chapter seven: Luck Is On My Side
It's over. It's all over. I don't know if peach saw me hit her. And if she did, then that means, she knows me. And she'll be able to recognize me. I'm ruined.
But let's look on the bright side, you're in my car. I'm driving you to the hospital where your female stalker is in. Even though you're crying your eyes out, at least you're with me. Thank God, I cleaned my car yesterday. Or else, I would be in hell of a trouble.
"Beck, relax, she'll be fine.
I hope not.
"I hope so, " You said, sniffing. "I just don't know what I'll do if anything happens to her."
Hopefully, move in with me.
"Thanks for taking me, Ellie."
Oh, we're doing nicknames now?
"No, problem, Becky. "
You busted out into sobs as I said that, earning a wide eyes from me.
"What's wrong? "
"It's just, " you sniffed. " peach used to call me Becky!"
Oh, this is gonna be a long drive.

The nurse on duty, let us in after we told her who we were here to see. You knocked lightly on the door, before going in.
"Becky!" The little bitch greeted, smiling as you came in.
"Hi, peach. " You responded.
"It's so good to see you becky! How are you?"
"I should ask you that, how are you feeling?"
"Better, now that you're here."
Oh my God, she's flirting and you don't even know it.
"Who's this? " peach asked, her eyes showing pure judgement.
"Oh, peach? This is Elliott, my friend. "
Friend? Hmm, I can work with that.
"Hey peach, I'm so glad you're okay." I told her sending her the fakest smile ever.
" Thank you, Elliet." she said, her smile as fake as plastic.
"It's Elliott. " I corrected.
"Oh, sorry. "
It's so obvious she said that in purpose. I mean what kind of name is Elliet?
"Um, beck?" she began a sweet smile plastered on her face. "Could you tell your friend to leave? I mean someone tried to kill me, so I'm not very comfortable around strangers. Pls, make him leave. "
You sighed then looked at me. You have me a sad smile, your face apologetic. Let me save you the trouble, beck.
"It's fine. I'll leave." I said before you could open your mouth.
" Bye, peach. I hope you get better! " I said cheerfully, a forced smile on my face, as I turned to leave.
"Thanks, Elliet!" she answered, as I reached the door.
I turned back and turned to her . No more fake smiles. A full glare on display.
"It's Elliott." I said through gritted teeth.
She smiled sheepishly at me, and shrugged.
"Sorry, I keep forgetting. " she muttered to beck.
Don't worry peach, I'll make sure you never forget again.
******
I don't know what to do. Seeing peach today, gave me assurance that she doesn't remember I was the one that hit her. But still, I'm getting a pretty good feeling, she doesn't want me around. I'm gonna take a guess that it's because she finds me a threat. She thinks I'm gonna steal you away from her, beck. The same way I feel about her.
But she's still in the save zone. Cause I'm pretty sure you don't do girls.
Which means, peach isn't exactly a...
"Elliott! "
I snapped out of my train of thought, as I heard my name, I looked up to find Emmy starring at me, confusion written on her face.
"Hmm? "
"Dude, you were in there deep! " she hollered.
"Sorry, what were you saying?" I asked shaking my head.
"Your lady friend's here."
"Beck? "
"Yeah, why? Do you have another one? "
I ignored her with an eyeroll, and walked over to you.
"Just who I was thinking about. " I said as i got there.
"I'm just in time then." You replied, smiling.
"Aww. You don't have a doughnut with you?"I asked, pouting a little.
"Don't expect that to be a daily thing. " you replied, crossing your arm.
"Meanie. " I muttered.
Your face broke into a smile as then a full laughter.
"Fine. I guess I could bring you doughnuts once in a while."
"I would love that." I beamed.
"How's peach? " I asked. Not that I really care but you know, I had to ask.
"she's okay. She's doing much better now. Actually, that's what I'm here to talk to you about? "
"Peach? " I asked.
You nodded. "Yeah. "
What did she do now?
"Well, go on. Tell me. What's wrong? " I asked slowly.
You exhaled, bitting your lips with your tongue.
"She says she not comfortable around anyone anymore. She feels scared whenever she thinks about the accident and this whole city in general scares her. So, she wants to move to paris."
I almost smiled. But that's a good thing right?
"So what's wrong with that? I mean if that's what she thinks is best for her, then I don't see a problem with it. " I said shrugging.
"I didn't either. Until she said she wants me to go with her."
What?! I'm finally just getting closer to you and now peach wants to take you away from me! I didn't think she was a problem before, but now, she definitely is.
She has to go. Fast.
Shortest chapter ever! Sorry, guys! I really, really, really am. It's just I'm getting fed up with this story already. That's the problem with me. I get tired of stuff too fast. But the good news is my other book is up! It's called music and snow. You should check it out!
I love it a lot. And you might too.
Okay, don't forget to hit that little star!
Thank you!
💗Muna.
