Glimpse of Us- Joji
"I don't know who I am anymore, I don't know why I try to be me, because I'm not, I am a shell of the woman I once was, Nothing is okay, and I can't keep pretending I am, I can keep pretending that you're here, or that Blythe is the same, That Max looks at me the same because It's all not true, Blythe hates me, and Max looks at me like I am a puppy, I hate it, I hate everything, I don't know anymore, I don't know anything anymore.- Elle Nygma."
She shuts her laptop, throwing it across the room, bringing her knees into her chest, she couldn't live like this anymore, drugged up and drunk all of the time, it wasn't working for her, It wasn't making anything better. Today she was alone, everyone went to go see Ian, Together, He was allowed more than one person now, But Elle couldn't go, Elle couldn't see him...
"Where is she?" He asks, The group stares, Ian looked like he was dying, He had dark shadows under his eyes, you could see his ribs, he was so, so skinny, and he could barely keep his head up, the group was shocked, "Hello!?", "Uh-", "She-", "Can't-", "See you-", "Because-", "She's-", "Insane." They all say, "Say it one at a time- what are you, school children?", "Uh...", Jasper pushes Max forward, "So funny- funny story- uh- when Elle and I were young, she and I uh- killed a couple of people, and she went to-", "Yeah Max, I know, now what does this have to-", "She can't visit you because she's mentally insane! So she can't come here." Max spits out, Ian chuckles, A CHUCKLE comes out of his mouth, shaking his head, "How is she doing?", "She's not sober, but she's doing okay." Max nods, "She's not doing that thing where she shuts everyone out right?", "She only talks to Aurora and I.", "Blythe why isn't she talking to you?", the girl swallows thickly, "I stopped looking for her, and after she remembered everything I kinda-", "None of us wanted anything to do with her." Lexxi finishes, "You guys left her stranded?", "Aurora and I picked her up.", "So she's living with you two now?", "Us and Aurora's boyfriend... He's a cop-", "Yeah Max, I know Pheonix, he lived with us." He runs his hands through his hair, "I want to talk to max alone." He says, The group leaves, and max sits down, "Tell her to write me, Okay?", He reaches in his pocket, Handing max a folded-up piece of paper, "And give her this... Tell me how she's really doing.", "She can't even say your name... She drinks whiskey for breakfast, spends her days locked in her room, she is so hurt, by everything...", Ian bites down on his lip until blood drops out of his mouth, "Ian- I am taking care of her.", "The immortality thing... when she was taken-", "She hasn't aged a day." Max smiles slightly, and Ian smiles as well, "It worked... Good.", "I am going to figure out how to get her in here... I promise."...
"Elle, I am going to get out of here, keep hope.- Ian Wilson."
I burned LA down- Noah Cyrus
"Keep hope- 4 years- 4 fucking years and all I get is keep hope?!" Elle shouts, crumbling the paper and throwing it across the room, "Your gonna want that later-", "Max. I will literally kill you again.", "No you won't, Listen I'm gonna get you in there, I promise.", "No. I don't want to see him.", "What-", "I don't want to see him- I hope he rots in hell.", "You don't mean that.", "I don't say anything that I don't mean."...
"Do you really think it's gonna work?" Jasper chuckles, Blythe shoves him, "I hope so... I miss how it was- Don't you?", "I mean yeah... But- It's not going to be the same, Ian is in Prison, Noah went completely and utterly Insane, Don't even get me started on Elle, Aurora and Lexxi aren't really speaking- I mean- Most of us aren't speaking... It ended for a reason, I will forever follow you and your dreams but come on...", Blythe chugs the rest of her beer, "I'll take the first step then-" She gets up, "Where are you going-", "To talk to Elle."...
"She doesn't want to see you." Max closes the door, Blythe puts her foot in the way, pushing the door back open, "I need to talk to her.", "Blythe- She's an adult- Were adults... no more of this, She will talk to you if she wants." Max says, a serious look on his face, "What is wrong-", "Nothing is wrong." He shuts the door to his room, Leaving Blythe in the living room by herself, "What are you doing here?" Elle asks as she walks out of her room, her body shown off in low-rise black skinny jeans, a studded belt, and a bra... just a bra, her belly button was Pierced and her stomach flat, Blythe admired her sister, "I don't want to fight with you anymore.", "Mm.." Elle nods, "K, can you give me a ride to the club? My car is broken- well actually I crashed it- so it's broken now- anyways can you?", "Yeah..." Blythe smiles, "I can give you a ride"...
"Bye-", Elle slammed the door, making her way into the crowded club, walking straight to the steps, and up to the Bosses office, the guard takes one look and lets her in, She sits in front of the woman, "Elena... What's the word?", "Penguin is working with my father again, somehow they both look younger, I'm not sure how, But my dad looks like when he did when he was 30.", The blonde woman groans, "Barbra I am trying to figure it out, But things are getting complicated.", "How Elena! You're supposed to be my rat.", Elle rolls her eyes, "I do have some information about Lexxi Luther-", "Spill.", "Aurora Told me that Lexxi told her that She's down on money... A lot of money, She owes Joker over 2 Million dollars.", "Finally some useful information, You're dismissed.", Elle quickly leaves, entering the wet Gotham Night, looking around and making sure Blythe had left, before she turns into an ally way, making her way through it, She turns on the next street, making a few more turns until she enters a warehouse, a giant Neon question mark lighting the room, "Hello Ellie." A voice says, "Hi dad." She smiles, sitting down across from him at the dinner table, beginning to stuff her face with food, "Do you feel better about it?" He asks, Sipping his wine, "I haven't thought about it much dad... But she thinks I forgave her.", "You haven't?", "I'm just trying to do this for you.", "I'm trying to be better For your sister and you, You're my children... and I don't want you two to fight.", Elle sighs, "We're not fighting, we're not talking, but we're not fighting.", "Whatever you say...", "I'm telling the truth.", "I know."...
High- 5 seconds of summer
"Call him... They'll let you talk to him...", She taps her foot on the floor, "I-", "Just do it..." Max leaves the room, Elle looks down at her phone, anxiety running through her body, but she dials the number, "Arkham Asylum, Who are you calling to speak with?", "Ian Wilson.", "And you are?", "Uh- Blythe Nygma.", "Putting you through to Ian Wilson.", The line is silent for a moment before, "Hello?", Her heart stops, her mind goes blank, She didn't know what to say... "I-", "They said it was Blythe, I don't want to talk to you-", "It's not Blythe Idiot, They couldn't know who I was." She says...
His knees went weak, his hands shaking, His breath shallow, "Elle...", "Who else would it be- I just want to know something okay?", "Uh-", "Are we still dating- I need to know because I can't wait for you.", "Elle are you breaking up with me?"...
She couldn't, She WOULDNT, "No- I- I'm sorry- I thought If I were mean then it wouldn't hurt...", "You haven't changed.", "I can't change.", "Yes you can, You changed when I met you, you changed when I left, you can change.", "I don't want to..." A sob escapes her mouth, "You could've hid her better you idiot-" She cries, "You wanted to be caught! You bastard!", "Elle-", "Stop! Just stop-", "Are you drunk-", "I'm always drunk idiot!" She cries, "Goodbye Ian.", She hangs up, her body folding in on itself as she cries, she had to do it... he was in for 10 years, She wasn't even halfway through, he had 6 more years, and Elle wasn't going to wait, but when did she ever? She was an impatient bitch, she knew it, and so did everyone else, it's just who she was... so no, she wasn't going to wait for Ian, she wouldn't wait for anyone, well, maybe except for Max, Max, and Elle, forever, That's just how it was...
