Lost Memories

5: Elizabeth

  I yawned and slowly rose from the comfy, comfy couch. Strolling over to the side of the couch, I grabbed my gray and brown bag and headed straight to the bathroom.

I changed into my white shirt and a pair of dark gray slacks, then exited the room. I quietly walked to the front door, trying not to wake up Karma, who apperently came in last night while I fell asleep, and Asano.

I giggled, slipping on my crisp white lab coat and headed out the door, my car keys jingling in my hands. I could hear dull rainfall outside, making everything grey and wet. In a way, it was pretty, but it seemed to be holding misery, sadness, and heartbreak.

~~~

I had finally arrived at the lab. Only took half an hour longer than it should have.

"Okay, I'm here. Finally!" Stupid traffic.

I stopped by the front desk to get my list of things to do when I feel something, or rather someone, touch my shoulder gently. I turn around a swiftly to see what, or who, it was, and I was greeted with a smiling Elizabeth.

"Hey Okuda!" Elizabeth waved, still smiling. She looks around a bit, examining the area. It's a lot colder in here than it usually is, due to the rain and its temperature dropping the air around its'.

"Hey Elizabeth!" I smile back as I turned around, grabbing my list and starting down the empty halls.

"Hey! Wait!" I stopped and turned my head a little to see her rushing toward me, gripping her list in her hand. "Wait for meee!" I laughed evily and started to jog to our lab. "YOU LITTLE- AUGH!" I could hear her yelling at me. I almost tripped laughing at her.

"Finally here." I stop in front of the double doors.

"Oh. My. God." With that Elizabeth hit me lightly atop my head and stuck her tongue out.

"Hehe sorry not sorry!" I cackled as we entered Lab 33. "H-here... put this one in the glass cabinet and give this one to the boss," I commanded her as I started to hand her both of the potions when the double doors opened.

"Hmmm... So this is were you work..." He evaluates the area, looking on the messy tables and at the cabinets full of... Stuff.

"So, you must be Elizabeth. Okuda has mentioned you a few times before," He spoke as he walked over to her, hands in his black jacket pockets.

"Yep, that's me," She was smirking at him, holding out a hand. I could feel my heart slowly breaking. I feel like I'm gonna pass out. "Nice to meet you... Karma right? She's talked about you too."

"Yep." He smirked while shaking her hand. Elizabeth was blushing. D-does she like him?!

No, no, no, NO, NO! I could feel the potions slowly slipping out of my hand but I was distracted and distraught.

"I like your jacket, it makes you look more dashing," She looked down. Karma looked a little shocked but responded, still smirking with that same smirk he always wears.

"Why thank you," he said smiling. They continued to "talk", getting along well. They were too close for my liking. That was it; the potions slipped out of my hands and fell the the ground. Glass shards shot everywhere and black liquid goop stains the cold ground now. I was trembling for some reason, too scared to look up, so I kept my head down.

"Okuda." Elizabeth's tone was strict, shocked, and hurt at the same time. Why was she hurt?! "We've been working on that potion for two months now! You just dropped it! Oh, nevermind. Are you alright?" Her voice softened and began to waver. Karma remained silent.

"I...I...I-I..." I was unable to speak. I put my hands on my face as tears started to fall. Turning away, I ran, as fast as I could.

"Okuda!" They both yelled for me, which I ignored. I'm scared she'll take him...

I don't want that to happen. She'll take him from me, out of my grasp, left with nothing but broken glass and the remains of a potion we worked so hard on.
