Chapter 28: the Scientist- Coldplay

~•^*^•~ Elaine's POV ~•^*^•~

I woke up in the morning to the sound if vomiting. Jolting up and walking quickly to the bathroom, I remember last night. I remember walking into the room to the smell of alcohol. It made me worry a lot when I called and all I got was muffled and slurred voices. But luckily we both were home safe and sound. I changed into a simple sweater and jeans before checking to see if he was okay.

"Aleks. Are you okay baby?" I said as he comes out of the bathroom, paler than normal. He nods his head while having a slight frown on his face. I sigh and tried to keep in my emotions. I knew Aleks didn't mean to do anything but it was still kind of disappointing to see him wasted like that.

"Listen I know you're upset but it's not my fault." He mumbles. I snap my head at him and glare.

"Excuse me! Not your fault! Holy shit are you fucking stupid. Of course it's your fault. You got fucking wasted you prick." I snapped. I knew he was in a bad mood but he didn't have to be a jerk.

"No! You didn't fucking answer me so I started freaking out and drinking!"

"So you're saying it's my fault that you got drunk! I thought you were trying to stay sober Aleks! I thought you were gonna change. You promised me that You would fucking stop drinking until I was 21. What the hell happened to that?" I yelled back.

"Well people make promises and break them ok! Stop being fucking selfish!"

"Selfish! Fuck off! I trusted you to do the right thing and you fucking broke it."

The yelling went on and on for a good hour or two and the anger just kept rising.

"God damn it Elaine! Stop fucking yelling at me!" Anger boiled in me as I balled my fists up.

"You can fucking ball your fists up all you want, it's not gonna make me stop!" Aleks yells in anger.

"I don't give a fuck. I'm tired of this bullshit! We are leaving soon and I don't need this to be happening!" I scream at him. At this point I knew I was waking up people but I didn't care.

"Do you think I want to go!? Do you think I want to leave all my friends behind for you?! I want to stay here with my friends and actually do things. I have a job here that I don't want to leave behind! This is for you! Not for me! If I had it my way I would fucking stay here in Colorado!" He yelled at me. That's when the tears started to brim in my eyes.

"Fine. Then have it your way. I'll fucking go on my own. Goodbye Aleks. I hope you have a great fucking life. Aleksandr I hope your happy now." I said calmly trying to not cry but my voice cracked serveral times.

I walked out after grabbing my purse and slammed the door with him calling out after me. I started to run so I could get as far away as possible. I ran until I came to a small park and I collapsed by the tree line crying. I looked through my purse to call Eddie but as I rummaged through, I realized I left my phone on the charger next to the bed. The only thing I had was my money purse and makeup bag. I left everything at the house, keys, wallet that held only my credit cards, phone. I groan out and fix up my face. Luckily I brought my makeup bag for touchups. I sat in the silence for a good amount of time just thinking about the events that happened. Just thinking about it hurt me. Hopefully Aleks didn't come looking for me because I really didn't want to see him. I finally got up and dusted myself off before leaving the park and walking across the street to a small strip mall. I wasn't planning on coming home anytime soon. The first store I walk into is a small cafe. I ordered a small pastry and tea to calm down.

After paying I sat down in the corner on a small couch and ate my pastry in silence. I knew Aleks didn't know about this place because it was only a few months old and we almost never come to this little strip mall. My tea was hot against my tongue. I held back the salty tears trying to force it's way out as I sat in the silent coffee shop. It was so hard to process the current events. I was so angry and I didn't know what I was doing but I didn't want to give in to him. I guess you could say I was conflicted. Part of me wanted to apologize to him and go back to loving him but another part of me told me to go on because he said some pretty harsh things. I decided to head out and check out the other stores. When the strip mall first opened I went with Whitney to check out this cool clothing store because that was the only store there. Now there's so much more that I haven't seen. I walked into another cute clothing store. One of the workers greeted me and I looked around. I eventually was bordering the men's section when I saw a familiar face. Aaron!

"Fancy seeing you here." I saw walking up to him startling him. He smiles when he notices it was me.

"Woah. This is so weird. I was in from town visiting my uncle I didn't know you lived here!!" He said with shock. I nod and shove my hands in my pockets.

"Yeah. I'm actually moving soon to North Carolina for college." He nods.

"Oh yeah. I saw the announcement video. Aleks is coming with you right?" I bite my lip.

"Uh... Actually no.. No he's not." I say feeling myself get down. Aaron cocks his eyebrow up and I sit down on a small love seat beckoning him to sit down as well.

"He told me he didn't even want to leave. He said that he'd rather stay here and everything. Uh we kind of... Split I guess. It's my fault. I got angry and broke it off and stormed out. I kind of over reacted and now I'm here." He frowns slightly.

"This happened today? Oh my god I'm so sorry." He envelopes me into a big hug and I start to cry. We walk out if the store and sit on a bench right outside under the awning. Aaron's phone starts to ring and he talks for a minute but then hangs up.

"I'm so sorry I have to go. I'll call you though."

"I can't. My phones back at the Creature house, and I really don't want to go back right now." He nods and stands up.

"Ok. Then call me when you get the chance. I'll see you around." He hugs me and walks off to his car. Then he pulls out of the parking space and leaves. Now here I am alone crying. How in the world am I going to get through this.
