Chapter 28: Events Before The New Year
Chris's POV
I couldn't believe what I'm hearing. Did Jill just say she didn't remember Claire and I? There must be some mistake or this was a really cruel joke but she wouldn't do that to us right?
"Jill c'mon. It's us. Claire Redfield! I'm one of your best friends! Well, Chris here is your boyfriend." Claire said, pointing her finger at me. Jill still had a confused face.
"I'm sorry but I really don't know any of you."
"Well you must remember Rebecca Chambers right? Your very first friend at this school!"
"No."
My heart torn away at itself. If Rebecca were here this very moment, she'd probably have on the waterworks running right now. She considered Jill a sister to her and everyone knows Rebecca doesn't have a strong relationship with her family so if she saw what Jill was saying now… well it won't be pretty.
"Sheva Alomar?"
"Nope."
"Your evil enemies, Excella Gionne and Allyson Bridges?"
"Enemies? No! Why would I have enemies? I don't even know those people."
Claire sighed as I stood silent. I didn't even know where to begin. I couldn't even think to form any words about what to say. But you see, that was the thing. I couldn't say anything because no matter what, Jill will say she won't remember. The bell rang and Jill fidgeted abit.
"I'm sorry you two. Maybe we can meet up later and become friends without the weirdness?" She said as she walked inside the building. I had a stern look on my face.
"Chris…"
"That's not Jill."
"But Chris you saw-"
"It can't be Jill. I refuse to believe it! Just look at what she's wearing! And her hair color, it's blonde now!"
"Maybe she got tired of brown?"
I knew Claire was just trying to brighten up the mood but I didn't find it the slightest amusing. There was only one person I was positive I might get answers from. I began to head towards the entrance of the school.
"Chris! Wait! Where are you going?" I heard Claire yell.
"To get some answers!" I replied as I stormed off looking for Wesker…
Rebecca's POV
"… and that's how we made up. Were all friends now. Like a happy ending, yes?" I said as I sat down in Study Hall.
"Fascinating." Billy said with no energy in his voice. I playfully punched his shoulder.
"C'mon. At least has some happiness." I said. Billy looked at me, did a big 'Joker' smile, before his face falling neutral again. I couldn't help but giggle.
"You idiot. hey, what are you doing for New Years?"
"I dunno."
"Wanna come with me to Ashley's New Year party? It'll just be me, everyone we hang out with not that many, and you if you want."
"How fantastic."
I rolled my eyes and saw Richard. I felt my stomach tie itself in a knot. Even though I'm happy with Billy, I kinda felt bad for Richard. After that little 'decision' they tried forcing me to make, I haven't talked to Richard since then. I figured now would be a good time to rekindle our friendship. I got up and walked towards him.
"Hey Richard!" I greeted him. He looked up.
"Hey Rebecca! Long time no speak." He then embraced me in a hug.
"Yeah, no speak long time. Listen, I'm really sorry about the whole you and Billy thing but-"
"Don't sweat it, I'm totally over it." Richard said. Wow. That went better then I anticipated.
"So your not mad I chose Billy over you?" I asked.
"Not really. Actually I'm with someone. I got back with my ex."
"Really? That's… great!"
"I know! She should be meeting me here in abit-"
"Richard!"
Our heads turned to a girl walking our way. She had short blonde hair, about the same length as mine and was wearing glasses. She was wearing a white buttoned up shirt and a blue dressy skirt. She looked like she into books and stuff but her style said she defiantly wasn't a nerd.
"Oh, hey Bridges." Richard said. He stood up and placed a kiss on her lips. I was slightly taken aback.
"Who's she?"
"That's Rebecca. Remember the girl I had told you about?"
"Oh yes! Rebecca Chambers was it? Richard talked a lot about you. You seem really nice." She said.
"Yeah. And I didn't seem to catch your name?" I replied. So this was Richards girlfriend? Thank goodness she's not another Allyson!
"I'm Bridgette Rivers. But you can call me Bridges." She smiled, extending her hand out and I shook it.
"Nice to meet you!" I greeted back. I looked back and saw Billy glaring at me. I took it was my cue to go back and give these to some alone time.
"Well, it was nice talking to you Richard. Again, nice meeting you Bridge." I said bye to both of them, and returned back to my seat with Billy, giving me 'the look.'
"What?"
"How was it?"
"Good. He's moved on. Glad I didn't ruin someone's life." I sighed in relief. In my life, I needed everything to be harmonized in peace.
"Would Rebecca Chambers would come to the main office. Thank you!" The loud speaker rang. I rise from my seat with an eyebrow raised.
"What'd you do princess? Finally did something wrong?" Billy asked. I shrugged, got a pass from the teacher, and walked to the main office.
When I arrived, Ingrid Hunnigan was at the front desk, smiling at me.
"Congratulations Rebecca!" She said with a smile on her face.
"For what exactly?" I asked. Hunnigan then extended me an envelope. I gasped as I saw where it was coming from.
"Is-is this from…?"
"If your thinking the high school for Medical and Doctor training then yes-!"
"SHUT UP!"
"Well-"
"LITERARY SHUT UP!"
I snatched the paper from Hunnigans hand and shoved her back. Her chair rolling back as she adjusted her glasses. I gleefully clutched the paper to my chest. I was absolutely DIEING to get accepted to this school! This was the greatest day of my- wait a minute…
"I should tell Billy and the others! I can't wait!" I exclaimed. Before I could exit the office, Hunnigan coughed, catching my attention. I looked at her, her face once happy was now serious. She stood up, walked around the counter, and faced me.
"Could I discuss a serious matter with you Rebecca?" Hunnigan said, tone serious. I raised my eyebrow.
"Okay." I said. She looked around to make sure no one was listening in.
"Do you remember the time I stumbled upon Jill, Claire, Sheva, and you? After school hours? And you guys explained what happened?"
I nodded.
"I think I have a more major inkling as to what you guys initially said. I did some more information."
"I knew we could trust you! What you found out? You're the best Hun-"
"Shush! Do you want everyone to know?" She scolded me. I sheepishly smiled.
"Sorry, it's just-"
"Ms. Hunnigan!"
Our focus darted over to a man walking over to us. It was our principle. He rolled over to us. 'I hope his hand gets caught and breaks.'
"Morning Mr. Spencer." Hunnigan said. Spencer just nodded as his focus was turned to me.
"Ah! So this our student, Rebecca Chambers, who got accepted to the top medical school in the state." He smiled a crooked smile towards me. It send a shiver down my spine. I was about to say something but Spencer spoke before me.
"I actually came to talk you Ingrid."
"Yes? What is it?"
"Your fired."
My eyebrows arched up and my eye balls widen. He's firing Hunnigan? Why?
"I'm sorry?" Hunnigan said. Apparently she was confused as much as I was.
"You-Are-Fired." He repeated slower this time. "You must gather your belongings and leave the premise at once."
Hunnigan looked down at the floor before nodding slowly. She turned and went to gather her things. I couldn't believe this.
"You can't do this!" I said. Spencer glared at me.
"Lower your voice Ms. Chambers."
"Make me you tyrant!"
"I suggest you reclaim yourself before you lose yourself."
"You can't fire Hunnigan! She's the most coolest teacher here!" He rolled closer to me and spoke in a very low whisper.
"You can blame yourself and your friends for me firing her. You all don't know who you are interfering with."
"Yes I do! Were dealing with a BASTARD!" I yelled. By now, the students in the hallways had began to cluster around to see the commotion. Even the other teachers in the office stopped working or filing papers to see. From the corner of my eye I could see Sheva and Josh standing with curious eyes. Spencer's face was fuming red. He gritted his teeth and uttered the words, "In my office now…" I reluctantly followed behind his slow ass.
Chris's POV
"Wesker!" I called to him from far. He noticed me and hastily began scanning his locker for something. However I caught up before he could finish.
"Ah, Chris. I was just about to-"
"Cut the crap and tell me what you did to Jill."
"I afraid I don't have the slightest idea of what your talking about."
"I swear if you don't tell me I'll knock your fucking teeth out!"
Wesker smirked. I knew he knew something and I was gonna get it outta him one way or another.
"Hey Wesker!"
I turned to the person who called him.
"Jill…" I uttered. She made our way towards us.
"Oh hey… Chris was it?" She said. I nodded.
"Funny how she remembers you Wesker but not her REAL friends." I said. Wesker scoffed.
"But aren't we best friends Chris? You should trust me. Jill does-"
I couldn't take it anymore. I winded my fist back and flew it forward. Wesker was apparently faster and instead of moving, shoved Jill in front of him as my fist flew closer. I mange to stop inches away from Jill's face who had her eyes closed. Wesker… you bastard…
"Chris! Why aren't you in class- What are you doing!" Someone behind me squealed. I looked at Wesker, making my eyes clearly filled with hate. I took a glance behind me and saw it was Ashley. I drew my hand back. The sound of boots clicking filled the hall.
"Chris what's wrong with you? Is that… Jill? Hey! What did you do to your hair?" Ashley said as she examined her more thoroughly.
"I pity you Chris. Really I do. If only you knew. To bad your not part of HIS plan." Wesker placed his hand behind his back and revealed a handgun, aiming it at me. Jill looked at me then him then Ashley. Ashley stood in shock as I felt her place her hand on my shoulder, urging me to move back.
"Wesker you lied? You told me-"
"Shut up Jill. These two are a nuisance. They must be terminated."
"What the HELL are you yapping about! Just put the gun down..." Ashley exclaimed. Then I remembered. She didn't know anything about what was going. She didn't know about Spencer or what he was up to.
"Wesker stop!"
He ignored Jill's plead and aimed at me but quickly shifted his aim to Ashley. I caught sight of this and shoved her out the way.
"CHRIS!"
I felt humungous pain jolt through my chest and fell to the ground. I clutched my chest, and felt a warm, wet liquid… blood…
"OH MY GGGOOODDD!" Ashley screamed and knelt beside me. And before I could see what happened after, my vision began to slowly fade away.
Leon's POV
"Hey Leon wake up."
"What?"
I groggily raised from my seat and stretched my limbs out. After Mr. Duvall began explaining math I just fell asleep. The person who woke me up, Ada, giggled.
"Something funny?" I asked.
"Yeah, you." She said tucking a strand of her short black hair behind her ear.
I rolled my eyes, smirking. I knew Ada still had a crush on me. It was oblivious. But I just couldn't let go of a certain person. But everything with Ada was… it was like…
"You can't tell anyone about you know right?" She said.
"What you mean?"
"Remember the weekend?"
"Oh that. I know. But I don't get-"
BOOM!
Ada and I both faced in the direction of which a loud noise came from.
"Sounded like a gun shot!" I said.
"Come on! Let's check it out!" She said as she ran out the class room.
"Someone call a ambulance! Fast! Please!" That sounded like Ashley's voice.
"Oh my god!" I said. Ashley's head shot towards us. Chris was laying on the floor, blood was stained on his clothes. There was a scarf on his chest which I recognized it as Ashley. She must've used it to try to stop the bleeding. Instantly, I ran to his side. Ashley was crying beside him.
"Come on Chris! Stay with me buddy! Stay!" I pleaded. Ada was on her cell phone while a girl with blonde hair stood there, hands covering her mouth. She kinda looked like Jill. Wait… it was Jill! I was about to talk to her until I remembered Chris.
"C'mon Chris stay with me!" She said kneeling beside me.
"Jill?" I spoke. "What happened-"
"Even though I don't know you, please help him!"
I ignored the fact she said she didn't know me but nodded anyway.
"They'll be here shortly. Keep applying pressure on it. I'll go inform Claire. She needs to know." Ada quickly rushed out the scene leaving us alone. Jill, Ashley, and I were alone. By now, students and teachers from the classrooms began to peak through the door to see the commotion. Gasps and screams were heard. I manage to block all of this out as I focused on helping Chris.
Wesker's POV
"Is the deed done?"
"Yes."
"Excellent. A new creed is coming and I will be the master. There key partner Jill is no more. And Chris is no more as well. Little by little they will fade away and nothing will get in our way…"
"If you say so." I nodded as I heard Alex gloat about his plan. But what he doesn't know is every subordinate usually surpasses their master… You wretched fool… Your only creeping more and more into my web. I am the spider of tragedy and I'm already forming my web and you, dear brother, are the brainless fly about to be caught…
