Narrative Point of View
Cornelia stormed across the street where Rachelle had parked her small orange car. Rachelle had her back turned digging into the cluttered trunk.
"What the hell do you think your doing?" Cornelia slurred
Rachelle turned around then said
"What are you talking about? I think you really need to lay off the booze"
Cornelia tilted her head back and laughed. Really laughed. Rachelle looked at her as if she was crazy and started to make her way back toward the street.
"You think you're being funny trying to date Adrian after me!" Cornelia yelled "Its pitiful how you will always live in my shadow"
Hearing this made Rachelle stop in her tracks. She turned around to face Cornelia careful not to step off the curb into on coming traffic.
"No!" Rachelle screamed back "What's pitiful is that a girl like you is bearing a child!"
Cornelia's eyes twitched uncontrollably as she got into Rachelle's face. Her breath heavy with the scent of alcohol.
"How did you know that?" she asked
"I doesn't matter" Rachelle yelled "You are still an unfit mother who doesn't even know who the father is! And you expect guys like Adrian and Sasuke to want you! Well guess what they don't know one does! The only reason anyone is your friend in the first place is because they are scared of you; but guess what I'm not!"
Cornelia's face twisted up into a snarl that was scarily haggish.
"Take that back" she said venom oozing from her words
"No!" Rachelle snapped "I'm not your friend so leave me and everyone else alone! Especially Sasuke and Adrian!"
"You bitch!" Cornelia shrieked
Out the corner of her blue eyes she could see a truck speeding up the road. Without a second thought Cornelia pushed Rachelle out into the street.
The truck tried to stop. Slamming down on the brakes creating a loud screeching sound. But it was too late. The truck slammed into Rachelle's body with a bone breaking impact.
Cornelia laughed again looking down at Rachelle's limp unconscious body and all the people rushing around to help her.
Crimson's Point of View
The walk home was miserable. Not a single word. An even thicker silence than before. I walked quickly trying to hold back the tears in my eyes. I knew he was mad. I screwed up.
Once home I was headed toward the staircase so I could go up to my room and hide my face.
"All this time you have had the power to send me home and you decided to keep me here." Sasuke said making me stop in my tracks and turn to face him
"Yes I chose to keep you here." I replied quietly as I stared up at Sasuke who was about a foot taller than me
"Why!" he asked anger was apparent in his usually calm voice
"B-because I-I care about you, a-and wanted y-you to stay" I stuttered getting nervous at the tone he was taking.
His eyes narrowed into a deathly glare, full of hate and disgust. The fact that he looked at me this way ripped my heart to pieces.
"I could care less about you and what you want." he snarled coldly
I met his glare. My tears started to stream out of my eyes. I took in a deep breath to keep myself from completely bursting into tears. I didn't bother to mask the hurt expression that attacked my face.
"Fine" I screamed at him my voice shaking "Go ahead and fall deeper in the pit of darkness"
Tears streaked my cheeks smearing my make up. I turned and ran up the stairs unable to face the Uchiha any longer. I slammed my door closed once I reached my bedroom.
Narrative Point of View
The days drifted by slowly. All in which Crimson didn't say a single word to Sasuke. Usually she would bounce downstairs in the morning and call him a "smartass" but not lately. She hasn't said anything not a single word.
Sasuke was bugged.
"She is pissing me off" he though "Giving me the cold shoulder like this"
He sighed and flicked the television off.
"I'm going to make her talk to me"
So a drunken Cornelia pushes Rachelle in front of a car during their argument. Sasuke and Crimson get into a heated argument. Which results in Crimson not talking to him. But little to her knowledge the under spoken Uchiha has a trick up his sleeve.
