The Summer House

[Berenice.]

After a while, Eli was completely off her head and had no idea where she was going. Her plan was to head back to the house, but she was obviously not going the right way since it wasn’t a straight forward walk down the road. It had been hours since JJ had left and she honestly had no idea where she was or actually what she was doing. All she knew was that she was yelling at innocent passers by for no reason.

Jackson had been laying on the couch watching a movie. He knew he shouldn't have just left her there by herself. What if she got hurt? Or lost? He was starting to get a little worried because it had been a few hours since he left, and she still wasn't back yet. He sighed to himself. He wasn't trying to make her feel uncomfortable or make her feel like she was immature. He was just a bit protective over girls. Not in a way that no one can talk to her or look in her direction. But more like, he just wants to make sure that they are okay and no one hurts them. That is what he hated most, when men mistreat women. He has been like ever since his sister got hurt.

As Eli began walking in the right direction, she started yelling at someone who had been walking behind her for a while. ”Stop following me!” She turned back around and walked home once again. Even if that person wasn’t following her, he had been walking behind her for a while so Eliza immediately took that as stalking, even though it might not be. ”Where did JJ go? How did he get back so quickly?” The person who she had yelled at was still behind her and she had been walking every which way, so Eli was getting annoyed and simply decided to stop walking, and so did they. Eliza didn’t know how to handle a situation like that so she just set off again but a bit quicker.

Jackson got up off the couch. He turned the tv off and went to the front door. He put on his shoes again and put a jacket on. It was a bit chilly out, since the sun was setting and it was almost dark out. He headed out, locking the door behind him, and went to go find Eliza. Maybe she needed his help, or maybe not. Either way he went out to find her. He walked in the direction of the bar. He saw two figures in the distance and headed for them.

Eliza began angrily talking to the guy who was following her because she honestly didn't know what else to do. She then saw JJ and quickly crossed her arms. "You left without me! Where did you go? He's been following me around so we need to go back to the house. Come on!" She exclaimed and quickly began walking off, obviously not her normal self. Eli barged past people as she walked, not giving a care in the world at what people thought of her.

Jackson walked up to her and watched her cross her arms. Looking up as El talked, he saw the man she was talking about. "Lets get you back to the house." He said before realizing she had walked off toward the house. He walked after her and started walking beside her. He walked up to the house with her and opened the door. He went into the house after she did and took off his coat. He looked at Eliza "Are you okay?" He asked her. He wanted to know if the man had done anything to her.

Eliza stormed into the house and just fell onto the couch. She ignored JJ’s question for a while, not thinking about it but taking the time to actually register his question. After a few minutes, she sat up and ran a hand through her hair. ”I’m absolutely fine! Did I not say I could take care of myself? But you left me so I don’t like you.” She then said and once again crossed her arms.

Jackson went into the kitchen and made some dinner. There was enough for both of them, but weather Eliza wanted food or not he didn't know. From the other room he heard what she had said. When he was finished making food he went to the living room carrying two plates of food. He set them both on the coffee table. "You did say you could. But I left because it seemed like you didn't want me to be there. Like I was in your way or something. He said and stood up. "I'll go get us some water." He said before heading into the kitchen. Grabbing two glasses he went over to the fridge and filled them with ice and water. Once again he walked back into the living room and handed her a glass.

Eli looked at the food, but didn’t want to eat yet. ”You left me so I’m not going to talk to you.” She crosses her arms and turned her head. Eliza was acting like a child, but she was off her rails so it didn’t matter to her. ”What time is it?” She asked and hung upside down off the couch. Honestly, it wasn’t the fact that she didn’t want to talk to him, Eliza just couldn’t be bothered to hold a decent conversation.

Jackson sat on the couch across from her. He started eating the food he had prepared. It was fettuccine alfredo with some small strips of chicken. He was almost finished with his food when she asked for the time. He shrugged and picked up his phone. He swallowed the the food in his mouth before speaking. "It's almost eight thirty." He finished his food and set his plate back on the table.
