Chapter 3
From Josh, to Ella.
{Listen to the song ^ Press play!}
*Jack*
"I'm going to work" Ella, said as she fixed her knee high, black skirt.
"Oh" I stood off the lounge room couch, wanting to leave.
"No, it's okay. You can stay, run around like it's your place. Make yourself at home" Ella smiled, gently.
"No, I shouldn't" I took a few steps towards the door.
"Jack" Ella sighed, "It's nothing"
"I mean, I have nothing-"
"Just lock the door once you leave" She grabbed her suitcase and walked over towards the door. "Oh and Jack"
"Yeah?" I answered, standing awkwardly in the middle of the lounge.
"That kiss-"
"Nothing" I answered quickly "Forget it"
She smiled widely "Good"
Even though I wanted it.
"Call me if you need anything"
"You too" she waved, slamming the door once she left.
I sighed, running my fingers through my hair to the back of my neck.
I've approached ladies my entire life, yet I couldn't approach Ella and tell her how I felt.
I walked around awkwardly and nervously like Ella was still around.
I fiddled in the kitchen and had a snack as I toured the entire penthouse.
Once I arrived at her room, I couldn't help myself but enter.
Everything was just so organised. Things were in place, the white and sea blue colour, all just giving you that peaceful vibe.
Her peaceful vibe.
She was slowly growing. All this money, she paid off her studies and sent some back to Nicolas since he had 'given' her some to start off.
She had the penthouse, the car and the job.
Though she never showed more then she deserved.
If she had a million dollars, she'd still purchase the $20 dress from the second hand shop, followed by the words 'What's the difference between a $20 red dress and a $300 res dress with just a logo? Such is life'
That, made Ella, simply Ella.
She didn't care about money, the rich or the luxury life.
I was attracted to her in many ways. Her physical appearance, yet her mind was a bonus.
She was gold, not gold plated.
I ran my fingers along her bedsheets, all I could imagine was her laying there.
Maybe it was just hormones.
As I ran my fingers along her cupboard, the sound of a slammed door echoed.
"Back so soon" I whispered to myself. I smiled, turned around and left her room.
"Maybe I did kiss you because-"
I froze and frowned, expecting Ella.
Josh.
He stood there in his ironed black suit as he closed up his suit jacket with a smirk.
"Jack" he nodded.
"How did you get in?"
"The same you do" Josh cleared his throat "Pretend the door was open but really, we both know Ella keeps a spare key under the flower pot outside"
"How did you know?"
"The same way you did" Josh walked over towards the kitchen. He opened the cupboard just by the fridge and grabbed a wine bottle.
How did he know the alcohol was there?
I watched him walk towards another cupboard and grab a cup.
How on fucking earth does he know where everything is?
"You've been watching her?" I asked.
Dramatically yet intensely, he popped open the bottle and poured himself a cup. Sip after sip, he slowly turned around.
With the sigh of relief he smirked.
"Don't play stupid. You think Zac left because he just didn't feel affection?" His smirk stretched.
"You scared off all the others" I raised an eyebrow, "And now you're here to scare me off"
Josh gulped the entire cup down and placed it in the sink.
"Then my job is done" he simply said, turning to walk away.
"I'm not leaving. You don't scare me"
Josh turned back towards me and slowly, dramatically yet seriously...approached me.
He stood a step away and titled his head to one side as he straightened his suit.
"Do you know what I'm capable of?"
I looked deep into his eyes as his head remained titled to one side, above his shoulder.
"Don't care, really" I shrugged.
Josh sighed, placed a hand behind his back and pulled a gun from his back side.
He scanned it like it was his first time seeing a gun, moving it in all directions and running his fingers along the gold patterns.
Instantly, it was aimed at my head.
I gulped, but remained hidden.
"Click" Josh whispered as he held the gun in front of him "Paw" he added, "Boom" he formed a perfect O with his lips as he moved the gun back beside him.
"And that's how Jack's brain was splattered against the penthouse floor"
"You-"
"Shh" Josh raised a finger against his own lips.
"I didn't finish"
Fuck he was crazy, playing out his own murder scene and narrating it.
"Josh is taken to court, Josh has money, Josh either walks away not guilty OR" he groaned "Pays some idiot to do his time"
He chuckled "Josh" he looked deep into my eyes "Never loses"
"Like how you said you wanted to 'protect' Ella but had Greg get to her?...by" I rubbed the side of my head before folding my arms "Simply, handing her over?"
Josh's jaw popped as he applied pressure against both teeth levels.
"You don't know what went down in my house"
"I know Ella almost died on your hands"
Josh took a short step towards me before stopping, holding his anger.
He never controlled anger?
He took a deep breath, aiming the gun in all directions as he spoke, almost like it was a toy.
"I didn't lose"
"She almost died"
"I burnt Fernando and his men, alive" Josh added.
I knew it. You fucking crazy son of a bitch.
"I will torture you before I burn you alive" he listed.
"I'm not running off. Ella needs someone"
"Not you"
"Then who? You? Almost had her die in front of his own two eyes?"
"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN MY HOUSE!" Josh pointed at me with the gun, sideways. "DON'T YOU DARE ASSUME"
"Assume? I'm not assuming. I know it all"
Josh came closer and looked deep into my eyes.
"Leave Ella alone, or I'll burn you beside Fernando. Not alive in some mansion, but I'll stick a skewer through the tip of your head, to your toe and slowly roast you in hell"
I held a straight posture and serious face.
"I'm not going anywhere"
Josh smiled, evil transitioned through his face.
"Click, paw and boom" he whispered inches away from my face.
He dropped one golden bullet in-between my legs and turned away.
He slammed the door and left.
I bent down and picked up the bullet. I scanned the golden bullet, my name marked onto the bullet.
Jack
I just laughed aloud.
He told Ella he would leave her alone, so he was too scared to show his face to Ella.
I don't know why he was after her though, maybe after all those days spent there, he fell in love?
Josh in love? I doubt it.
He just wants to fuck her.
He wasn't going to show his face in front of Ella.
As long as I am around her, he couldn't do a thing.
Two can play a game.
I wasn't going to leave Ella, and he can't do anything about that because he's obviously too scared to face her.
I grabbed my phone and dialled Ella.
"Hey...what do you say about dinner at your place tonight?"
I turned around and gazed at the penthouse across the street.
You're not the only smart one, Josh.
Bet you'll enjoy this movie, tonight.

6black - Worst luck
This is one of my fav songs and it reminds me of Josh, so I used it to tell you guys about Josh. What he thinks about himself and what he would tell Ella, about why he doesn't want to be with her and show himself.
