Will You Be My Friend?

Unforgettable Past

Hi there! I'm Elliot Annesley, a 22 years old young lady. My life has always been paved with adversities and my bad fortune starts from the very first day I was born. Yes, you read it right. My parents abandoned me on the streets of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

*Flashback*

I was of 2 years when Mr. and Mrs. Annesley adopted me as they were an infertile couple. We were actually quite a happy family of three until four years later they had a daughter and as usual I was disdained. They started to treat me as more like a tool for their daughter to play with, but I had been playing the role of a Good Child, until the day when Ella (their daughter) attempted to push me down the stairs.

After that incident when I tried to tell my foster parents about what she did to me they comsidered me as accusing her. They no more needed me as when i fell down the stairs I injured one of my eyes badly and lost my one sight. So, simply i wasn't able to help the household chores as much I did before. They saw me as a burden and an eyesore since the day Ella came into their life.

My Foster Father deliberately wanted me to sweep away from their happy family and thus he asked me to sign the "Parent-child separation" documents when I turned 18!

Nevertheless I was not weeping and begging them not to leave me but somehow I felt that now I can be what I really am. I don't have to be what they prefer! Maybe that's what called "freedom".

*While I was leaving their house with my belongings*

Mom (Mrs. Annesley) :  Elliot? You're leaving so early? Where will you go? With that small job of yours and your sight.....How will you live?

Elliot : Mom ya'all don't need to worry about me. I will find my shelter.

Mom : Let me ask your dad for hel....

Elliot : *smirking*    "DAD"? Huh! Where was your concern when he was driving me away from the family? You think I don't know about you'd always secretly bought gifts for Ella, you think I will not know you always took her to amusement parks while I stayed at home doing her homework? What I got after doing all that? You just came and simply said "Elliot you're my good child"!!

Mom : ...... Ella I'm sorry for all the negligence....

Elliot : I don't need your apology mom! If you can...Could you just call me "My good child" again? For this once and last? Please Mom?

*Tears rolled down her cheeks but deep down I knew that ultimately she too never considered me as her own blood.*

Mom : My....Good chil....Child....!

She continued sobbing while I dashed out of my room in a hurry as I knew that if I'd stayed there for longer.....I may not fell like leaving.

4 years later....

The sky was cloudy today as if it will rain at any moment but the air was humid so I didn't take umbrella while I was heading towards my office. Yeah! I've been living my life well after cutting off all ties with Annesley's but I didn't change my surname though.

While I was waiting for the cab and was running late, my phone rang....

*Ringing....*

A very known contact flashed on my phone screen which says..."Amilia♥️".

I got your back!

I was startled for a moment but then quickly picked up her call.....

Elliot : Hey! Amy!

Amilia : Hello? May I kindly know if the user of this number is dead?

Elliot : Madam the user is alright!

Amilia :  Then can I file a FIR in her name?

Elliot : Huh?

Amilia : Idiot! How could a stupid like you survived on this planet for 22 years?!

*She started lashing out on me all of a sudden as she continues......*

Amilia : I've been texting you for sooo loooong!

Were you dead or waiting for me to come and kill you personally?!

Elliot : Hey! Hey! I'm sorry about that! I just turned off the notifications. I'm soo sorry!

Amilia : Humph! Don't need your 'sorry'! Listen, if you dare to do something like that again, you'll be beaten up to death by me! Mind that! Btw you remember what is it today?!

Elliot : umm...Today.....*oh crap! I'm doomed now!*

It wasn't her birthday, nor a festival, neither any special day....Ugh! My Brain's gonna burst out! What the hell is it today?!

Amilia : What? Have you seen a ghost or something?

Elliot : No, it's just.... I'm sorry! I forgot!

Amilia : No worries! After your work just come to my place. Don't worry I'll not beat you.

Elliot : Seriously? You're not mad at me? Promise?

Amilia : Yes! I do promise but I'll get mad if you don't arrive in here right after your work ends!I shortlisted some series that we can watch together.

Elliot : Okay! You have my word then! See ya!

Amilia : Bye! Call me if anything happens! I got your back!

Elliot : Okiiee! Byeeeii!

I hanged up the phone as the cab arrived and got into it.

*Amilia was the one who cheered me up in my worst times. She's more than a best friend to me. I would describe her as bold,tall , energetic,amiable  and yeah with a kind heart. Though sometimes she sounds so harsh but her heart is as kind as a child's would be.*

With a blink of eye I reached at the main front of  Divine film station. I worked here as the assistant manager with favourable salary.

They were deciding to shoot a new movie with a newbie actress as Main female protagonist.

I didn't knew much about her but heard from my colleauges that her acting skills are fantabulous.

I took the elevator for 3rd floor where my working desk was. As soon as I reached there , my phone *beeped*

I saw a text message from my manager which says...."Come to my office to greet the new actress." 

My manager, Caesar Friedrich was totally a hunk but god never makes anyone perfect!

So, whether he was good looking but was grumpy.

As a result no one dares to approach him.

I rushed towards his office and took permission to enter his room. As soon as I stepped in, I saw a lady sitting on the sofa with a grin on her face. Yeah as per her looks, she was someone to be admired.

Though I wasn't able to see her  clearly due to her flicks covering up half of her face.

While i was all gazed on her, my manager instructed me with his cracking voice....

"Ahem! Ahem! You're just in time. Meet her, she's the new actress, Ms.  ......"

He didn't even completed his sentence that she interrupted in between and I think that was quite rude.

"Hi Elliot Annesley! Long time no see!"

It didn't take me a minute to recognise whose the voice belonged to.
