Don’t Think!

Elsie

I stayed in my room for two days, only sneaking out in the middle of the night to pilfer food from the kitchen like a thief. My clothes smelled and my hair was greasy. Depression weighed on me like a heavy cloak. I refused to leave my room and face my fears, preferring to hide away with the music.

Skyler knocked several times a day, trying to speak to me through the door. His words reverberated in my mind.

‘We can’t change the world, just ourselves. We have to bring our own beauty to life. No one’s going to give it to us.’

It pissed me off how right he was. The world wasn’t going to change, and there was nothing I could do about it.

I banged the keys on my keyboard like a child. Righteous indignation fueled me.

It wasn’t fair!

How was I supposed to bring beauty into my life? I wasn’t Harry Potter with his magic wand conjuring shit from thin air. What I needed was Pollyjuice Potion.

My phone started ringing from on top of the piano. It was Amelia. She’d called me six times already today. I knew if I didn’t answer her, she’d be on my doorstep by tomorrow morning.

Grabbing the phone, I clicked on the FaceTime icon.

“Sister mine, you live!” Amelia’s face filled the screen. Her big smile quickly turned into an angry frown. “How long have you locked yourself away in your room, El? What the fuck happened? What did he do?”

“No one did anything, Amelia.” I pinched the bridge of my nose and took a deep breath. “Well, Skyler didn’t, anyway.”

“Oh, it was that little shit, Rush, huh? Douche-canoe called me the other day thinking he had some juicy gossip about you and Skyler getting close and cuddly. I didn’t tell him I was rooting for you. It was none of his business. He’s just pissed at Skyler because the last album didn’t get him the clout he was looking for.”

“Yeah, he’s trouble. A little too into the ‘lifestyle’, as Skyler likes to call it. You should review his contracts.”

“Already am, dear. Anyone who breathes about you in the wrong direction is going to be sitting on the butcher’s block.”

I shook my head, frustrated.

“That’s just it, Amelia. You shouldn’t be playing favorites for me. If Rush has a legitimate concern, we should address it. You shouldn’t just go firing anyone. I have a problem with Rush because he showed up at my house drunk and high, not because he was an asshole to me.”

“El, you’re my sister. Of course I’m going to take your side.”

“Yeah? Well, let me play out a little scenario for you. Skyler and I fooled around…”

Amelia’s hands went up in a touchdown score. “Yessss!”

“Listen to me! We fooled around, though we didn’t ‘do the deed.’ But what if we did? What if we did, and it got around and everyone knew? How would that look for me and the label, huh?”

“It’ll look like you slept with the hottest motherfucker we have signed?” Amelia shrugged her shoulders.
