Only a Memory

I watch as Annabel mopes around as we walk through the streets of L.A; going from store to store. Just as we head to her favorite restaurant, Juliet comes up to us; a new guy on her arm. She looks at Annabel with a victorious -like smile on her lips; probably happy to see Annabel so distraught. “I’m sorry to hear about your cat; it must be hard on you.” Juliet sneers. At that moment, I completely regret posting anything about Sixx on twitter; I’m sure Annabel feels the same way.

“Just leave me alone Juliet, I did nothing to you.” Annabel calmly says.

“Oh but you did Anna.” Juliet smirks. “And karma came back to bite you in the ass for stealing away my boyfriend.”

“You broke up with him and Andy and I aren’t dating.” She points out. I sigh to myself as I feel a pane of heartache. “So why don’t you leave us alone?”

“Listen here you bitch!” Juliet says, getting into Annabel’s face

Annabel just pushes Juliet away. “No you listen here, I did nothing to you! You’re the one that is blaming me for something I had no control over. I’m sick of your fans attacking me on twitter for something I didn’t fucking do. So what if Andy loves me!? At least he admitted it to you. You’re the one that broke up with him, I didn’t force him to break with you. So will you please leave me the fuck alone and tell your fans to do the same!?” Annabel begs and starts to walk away. But soon stops and turns to face Juliet. “And another thing, don’t call a bitch a bitch; us bitches hate that.” With that, she walks way. I look at Juliet and shake my head before running up to catch up to Annabel.

“You feel better babe?” I ask her. She look up at me with tears in her eyes. She just shakes her head. I sigh before pulling her into a hug. I don’t say anything, just stand there with her crying into my chest. I have no idea what I can do to make her feel better; I feel helpless.

“Are you sure this’ll work?” I ask Ashley as we walk out of the elevator in Annabel’s apartment. “Isn’t this rushing things a little too quick?”

“It might be but it’s the only thing we can do to ease Anna’s pain.” He sighs. “Trust me, this’ll be a hell of a lot better then having Anna mope around. It’s not like we’re replacing Sixx, we’re just getting her away from the apartment for a week.”

“I just hope you’re right about heading to Santa Cruz for the week.” I sigh. “I hate seeing her like this.”

“Just trust me ok?” Ashley sighs. “Once Anna is away from the apartment, she’ll start feeling better and it’ll give me time to get rid of all of Sixx’s toys and clean the bathroom properly.” I just sigh, hoping this’ll make Annabel happy. This isn’t like when we were in high school and skipping school and getting tattoos helped her. This was losing someone, something close to you. I know it’s killing her inside…
