Chapter Chapter-18 September 1st
Faithlynn's's POV
Since April saw that faint bruise on my arm she won't leave me alone, she kept bugging me about who did it, so I had to tell her what happened.
She was furious, she told me not to let Reagan do things like that and not to listen to everything she ask me to do. Because it seems like she is ordering me around, but I don't feel like that. And I think it's the least I can do for her. So I do what she ask me to.
When April lashed out at Reagan I was afraid that she might get furious again and hit me or worse, April. But thankfully she didn't do such thing, April even punched her and she fell onto the floor, still dazed as to what she had done to me.
Realisation was written all over her face and somewhat guilt, it seems like she's going to cry any moment but she didn't, she just kept looking at me with apologetic and guilty eyes.
"Faith do you want to taste my ice-cream?" Venessa asked offering me a spoonful of ice-cream I nodded and open my mouth for her and smile, ew what flavor does she got?
"Want to taste mine?" I asked the kid, she nodded eagerly. "Ummm.... Tasty" She said savouring all the flavours.
Suddenly someone pick Venessa and took her seat beside me. It was Regan, I can smell her cologne but didn't dare to look at her even if I want to because my body went stiff.
"Faith, can we talk?" She asked, but I'm unable to form any word and kept on looking down at the table.
She took a spoon full out of my favourite sundae, she knows I hate it when somebody does that. But I didn't react because I just can't. I'm stiff remember, I can't move.
"Faith please, talk to me." She pleaded.
"Are you coming with me or not?" She asked angrily, and thats when my head turn to her.
"Please?" She asked holding her hand out for me to take.
"No" I said almost whispering. She looked at me in disbelief. I'm shocked myself, how can I deny an angry beast? But April is sitting their so.
"You are coming with me, get up." She said in a threatening voice. I flinch by the tone of her voice and nodded with glossy eyes. But I really don't want to go with her.
She didn't say anything and just left us there. I release a breath of relief.
"Are you okay?" April asked, she looked concern.
I just nodded and wipe my sweaty forehead with the back of my hand. I can't believe my best friend is treating me like this, threatening me? I never saw this side of her, did I bring that side of her's out? Is she acting this way because she doesn't want to be with me. Am I forcing her to marry me?. What is happening with my sweet and caring best friend?
It's all my fault , if I didn't asked her to marry me she won't be acting like this. She would've been happy, sweet and caring person but now she is always angry and ready to punch someone.
I ruined everything. I ruined our years of friendship, I ruined the trust we had, I ruined her.
"Can we go home?" I asked them, my voice breaking, I'm almost on the verge of crying. Its all my fault.
"Yeah sure." Aron said picking Venessa up, we followed him to the car.
When we reached home, I didn't have the strength to go into Reagan's house. So I told them that I would be with my parents and Frank.
"It's okay, you can stay with them as long as you wish I'll not let Regan come close to you. Okay? Take your time." April smiled and gave me a tight comforting hug.
"If anything or anyone bothers you call me and I'll be there at your aid." She said. I laughed and thanked her.
She went into the house and I made my way to the other house where mine and Regan's parents are staying.
.......
"Are you not going to sleep?" My mom asked when she saw me sitting in front of the tv.
"Yeah I was just heading upstairs." I said walking towards the stairs. But my mom stopped me and looked at me questioningly.
Oh shoot what should I tell her? That I'm afraid to go in Regan's room let alone sleep with her.
"Ummm.. yeah..umm April said I should sleep here their is a vacant room." I reasoned.
"And why's that?" She looked at me suspiciously.
"Umm.. she said it's bad luck to stay together before wedding, you know their is only few days left so she said I should stay away from Reagan." She still looked suspicions but let it go and walked towards her room. I breath a sigh of relief. That was close.
I went to the room and lie on the bed ready to sleep. I keep changing my position but can't sleep. My mind went back to her, what she might be doing, is she also having problem falling asleep, was she thinking about me, does she miss me, does she want me to get back or is she happy that I'm not there to bother her. Maybe she is relieved that I'm not there that's why she didn't attempt to even call me or come get me.
I started crying again missing her so much. Why is it so hard to stay away from her even when she treat me like this.
Why am I so weak, I can't stand for myself, I can't say anything to her, I can't fight back, I miss her, why am I so weak.
..............
I walked down the stairs for breakfast but their was no one. Maybe everyone went to the other house. We all usually have breakfast at Regan's house.
"Hey" I jumped at sudden sound.
"You scared me, Frank." I chuckle he laughed.
"Where's everyone?"
" They went for breakfast."
"Why didn't you go with them?"
"April said I should stay with you, not leave you a alone." He said rolling his eyes.
His eyes widen "Oh shit go in, go inside your room, fast." He said while pushing me upstairs while I heard doorbell ring.
"Frank open up." Reagan yelled through the door while banging and ringing the doorbell simultaneously.
"Go please, otherwise April will kill me, if she knew I let her meet you." Frank pleaded so I get to my room and locked the door.
"Where is she?" Reagan asked desperately as Frank let her in.
"You can't see her." Frank said firmly.
"You don't understand Frank, I NEED to see her, I want to talk to her". She start getting agitated.
"No go back or I'll call Nadia". Frank threaten her.
"You really are threatening me?" She scoffed.
Then I heard something hit the wall and fall to the ground and cried. Oh god is she beating the shit out of my brother?
"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT she is upstairs, but She don't want to see you." He said finally giving in.
I heard the footsteps coming to my room then there was a knock.
"Faithlynn please talk to me, I'm so sorry please." She pleaded. I can't open the door after hearing what happened downstairs.
"Faithlynn open the door." She knocked harder.
"Faithlynn please let me in." Now she's banging on the door. She try opening it but it was already locked.
"I'm sorry Faithlynn please just open the door I won't hurt you, you know me, I'm your best friend. I won't do anything to you." She sounds tired and desperate.
"Faithlynn just give me one chance to fix this please, let me- what are you doing here, I told you to give her time". Reagan was cut off by Nadia. Frank really called her.
"I-I need to see her". Reagan stuttered. Only nadia has the power to control Reagan.
"But you can't, go and apologize to Frank, you hit him hard." Nadia said in a tone that says 'do not argue with me'.
"Faithlynn please come back." That was the last word she said before leaving.
I felt bad for her. She apologized to me and she wants me back, she wants me back. I smiled to myself.
But I need some time to just calm myself down.
I need to get myself together before I go to her.
.....
It's been two days since Regan came to apologize to me. She had hurt Frank pretty bad his nose was bleeding and he had a huge bruise on his back. Nadia apologized to me and Frank on behalf of her sister.
She had been continuously coming here to see me but no one would let her leave the living room. I felt really good knowing she is putting efforts for me.
On the other hand Amelia had been hanging out with me alot and she always try to flirt with me. So whenever she come over I would invite April too, then April invites Aron. I think everyone is mad at Reagan, she might be feeling alone though.
I really miss Reagan, I want to tell her that I forgive her, that I want to go home, but now my parents think that it's a badluck to see each other before wedding, thanks to me. Aggghhhh I'm going crazy without her.
