My Hacker ➩ Elliot Alderson

05.

Song: Latch - Sam Smith

I walked up to my apartment, Flipper in my arms. It was almost 6PM and Elliot still hasn't come for his dog.

I set down Flipper at my feet and knocked on Elliots door. "Elliot?" I say, the first bang knocked his door a little making it open. With me being curious as it is, why not explore? Its not like I have anything to do.

I stepped in making the wood floors creek. "Shit." I mumble setting my foot down more gently. Flipper quickly ran jumping onto Elliots bed, snuggling herself under his covers which made me grin.

I walked over to his little fish, it was a beta fish. "Hey little guy." I say as if he would answer back.. He didn't, by the way.

I then found Elliots computers, there were at least three huge computers, side by side. Why would he need three? Ive had the same laptop since 2010. I sat myself down and wiggled the mouse making all three computers light up. I was curious, don't judge me.

It lit up with my face on one of the screens, my Facebook on the second, and all my personal information on the third.

"No fucking way." I say shaking my head. How did he even get all of this?! He had it all! He knew it! My credit cards, my old addresses, my passed, EVERYTHING.

"What are you doing in my apartment?" I heard a voice behind me, I quickly spinned around to see Elliot with brown bags in his hands, it looks from the grocery store.

"What is this?!" I turn to the screen pointing to it and then back at him.

"Nothing, get out of my house." He drops his bags running over to the computers. He seemed like he was in a hurry for something, like something was seriously bothering him.

"I know I don't know you a lot yet, but this isn't ok. How did you get all of this, Elliot?!" I demand.

"I wanted to see who you were. Im sorry. That was so wrong of me.. Anyway.. Um.. Thanks for watching Flipper." He says, it was a complete lie. His tone was cheesy. All I know is that I need to get back to my apartment to change EVERYTHING.

"Whatever." I shook my head walking out slamming his door behind me. First thing I did was run to my computer ready to change EVERYTHING.

---ELLIOTS POV---

Violet slammed my door making everything shake. Damn it, well now thats ruined. She thinks I'm crazy. Well I am. But this is different. But then again, why did she even come into my apartment?

I just wanted to know what she was like so it could be easier to talk to her, get to know her without actually getting to know her. Make senses? I hope so, friend.

I needed more friends, after Shayla.. After everything. Its too late to lead a normal life but I just needed someone like Shayla, and Violet was like that. I can see it, I can read it.

I sat down on my chair moving my mouse making my computers light up.

ERROR, REFRESH.

ERROR.

YOU HAVE BEEN SIGNED OUT.

All of the screens said with flashing colors. "Smart." I grinned. She changed all her information. She was smart for doing that but I can still get back in. I know her email, and they always send emails for resetting stuff, I can easily undo that. But I will let her have the benefit of the doubt.

I logged into her email just for fun, reading all her coupons, conversations. I knew that she starts her new job tomorrow at that sketchy strip club down the road. That job won't last long, I'm sure. That place is a shit hole. Theres always shootings there every week. Maybe tomorrow I will catch the ride and go visit her. If I'm not busy.

My phone started beeping making me snap back to reality. The ID read Darlene.

"Hello?" I sigh,

"Elliot, you need to come here right now." She says hanging up right away. Her voice was pure panic.
