Reruns (Elizabeth Olsen Fanfic)

Chapter 64

"This place came straight out of a story book, like literally" Courtney beams as soon as we entered our home. I smiled hearing that, it really gives me joy knowing our house is a definition of what you call a fucking dream house. It makes me proud in some way, but its all on Elizabeth to be honest. Its her house in the first place, I just moved in.

"I'm gonna go upstairs and put these in your room." Mary Kate says holding up the garment bags holding up the suit and the dress we're wearing at the Emmys the day after tomorrow. I nod in response as I toss my keys into the bowl near the door.

"Want some martinis?" Huge smiles grow on their faces and respond 'yes' in unison making me chuckle. I would've offered some beer but I really need a strong drink right now, to somehow flush all my thoughts away. As soon as I'm in the kitchen, I hear music starts blaring off our speakers. Jake must've turned them on. He's around more often here since we've been working together these past few days and some days, we have virtual meetings with editors. Elizabeth doesn't mind though, well he is her brother.

"You still looks so damn good doing that." I look up hearing Mary Kate's voice seeing as she watches me from the door frame of our kitchen. I let out a soft chuckle as I finish the drinks with a zest of lemon in them.

"Well, this is the only drink I have in my expertise other than a can of beer." I winked at her and she giggles shaking her head. The room goes quiet, I can sense that she wants to talk about something, like maybe what happened in Jarnie's house a while ago. Speaking of Jarnie, I have yet to tell her about the news of my plans on marrying her daughter.

"You feeling okay already?" I look up once again as she pushes herself from the doorframe and lean against the kitchen island across me, settling her arms on it. "You scared us back there."

"Yea, I will be. Maybe just a little shaken up, I guess." I breathe shrugging my shoulders, feeling a bit tensed talking about it. So tensed that I drank my glass of martini straight and so I need to make one again and so I did. Mary Kate was about to protest but hesitated, maybe because she knows I need this right now. She looks at me sadly and sighs.

"I'm sorry" She whispers. "We shouldn't made you come to mom's house. That was kind of a dick move." I snort a laugh hoping to ease the tension up a bit and she chuckles along.

"It really was kind of a dick move. I guess your mom's house hates me for some reason" I finished my glass of martini with a zest of the lemon peel before dropping it in, trying to distract me from these thoughts that were running in my head and before I could even stop myself, I asked.

"What did I do earlier? I don't remember clearly what happened." She sighs and looks away deciding to focus on fiddling with her fingers.

"We were admiring the ring when we heard the bottle of beer crashed to the floor and when our heads turn you were staring at your hand awfully still, like you weren't breathing or something, you froze. Trent called your attention once, twice but you're not moving. I was getting scared, we all are. You were out for about at least five minutes or so. I even asked Trent what happened and he said he just handed you the bottle before he touched your shoulder shaking you up and that's when you came back."

"The bottle, it looks the same one that I was holding" I whispered reliving that moment, what I saw. Blood, broken glass on the sink, Elizabeth. "I didn't hurt her I swear, I was alone when the bottle was smashed on the sink." I say and the next thing I knew the martini glass that I've just filled up is now empty, again.

"Shan, I think you should slow down with the dri—"

"No you have to believe me, I didn't." I shake my head furiously, another set of scenes playing in my head. The scene of a hand wrapped around Elizabeth's neck. Its making my head hurt. "I didn't hurt her. I could never do that. You have to believe me."
