~*Disclaimer- same old stuffs, nobody but Jackie, and Jared is mine*~
Scott was relieved he finally found out where Jackie was from, but he still wasn't satisfied. "Jackie Forlenza. Forlenza." He repeated to himself. His thoughts trailed back to last year, when his father and she were married.
"Dearly beloved," The priest had recited, "We are gathered here today to celebrate the union of Martin Barringer and Elaine Marie Forlenza in Holy Matrimony."
"Elaine Marie FORLENZA!?" Scott finally caught on.
Jackie and Shelby's conversation was interrupted by a loud crash. The two girls were startled. A fuming Scott stood before them. He picked up his dish and flung it in Jackie's direction. Shelby was quick to react and pulled Jackie close to her, just evading the projectile.
"Scott, what the..?" Shelby asked crossly.
" Why don't you ask her?" Scott shouted pointing an accusing finger at Jackie. "Who sent you here? Huh? HUH?" he screamed. Jackie felt herself grow weak. What she had dreaded most had happened. Scott had seen right through her and jumped to the conclusion that she was here to carry out Elaine's "duties".
" What do you mean?" Jackie stammered with faux naivety.
" Don't give me that shit you lying little BITCH! She sent you here didn't she? DIDN'T SHE?!" Scott yelled at the top of his lungs coming closer and closer to Jackie.
"Scott what the HELL is going on?" asked Shelby with false bravado. She wrapped an arm protectively around Jackie and inched backwards away from her emotional boyfriend.
" Why don't you ask her?" Scott stammered, now becoming more distressed than angry. "Ask her who her sister is. Go on, ask her," he said on the verge of a breakdown.
Shelby removed her arm from Jackie's shoulder and turned her around to face her. Shelby looked into Jackie's eyes. She saw fear and behind that, pain. She felt the need to protect her. She reminded her a lot of Jess. "Who?" She reluctantly asked.
Jackie didn't answer. Instead her eyes welled up with tears and she stood there, silently shaking with fear and emotion.
"Elaine!" Scott blurted out. "That.that skank. She just can't leave me alone!" Scott stuttered frantically running his fingers through his hair. "She sent you here to. to ruin my life again." Scott backed away pointing a finger accusingly at Jackie. "Stay away from me. Just leave me and Shelby alone."
Shelby backed away from Jackie, hurt that someone she had thought she could care for could be something totally different. Jackie looked to Shelby for support, but she had already turned her back to set up her sleeping bag and tent. Not knowing what else to do, Jackie turned to Scott. "I'm sorry," she whimpered.
"It's a little late for that," Scott growled through clenched teeth and narrowed eyes. He angrily stormed over to Jackie's tent, disassembled it, and threw it into a nearby river. Stunned, Jackie looked on as Scott got into his tent and shut off the lantern.
Jackie sat down near the dying fire on a log, and put her head in her hands. She was overwhelmed with emotions and didn't know which to let out first. Guilt prevailed and she slid down off the log onto the ground. Burrying her head in her knees, Jackie let all of her emotions out, rocking herself back and forth. How could she have let this happen? She should have stopped Elaine before she did it. If she were never born, Scott's life would still be perfect. Now, she had put Jared's life in jeopardy too. She should have tried harder to end her life before.
As Jackie beat herself up inside, thunder sounded overhead. Within the hour, it began to pour.
