𝐆𝐈𝐑𝐋 𝐂𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐇, aubrey griffin

Uncalled for

"Yo, where is Elianny?" A familiar voice asked aggressively.

"What does that concern you?" Aubrey looked at the 6'3 girl like she was crazy, "She definitely doesn't want to talk to you..."

I don't wanna talk to them..? That must be my.. ex. I had previously dated a stud named, Genevieve aka Gene. I broke up with her a whole 8 months ago, she was verbally and physically abusive constantly having me think less on my beauty, leaving me in purple bruises.

"How about you mind your business, Aubrey?!" Gene questioned loudly.

"Bro, your breath reeks of tequila.. I think you should go.

"Aubrey tried to shut the door but before it could close, Gene stopped it from closing.

"I want to talk to Elianny." She stopped at every word.

"You-" Aubrey was stopped as her Eli walked up next to her and touched her arm to signal her.

I couldn't let Aubrey argue with Genevieve, arguing with Gene is useless. She won't listen to you, she only wants whatever she's fighting for and won't take no for an answer. Can't you tell she's an only child?

I walked up to the door making eye contact with my old lover.

"What do you want?" I asked with a straight face.

"Eli.." She smiled, "I just wanna talk baby."

I look at her displeased and then look at Aubrey who seemed bothered by the name calling.

"Don't call me that, we are not together and never will."

Gene's face changed and forced the door open more. "Don't look at her!" She shouted, "Is this your new girl? HUH?" Gene got closer to my face.

"Why does that matter to you?" I backed up, "Like I said, we aren't togeth-" Gene grasped onto my neck violently, I try to take it off.

Aubrey pushes Gene out of the apartment full strength leaving her on the floor. Aubrey got in her face, "Who the FUCK do you think you are? Go take your drunk ass home and don't come back unless you want your pretty teeth punched out of your face."

Gene got up silenced leaving me one last glance then walked away.

I sobbed as I touched my neck that was left with a red hand mark that pained to touch. Aubrey shut the door and instantly checked on me.

"Eli, I'm so sorry." She looked at my neck, you could see the frown come upon her face.

She brought me to the bathroom and had me sit on the toilet. (it is closed) She checked her phone and searched what to use for a bruised neck. I grab my phone from my PJ pant pocket pressing onto Azzi's contact calling her. She answered second ring.

Azzi answered and all I hear is loud music, "Hello? One sec E, I'm going outside." I waited trying to stop my crying.

"Okay, I'm outside. Everything okay babes?" Azzi asked in her raspy voice.

"Azzi.." I struggled to let out as I cried harder rethinking the situation.

"Elianny? Are you crying?" Her tone changed.

"Um.. Gene came over, she was very.. drunk." I stuttered.

Aubrey came back placing the ice onto my neck, moving it around carefully. "Don't tell me she touched you..." Azzi angrily questioned.

I nodded my head letting out air only able to let out a sound, "Mhm.."

Aubrey looked at me with sadness in her eyes, wiping my tears and caressing my hair.

"Oh.. my love. I'm gonna leave here and I'm going to get to you as fast as I can. Okay?" Azzi asked,

"Okay." I hung up.

Aubrey placed the ice pack down on the counter kneeling down to look me in my eyes.

"It's okay to cry, okay?" Aubrey grabbed my hand tightly.

I looked at her, starting to cry harder. I stood up wrapping my arms around her crying into her shoulder, she stood up and hugged me tight with one hand and the other rubbing my back.

Minutes later we were still in the bathroom and she broke the hug taking me to my room. I sat in my bed going under the sheets and Aubrey sitting next to me.

"Thank you for being there for me, you are really the best.." I smiled at her lightly.

"I will always be here for you, you know that." She gave me a smile as well.

I got closer to her and looked at her in the eyes. She looked into my eyes and at my lips but quickly checked herself. I kissed her on the cheek softly.

"Goodnight." I grinned.

"Goodnight." She left with a smile.

Later that night Azzi came into my room alone. I looked at her and frowned opening my arms up for a hug. She comes over and gets into my bed cuddling me as I began to cry into her shoulder.

"It's gonna be okay.. it will all be okay." Azzi reassured me.

This left me thinking of all the times that Gene had hit me and Azzi had been there for me everytime along with Paige, Caroline, Nika, and Ice sometimes. If you can't also tell, she is one of my bestest friends along with Caroline. I feel so blessed to have her as my friend, I'd truly do anything for her as she would for me.

-

That next morning Azzi had slept in my bed. I felt very exhausted from all the crying. Nika asleep in the bed on the other side of the room. I look at my phone, it's on 1% but the time was 8:01 am. How could I be so tired but slept for so long?

My door opened slowly as a blonde girl came in. It was Paige. "Hey Anny.." she smiled at me softly, "How are you feeling?"

I looked at her and knew. "She told you?" I asked tilting my head.

"Of course she did, you're my best friend too and I care about you." She nodded, "I would give you a hug or something but.." She points at Azzi, "She's right there, I'll see you when you get up." She blew a friendly kiss and walked back out.

I fell back down and sighed.
