Chapter 25: The Night Of VERY Foolish Mistakes
DING DONG!
I rang the door bell to see Ashley open the door.
"Hey Jill! Come on in!"
Ashley ushered me inside her house. I quickly rushed inside and noticed how fancy her house looked. She had a big living room. It was almost like as if she had spent all year preparing for a party like this. Everything seemed so in place and perfect. I cringed though at the volume of the loud music.
"Nice place!" I exclaimed.
"Thanks! Everyone is already here!" Ashley shouted. She brought me to the living room where some people were already situated. Others where dancing and drinking. Some faces I could make out were Ada, who was looking out the window, staring at nothing in particular. Allyson was drinking something, hopefully an anti-slut drink. Wesker was sitting down on the sofa, holding hands with Excella, who was sitting next to him. Claire chatting with Elza. Sheva and Josh were casually talking to each other with Dave listening in. Joseph was laughing with Richard and another boy I didn't know but he seemed awfully shy, and Rebecca was flirting with Billy. And finally I saw Chris and Leon talking. They both had serious faces on.
"Hey Chris, Leon." I said as I walked over to them.
"Hey." Was both of their replies.
"Hey Leon could you give Jill and I a moment?" Chris asked Leon.
"Sure. Take it easy." Leon patted Chris's shoulder leaving me confused and stunned. Chris grabbed my hand and took me upstairs, without anyone noticing us. He lead me to a bedroom and closed the door behind us.
"Something I should know about Chris?" I asked him. Chris sighed to himself.
"Jill… I don't know how to say this… but…" Chris began to look around the room trying to find something to focus his eye sight on instead of looking at me directly.
"Please don't tell me it's what I think it is." I blurted out. Chris looked at the floor when I said this. I began to slowly back away from him.
"No… no, no, no! We fixed everything Chris! You and I are meant to be with each other! We can fix and overcome whatever this is! I don't wanna lose you again!"
"Jill I'm sorry."
Tears began to cloud my vision.
"Just… why?"
"Why what?"
"Why are you breaking up with me after everything we've been through Chris?"
He looked at me with sincere eyes.
"I… I can't tell you the reason." He replied. I began to giggle to myself. Not because it was funny, but because of how frustrated and sad I was. It felt like as if I was going insane. I latched myself onto him.
"I don't care! Your not breaking up with me! You can't! I love you so much! I'll even show it to you! I'll give myself to you right here and now! But please, I can't lose you. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me!" I pleaded. Chris was just staring at me, trying to collect the right words to say.
"Jill… it's not you. It's… someone who's making me do this." He said. I backed off and raised an eyebrow.
"Who? If it's Allyson I swear to my grandmothers grave-"
"No. It's not her."
"Ada?"
"No."
"Excella?"
"No."
"Alexia?"
"No Jill! It's… just forget it."
I wiped the tears from my face and made one last guess.
"My parents?" I said. Chris sighed and nodded. So they were the reason behind this. MY PARENTS? Are you fucking shitting me? Chris and I survived through a lot and it's going to end because of my parents? NO WAY! I won't let it end here. I REFUSE to let it end like this.
"Chris don't listen to them." I placed my hand on his shoulder.
"Their your parents Jill. You can't-"
"They don't own me nor do they control my life and who I can date. Or to do this with."
I placed a kiss on his lips. He responded by kissing back. He placed his hands on my cheek and began caressing it. I felt relief wash through me as Chris soft hand caressed my face. He laid back and I laid on top of him. We continued kissing for about a good two minutes before I pulled back and went to kiss his neck and to remove his vest. Chris stopped me.
"Jill. Are you sure you wanna do this? We don't have to if you don't wanna." He said.
"Chris. I think I'm ready. I love you a lot and I think you're the one I would wanna do this with." I said smiling. He smiled one of his breath taking smiles.
"I love you Jill."
"I love you to Chris."
And with that, we kissed again with the intent on going further. For the rest of the night, I would feel nothing but love for Chris because on this night, I was officially giving myself to Christopher Redfield.
Claire's POV
"Claire we need to talk."
I turned to see Leon. I couldn't quite read his facial expression but it looked like he was mad.
"Sure what's up?" I asked as he took me to the kitchen to get privacy. The music was loud but I could still hear him somewhat.
"Claire, what's going on?" He said. The music that was playing was 'DJ Got Us Falling In Love' which was getting louder and I couldn't hear him that much.
"What?"
"What- going- now!" Was what I heard. I placed my hand on my ear to try to get a better hearing.
"What?" I yelled.
Leon sighed and dropped his hands.
"I- know what- going on between- you- and Steve!" Leon screamed over the music. My heart dropped. 'He knows what happened between me and him? Who told him!' I thought. I shook my head and grabbed Leon. After a while we found a quite place. I faced Leon again.
"Leon I'm so sorry!" I said sadly. Leon sighed.
"Claire-"
"No let me finish. I'm sorry I did that to you. You didn't deserve that."
"Claire-"
"No! I didn't mean to make out with Steve that day!" I said. Leon eyebrows shot up and his mouth dropped.
"What?" He asked surprised. I raised an eyebrow.
"Wasn't that what you said before?" I asked.
"No. I said I wanna know what's going on between you and Steve. But are you serious? Did you really?… Oh my god, I can't even form WORDS right now." Leon scoffed. He turned to leave and I desperately grabbed his arm.
"Leon please let me-"
"No Claire! Was this your way to get back at me for what happened with Ada? Even though I didn't intentionally make out with Ada but you… had a choice." Leon pointed an accusing finger at me before lowering it.
"I… I can't believe this. I guess I do deserve this…"
"Leon no you don't. It… it just happened out of no where!"
"Are you kidding? This is a fucking joke now! Claire, I'm your BOYFRIEND. That means you don't things like that to me. Not go behind my back and kiss other guys! And for the record, I knew something was up. I heard you talk to Steve before about 'keeping his mouth shut.'"
I stopped and thought about when I had said that.
"Steve. You better not tell him. Nothing happened. It was just that night, okay? And don't forget, you gotta keep your mouth shut…"
"So he knew…" I muttered.
"Claire I can't even-"
"Claire! I saw you and Leon head in here and I-"
Steve was at the doorway and stopped. I looked at Leon and saw him ball his hands into a fist and walked towards Steve.
"Leon NO! Stop!"
Leon punched Steve in the face and he flew backwards… back into where the party was. I heard several gasps. I began to cry. "This wasn't supposed to happen!" I cried out.
Rebecca's POV
"Hello! Rebecca!"
I saw Alfred come towards me. A smirk placed on his face.
"What the hell do you want?" Billy said.
"I just came to greet my fellow friend."
"We're not friends."
"Hmph! Suit yourself!" Alfred said as he walked away from us. 'O.. k?' I thought.
"Leon NO! Stop!"
I turned to see Leon, Steve, and Claire. Leon had punched Steve in the mouth and fell to the floor. Everyone gasped and began to back away and watched as they fought. Billy ran to pull Leon off of Steve and I went to Claire. She was crying.
"Claire! What the hell happened?" I asked as I went to place a hand on her shoulder. She backed away.
"Get off me Billy! I'ma beat the shit outta Steve!" Leon shouted. I looked back at Claire.
"What-"
"I gotta go."
"Claire wait-"
"I'm going to get Chris."
"Just stop for a second-"
"Rebecca no! Leave me the fuck alone! I can't right now. I just can't!"
I cringed as Claire yelled at me. Leon had calmed down and went to the bathroom to fix himself up. Ashley came and helped Steve up while complaining about her party being ruined.
"I'm just trying to help you!" I yelled back at Claire. I wasn't one to yell, but I wasn't going to stand there and take Claire yelling at me. We never fought so why now?
"You THINK you can Rebecca! Well you know what? You can't! I messed up! I can't fix my mistake!"
"It depends on what it is!"
"Just shut up! Your one to talk! Your always smiling and happy. Well, let me tell you something Rebecca. Life isn't all smiles and laughing or happy times. But you wouldn't understand because your so SELF ABSORB around the world you can't know how other people feel when their hurt over something they did! You act like you have the perfect life! I hope something really bad happens to you! Then you'll see how I feel!" Claire said through sobs. She wiped her face and walked away.
I dropped my head down and looked at the floor. Was that really how she thought about me? Was that how she felt about me? I know she was mad about whatever happened but does she really had to say all that things. My eyes began to tear up. Billy was busy helping Leon so I decided I didn't wanna stay here. Not after what just happened. I walked to the door and saw Jill coming down the stairs. She had a shock expression on her face.
"Jill. Where have you been?" I asked trying to hold back my tears.
"Sorry Rebecca… I gotta go." She said and sped walked past me.
"What did you do?"
"I… made a BIG mistake."
"Can I help in any way? If you wanna talk about it I-"
"No you can't… I… Ugh, I'm so… Whatever, I don't wanna talk about this now anyway… bye." Jill stammered and left. I stood alone once again. I balled my hands into fist and barged out the front door. I looked at my watch. '12:30.' I thought. I should've waited for Billy because the streets of Raccoon City at night can get really dangerous. I didn't care though. I wanted to get away from everything.
"Just shut up! Your one to talk! Your always smiling and happy. Well, let me tell you something Rebecca. Life isn't all smiles and laughing or happy times. But you wouldn't understand because your so SELF ABSORB around the world you can't know how other people feel when their hurt over something they did! You act like you have the perfect life! I hope something bad happens to you! Then you'll see how I feel!"
Claire's words stung me deep…
"No you can't… I… Ugh, I'm so… Whatever, I don't wanna talk about this now anyway… bye."
Jill's words also hurt me. It made me feel as if I wasn't a good enough friend to either of them. At least I still had Sheva as a friend.
"Maybe it's my fault?" I whispered to myself. I had a long way home but then I remembered a shortcut nearby. However it was a very lonely area. I thought about what would happen and brushed it aside.
"I doubt anyone of them would care." I said to myself. I took a left, and walked down the alley way that lead to the shortcut to my house.
Sheva's POV
"Congratulation Ms. Alomar! You've been accepted to-"
"Oh my god! I won!"
"Yes you did." The woman said over the phone to me.
"Josh! I won the contest I entered! I won! ME!" I shouted out joyfully. Josh wrapped his arms around me and kissed me on the cheek.
"That's wonderful!" He said. I continued listening to what the woman had to say. She explained everything to me including parents permission. I was so overly joy that I won. I couldn't believe that I won. I couldn't wait to tell Jill, Claire, and Rebecca! This would be an awesome time for us to get more bonding time together.
Cliff Hanger... not really. Depends on how you think about it. Anyway, I gonna keep it short and just stop talking. Oh and in the next chapter, our the characters finally get a break
