Love me Endlessly

Chapter 8- Love notes.

"Hey Ella!" Shane called out. I turned around with a sad look, not wanting to exactly leave just yet. "How about we hang out tomorrow? Lauren and I are performing at open mic night down at Lucy's. You can bring Lyric and other friends." He suggested. I gave a smile, happy I get to see him again, and nodded my head.

"Alright. Text me the time and we'll be there." I smiled before turning, the smile staying put at the thought of seeing him again...

As friends of course.

I walked into the apartment building hallway and my ears filled with the blaring sound of Could you be loved by Bob Marley, automatically knowing where it was coming from. "I'm going to kill him." I muttered to myself, digging around in my bag for my keys. The sound of a door being unlocked filled the hallway and Mrs. Rogers; the elderly lady next door, walked out with a unhappy expression.

"Ella. Will you please tell that boyfriend of yours to cut down that damn music?" She snapped and I gave a apologetic look before nodding.

"Sorry, Mrs. Rogers. I will tell him right now." I assured her and she gave a grunt before slamming her door shut. I let out a sigh and unlocked the door before pushing it open. The music became louder, hurting my ears, and I slammed the door shut, the sound never being heard over the music. "Lyric! Turn it down!" I yelled placing my bag down on the coffee table.

There was no sign of Lyric in the house but I noticed the remote on the sofa and walked around to grab it. My eyes landed on a unconscious Lyric laying on the ground, looking almost lifeless. "Oh my god!" I gasped dropping my knees and scooping his head into my lap. "Lyric! Baby! Open your eyes." I yelled, tears filling my eyes. I quickly grabbed the remote and turned off the music before tossing it back.

Lyric's head laid effortlessly in my lap as I shook him, trying to wake him up. "This is why I told you not to do it! Wake up. Please baby! Wake up!" I cried, slightly slapping his face. His shoulders slowly began to shake and a smile tugged at his lips, making me scrunch up my face in confusion. His eyes shot open, pupils dilated, and eyes wide.

"Your face was priceless." He laughed loudly, sitting up. I continued to look at him in confusion as he jumped up, gripping his stomach. "You honestly thought something happened! Oh god you are so naive!"

My face fell at his words once I took in how he was acting. Eyes dilated, hands shaking, nose slightly running, and extremely hyper. I turned away from him to look at the dinning room table and saw his 'box' sitting on the table. Rage shook through me as I pushed myself off the floor.

"Are you serious right now?" I snapped glaring over at him. He gave me an amused look with a big and almost demonic smile. "You think this is funny?"

"I mean would I be laughing if I didn't?" He retorted with a crooked smirk. "This is what you get for hiding my things." He added crossing his arms with a smug look. I stared at him in disbelief and anger, balling up my fist.

"So you made me believe that you were dead because I hid your drugs from you? Are you shitting me right now, Lyric?" I yelled intense rage raking through me. He gave a chuckle and smirked darkly at me.

"I got you good, didn't I?" He laughed and I scoffed, the urge to slap him coming strongly. "Maybe next time you won't hide the thing that helps me cope with her death the most." He smirked sitting down on the sofa.

"If you would just talk to me about it then I could be the one to help you! But every time I try to get you to open to me about  her you resort to that poison on the table and we end up like this! Lyric I want to help you!" I cried, tears filling my eyes. He laughed bitterly and walked up to me, cupping my face with his hand.
