Moseying around Sephora at The Grove in Los Angeles, Astrid Sedin was trying to think of what to get her fiance for his birthday while also shopping for skincare since her supply was starting to dwindle down. But the new Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam palette caught her eye and she instantly forgot about why she came into the store in the first place. She held the swatched a few colors from the palette on the back of her hand when she looked up because something caught her attention out of the corner of her eye.
“That makes you look like a whore.”
A few feet from the Queen of Anarchy stands the woman known as Killjoy. Though she was nearly unrecognizable since she was not fully made up with the macabre makeup she worn. Instead her long black hair was pulled back in a ponytail that fell down her back and she was dressed in a gray t-shirt knotted to the side and ripped jeans.
KILLJOY
But then again you are a whore, aren’t you?
ASTRID SEDIN
What the actual fuck!? You’re stalking me in the real world now? Can’t you get over yourself and leave us the hell alone. Ask Joshua how much of a whore I am. He seems to like the things I do.
She grabbed a palette and stuck it in her basket.
ASTRID SEDIN
I’d rather be known as a whore than a psycho junkie.
KILLJOY
Stalking you? Don’t flatter yourself, Astrid. You must have known I do live in Los Angeles as well? And I do like Sephora’s cosmetics as well. It should make you wonder what else we have in common and if Joshua just sees all the things he saw in me in you?
ASTRID SEDIN
Well one thing I know for sure is the fact that he doesn’t have to worry about me overdosing or relapsing, if I’m going to come home at night. Sure, you might like Sephora, but you didn’t have to come over here and talk to me. Now shoo fly, don’t bother me!
Kelli, Killjoy’s real name, stifles a laugh.
KILLJOY
Would you rather me put you in the Cry Now Laugh Later again? I mean, I’ve been in jail before so I don’t mind going back. And if you think you’re going to get to me about “my demons,” you can rethink that as well.
ASTRID SEDIN
While I would gladly like to kick the living shit out of you, I don’t feel like being banned from my favorite Sephora. All I want to do is get a few things, maybe grab some lunch, then go to Joshua’s office and fuck him right there on his desk.
A slight smirk appeared on Astrid’s face.
KILLJOY
You mean my desk? I can remember all the times he had his way with me on it. Lil’ piggie, there is NOTHING that you and Joshua can do or have done that he and I haven’t. Has he taken you to Spain yet? No, he’s probably waiting for the Summer months. He’ll want you to pack light as he has a thing for prancing around on the nude beaches there.
ASTRID SEDIN
Oh he gave that desk away to the new guy they hired and we picked him out a nice new one. And do you think we’ve actually had time to go to Spain yet? There was talk about sailing the Mediterranean. So it’s highly probably Espana is included in there.
Kelli rolls her brown eyes.
KILLJOY
Sure, Astrid. Tell me this, what makes you think he really loves you? That he is going to remain true to you and only you? You’re nearly half his age. What can you possibly offer a man that is old enough to be your father?
ASTRID SEDIN
Oh didn’t you know that older guys prefer younger women? Apparently it makes them feel young and vibrant or whatever. He sure has no problems keeping up with me.
She winks and moves to a different section. Not allowing her rival to get away so easily, Kelli follows.
KILLJOY
Until he does. And then what? What happens when he leaves you high and dry for a newer model? For the next younger blonde bimbo?
ASTRID SEDIN
Stop acting like I’m the same as you. I care about him and not about where I’m going to get my next high. He is my high, he makes me happy. You just can’t seem to come to grips with the fact that you ruined things. What you did to him… I’m surprised he wasn’t more broken than what he was. I’m trying to show him genuine, unconditional love and that I will be there for him just like he is for me.
KILLJOY
Silly, silly, girl. I can only imagine what exaggerated fables that man has told you about me, about him, about us. I suppose that’s why he has picked such a young woman? But I admire the moxy you’re displaying by “standing by your man.” It’ll serve you well until the time comes and you realize that he won’t be there for you.
ASTRID SEDIN
Again, I’m not like you. And you checked out of the marriage long before he decided to move on with his life. You’re just a selfish bitch who can’t let go. He’s not yours anymore Kelli… he’s mine now. And you’re going to have to start dealing with that fact. If you’re so hard up for a dick, why don’t you try one of your little buddies in Black Asylum. They’re probably all so sex deprived and desperate they’d take you.
KILLJOY
Listen to yourself, Astrid. What kind of woman are you that proclaims a man is yours when he is still married to someone else? I don’t have to let go of him. Joshua and I are still married, Astrid. My name is Kelli Saint-Samson.
Kelli clears the steps it takes to stand within the personal space of the smaller Astrid.
KILLJOY
He. Is. Still. My. Man.
ASTRID SEDIN
Legally, yes… but that won’t be for long. We’ve been in contact with a good divorce lawyer to find the way to end this marriage with the least amount of mess. At least… I don’t plan on hyphening because I don’t want to hold on to any scrap of who my parents are. I want to be Mrs. Samson… not Mrs. Half-Samson.
KILLJOY
Ah...so it’s daddy issues. Now that explains everything. Intrusive, debilitating anxiety. Chronic feelings of insecurity. Chronic depression. Decreased self-esteem. Feelings of loss of control over life. Self-depreciation. Isolation. Obsessive thinking and intrusive thoughts about the abandonment. Any or all of those ring true, Astrid?
ASTRID SEDIN
I don’t have depression. I am surely the furthest thing from insecure and my self-esteem is just fine. If you’re describing anyone… it’s yourself. But for your information, they didn’t abandon me. Hell, if anybody did the abandoning it was me. I cut them out of my life for a damn good reason that is none of your goddamn business.
KILLJOY
Whatever it takes to console yourself, Astrid. You can lie to everyone but you can’t lie to yourself. Your heart, your soul, knows the truth and there is no denying that.
ASTRID SEDIN
And you say say anything you want to get inside my head. But the fact of the matter is that you’re nothing more than bottom feeding pond scum who is teetering very close to getting a restraining order. This is getting ridiculous. Like I said, even though we both live in the LA area, that doesn’t mean you have to approach me. You might think you’re a lioness stalking their prey or whatever, but you’re soon going to be finding out what it’s like to be the prey.
KILLJOY
No need for all that. Our meeting was pure coincidence. Besides if I really wanted to stalk you I would just come to MY house. You know the same house where you sleep and fuck MY man in MY bed. But you have it all worked out, little one. Deal with that as you wish.
A sly smirk crept it’s way onto Astrid’s face.
ASTRID SEDIN
Oh didn’t you know? We moved out to the beach. New house, new bed… so there’s nothing you need to worry about. So why don’t you just get the fuck out of my face and I’ll go home to MY house and fuck MY man in MY bed.
Astrid walked away from Kelli, heading back over to the intended skincare section. Kelli simply smiles before giving Astrid one last glance and turning to make her way out of the store.
