Elizabeth Jensen waited days for Justin to respond to her messages asking if he was safe. He never responded to her, but he did text Clay. Clay picked Justin up at the bus station, where he was trying to run away. When Clay drove him to the Jensen household, Elizabeth was there waiting for him with open arms.
"I'm so glad you're okay." Elizabeth sighed as she hugged him tightly.
"You knew I was at my mom's." Justin stated hoarsely as he pulled away from her hug.
"You weren't texting me back." Elizabeth furrowed her eyebrows. "I was worried that Seth had done something to you."
Justin shrugged. "He didn't. I'm fine."
"Why are you so edgy?"
"Maybe because I'm done following you around like a lost puppy." Justin snapped at her. "I can't take it anymore."
"Justin, what do you-"
"You keep saying not yet, but when's the time gonna be right? Will it ever be?"
"I-"
"I'm done, 'Liza." Justin shook his head at her. "I can't keep killing myself over you. You just aren't worth it." Elizabeth was speechless. He had never acted this way towards her. She nodded slowly before rushing into her bedroom.
Of course, Justin did not mean any bit of what he said, but he knew it was better for her this way. She deserved to be with someone who could take care of her, like Zach, and she had that, but then threw it away because of him.
Justin Foley was so deeply in love with Elizabeth Jensen that he only wanted the best for her. He did not care about himself anymore.
Elizabeth Jensen sat in her bedroom, crushed. She had no idea how this happened, or what changed for Justin. She just knew that she needed to get high. Molly was the only thing that helped her feel absolutely nothing. She rushed to her drawer and dug out her bag of Molly. She sighed before licking her finger, placing it in the powder, and then injecting it. She continued until she heard a knock at her window. By this time, Elizabeth was clearly high. She stumbled her way to the window and opened it to show Zach.
Zach climbed in through her window and enveloped her in a hug. "Clay told me what Justin said." Elizabeth felt tears run down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry, 'Liza."
"Whatever, I don't care." Elizabeth whispered into Zach's chest.
"No, you do. Which is why you're probably so high right now." Zach shook his head as he pulled away from the hug to grab onto her hands. Elizabeth opened her mouth to argue, but ended up closing it once again. "He's not worth it."
