2b jasmine suites, san myshuno, 7:03pm
bailey kay came to san myshuno last week but unfortunately since elliot was tied up with rin (a hater), elliot missed the chance to see her. luckily, media moves fast, so the two decided to watch her concert via pay-per-view.
russ: so how’ve you been
elliot: um, not going to lie. not great. today was the first day i didn’t burst out crying. (smiles) work is keeping me busy but it’s just coming home that’s bothering me. i usually call rin when i get home….but i gotta find something else to fill that void…. today, it’s corporate pizza with extra cheese, a followup pint of ice cream, and this bailey kay concert.
russ: you’re lactose intolerant.
elliot: i sure am. but through bailey kay and this lactaid pill, all things are possible.
russ: (shakes head) i was going to suggest i stay here tonight but i’m sure in about (looks at watch) a few hours, it’s going to be a warzone.
elliot: it is but, i’m not going to stop you. you might want to go home. i’m gonna bring you down with my moping. you don’t need that.
russ: i’m your friend. i’m ok with you bringing me down. you’re allowed to talk about how you’re feeling. i’m here for you.
elliot: no. it’s not that. (sighs) the more i talk about it, the more i bring myself down. i have been trying to find that thing that’ll keep me occupied. tonight, it’s this concert. last night, it was watching old movies. monday, it was reorganizing and cataloging my record collection. and all of these things work temporarily BUT i am right back to where i started. i’m thinking about what she’s doing. if she’s ok. if she’s getting enough sleep. if she had a good day. and i don’t want to talk about any of that right now. right now, this concert is what i want to talk about. for the next 2 hours, i’m not going to be concerned about rin or what i’m supposed to do next without her. i’m focused on bailey kay, these dance routines, these costumes, these wigs. nailing these key changes for our next karaoke night, and and singing my fucking pain away.
elliot’s bottom lip trembles as his eyes well up. he continues to stare intensely at the tv.
russ: (uneasy) yeah man, whatever you gotta do to get through it but i’m here to listen if you need me.
elliot: i appreciate it.(looks down) anyway, what’s up with you and chair girl? you two meet yet?
russ: thursday. and um, yeah looking forward to it.
elliot:(squints) you look rather calm
russ: i’m not. i’m actually freaking out but i got a bit of help.
elliot looks at russ confused
russ: …from carson.
elliot: are you fucking kidding me?!
