Johnnie's Sister

You Think She'll Be Okay?

After they arrived at Johnnie's house, Lizzy immediately went too shower. She passed Colby, and the others on the way. She was a crying disaster, her makeup was running down her face, her face was also red, her eyes were puffy from the crying.

Colby looked at Johnnie, really concernedly. "Johnnie, what the hell happened?" Johnnie only looks at Colby, he didn't want to say anything in case Lizzy didn't want anything to be said yet.

"All I'm going to say is Lizzy's probably going to live with me from now on. Don't ask her questions unless she bring it up first, and if you do I'll smack the fuck out of you." He gives his friends the side eye.

He then reached in his pocket, pulled out his phone, and began too aggressively type. "Who ya texting?" Jake peered over Johnnie's shoulder out of curiosity.

"Alonza; she's Lizzy's best friend since diapers. Those two are like Veronica Sawyer and Martha Dunnstock minus the backstabbing for popularity," Johnnie paused for a second too question what the hell he just said. Ah yes, the Heather's fan in him was sparking.

"Do be warned though, we can't be all too loud. Ally has a 3 year old daughter. She's really sensitive too loud noises. As is Ally, but Ally tolerates it better." He continued to talk too his friends.

Meanwhile Lizzy who'd just gotten out of the shower, walked too the kitchen. She grabbed a small cup of water and took a small sip of it, holding back tears too avoid seeming weak. Her brother had already seen enough of her being fragile and she needed to be strong for him.

Her thoughts only increased and the more she got buried in them, the tighter she squeezed the glass. She hasn't noticed it cracking and as it shattered in her hand, she didn't react. Instead she stared, and stared, and stared. It reminded her of earlier, when she was throwing the picture frames at Arden. The glass shattering, felt like her heart shattering.

He was her world for months, through all the arguing and violence, they loved each other through everything and never once talked about leaving. Or so Lizzy thought. She continued too squeeze the glass in her hand, appreciating the pain she'd felt like she deserved. After all, if he cheated then she obviously wasn't enough for him.

"Elizabeth, are you alright?" Colby says worriedly as he stepped into the kitchen. He immediately noticed the blood dripping on the counter. As he approached her, tears started streaming down her face. He gently pryed her fingers apart, making her drop the glass on the counter.

"I understand that you may be hurting, and no I don't know why. But, coming from personal experience, I promise you, hurting yourself for another's mistake of things isn't the right route," He began too talk to her as he helped her rinse off all the glass shards from her hand.

"Did Johnnie tell you?" Lizzy shakily looks at Colby. "No, he said it wasn't his place too say anything too us. If you ever do want to talk about it, I am here. You have a whole bunch of people out there who love and care about your well being. We'd never want you to feel the need too bottle it up or anything."

Lizzy's shaking only intensified. Colby's words absolutely broke her barrier, and urge too be 'strong'. She hugged him tightly and broke down crying, again.

Sam snuck a peak in the kitchen, he returned his glance too Johnnie & Jake. "Do you think she's going to be okay, guys?" He asks with a hopeful tone. "I hope so. I really hope she doesn't turn back too past habits." Johnnie replies, sighing.
