The 18th of January 2028
(Elijah's pov)
"Elijah your a heartless fuck." I flinched at that, she wasn't taking it well, obviously after all I had just broken up with her. The letter explaining everything I slipped into her pocket seemingly forgotten.
"TO THINK I LOVED SOMEONE LIKE YOU" She roared anger and a bitter hate dripping from each and every syllable, I still did, but it was either this or have everyone know my past, something I had tried so hard to bury and forget.
Is it sad that I'm willing to have her hate me for the rest of our lives, probably "5 years, FIVE FUCKING YEARS" her yell interrupted my thoughts
My silence seemed to infuriate her more "I never want to see you ever again." Her anger and rage went from bubbling magma, evolving into an ice cold Arctic tundra , before storming off , I went the opposite way.
Her curses fading into the distance but each and every curse lingered in my mind as I began to wander , my mind drifting towards the circumstances that got me into this mess
The vibration of my phone sent the spiralling throughs to a screeching halt , my shaky hand dove into my pocket pulling it from my pocket, the lock screen riddled with texts from friends, swiftly pulling off a glove and unlocking my phone .
"The news of our break up has already spread already." I remarked tiredly as I scrolled through the notification , before stopping on one , it read 'call me when you're done'.
"Fucking Nathan." My other hand reached into the other pocket of my black coat ,I pulled out a box of cigarettes .
"Elijah, How'd it go ?" He spoke with an irritating mockery of innocence
"Drop the pleasantries, the hell do you want." I responded coldly.
"Ouch Elijah, here I was thinking we were friend!" he responded with fainted hurt
"Nathen, get to the damn point." his insufferable nature finally getting on my nerves
"Ughhh you're no fun !!" he whined. He paused for a couple of moments "meet me in the abandoned factory, alone." He finally said.
"Alright, what time ?" I asked tiredly.
"Be there between 9 - 10 pm" he said after a moment of thought.
I checked the time , it was currently 11 am .
"Alright, I'll be there." after mentally reviewing today's schedule, before hanging up .
Looking up from my meanderings I found myself in a park by my apartment , sitting on a bench ,
Sitting on the bench holding a box of cigarettes in 1 hand and a phone in the other standing up, he threw the box into a nearby bin .
"Fuck sake , this situation is so so fucked" I said to myself finally letting the dam of emotions loose, I sad there for a solid 30 minutes, my head resting in my hands , my elbows resting on my knees.
After a half an hour brooding I stood up before walking to my apartment.
The walk up the stairs in my apartment felt like an eternity, finally reaching the door I pulled my key with a practiced ease I unlocked my door, I walked through the living room and into my room.
Grabbing the keys to my motorbike, I began to walk towards the door. I paused for a moment after remembering something, walking towards my closet.
"Where did I put it ?" I murmured a couple times towards myself as I searched a couple drawers.
Finding it finally, it was a key, walking over to my bed , crouching down. I reached under my bed and grabbed a hold of a metal box , pulling it closer to me. The metal box was a safe. The safe was seeing the sun for the first time in a long time.
The safe needed a key and a 4 digit number and a key, swiftly entering the number, 4741 and slid the key into the keyhole
I pulled the safe's door open slowly, afraid to see the contents of the box , a box of .45 ACP bullets ,a magazine and a pistol, a colt 1911.
The pistol, the pistol that killed him, sat in the same condition as the day I left it there.
I calmly loaded the magazine before sliding it into the gun, before triple checking if the safety was on. Finally I placed it in my pocket.
I quickly stood back up, walked over to my desk and picked up the helmet which slid onto my head.
Before exiting my apartment, I scribbled a note for my roommate James that simply said 'I'll be home late, going for a long ride.'

"Elijah your a heartless fuck" he flinched at that, I was to angry to care.
he had been different lately and not in a good way and him breaking up with me was the straw that broke the camel's back.
"TO THINK I EVER LOVED SOMEONE LIKE YOU" i screamed at him, the haunted look on his face told me he understood the double meaning to my words.
"Five year, FIVE FUCKING YEARS." The shame and guilt in his eyes forced me to stop what I was going to say.
"I never want to see you ever again." I spat venomously before storming off .
He lingered for a moment longer before walking the opposite direction
Tears began streaming down my face as my hand dove into the pocket of my jacket , fumbling with the lock screen.
Going into a group chat , the calm chatting was about to be ruined with what I was about to say.
The message simply said 'Eli broke up with me.' The group chat went silent for a moment before it erupts into chaos. I swiftly exited the group chat.
My phone buzzed from a message from Nathan
'u wanna talk about it ?' I didn't want to talk about it so I made that clear.
'No.' I responded
'Alr , I'll be here if ya want to talk bout it.' he responded swiftly, I didn't like how swiftly he responded.
'I just wanna go to sleep.' I responded after a moment of thought .
I looked up from my phone to find at the entrance to my apartment complex, I swiftly entered and walked into the elevator .
I tapped the button for the second floor and leant against the elevator wall, a shaky breath escaped my throat.
"I hate not knowing what's going on." I grumbled tiredly, my head softly tapping against the wall.
"Ughhhhhhh, this is so fucked." I spat tiredly as the elevator screeched to a halt , I pushed off the wall as the door opened.
I stormed through the hallway where my apartment was at the end of it, the door next to mine opened and my elderly neighbour walked out.
"Oh Miss Davis, dear how have you been ?" She greeted me .
" Hello Mrs Ross, I've been better." I replied tiredly.
"Oh no, dear, does Elijah know ? " She asked, genuinely concerned.
" He broke up with me." I said , barely holding back tears.
" Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't know" She apologised almost instantly.
" No, it's fine, it happened recently" I responded softly "I'm just going to sleep and try to clear my head" I said softly.
"Alright, get some rest dear." She said gently as I unlocked the door , walking through the living room I went straight to my bedroom.
I took my jacket off and flung it over my desk chair before prompting flopped face first into my pillow.
I laid there for a long time, in a limbo state of sad , angry and tiredness. "fucking Elijah." I grumbled tiredly "fucking Nathan." I grumbled again.
I lazily rolled over and sat up , I stood and made my way to the kitchen. I opened a cupboard and reached up to grab a mug.
It was a mug that Elijah had gotten me half way through a road trip almost 3 years ago. I was tempted to throw it out but I liked the thing too much.
"Ughhhhhh" I groaned tiredly , before my thoughts could spiral the rumble of a motorcycle, reflectively looking out the window it was a familiar motorcycle, it was Elijah's midnight blue honda CB- something
The mention of Elijah reminded me that I had to get something from his apartment, so I placed the mug onto the kitchen counter.
I walked back into my room and picked up my phone and called his phone, it only took 2 moments for him to answer.
"What's up ?" He asked tiredly.
" Elijah, I left a couple things in your apartment, when can I come and pick them up ?" I asked coldly
"Hmmm, I'm going out for a long ride, up to Prinnston, I won't be back till about 11 or 12 tonight." he started genuinely thinking about it .
"so you could ask James to let you get your stuff when he gets back from work or wait till Tomorrow" he finishes.
"What time tomorrow ?" I asked impatiently.
"You free around 1, 2 pm ?" he answered with a question lazily. He already knew I was , I don't have any classes or work around that time usually.
"Sounds good to me" I responded before hanging up.
