WALLY'S PLACE
"Heather! Heather! Kyle called patting my arm. "You look tensed what's going on? Don't you like here this used to be our diner and if you didn't like it we could change.
I blinked continuously biting my lower lips realising I had my hand wrapped on a fork that was stabbed to the bacon on my plate. "No it's fine Kyle's it's just I haven't been here in awhile there's a lot of pressure at home like what I should eat to how I should dress. I complained tilting my head to the side sarcastically.
Jules smiled playfully sipping his juice, "yeah I understand there's been a lot of pressure on you but you should get used to it like we did. He suggested flatly.
I lowered by gaze to the plate still biting my lower lips but not hard enough to make it bleed. "I don't think I've got an appetite guys I'm not in the mood. I replied pushing the plate to the side of the table untying the napkin in my neck. "Jules can I ask you something real quick?
"Sure you can I'd be more than happy to answer your questions. He said cheerfully leaning towards the table. "Tell me what's on your mind,is it a boy a relationship or maybe a crush?
I frowned pouting my lips, "Nah it's non of the following. It's just why don't I remember anything from my past. Like I'm a totally different person and every single picture at home seemed photoshopped like mum and dad are trying to hide something from me. I complained staring outside the window anticipating a response but all I got was silence.
"Don't you have an answer to my question or you're all part of the game? I asked vehemently but when I stared back at them I could see their faces as hardened as stone and their expression unreadable.
"That's the feeling of nostalgia the doctor said you're okay but nostalgia would be a feeling you'd experience occasionally. Kyle's said trying to reassure me but I wasn't having it and without a word I hissed standing up.
"Guys I'll be back I'm heading to the bathroom I need sometime to freshen up and when I'm back we're going home. I said hastily walking away.
ELLIOT LANCASTER POV(AT THE FRAT HOUSE, YESTERDAY)
The air reeked of pungent cigarettes fumes, alcohol and orgies contaminating the air. Loud music blasts playing on all sides as everyone continues to dance losing themselves to the rhythm of the music.
My eyes darts suspiciously and condescendingly at all corners of the room as it had been my first time in such a place and this time it was to see the annoying prick of a brother. The crowd kept bumping into me almost sandwiching me but at the last minute I was dragged to a more spacious area by a blue eyed girl. She was almost as enigmatic as the beautiful as an angel, her smile unfading and yet kind and polite, her black hair cascades her shoulder fitting her tiny frame.
She smiled finally letting go of my hand. "Hello I'm Mia looks like you're new here because everyone knows you don't walk through that exit but you take the exit behind the building. She corrects leading me to a lounge area.
I nod admitting defeat before looking upstairs. "Hello I'm Elliot Lancaster and I'm looking for...
"Phineas Lancaster that annoying son of a whore! She cursed balling her fist. "I know you Elliot he's always talking about how much of a kitty you are and can't speak up for himself.
My eyes widened in astonishment but I quickly regained my composure laughing it off like nothing had happened. "Did he really say that? Anyway it's nice to meet you but I'm not here for that I'm here to see him.
She scowled checking me out suspiciously like I had a bug on me before leading me upstairs to the room booked by the asshole himself. "Here he is Ellie just pray he isn't in there assisting the Sodom and gommorah.She hissed finally pushing the giant steel door open.
Instantly my jaw dropped at the sight before me Phineas was doing drugs on the ass of a lady while having another one down his junk. Disgust washed over me like cold water sending goosebumps all over my skin but yet he hadn't realised we were standing before him. Mia seemed unfazed but rather she walked sarcastically towards his seat dragging the two naked girls by their arms and shoved them outside shutting the door.
She smirked cleaning her hand with a disposable wipe tissue. "That's disgusting! Phineas snap out of it Elliott's here to see you so many up and speak to him unless I'll have you beaten up. she instructed in a baritone voice.
Phineas laughed staggering up on his feet before closing up the distance between us. His gaze lingered for a little while on mine before trailing back to meet Mia's angry face. "Don't be like that Mia I'd prefer to have you beneath me begging to be hhhmmmmm there's a kid here. He snickered pointing his finger at me before walking back to the chair. "So Davinci what brings you here shouldn't you be the little obedient boy who gets straight A's rather than hanging out with the bad influence like us.
I snort rolling my eyes at him in disgust before sinking my butt into the comfy couch. "Don't you ever call me Davinci asshole! I'm not here to bantering or canoodles with your entire nonsense I'm here to speak business. I said glaring hard at his unamused expression.
He sat up clasping his hands together before signalling a waiting guard to light him a cigarette. "Now calm down there's no need to be worked up already. So tell me what brought you here as you can see I was busy before you came over. He dragged the cigarette smoke finally releasing it's fume to my face.
The pungent odour of the smoke almost had me choking and puking at the same time but I endured it's choking odour. He smiled in satisfaction before bringing the cigarette to his lips. "I want your help in locating Jake's murderer and I want it fast before I start losing my mind. I said defiantly folding my arm across my chest.
His eyes widened in horror and his mouth gapped open with no words permeating from it. He didn't hesitate to burst into a hard laughter but that wasn't enough to scale through my decision. "What's funny Phineas I'd be pleased if You're having the answer I'm looking for. I chimed staring at him ferociously.
"You're the funny one Elliot and let me guess no one has ever told you that you crack one of the funniest joke of all time. He mocked bringing the cigarette butt to his lips.
"I'm unimpressed Phineas I also don't see myself as a comedian nor do i see you I see you providing the answer I need . I said my voice conceded and my expression hardened.
"The court already ruled it out as too much intake of drugs killed him and that was how the case was closed or you're implying there's more to his death than meets the eyes. Phineas suggested. I smiled clip nodding my face confirmed in a firm satisfaction. My hands slips into my overcoat and slipping out with a brown file in hand.
I slapped the file on the table firmly slipping it over to Phineas who couldn't hide his puzzled expression. "Well guessed phineas. This is the picture of Jake's car from the garage. I had to pay some extra fee to get this information out of the motherfucking opportunist and also to keep him quiet. I snarled locking my gaze on Phineas. "Nicolas had the car towed and destroyed right after having it fixed and you won't believe who else got involved with messing with the evidence and they paid the court to remain silent on it.
Phineas frowned the tension in the room escalating with each passing second. "Who else got involved in the case? He asked impatiently making me smile delightfully.
"Patience Phil you look like you've lost a bitch to someone else. I mocked reading his unsettled expression. "It's none other than Drake Xavier.
Phineas almost fell from his seat but settled in his hands gripping the armrest. "You're not serious that son of a gun. I'm not mourning for Jake I'd barely feel sorry for him but because of Jake's death I've never been able to get my life together. He complained dragging the smoke from the cigarette.
A faint smile played on my lips and from the brown file I brought out a phone. "This is Jake's old phone and it has all the information we need. How I got this phone you don't need to know all that matters is that you're going to help me enact my revenge. I said my voice laced with venom and malice but I knew what was coming and I had prepared for it.
Phineas smirked his eyes become curious and stoic. "Why are you telling me this right now and how sure are you that I won't kiss and tell. He interrogated his expression hardening he pushes the file back to my side of the table. "I mean I could tell someone else so I'm unreliable.
I stood up from my seat leaning towards him my hands resting on both armrest caging him in his seat. "I'm not telling you this because I trust you but because you're my trump card to getting what I want and that's to enact the perfect revenge. I confessed our gaze intertwined a knot of delight churned in my stomach because I was going to have the last laugh.
"What makes you think I'm going to help you or even listen to your crappy bullshit. Phineas spat his forehead creasing in discomfort.
"You're going to do exactly as I say because you don't want the world to know how you raped a female student who you buried at the trump game reserves or you don't want Nicolas finding out you embellzed his company fund by hiring a Russian hacker to do so. I pointed out throwing an iPad containing the videos of the crime he had committed. Phineas stood up flustered rage building up in him all his resolve fading away. "If you're planning on snitching or destroying these evidence I'd like to that it automatically uploads itself on YouTube so use some brain cells.
"Damn you Ellie I thought you were one dumb kid but you've outsmarted me and everyone with your pretentious and enigmatic nature. He compliments giving me the iPad which I took from him lightly as it hanged loosely from my hand. "Don't hold it loosely you'd destroy it and get me exposed.
I smiled wickedly eyeing him. "I'm not afraid nor do I need your compliment all I want is your compliance and we get a win win. You'd avoid prison and I get my revenge on Drake. He flinched tugging at his hair before discarding the cigarette butt.
"I'm in with the plan as far as I don't go to prison and that video remains a secret. He said sticking his hand out for a handshake.
I winked mischievously trailing a cross sigil on my chest. "You have my word Phineas I won't kiss and tell. I promised shaking his hand.
The tension in the room grew thicker by each minute the desperation in his face shone brightly than the neon light in the room. My mind was made up and I was going to achieve it regardless of whosoever gets hurt. After our handshake I took all the file on the table setting them ablaze with a lighter before tucking the sealed phone in my overcoat. The flames ignited on the paper burned burying the secret we both shared in the room..
