She heard him coming into the house and was surprised it took so long. He was probably trying to suck up to her sister, so Victoria would meet him later.

Douche bag.

“Elli, please. Stop, what are you doing?”

“Get the f**k away from me, Shea Adler,” Elli yelled as she walked by him, placing the bag of her shoes by the wall, before she headed into the bedroom.

“Elli, she kissed me, I swear.”

“Yeah I bet! It’s funny how all these females kiss you, but you never kiss them,” Elli yelled, throwing clothes in the plastic bags she had grabbed on her way to his room.

“I don’t believe you, you’re a liar just like Justin.”

“Don’t compare him to me!” Shea yelled, “I love you, I would never hurt you and you know that. Why are you doing this? Why won’t you believe me?”

“BECAUSE YOU KISSED MY MOTHER FUCKING SISTER! My sister! My worst enemy. I can’t even look at you!”

“I didn’t kiss her! She f**king kissed me!”

“Whatever, your lips touched hers, you had her in your arms. Oh my god, why am I even explaining myself,” she screamed as she moved around him, picking up more of her shoes and throwing them in bags.

“Elli, please. I swear to you, I don’t want her. I want you, please,” Shea went around, bending down to her level, trying to get her to look at him. She didn’t know why he was trying to get in her face; didn’t he know that she was liable to knock him the hell out?!

“Elli I would never do anything to cause you to leave me. I love you, baby. Please stop, let’s talk.”

“There is nothing to talk about, Shea. You are a liar, an ass**le, and I don’t want anything to do with you.”

“You don’t mean that! Stop for a minute,” he said, trying to stop her, but she went by him, packing more things.

“Leave me alone, Shea.”

“No. Please, Elli. I’ll do anything.”

“There is nothing you can do to get that f**king image out of my head. Get away from me.”

“Let me try, listen to me!” he yelled, but she ignored him, continuing to pack.

“You know, I should have known no man is like you. Now I know it was all an act. You were probably trying to insure you have a way to my money, huh? Being with me gave you a one way ticket to the Assassins. God, you disgust me!”

“Now you know that is not true! I don’t want the Assassins. I told you I wanted to teach kids!”

“Yeah. I bet that was a lie, too. You’re full of it. You just want my money, my team, my everything. But let me tell you something, you aren’t going to get it from me, and you sure aren’t going get it from Victoria. She doesn’t have shit!” Elli sneered as she threw shirt after shirt into her suitcase.

“I don’t want your money, I have my own! I want you, and you’re f**king crazy to think differently!”

“Yeah, crazy to ever fall for your bullshit! You are just like every other ass**le in the world. Hell, you and Justin could be best friends.”

“Will you stop comparing me to him and get your head out of your ass?! You’ve been making me pay for his mistakes for months. I looked past it, dealt with your craziness, loved you, but you can’t even listen to me for a minute!”

Elli sent him a look of death before he went on.

“If you actually calmed down and listened to me, you would find that I didn’t kiss your sister. She kissed me, and before I could even do anything about it, she slapped me! Making it look like I kissed her. She played me!”

Elli rolled her eyes, “Why were you with her, anyway? No, don’t tell me. I don’t care!”

“She went to help me with something. I didn’t know she was planning this!”

“Whatever, you’re a liar. I don’t give a shit about what you have to say!”

“Stop, you are freaking out on me! Calm down! Give me a chance to explain!” Shea yelled.

He took a step towards her but Elli threw her hands up, stopping him.

“Fuck you! Get away from me!”

Elli stormed past him, but he grabbed her by her arm, causing her to jerk to a stop, “Elli, please-“

The crack of Elli’s hand against his face stopped any more words from leaving his mouth. Hell, it stopped everything. Elli just stood there staring up at him as tears rolled down her cheeks. She had never thought she would ever bring her hand against Shea’s face. Justin’s, yes. He was a complete ass, but not Shea. She loved him so much, and she felt like he had taken her heart and hit it with his hockey stick, shattering it into a million pieces.

He took a deep breath, moving his hand up to his red cheek as he looked down at Elli.

“Don’t touch me,” she cried as she walked past him, moving around the room, grabbing more things: her iPod, her picture frames of the kids, everything. He could keep the ones of them. At that moment she wanted to forget everything that had ever happened between them. She cleaned out the bathroom, and when she came out, he was sitting on the bed, watching her. When she saw the tears rolling down his cheeks, she almost broke, but instead, she moved to the closet, grabbing her suitcases full of her clothes and taking them downstairs. After three trips, she only had a few more bags to get. When Elli went back into his room, he stood there with the most awful look on his face.

“Elli, the things you have said, they aren’t true and you know it. You’re making the biggest mistake of your life right now.”
