Hey! New story! Chapter 2 MIGHT be up later today, but it might not be. The rest of this story will be up when I get back from Hawaii.
Chapter 1
Marco smiled as his new boyfriend introduced himself to Marco's friends. "The name's Tobias Richfield. Moved here from New Jersey in the states."
I never knew.
I never knew that everything was falling through.
"Tobias?" Ellie clarified.
Tobias nodded. "That's right." He started at Ellie for a moment. "Got a problem with little red?"
Ellie shook her head quickly. "No. Why would I?"
That everyone I knew was waiting on a cue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth.
"Well then, little red. Butt out," Tobias said rudely.
Ellie stole a glance at Marco. Marco shrugged.
"Hey, hey! Little red, don't go looking at my boy like that."
Paige crossed her arms. "You know, Tobias. 'Little Red' has a name. Her name is Ellie."
Tobias turned his attention to the blonde. "So?"
The bell for the next class rang. "Well, me and Marco outta get our butts to class before we get in trouble." Tobias looked at Marco. "Come on, boy."
He half forcefully put his arm around Marco and dragged him off to class.
But that's how it gotta be.
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy.
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
Ellie looked at Paige. "I don't like this Tobias guy."
Paige shook her head. "Neither do I, but it's not my place to judge who Marco goes out with."
Ellie glanced at the clock. "We better head to class..."
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears…
-
Ellie watched Marco at lunch. "Marco… what's that?"
Marco looked down at his arm. Tobias stared at him intently. "O..oh… my… my neighbor's dog is a mess. I... I watch him all the time…
Ellie wanted to believe him so much. She didn't.
-
Let's rearrange.
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage.
Ellie opened the door to go inside her house. Tobias was staying the night at Marco's place while Marco's parents were out of town.
Ellie looked her phone to check the time. 6:36. Okay, so she made a few impulse stops before she came home. She dialed Marco. It rang and rang until she was greeted with a, "Hi, its Marco's cell. Do your thing. Ciao."
"Hey Marco, call me back when it you get this message. It's Ellie. Bye."
-
Say that we agree and then never change.
Soften a bit until we all just get along.
Ellie started to get impatient as the clock struck eleven. As if on some cue, the phone
rang. "Hello?" she answered.
"Is this Ellie Nash?" the voice asked.
"Y..Yes?"
"Well, well, little red. I want you to stay away from my Marco."
Ellie looked at phone in confusion. "What?"
But that's disregard.
You finds another friend and you discard.
Ellie heard slight yelling in the background that sounded like Marco. "E..lie! D…n't L..ten to h..m! To..ias! G..e me the p..one!"
"You heard me little red." Click.
Ellie closed her phone. "I knew it… Tobias is bad business…"
As you lose the argument in a cable car.
Hanging above as the canyon comes between.
-
The next morning Ellie woke to her phone ringing. "Hello?" she answered.
"Ellie? Have you seen Marco?" Paige's voice asked.
"Marco? No, Tobias was staying the weekend at his house."
"Well," Paige said, "I just saw Tobias at The Dot alone. Without Marco. He said he hasn't seen Marco all day."
"Should I go down to Marco's and see if Marco's there?"
"Yea," Paige agreed. "That might be a good idea…"
-
Ellie slammed her car door. "Thanks for the lift, Spin."
Spin shrugged. "Paige told me to. What ever Paige tells me to do, I'll do it."
"Just wait here, okay?"
Spinner nodded.
Ellie went to knock on Marco's door to discover it was open. She walked in. "Marco?"
The house was quiet. "Marco?" Ellie heard dripping. Marco or Tobias left the shower dripping. She went into the bathroom to turn it off. She stopped in her tracks when she got to the tub.
There laying in the tub, bound up, beat up, and hardly breathing was Marco.
"Marco!"
Everyone knows I'm in over my head…
