On My Own A Diggy Simmons Love Story Book 3

Chapter 61: FlashBacks

Elana P.O.V

I took Daniel’s words to heart. He would never understand or even come close to what I’ve been through. Tristen didn’t say anything to me and I didn’t to her. She knew that it was hard for me to even be near Daniel. When we got home, I locked myself in the bathroom. I hadn’t even realized that my make-up was running down my face. I turned on the bath water and filled the tub almost to the top. I removed my glasses. Blurry eyed; I cut my arm on the way into the tub. I sat down in the tub with my clothes on and the bleeding arm in the water. I laid my head back on the wall. I closed my eyes.

Elana’s flashback~~

I was in a bathroom with my gown on. My hair flowed down a little past my shoulders. The door was locked and the bathroom light flickered. On the other side of the door was crashing sounds and yelling. I got into the tub and put my knees to my chest. I put my face into my knees and started to cry. I looked up at the small dirty window above the bathtub. It had started to rain. The doorknob started to shake and I stared at it. A faint voice of a woman pleaded me to let her in. I scurried out of the bathtub and opened the door slowly. She crawled in and locked the door behind her. My small body trembled with fear as she looked me in the eye. Her bloody face and bruised arms showed she was beaten. She put me in front of the mirror as she cleaned her face. I was really small. She brushed my hair with a worn out brush and braided it into a braid. She pulled me to the bathtub and got in. She tugged me closer to her chest and slowly fell asleep.

~~End of flashback~~

I was crying more than I thought and the water looked red. My white knitted shirt began to get soiled in watery blood. But I never moved.

Tristen P.O.V

I sat on the couch and watched the Simpsons. It was 7:00pm and I had no idea where Elana was. I checked her room, the balcony, and some other places. I remember hearing some bath water but that was a few hours ago. I got up and went to Elana’s room again.  I opened the bathroom door slowly. The first thing I saw while opening door was her glasses on the counter. I opened the door widely and gasped. The bloody red water was frightening but seeing her body slowly sinking into it was even more frightening. I walked over to her and saw that she must have fallen asleep. Her face was covered in black make-up that had streamed down her face. I pulled her body up and she slowly awakened.

Tristen: Elana what are you doing?! You could have drowned!

Elana: *stays silent and gets out dripping wet*

I grabbed her some clothes and waited for her to change.  She came out and collapsed on her bed; closing her eyes.

Tristen: You still didn’t answer my question!

Elana: *sits up with an angered expression* I don’t need to answer your questions if I don’t want to!

Tristen: I don’t know what you’re going through but you need to cut it out. It’s probably not that serious.

Elana: You live in a mansion with BOTH parents and nice boyfriend. You are an only child who gets pampered. You just a spoiled child who don’t take anything seriously!!!

Tristen: You smoke cigarettes and act psycho! So don’t even bring my life into this. You have no idea what I go through at home!

Elana: You call having a boyfriend who’s doing a show in Miami problems? Let me know when he leaves you for a better chick.

I pushed her and she pushed back. She walked out into the hall and I followed behind.

Tristen: You’re a brat. I shouldn’t have stayed with you.

Elana: You the one who wanted to do it. I didn’t give you that idea stupid.

Tristen: You calling me stupid? *shoves Elana again*

Elana: *pushes back* Yep cause you calling me out my name so that’s what you are

I aggressively pushed her and she fell backwards down the stairs. She wasn’t moving or saying anything. I got closer down the steps and the tears spread away from my eyes. She’s dead. I killed her. I ran out the house and ran past the school; into the community of Diggy’s house was. I banged on his door and Russell opened the door. I was wet from the light rain that had come down. I pushed my way past Russell and into the kitchen where Justine, Diggy, and Iris stood.

Justine: Tristen?! What happened to you?

The words were dying to come up as I looked at Diggy and Iris. I can’t keep it in any longer.

Tristen: I KILLED HER!!!!! *sobbing* I killed Elana! She’s dead.

Justine eyes widened and Iris was in shock. I didn’t get the chance to look at Diggy because I was pushed on the ground. I turned over and saw Diggy in tears holding down my arms. He looked like a serial killer.

Diggy: What you do to her?!!

If I say I pushed her down those stairs he is going to kill me. I know he will. His grasp on my arms tightened and Diggy got angrier. I looked at his eyes and could see that she meant the world to him. Justine pulled him off.

I’m never going back to that house again. Especially since I killed her.
