nervous ceyes and a scared expression.

 

She was speechless and didn’t move one inch. She breathed heavily.

 

 

I backed off smiling.

 

Show her, you have a duality. She'll be scared.

 

"Hey, Sara how are you after last night and this morning?" I asked.

 

"Good." 

 

 

She nodded her head and looked at the lobby desk.

 

 

I looked over to see her name under a reserved room for the hotel, I looked back to her.

 

I asked suspiciously. "Are you signing into the AUX hotel?"

 

 

She looked back at her name on the list and then me.

 

"Oh, just staying a few nights here, just getting royal treatment and feeling myself."

 

"Why do you only have your purse and a big plastic bag?" I asked.

 

 

She looked down surprised, as the door man carries her stuff to the elevator.

 

"Just staying the weekend, plus I already have all my bags up in my room."

 

 

I nodded again, growing less suspicious.

 

"Anyways, I'll see you at work, okay?"

 

 

She laughed drily, as if what I said was a joke.

 

I walked out the exit and looked behind me to make sure Sara was still there.

 

 

She walked towards the elevator, where the door man was waiting for her. Carrying the rest of her bags.

 

I walked down to my car parked across the street.

 

-- 

 

I fixed up the yard in the back since last night's party was crazy.

 

I wanted to plant flowers and wanted bushes to cover up the marks on the backyard fence.

 

 

Jacob was persistent on keeping the yard picture perfect, even the fence.

 

After, I went to 90 Rockers for lunch. It's slowly become Rikki's and Marybella's favorite place.

 

And even though I didn't like it much, I want to appreciate it.

 

 

It’s worth driving a couple miles back up to Manhattan.

 

 

I walked into the entrance and looked around to see if Marybella was there today, she wasn’t.

 

I ordered what I wanted, then waited for my food.

 

 

When I was fiddling with my phone, Rikki walked in.

 

I knew it.

 

She loves this place.

 

 

She saw me and went over to my table.

 

I was the only person in the restaurant area without someone to sit next to.

 

She comes over with a smile and sits down across from me.

 

 

"So, Elle have you found out who your stalker is yet?" she asks

 

"Not yet. Oh and by the way, i’m totally fine after last night's events. In case you didn't know," I reply.

 

 

Rikki looks at me sadly. "Oh i’m sorry, I forgot to ask how you guys were doing."

 

"So how's your cold?" I asked.

 

 

I gave a small smile back to her.

 

She continues talking.

 

"So, enough about me. When’s Jacob gonna come back, I feel like he’s not part of the group anymore."

 

 I sighed and looked off to the side.

 

"Jacob’s coming back tomorrow, I talked to him earlier today."

 

 

When my order came in, I dove into my food.

 

I was so hungry for lunch, especially since I spent my lunch time cleaning up the rooms in the house and the backyard.

 

Rikki ordered something light to eat, while I fasted on my meal.

 

 

Suddenly I get a call from Marybella, but I ignored.

 

Then, I thought, I might as well pick up.

 

 

I heard Marybella crying and yelling into the phone.

 

My eyes grew with shock, I couldn't yell or talk while i'm eating.

 

I ran to the restroom, trying not to interuppt everyone in the restaurant.

 

 

Rikki followed behind me.

 

When we got into the ladies restroom, Rikki made sure no one was in the stalls while I talked to Marybella.

 

 

"Hold, on what’s wrong Marybella?!" I asked.

 

 

"Mark and I got into a big fight, and I need you to pick me up." she said over the phone.

 

I answered. "Why? What happened?"

 

She took a second before answering back.

 

 

"Mark and I fought over something and I need you here now. I just need you here, like always. Please."

 

"Okay, Bella calm down. I might as well just come and pick you up." I said back.

 

 

She sighed then replied.

 

"I didn’t mean to get you high on drugs, i’m sorry and I can’t figure out how to apologize. But can I stay with you, until Mark makes up his mind?"

 

 

I answered back confused.

 

"Yeah, sure. But Jacob’s coming back tomorrow, so you’re gonna stay in my Manhattan apartment. Okay?"

 

She answered. "Fine, come and pick me up quickly! Please."

 

 

"Rikki and I will be there soon, bye." I lastly said.

 

I hung up the phone.

 

 

Rikki asked. "So, what’s with Marybella?"

 

"Only the fact she doesn’t want to finish her fight with Mark or something happened."

 

 

Rikki and I storm out of the restroom, went back to our table.

 

Rikki paid the bill while I walked outside, waiting for her.

 

 

We took my car, Rikki had to leave her’s behind as we drove to Marybella’s house.

 

 

When we got there, we saw things being thrown outside by Mark from the window.

 

I could tell their fight was over and Marybella was waiting by the door.

 

 

Marybella came out and got into the car quickly.

 

She didn't say a word to me or Rikki, just sat in an angered silence.

 

 

She didn’t talk the whole time I took her to the Manhattan apartment.

 

All Marybella ever said throughout the whole ride was okay.

 

 

When we arrived, she stayed in the car for a few minutes. Then got out to see the apartment.

 

Marybella looked up at the apartment building.

 

 

We all went inside. When we got to the elevator, Marybella didn’t say a word again.

 

During the long pause, it was the worst 15 minutes of my life.

 

 

I unlocked the apartment door and we went in.

 

Marybella looked around, through the rooms and came back to the living room.

 

 

Me and Rikki looked at Marybella, as if she was a lost child discovering a new place for the first time.

 

A worried Marybella.

 

 

Marybella looked back to us after looking out the big window.

 

"I love it."

 

 

She started unpacking, whileIi checked the fridge to make sure there wasn’t food in it.

 

Rikki and I cleaned up a couple things while Marybella got settled in.

 

 

"Before we leave Marybella, anything you want to tell us or something about your fight with Mark?" Rikki asked.

 

"Yeah, anything?" I say.

 

She finally spoke after a while.

 

 

"No, I don’t want to talk about it yet." she answered.

 

Rikki left out the door to the hallway, to wait for me.

 

"Marybella, you want something?" I asked.

 

 

She sighed and looked off to the big window.

 

"You’ll need to buy food for the fridge and if anything’s wrong, just call me. Like always." I replied.

 

 

Those were the last words I said to Marybella that day.

 

I left after I said goodbye.

 

 

Rikki and I went over to my house.

 

We caught up, talked, cleaned and even had time to decorate the rest of the house.

 

 

"Just wish that Marybella were to help us thinki of some color to paint these wall. Because pink, is her favorite color." Rikki said.

 

"Yeah, I wish she would say something about what happened." I say.

 

 

We stayed in silence for a while, then went on to talk about what’s going on at FARELLE next week.

 

"Can’t wait for the award show in the next 2 weeks. Did you pick out your dress yet Rikki?" I asked.

 

 

Rikki smiled then turned back to examining the last room across my bedroom.

 

Me and Jacob are planning to have turn one of these rooms into a nursery.

 

After we get married. 

 

--

 

Rikki left that night, while I spent the rest of the night relaxing.

 

I couldn’t help but think about what’s holding up with Marybella.

 

And why did she habe a fight with Mark. They get along so well and rarely fight, ever.

 

 

I wonder if Marybella will ever talk to us or at least mend whatever happened.

 

Then, I worked up the urge and called up Mark about what happened.

 

And he spilled after a while of complaining.

 

 

"Marybella was diagnosed with something, she won’t tell me or explain what’s gonna happen to her."

 

"Thanks for telling me Mark, you really are a good boyfriend to Marybella. Just please don’t do anything to upset her, remember she’s my friend." I replied.

 

"I know, goodbye Elle." 

 

 

Mark hung up.

 

 --

 

Marybella's P.O.V 

 

 

I couldn't risk to tell anyone about what I was diagnosed for.

 

It's too much, no one will understand. I look down at the big envelope and open it.

 

I read over it softly.

 

 

 MDS Hospital Center

 

Patient name: Marybella Machistan

Diagnosis: Unknown, Severe Side Effects 

 

Emergency Appointment: Very soon, 12/12/14

 

 

"This can't be happening, I can't. Not now." I said crying.

 

I palmed my hands into my face.

 

"Oh mom, please. It's not gonna happen to me."

 

 

I hugged the envelope in my hand and sat back up, to stop crying.

 

I wish I hadn't left Mark back at home, he's probably wondering if I left to Russia or something.

 

I was scared and didn't want anyone to know what was going on.

 

 

Not even Elle.

 

And I tell Elle everything, that makes me feel even more guilty.

 

Chapter Six: I Bet

 

"I woke up the next morning to see Jacob home, early in the morning. He surprised me and planned something for us to do for the rest of the day. I’m so glad he’s back, because I missed him so much. He made me breakfast and everything. We actually got to spend time with each other again, I still miss the days we had together, before everything changed. And to see us come a long way from when we first met in London to the ride back home to New York, it's pleasing. I can’t wait see where our future goes. Especially since my birthday’s coming up, we finally get to celebrate it, better than ever from what we had in London. My birthday will be the best, as long as I have Jacob. But, anyways I need to get back to finding out what’s going on with Marybella and stuff my ElleWooders. Bye see ya next time." - @SummerElleW_86

 

 

Jacob made a big mess in the kitchen trying to make me breakfast this morning.

 

I had to admit, him surprising me this morning was something I never saw coming.

 

 

Me and Jacob sorted out some things throughout the house before we left out to a waffle house to eat a better breakfast.

 

He's good a trying to make breakfast, but not as good as me.

 

 

Other than burned pancakes and orange juice with pulp, we settled on waffle house.

 

When we got our order, I told him about the crazy week I had and the incident with Rikki.

 

I hinted at girls night, which then turned into a big party.

 

 

"So what happened up in Cali?" I asked.

 

"Ya know, just the regular. You relax, beach, stores and tourists sites." he replied.

 

 

I look back down at my waffles and take a bite before one of us speaks again.

 

"What did you do for the rest of the week, since I wasn’t home for the weekend?"

 

 

I took a sip of my cocoa before I answer him. 

 

"Spa night, just hung out with the girls and visited an old friend from Paris I met a long time ago. We caught up and we're working on a project."

 

 

I tried calling Marybella a few times after the ride home from waffle house.

 

But there was no answer.

 

 

I had plenty of time to do things since it was a Sunday.

 

I went shopping for garden tools and other decorative things for the house and guest room.

 

 

I dropped Jacob off to the house after waffle house.

 

I drove out to my Manhattan apartment to check up on Marybella. To see if she needed help or anything.

 

I stopped in front of the building and got out of the car.

 

 

I walked around to get to the sidewalk, unless I wanted to get hit by the metro bus.

 

 

I walked up the stairs and into the elevator, pressed the number 5 and went up.
