The girl stumbles in giggling, her sober friend by her side, she clung to his side, "You two had fun I see?" Blythe chuckles, she notices blood splattered on Max's face, immediately losing the laugh, her face falls flat, "What happened?" She grabs Elle away, setting the giggling girl on the couch, "Just some guy, he kept touching Elle, I got pissed so I shot the dude.", Elle throws her arm up, "-I told him to stop..", "She told him to stop, he didn't, so you shot him.", "Yeah.", "Idiot.", she walks over to her sister, "Go brush your teeth, take your meds and then go to sleep.", "Whatever..." she giggles, getting up and stumbling off, Blythe turns around, "Why are you giving me that look..", "What look?", "That look!", "What look- okay no- you need to be careful, I don't want Elle being like... that again.", "A killer? It's not like she's gonna switch it up and start killing.", Blythe grabs the mans arm, "But she could, and that's what Lexxi wants.", "What? You don't trust her..? She gave you five hundred bucks for walking her dog. I don't think she's messing with us.", "Somethings fishy." The girl says, sitting back on the couch, max walks into the kitchen, grabbing a glass of water and coming back, sitting on the couch as well, "Well, you gonna tell me your theory?"...

The girl groaned sitting up, rubbing her eyes, "Elle..." she looks into her doorway, the girl Anna standing there, "Huh?", "Oh, first good morning, second, I was wondering if you maybe wanted to uh... go to the mall with me?", "Is it a date?", "Uh Um I uh-", "I'm kidding." Elle chuckles, "It's a date." Anna smiles, "Alright then blondie, give me an hour..", Anna smiles wildly, "Oh ok.", she backs out of the doorway, closing the door, smiling to herself, on the other side of the door Elle shakes her head with a small smile, standing up and stripping down, looking at her body in the mirror, so many scars on her legs, tattoos she was forced to have, including a question mark below her collarbone, she got that one when she was 4, soon she walks into her closet, picking out a mini skirt and a bra, putting a sheer shirt over it, slipping on her vans and grabbing her wallet and phone, before meeting Anna in the hall.

Elle had fun with Anna, they even kissed, but now Elle lay in her bed, her heart slowly breaking, she didn't feel anything with Anna, yet she agreed to go on another date, she felt horrible, sighing as she collapsed on her bed, seeping into her thoughts, "Elle?", she snaps out of it, sitting up, it was hazel, "What's up?", "When you like someone, how do you know?" They ask, sitting next to Elle, "You just feel it... why?", "I think I like Lexxi-", "Our boss- you kidding?-", "Hey!-", "Ok ok I will admit that is pretty cute. Just tell her.", "Idk...", "Hazel! Snap out of it- you're the hottest person- besides me- in this house, you can get any of us with a wink, just tell her how you feel.", they laugh together, "Okay okay- thank you, Elle, I really appreciate it..", "No problem.", they walk out, leaving Elle alone again...

-"Are you sure it's okay?", "Yeah yeah, we have plenty of room." Lexxi smiles at her assistant, Aurora, "Huh?" Blythe walks up to the two, sipping her chai tea, "My brother is coming back to Gotham needs a place to stay." Aurora explains as she forks her eggs, "New roommate yay, that's what 15 now?", "Plenty of space Blythe...", "Yes but when you wake up to McCulloch chopping someone's arm off it makes you rethink a couple of things..", "He's not that crazy...", "THAT crazy?", "Sane-er then Anna.", "And I'm pretty sane, He's cool, Aurora's twin, there like two peas in a pod..", Blythe raises her eyebrows, "So close yet he doesn't live in Gotham? Peas in a pod...", "Are you and Elle close?", "..yeah.", "She lived across the river for-", "That wasn't my fault.", "Okay okay.. stop arguing, when's he comin'?" Elle collapses on the couch, "Later today..." Aurora walks off, "I get a sense that she doesn't like me." Blythe huffs sitting next to her sister with a book, "She's just anti-social-", "Anti-social my ass, she works for one of the highest-profile bad guys in Gotham.", "Well I'm going for a joyride, see you all later.." Hazel walks past the group, shaking their hips, Lexxi goes into a daze, "C-Can I come?" The dark-haired girl asks, "Awe that's cute she's nervous hey-" Lexxi throws a book to shut Elle up, Hazel chuckles, "Yeah come on boss lady." They wink at Lexxi, both getting up and leaving...

"Hey Elle.." the girl walks into Elle's room, "Anna? What's up?", "I really... really like you-", "Anna- no, no I-I can't I'm-", "Seeing someone else?", "No I, am sick... and I'm not better yet.", "What? Elle, we're all sick-", "No! I can't ruin it again okay Anna, I can't ruin it.", "It'll happen one day.." the girl walks closer, "Why not now?", "I...", "You what?" Anna smiles, Elle grabs her arm, "I can't, I'm sorry.", "Oh-I I didn't know you were sa-serious.", "I-I'm gonna go..." Anna walks out swiftly, closing the door behind her, "Fuck..." The girl reaches up, running her fingers through her hair, frustratingly tugging at it, she stands up, storming out of her room, "Woah Woah sweet cheeks slow down." Lexxi says as Elle enters the living room, Elle looks over, the dark-haired girl sits in the armchair, sipping alcohol, the bottle in front of her, "Vodka?" Elle questions, "Juyondai 'Ryusen' Junmai Daiginjo Sake, most expensive on the market, was my mothers favorite.", Elle walks over sitting down as Lexxi pours her a glass, "Rough night?", Elle nods, sipping the drink, "Tell me about it."...
