to escape my lips.
Controll yourself Abrelle.
"Stop Elliot," I move away breathless "I'm getting ready for bed."
"You are mad," he smiles "why?"
"I'm not mad," I release my hair "I'm just...forget it I'm imagining things that aren't there."
"What things?" he ask wrapping his arms around my waist pulling me towards him.
"Liz and you," I whisper "she was blushing at everything you said and you were being so nice to her."
"Lyddie," he kisses my forehead "I love you and only you. I was only being polite to Liz and nothing else. Besides she's your friend she'd never do that."
"I know," I smile "I told you I was imagining things, but I just don't want to get hurt."
"I. Would. Never. Hurt. You." he says planting small kisses on my lips "You. Mean. So. Much. To. Me. Lyddie."
I have to say it. He needs to know how I feel about him, right?
"Elliot," I say.
"Yeah" he aswers kissing my cheek and slowly going down neck.
I can say it.
"I love you."
