After walking through the door I sighed looking back at Elli. He looked at me, raising an eyebrow before looking me up and down

" Do you need something?"

" Yes. An explanation on why I'm here, and why I'm your fake girlfriend. I want details"

" Go change and maybe we'll talk, I only have a few more hours before my next big meeting.. To make you an official part of my line, going over your background"

" Wha-

" Go change."

I sighed, heading back to the spare bedroom. Changing from glam to gore, switching my dress and fur coat for a pair of sweat shorts and a long sleeve shirt. My heels for my slippers, I kept my hair down and walked back to the living room. Flopping down on the couch further away from Elli

" So... What's the story behind everything?"

" Well. Where should I start?"

" Uh, the beginning...?"

" Okay smartass."

I rolled my eyes turning in my spot, looking at Elli. He turned towards me, folding his leg over the other. Sighing as he rubbed his nose before looking at me

" Well. When my step dad bought the company from the old owners, it became much better. I am the main face of the company, but I'm not the head of it... Yet, my step dad's catch is, when I settle down with a girl he believes I'll be mature enough to take on the business"

" What about your mom? She gave me the fakest smile I've ever seen when she shook my hand.."

" My mother believes I don't need a partner right now, since I can barely stay stress free. And she believes me dating won't help my stress"

" But the ring..."

I glanced down at the ring that was still on my finger. I panicked and quickly took it off setting it on the coffee table, I looked back at Eli and he sighed as I rubbed my hand

" I guess you wowed her... With your sappy story"

" Sappy? Excuse the fuck out of you. But my mother really is dead, and we did move here from London. I have worked my ass off for years with crippling depression, dropping out of highschool to keep up with the house and everyone in it"

" Oh- I-

" Oh, no.. it's fine.. it's just a Sappy story, isn't it?"

I got up going to the spare room, my eyes filled with years and they wouldn't stop

" Liz!"

I quickly closed the door. Going and sitting on the bed, staring at the door across from me, I sighed. Taking a deep breath before I started to cry

" Liz... I-- I'm sorry... I didn't know"

I sat straight after hearing his voice. I got up, wiping my face quickly. Opening the door, Elli quickly stood straight from leaning against the wall across the hall

" I-

" Don't apologize again... I don't wanna hear it"

I took a deep breath. Looking at him, he just stared at me. Biting his lip looking down at the ground, he rubbed his neck and looked back at me

" I don't have anything to say.. But, my dad died when I was 8.. He uh, he had really bad depression and Od'd... I was the one who found him, my mom remarried a few years later and my old step dad used to abuse her after he moved in, they ended now she's with Roman.. I have a step-brother named Mark, he's got really bad anger issues and it doesn't mix well with his anxiety and PTSD, when we were younger he got hit by a car and now he gets triggered when on the road"
