The Red String {The Prototype}

Chapter 17: What?!?, End

* * *

Suddenly Molly came into the room with flowers in her hands.

"What are you doing here?" I shouted at Molly. Anger surged through my veins. I know she was there with Matthew. I know she did horrible things to Elena. Molly opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out.

I repeat, "What the fuck are you doing here?" A yawn rang in my ears. My eyes darted to Elena.

"ELENA!" I shouted. Her eyes fluttered open. When her icy blue eyes landed on me my heart stopped. She finally woke up. 

Elena's here, alive and with me. 

I quickly rushed over to her side.

"Elena, baby," I softly say like I'm talking to a small child and smile. Elena's eyes widen.

Elena shouts, "G-go away!" She starts shaking in fear.

Jesus, not this shit again.

"How could you?" she continues. Molly goes over to her side, engulfing Elena in her arms. Elena buries her head in Molly's neck.

"Babe, I'm right here." Molly lifts Elena's face to look at her. Molly's hand goes to rest on Elena's face. Their foreheads touch and I see Elena smile.

What the fuck?

"I'll make him go away," Molly says and kisses Elena's forehead. Elena nods and a tear escapes from her eye. Molly's quick to wipe it away as if it was a fire that was burning Elena.

"What?" I say quietly. Elena whimpers.

I go closer to Molly and my girlfriend and ask desperately, "What happened to us?"

"What do you mean?" Elena's voice cracks at the end. "You were my best friend and I trusted you. Then you left me! Molly was always there. She never left when I was crying over my childhood crush just ditching me to be popular. But then you came back and I forgave you. Even though you changed. You became a playboy, a player. We dated and I thought we were so happy, but of course, I wasn't enough to satisfy for horney needs. You cheated on me countless times. Getting blowjobs, handjobs, and fucking every girl insight, every time you could. You broke my heart. I never thought that this" she points between me and her, "could end. And on top of that, you created a rumor about me. Calling me a slut because I was "using you" for an internet dude. According to you, I used you to make some internet dude jealous and that's the only reason we even dated. Because you were so popular everyone took your side and bullied me for making you "feel like shit". Then I couldn't handle it." Elena pauses, sucking in her tears, but they betray her and fall,  "I tried to commit suicide, but luckily Molly was there and she got me through it. Before I was getting these creepy love notes and they were from you. You kidnapped me on many occasions and you raped and abused me. You ruined me, Ryder. I HATE YOU Ryder Nightroad!" A waterfall flowed from Elena's icy blue eyes. Elena retreated back into the crook of Molly's neck. Molly whispered some things to Elena, but I didn't catch them. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. 

Okay, okay I did do some of those things, but I'm changing.

I say to try to convince Elena, "Elena! I didn't do some of those things!"

Elena's soft voice pierces my desperate pleas, "Go. Please leave me alone, you've done enough." My heart sank, but I knew I had to go. I grit my teeth and sigh.

I give up and say, "Okay..." I head for the door. When my hand grips the door handle, I look back at Elena. Elena and Molly share a kiss and my heart sinks further. My knuckles turn white as snow. I open the door and walk out, closing it behind me. I lean my back up against the door and I sink down the floor. Bringing my knees up to my chest and leaning my head against the door.
