Complicated (Eminem fan fiction)

Chapter 9

"Christina?" He's questioning sounding very surprised but I just shut the door in his face and now he rings the doorbell like crazy which makes Anna storming out in the hallway. 

"Why don't you open the door?" She asks confused because I stand in front of the door.

"Because it's not someone I feel like opening the door for." I say.

"What?" She asks confused.

"It's dad." I say and go into the living room and sit down on the couch.

"Now that he has seen you're here then he ain't gonna stop, I'm gonna open the door." Anna says and I go towards the hallway again.

"Anna don't you dare!" I warn her.

"He's our dad." She says and as she opens the door. I don't get how Anna can be in the same room with him after what he did to us as kids. I don't feel nothing but hate when I look at him. I just go back to the living room and begin to pack my things.

"Christina." I hear my dad say my name behind me.

"Christina, where are you going?"Anna now asks me.

"I'm gonna find another place to crash." I say not even bothering to look at her or my father for that sake.

"Christina, where have you been? I've been looking for you." My dad asks me. I can't even listen to his fucking voice without feeling anger raise inside me.

"Far away from you." I say as I take my bag over my shoulder and I look at him. He looks weak now, he isn't the same scary strong man as he was when I was a kid, which does that I don't fear him anymore.

"I'm sober now." He says. 

"Good for you." I say coldly as I pass him and leave the apartment. I hear Anna shout after me but I don't listen to what she's saying. I take a cab out and rent a car, afterwards I drive home to my ex boyfriend Elias which is also a good friend of mine, we were together at that time where I left to move to LA. We haven't talked for years now but I really don't feel like crashing on some hotel right now, maybe because I don't wanna be alone.
I knock on the door and Elias opens the door and has a surprised look on his face.

"Christina?" He's questioning like he has to me sure it's me.

"Surprise." I say smiling and he lifts me up from the the ground and spins me around.

"Damn! Long time no see!" He says. He places me back on the ground and look at me. "I can almost guess why you're here." He says and referring to Jack's accident, Elias is also a good friend of Jack. We go inside and sit down on the couch. "Have you visited him?"

"I went straight to the hospital last night and I sat there during the whole night crying." I say.

"How is he?"

"He's stable but he's still in a coma. The doctor said that there's a possibility that he's gonna be brain damaged when he wakes up."

"Shit." Elias sighs.

"Yeah."

"Why are you here? Not that I don't want you to be but I just wonder."

"I can't stay with Anna."

"Why not?"

"My dad stopped by and Anna wants me to talk to him."

"It's down the hill for him, I mean.. He's memory is really bad now, one day he even stopped by here asking for you."

"I hope he burns in hell." I say. I really hate that man and I mean really hate.. He can drop dead for all I care because he made my childhood a living hell.

"You can stay here if you want." Elias offers. I didn't expect him to offer me to stay just like that, I kinda expected that I had to ask.

"Really?" I ask and he nods his head. "Thank you so much." I say and hug him.

"Damn I've missed you."  He says.

"Me too." I say and break the hug to look at him.

"But you know you have to give me something for the rent, right?" He asks in a flirty way referring to that he wants sex but I know he's just kidding, but I actually know that if he got the opportunity to sleep with me he would take it.

"Fuck you." I laugh as I push him.

"I mean it." He laughs and pull my arm playfully.

"Elias you know that would fuck shit up and then there's the fact that I have something going on with this one guy at home." I say and I don't know why I say that, I mean Marshall and I are only each other's booty call so why did I feel the need to say that I'm taken?

"Damn, so Detroit is your home now?" He asks clearly disappointed about the fact that I refer to Detroit as my home when I didn't grew up there.

"You know what I mean."

"How long have you and this guy been together?"

"It's complicated."

"What is that suppose to mean?"

"That it's complicated."

"How should he suppose to find out if we did do something?" He asks squeezing my thigh.

"Elias stop it, please." I sigh and remove his hand. I've never rejected Elias this way, I mean.. The guy is freaking hot and I usually can't say no to him. Am I starting to grow feelings for Marshall after all? No, I mean.. Marshall pisses me off and he's an asshole, the sex is good though but there's no way in hell I have feelings for him. Maybe I've just changed during the years and that's why I say no to Elias now.

"Sorry." He says and squeezes my hand instead. "It's crazy that after all these years it's still only you I want. Tell me.. what the fuck would you had done if I had a girlfriend and she opened the door?" He asks. That's a good question.. I didn't even think about that, I would probably run if it was a girl who had opened the door instead.

"I didn't even think about that."

"Because you're a bitch and you know I can't find someone like you." He laughs.

"Fuck you." I laugh and hit his arm for calling me a bitch.

"You know I'm right."

"You're gonna find a sweet girl because you really deserve that." I now say. Elias was a good boyfriend and he's very sweet so he deserves a girl who treats him well.

"There have been many but they ain't you." He then says.
