Almost Everything - (WLW)

5: So, No Pizza?

The familiar face that was coming closer and close to Violet was Lily DuBrett, a model that used to be in Violets agency until she decided she was too good for it. Much to Violets disdain, she actually became pretty successful.

"Violet James, my little Idaho cutie! How are you? God you haven't changed a bit! What are the chances we run into each other?" Lily always sounded so fake and high pitched, Violet hated that.

"Lily, it's nice to see you. I'm good. What you up to around here?" Violet didn't know what she was expecting Lily to say, but it wasn't what came out of her mouth next.

"Oh girl, if I told you I'd have to kill you! Let's just say, I was just visiting the type of person you need to sign an NDA to be able to see!" She whispers, laughing playfully before nudging Violet and saying "Great seeing you darling, best of luck out there!" And disappearing out the lobby doors.

About ten different feelings wrapped around Violet at once, in her stomach, her head, her heart, even her arms started feeling funny. Violet was angry.

Meanwhile, Ellis waited for her on the couch, with the two small cheese pizzas on the way, happy she already found something in common with Violet which was their plainness in pizza and the girl hadn't even got here yet.

Violet stormed through the door and slammed it behind her but it was barely heard by the noise of whatever Ellis had on the TV.

"There she is, my pretend wifey! Pizzas on the wa-"

Ellis was cut off by Violet throwing her purse onto the floor.

"Ellis Hardy, you look in my eyes right now and tell me you didn't just have Lily DuBrett in this apartment."

"I- I know Lily from a party a few months back.. she's a friend, what's the problem? What's going on?" Ellis was actually slightly intimidated by the look on the other girls face and tone of voice.

"Did you fuck her?"

"What? What kind of question is that? We barely even know each other and now you're asking personal questions-"

"Did you fuck her Ellis?!" Violets voice is now raised higher.

"Yes, so what? What is wrong with you?!"

Violet stormed into her room and slammed the door, but it didn't take long for Ellis to storm in after her.

"Get out of my room now."

"Newsflash princess, I bought this place. This is my room. You wanna tell me why you think you have the right to slam doors in my fucking apartment?"

"I know Lily from modelling, this is so fucking embarrassing for me! What if she tells people, and everyone will think I wanted this! I don't like her Ellis and I don't even wanna think about how good she feels about herself now that she's been fucked in MY apartment where I LIVE! By who's supposed to be my girlfriend" Violet ranted.

Ellis stepped towards her with a look that was a mixture of sympathy and annoyance. Violet didn't even want to look at her, she was already confused as to why she was this angry.

"Look, I didn't know you knew her. It was random, I made her sign an NDA so she won't tell a soul. It's hard going from always having company to just being alone, and you have your boyfriend so you're just fine. And don't act like you haven't had sex with him here before. He was too comfortable walking into my place like that."

Violet sighed and sat on the bed.

"Also, I took the liberty of printing out an NDA for Brandon. You can get him to sign it or I will." Ellis' tone was back to rude and cold.

"Whatever. I don't want to continue this if you're going to be fucking random whores in my living space. It's nothing to do with you doing it, I really couldn't care less about what or who you do. I'd just rather not live around filth. In future you can just go to their place or something, I don't know."

"Fine, I don't want Brandon here ever again, and I want you to cut back on seeing him too. It's embarrassing for me if people see you two together. Also, I know Lindsay told you already to break it off with him. Get it done with now." And with that, Ellis left the room.

Somehow, Violet made her feel like she'd messed up, like she was guilty of something, even though in her opinion she did nothing wrong. One thing she knew was that despite the small steps her and Violet had made today, they'd just gone 10 steps backwards in the space of 5 minutes.

The pizza arrived and Ellis awkwardly tiptoed around the kitchen with it, as Violets room was just down the hall. She wasn't going to go hand deliver the rudest girl she'd ever come across a pizza to her room, but she wasn't a monster. So she called into Violet's room.

"The foods here, if-"

"Fuck the food!"

"... so no pizza?"

She heard Violet growl in frustration and throw something at the closed door, and had to laugh silently at how easy it was to get under her skin.
