Once entering the house, my sobs became louder with every second. I shut the door with shaking hands and put my cold hand in front of my mouth, in order to keep my sobs silent. The heavy pressure on my chest made it harder for me to breath, my vision becoming blurry because of the tears that were escaping my eyes for the second time today. I didn't bother going upstairs anymore , knowing that I was not capable to do that right know. I kneeled and took place on the second stair. My face in my hands while my sobs filled in the silent house. It hurts so fucking much, not only Lev but also Lorenzo his betrayal. Once again, I realized how much I missed his absence. I missed his voice, his cute laugh, the way he looked and cared for me, or maybe I just missed having a best friend. I had Grace and I was so thankful for her, but I grew up with boys around me. I never really liked hanging around with girls till I met her, so I kind of became more comfortable around males rather than females. I was not having any romantic relationships, just pure friendships. They were all close friends with Lorenzo too. After losing Lèv, I become distant with everyone. The lump inside my throat became bigger and bigger, giving me a hard time to breath. My breath became soon unstable and I stood up slowly. I decided do drink something, hoping it would make the lump go away. With small insecure steps I walked towards the kitchen, leaning on the wall for support. I felt my body becoming weaker and weaker with every step I took. As if I was losing control of my own muscles.
Finally making it to the kitchen, I opened one of the cabinets and grabbed a glass with my shaking hands. Struggling to hold it, I turned around and filled it with some liquid. The water went down my throat quickly, maybe too quick to be healthy. I heard the front door being opened and put the glass on the table. I wiped my tears away quickly and took a couple deep breaths, with hope to control my own body. I didn't want to deal with my parents' questions right know. My dad showed up in the kitchen soon after and gave me a warm smile. I smiled back and looked away, hoping that he would not notice anything. '' I am in my room'' I mumbled and walked out of the kitchen. Another sigh left my lips. My emotions were a mess right now and I clearly didn't know how to deal with them.
The pain on my chest kept there, not going anywhere else. How could Lorenzo be with Dimitri after what he has done? How could he be so close to him? Did he really forgot everything I have been through? Or did he just not care? My mind kept being filled with so many questions, but I knew that I was not the one with the answers. I would never sit on the same table as him anymore, laugh with him or have a movie night. Dimitri didn't only take Lèv away from me, but he also stole my best friend. And now, if Lèv wasn't enough, he took Lorenzo away too. I lost Lorenzo because of him. I will never be able to trust him again, to look at him the same way I looked just yesterday. With much effort, I walked upstairs and opened my doors room. Locking it behind me, I let myself fall on my big comfortable bed. I didn't bother changing any clothes and closed my eyes. Another shaky sigh leaving my mouth. Lèv his handsome face came in front of me every time I tried to close my eyes. That man made me feel so loved and hated at the same time.
A couple hours later, I growl lightly while opening my eyes and blinking a couple times. It is already dark outside; I must have fallen in sleep for at least 3 hours. Sighing, I sat up and looked scratching my forehead, not knowing what to do or to think. I frowned when I remembered what happened in the morning and fell back over. I just wanted to close my eyes and sleep for a while, not caring about anything. Another knock on the door, which caused me to whine irritated. My parents have been knocking on my door every half hour and it is starting to really irritate me. '' I am still sleeping'' I shouted and stood up silently. '' open the door sweetie'' my mother said softly. Her sweet voice made me so fragile, I felt my eyes burning again. I just wanted to run in her arms and cry it out. '' I will come downstairs in a minute mums'' I said softly, hard enough for her to hear me. I heard her footsteps, which meant she was going away and took a deep breath before standing in front of my big mirror. I looked like a fucking mess, as if I was back to couple years ago. I grabbed some tissues and wiped away the mascara, who were now formed into dark circles around my eyes. I changed into my shorts and a loose shirt before taking my phone and unlocking the door. I hoped that Lorenzo isn't here, or at least disappears when I took place downstairs. He probably didn't have the guts to face me right now, knowing what kind of bitch he is. With small steps I found my way downstairs. Mum, dad, and the betrayer were sitting on the couches. I whined irritated when Lorenzo made eye contact with me and looked away. I forced myself to walk towards them and took a seat next to my dad. I snuggled into his warm, safe body and felt his arm find a protective way around my body. He planted a soft kiss on my head, which made me feel safe instantly. This man was my hero in my own messy world. He was barely there for us when we grow up, but I am happy that he learned from his mistakes. I always kept hate inside me towards him but becoming older also made me realize how hard it must have been for him. All he did was working his guts off to give us a perfect life.
'' Lorenzo told us what happened'' our mother started. Her voice was soft and caring. It made me instantly remember those memories I tried to forget so hard. I frowned at my own thoughts and didn't bother reacting towards it. They all know what I have been through and I am not planning to go through all of that again. '' Yeah shitfaced, good job'' I mumbled irritated to him without giving him a look. I could hear him sigh but didn't even feel bothered by it. He had no right to feel irritated to whatever by this situation.
'' I know that you are angry at me, but it isn't true what you have heard about him''
I chuckled sarcastically while my eyes start watering again. '' You fucking dipshit, are you really taking his side?''
My voice was hard, feeling too frustrated to control my voice anymore. I wiggled myself out of my dad's arms and stood up. '' Go back to licking Dimitri his ass, I don't want to see your face right now'' I hissed at him. My dad scolded lightly at my choice of words, but I decided not to go into him.
'' Stop acting like three years old and listen'' Lorenzo hissed back which made me roll my eyes. I curled my arms in front of my chest and waited for an explanation.
'' Once Jacob told me about Leo, I decided to find him and punch the fuck out of him for hurting you, I swear I did''
Lorenzo stopped and looked at me. I raised one of my eyebrows and signalled him to continue, I needed way more than this. I slowly took back place next to my dad, knowing that this could go for a while.
'' I found Dimitri and believe me when I tell you that I did beat the shit out of him. I also saw Lèv there, drunk and on drugs. He was lost Elena, really lost. I talked with him when he was sober again, needing some explanation before I killed him for what he had done to you. He explained some things. Believe me when I tell you that Leo just tried to save him'' he pleaded.
I tried to take his words into me, but it somehow was impossible. I hated Leo for months, telling myself that he was the one that made us apart. He could not be innocent; I just could not believe in that. All this time, I kept the hate as a way for dealing with the situation. Blaming someone I never met made it a little bit easier. Everyone always blamed Leo, even Jacob did!
'' Why didn't you tell me that you saw Lèv? I hated Leo for months for god's sake!'' I yell at him while scratching my forehead out of frustration.
'' What do you wanted me to do? You were basically dying Elena. You were in hospital for weeks! Lèv needed to stay away from your life, he wanted that and so did I.''
'' That still doesn't make any sense'' I whispered, more to myself than him.
'' Everyone blamed Leo! Jacob told me it was all his fault. You can't just think that I accept this shitty explanation'' I argued back.
'' Jacob did that because I asked him too'' Lorenzo whispered, and my eyes widened.
'' Why the hell would you do that?'' I yelled at him.
Why would he ask Jacob to do something like this, it didn't make sense.
'' Do you know how hard it was to watch you blame yourself for him? You didn't eat or drink, ending up in the hospital every week. Do you know how much it hurt? For god's sake! You needed someone to blame so I asked Jacob to do me a favour and he did''
After hearing those words, I felt as if my life was taking away from me. Everything I believed in was just a lie. I stood up and looked at him. He lied to me for months, letting me hate his friend, for what? So that I could move on? I shook my head, disappointed in him and my parents. My eyes started getting watered again, my view getting blurry. I felt my muscles getting weak by every breath I tried to take. As if someone was putting pressure on my chest, not letting me breath. I put my hand on my chest out of reflex. The next thing I felt was the cold flour and the scream that left my mothers lips.
