The Sound of a Dark Heart

A Memorable Birthday (Lemon)

Amber dressed, and was about to knock on Elle's door, but didn't. She texted Jeff, who texted back soon after to meet up. Just as she threw on her leather jacket and pulled on her boots to leave, Elle emerged from her room. She looked messy, her hair messed up and makeup smeared. Amber didn't know what to think, except that she wanted to leave. "Hey, wait a sec, kay?" Elle said as she went into the bathroom to clean up a bit. Amber cringed as Elle kissed her on the cheek as she walked past. She really didn't know what to think, really. Too many mixed signals. For her own sanity, She started smoking a blunt alone, while she waited for the ever unpredictable Elle to finish up. She Eventually texted Jeff to just come up, which he did. Amber and Jeff played video games until Elle came in, looking slightly less in the bag, and had clean clothes on. Jeff asked Amber to pick a place to eat and they all went to a low key dive bar that had great food and cheap beer. They took a cab, knowing none of them would be any good driving home after. The first pitcher, Elle didn't touch any. After the second came however, she drank most of it. They ordered a bunch of wings and pizza, which only Amber and Jeff touched. Amber was embarrassed as Elle drank more and more, and got louder and louder. Jeff and Amber decided to play some pool while Elle excused herself to go vomit. " So, what's her deal anyway?" Jeff asked. Amber shrugged. " I thought she was a mad cool chick... until I moved in with her." Jeff frowned. Then he smiled and said "Well Amber, I think you are a mad cool chick! Hee hee." Jeff was super cutesy, but Amber was beginning to enjoy his company more and more. Especially since Elle was drifting further and further away. Amber knocked a ball off the pool table. "Shit" She said picking the ball up. Jeff giggled. "Want me to help you there sweetie?" He asked sweetly. As he got behind her, a woman screamed from the bathroom. They both knew exactly who was the cause of the scream. Amber made her way threw the gathering crowd to where Elle was in a locked bathroom stall, slumped on the floor. There was a used needle on the floor near her as well as a lighter and a spoon. She still had a belt wrapped tightly around her left arm. After talking to police and emts for the next two hours, Amber was in a pretty bad mood. Her birthday had always been cursed. From the time where her father picked her up by her collar and slammed her against the back wall in a fast food place, to having a party no one showed up at, this was still one of the worst birthdays she had ever had. She had suspected Elle was doing something for awhile, but she also had no proof. She was also going threw her own shit, feeling like maybe Elle didn't feel anything for her except sexual desires. Amber and Jeff sat in the er waiting room, hoping to find out if Elle was going to be okay. Amber opened a random magazine and pretended to read, but all she could think about was how much Elle changed that night they first slept together. When they first met, She had been job hunting so she could get out of her dad's house again. She arrived at Turkey Ho's Grand Round Bar and Barbecue Eats and asked for an application. As she was turning to leave, she saw a woman her age who looked a bit like Nancy from the craft. All black clothes, a nose ring, wild black hair. She smiled and Amber felt nervous, so she just walked away like she always did. The doctor eventually came back, and told them they could see Ellen for a little bit. They went back to the room. Amber mentally prepared herself for dealing with her roommate in her current condition. As they went into the room Elle was in, Amber noticed all the monitors. Being a cardiophile is a pain in the ass when someone you are attracted to has there beating heart showing on a monitor and the sound of the blood pressure cuff tightening around Ellen's arm was almost enough to send Amber on a one way trip to the bathroom. "Hey guys." Said Elle, way more sober than she was. Amber sat down in one of the chairs, and Jeff the other. They sat in silence, until Jeff excused himself to go to the rest room. The only sound was the light beeping of the heart monitor and the occasional inflating of the cuff. Amber crossed her legs and stared at a random spot on the wall, until she noticed that Elle was staring at her. Amber looked up at Elle, and as much as she tried to be mad, she was still very drawn to her. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you..." Elle started to say. Amber kissed her and she kissed back. Elle nibbled gently on Amber's ear lobe then whispered "Want me to touch you? I know you're turned on." Amber was trying so hard to hold back the urges she had, but Elle had other ideas. She unbuttoned Amber's pants and began to gently finger her. Amber moaned into Elle's mouth as she felt herself of the verge of orgasm. She came as Elle's rapid heart rate set the alarm off on the monitor. Elle licked her fingers sensually while Amber quickly fixed her pants and sat back down in the chair. As the nurse came in to check on Elle, Amber started thinking in a way things weren't all bad on this birthday. At least she got to have the biggest orgasm she had ever experienced.
