Kyle now.

 

I have Kyle and I have to get Braian out of my life.

 

 

"It's not gonna happen, but good luck." I said pulling my arm from him.

 

"Okay, I get it. I'll leave you alone." he said, turning around and leaving.

 

 

I wanted to say that i want you back and to forgive him.

 

But Kyle is a better boyfriend than Brian ever was.

 

 

I was tempted to visit Brian and tell him i'm sorry, for turning down his offer.

 

But I have more things to focus, on than an ex popping up.

 

--

 

Elle's P.O.V

 

 

Marybella gave me a call and I drove out to her house.

 

The front door was creaked and opened, when I walked in.

 

"Marybella?" I said looking around.

 

 

"She's in the living room." Mark said coming downstairs. 

 

"She's upset, so be careful about what you're saying." he said.

 

I walked into the living room. 

 

 

I saw Marybella, sitting near the window. Looking at the trees and plants outside.

 

"Bella." I said softly.

 

 

She turned her head slowly, looking weak and still.

 

Marybella looked like she lost a lot of weight and her skin looked more pale than usual.

 

 

"Hey Elle." she said, her voice weak and breathless.

 

"I wanted to talk to you before things get crazy. Remember when a few months ago, my dad came and visited?" she said.

 

 

"Yeah." I said walking over to her.

 

"Well, I wanted to be the one to tell you that, i'm not moving back to Russia, ever. I'm going to stay here."

 

"That's good to know." I started.

 

Marybella sat in silence, then she started talking again.

 

"I got a call earlier from my dad. He said he was coming to take me back, I said no."

 

 

Marybella's voice got quiet, as she looked back to the window pane, then to me. 

 

"In case anything happens...." she said, holding my hands in her's.

 

 

"I want you to know, that I was happy here. Living here, with you by my side too."

 

"Wait, what do you mean?" I said, now concerned.

 

 

"I'm going under isolation at my hospital next week. I wanted to tell you first, because I was scared about anybody knowing it."

 

 

"Are you gonna be okay?" I said, concerned as to why she was leaving.

 

"Yes, but hopefully the surgery will be done right. And if not, I might die." she says.

 

"Wait, you might die? Surgery? Bella what is going on?" I asked.

 

 

"Hopefully you'll understand." she says.

 

She let go of my hands and looks back to the window. The shadow of the blurry sky brightening her skin.

 

I don't know what's going to happen, but hopefully she doesn't die yet.

 

I need her.

 

 

She's more than a worry in my life, she's my best friend. 

 

But maybe she'll tell me sooner.

 

 

I only hoped she would.

 

After, I drove home and flopped on the couch.

 

 

Jacob was out of town for the week, so I was by myself.

 

I felt lonely and out of this world.

 

Marybella wouldn't tell me what's going on and my blog media is about to blow up next week.

 

 

Luckily, I have Rikki.

 

She'll probably cheer me up.

 

I called her up and said to meet up at 90 Rockers.

 

 

"So, it's been a pretty lazy day huh?" I said keeping the conversation up.

 

"Yep, but if we want to get through this, we have to do something fun." Rikki said.

 

 

"Like what?" I asked.

 

Rikki looked around.

 

"Karaoke" she said smiling.

 

"I don't sing." I protested.

 

 

"Here drink this." she said.

 

Before I could get another word in, the cup's already touching my lips.

 

"What is it?" i asked.

 

"Just drink it." she said.

 

I took the drink, accepting maybe i'd get a little loose.

 

 

And then everything spaced out for a moment.

 

All the colors, of the LED lights turned big and blurred.

 

And my mind was twisting.

 

 

What did Rikki give me? I felt someone pull my arm and I got up.

 

 

"Sing with me!" Rikki said.

 

Her voice was different, as if it was cosmic.

 

Almost muffled, but I could hear it clearly.

 

 

"Sing with me." she said agian.

 

We got up on the mini stage and we sang all afternoon long, until I felt my stomach turn.

 

What was happening? Did I have too many drinks, am I drunk?

 

 

Oh no.

 

I felt liquid crawl up my throat.

 

 

I pulled Rikki from the stage and ran to the bathroom.

 

I coughed a few times, before I wiped my mouth finally.

 

"Worst expericene ever." I said.

 

Looking at Rikki who was applying lip gloss in the mirror, I turned a sour eye towards her.

 

 

"Hey it's not my fault, you were drunk." she said.

 

"What!?" I said back looking directly at her.

 

I stood up abruptly. "I didn't know that I was a lightweight drinker, until now."

 

"Hmmm, that cosmic drink I gave you, must have been too strong for you." she said.

 

 

She absentmindedly didn't even look by way. Like she was in her own world.

 

"Look, I don't wanna know what you gave me. Just take me home." I prompted.

 

 

Rikki smiled at herself in the mirror.

 

She was partially sober and she's the one pulling me along with whatever drink she gave to me.

 

 

"Matter fact, I'll take myself home." I said, walking out of the bathroom.

 

 

I couldn't believe Rikki would say that, so ignorant.

 

I talked in the parking lot with her, before we left.

 

 

"I can't believe you're acting like this Rikki, you are so reckless today. I can't even see you anymore, the real you." I said.

 

"Yeah, you can't. Because i'm a new person." she shot back.

 

"What?" I said, before I got in my car.

 

 

Rikki brushed it off, like she didn't make the comment.

 

We drove in silence, on the way to her house.

 

The least thing I can do, is make sure she gets home safe. Much to me.

 

 

When we reached her house, we both walked up to her bedroom and I saw half the room missing. 

 

"Where's Jason's stuff?" I said looking around.

 

 

"He's gone and I kicked him out, i didn't need him." Rikki said, dressing into something nice now.

 

"Wait, you kicked him out? Aren't you guys married? Rikki you tell me any of this, why?" I said.

 

 

"You don't know anything about marriage. You don't know anything about me. When was the last time we talked together, huh?" Rikki said.

 

 

I paused to think.

 

"A month ago..." I start.

 

"Where?" she said stern.

 

"When I was with Mary-"

 

"When you were with Marybella, that's all the time I ever get to talk with you. You're selfish and dumb. I don't even know why i'm friends with you?"

 

 

"Rikki, where is this coming from? We're friends, even though we don't talk much because of our jobs. I'm here for you, so please tell me what's going on."

 

"No! no. You are selfish, you get everything you want. Everything goes your way. Everything is perfect for you." She replied.

 

"That's not true, even my own life isn't perfect. And you know that. No everyone is." I shot back.

 

 

Rikki didn't reply, she just continued to get ready to go out.

 

"I don't even know why i'm still friends with you, what happened to you Rikki?" I said walking towards her.

 

 

I put a hand to her elbow, and she moved me back.

 

I didn't flinch at her gaze.

 

She calmed down and applyed another coat of lip gloss in a mirror.

 

"You do you..., and i'll do me. Okay." she says.

 

 

"Rikki-" 

 

"Because I wanna be somebody, and I can't be my own self being married to a has-been player of a husband. Who worked enough hours, but never spent time with me. I decided to find a new me, than rather be the same old vintage Rikki who's a photographer at FARELLE and is a great friend." she shot back.

 

"You can change. You're aloud to. But please, understand. That you're not alone. I am here for you."

 

"Since when? Have you been there." she starts.

 

 

She pinches her thumb and index finger together, while looking at me.

 

"I can't even get in a sentence worth of my life towards your's and Marybella's. Compared to mine, yours are all jolly and happy."

 

"That's not true-" I start.

 

"It's not true. Of course it's not, but it sure feels like it. Look, Marybella is sick, and all we know that she's suffering here and there. And you....selfish you, caring about nobody but yourself and your safety around others. Couldn't even see past Marybella's struggles or Sara's life, past your own."

 

"I care about Marybella. I became fast friends with her." I said.

 

"Yeah, and before that...you met me. Now, i'm outside of the cirlce."

 

"You're not-" I say.

 

"Just stop, Elle." Rikki says, turning away.

 

 

"You can't do this by yourself Rikki, you can get your life together. Talk to me." I said.

 

 

Trying to get her to stop leaving, was nearly impossible.

 

"I will." she said walking to her closet.

 

 

"You're somebody else right now, you're an alien." I said, directly at her.

 

 

I've never seen this side of Rikki ever, it was so weird.

 

The funky 70's room decor, had now become minimalist.

 

The house, that once felt warm, is now cold.

 

 

"And everybody can't be the angel, that is Elle Woods." Rikki shot back.

 

"You've got problems. Rikki. Solve them please, then come talk to me." I said.

 

 

I left in a hurry and in a huff.

 

Suddenly now she's a new person and has a wild side.

 

She's changing.

 

 

Everyone changes, including me.

 

But it's usually before you grow up, it's almost never rarely after.

 

 

I just hope that she realizes the life she has now and the friends she made along the way.

 

I don't want her to throw it away, for a new her.

 

 

Breaking up her marriage with Jason and calling it quits, she would have told me.

 

Because we're friends.

 

She's somebody else, she's turning right now, into somebody else.

 

 

Not the first friend I had in years.

 

 

Everything's falling down, but why.

 

Why my life?

 

 

Sara hasn't come back and tried to ruin it yet.

 

Marybella's talking about death and what comes after and Rikki has surely gone crazy.

 

 

Why is my life falling apart now.

 

I just hope my relationship doesn't.

 

I trust Jacob not to ruin things now.

 

 

This week is gonna be tough and I have to wheel myself back to gravity and reality. 

 

Chapter Nineteen: And So It Lies...

  

"Good morning my ElleWooders, a crazy week is nothing but the shortest break for me. But at least, in 2 days i'll get to see you guys at the event. Hopefully, a ton of you will show up. I'm really excited, because the day I meet you all is the day Jaocb comes home. And this, time he's staying home for the rest of the summer. Also coming up is the big Magazine Show off travel trip to Brazil. I'm so excited to be able to visit Carla in Venezuela. This month and summer is gonna be great, i can feel it. I wish the best of luck to your safe travels. Now, I gotta go and see ya next time." - @SumerElleW_86

 

 

 

As I finished my blog post, I heard a knock on my door. 

 

I opened it and saw an unusual face.

 

"Hellom, Elle Woods? Come with me." 

 

 

A bright feminine voice shot through my ears.

 

"Hold on, i'm not going anywhere." I said.

 

"We have an emergency, to which someone broke into your old apartment in the Yodo apartments in Manhattan. Please come with me, to approve someone has lived there before we confiscate the leftover items." says the woman.

 

 

She souded serious. I followed her to my old apartment.

 

I hadn't been there in a long time. So i'm sure everything is just fine.

 

And I only hoped that no one broke in.

 

 

When I walked into the apartment, I saw things broken up and misplaced.

 

Things, ripped and shredded. The couch cushions were missing. The tables was split in half and the big window was shattered.

 

 

"How could someone do this," I said silently.

 

"Yeah, someone did." the woman
