Never Knew You Needed Me

Let's try again (Chapter 2)

Alainas POV
As I'm walking home I can't help but worry about the party later tonight. No wonder Maddy is so tired all the time she always partys.. constantly. It's exhausting, she travels so much. But not worry.  She always has company, she's never really alone. I have figured out something about her. She doesn't make good choices. Her boyfriend yells at her constantly and she doesn't know how to make basic foods. If I were there I would cook all her meals, clean the floors, make our bed, I would do all the chores so she could focus on doing things she likes. Such as art. She loves to paint. Landscapes mainly, but sometimes animals. Not to mention that her apartment is small. She doesn't even have a full kitchen half of it is her bedroom. And her house is always messy. But she's only home at night so it's not much of a bother. To her atleast, it makes her boyfriend mad. If he gets so mad why doesn't he just clean it? Somethings just don't make sense. Well, it's 9:47pm and the party starts at 10:30pm. I better get home.

Maddy's POV
"I know honey, I'll clean it when I get home....I know that we have no more soap I'll get some more on my way home." I say over the phone. " Maddy this house is a wreck! You never cook any meals! You have terrible cooking, so that might be a good thing. Your minimum wage job isn't gonna pay up shit. We need more money!" My boyfriend yells through the phone. " Just be patient. I'm sure I'll get promoted soon and we'll make some more, now I have to go,  love you.'' I tell him. Sometimes I wonder if I mean it. Do I? Do I love him? Yes. Besides I need the financial help. I need him. Well it's 10:03pm and I'm still not home and the party starts soon. I guess I'll call and tell them I'll be late, again. *Ring* straight to voicemail. "hey I'm gonna be a little late something came up, love you guys see ya soon!" She never answers her calls. And let's be real, I don't want to go to this party I hate taking Ubers. I need to make sure I don't get drunk so I can get one tonight.

Alainas POV

I'm at the party and I don't see her. Maybe she stood them up? Or shes late. Probably just late. Her friends are snobs. Especially the blonde one. I know her name starts with a R, but I don't know. Oh, she just pulled up. With her work clothes on? Did she come straight from work to a party? A formal party's it seems.

Maddy's POV

I walk in the doors of my friends house and I am in shock. Formal. They told me just to wear some jeans and a t shirt and that's what I did. "Oh darling we told you dress up!" My friend Rachel looks at me with almost mocking eyes. " No you told me just to wear my work clothes, what is this? I thought we said we wouldn't embarrass each other anymore." She looks at me and laughs right on my face. "Awh honey... I had to get back at you, it's okay girly, they won't care!" She says to me while leading me to the kitchen. "No fucking way, you told me we wouldn't do this to each other anymore, the last time something like this happened a girl said some mean things to me!" I know. It's an outfit I'm being dramatic. But she does this all the time. One time she told me to wear all white to a party then when we did karaoke and I went on stage she poured black slimy-stuff all over me. She promised me she would never embarrass me like that again. And here we are. She does these things then expects me to forgive her.  "Ynow what I'm really tired, I think I'm gonna head home." I say trying to sound exhausted. "No honey! Stay please!" Rachel begs me. " No I really am, I'll see you tomorrow. "

Alainas POV

Came all this way and spent all this time for her to leave. I don't even know how Maddy's friends with them, all they do is try to humiliate her. Well since she's going home I guess I will to.
As I lay in bed I cant help but think about when I'm going to do something about Maddys boyfriend. He obviously can't stay. But I don't know how to make him leave. I did just clean out my basement... And I have that one room that I could... I guess I will.

Well I spent all day today working on sound-proofing this empty room in my basement. It could almost pass as a bedroom. I'll just go upstairs and grab some lovible things... Wow. It almost looks like a bedroom, it has a big mat with a black sheet on it on the floor, it has a lock on the outside but not on the inside, has working lights that are controllable on the outside and inside. But most important of all, it's soundproof. It has an oxygen machine, and a little slot in the door just big enough to fit food thought, on the bottom so the door can be unlocked. Perfect. It's just missing one thing.. or person.
