Chapter 6/Anger



"What," Violet asked amazed. Kevin came up behind, putting his arms around her waist, in comfort. "She's had a heart attack, something about stress I think," Zoey said blankly. Rachel let out a worried sob, and gasped for breath. "Yes, and the doctors said it didn't look good, like she might not even make it, and I hope not because I sure do want to keep my job. Hard to find a decent job in New York," Jessy added in loudly, her usual chatty self. Rachel rose slowly, a look of complete anger and hatred on her face. Oh no, Zoey mouthed to Violet. Violet nodded, a look of fear on her face. Cammie stood pale and stiff, and the girl Violet didn't know stood in the corner, showing no emotion. "I can't believe you just said that," Rachel yelled at Jessy. "What? Why would I care about Lil? I mean I haven't known her for very long, and she certainly is a hard slut isn't she,' Jessy laughed throwing her long blonde hair over her shoulder. "YOU WHORE!!!" Rachel charged at Jessy, her face red with anger. "Oh my god," Violet murmured glaring at Jessy. Rachel threw the first punch, letting out all her anger, sadness, and emotions on the blonde idiot. I hate her. Nobody talks about Lil like that, specially this idiot, Rachel thought to herself. Jessy stood, shocked, a complete look of astonishment coming over her face. She turned, flung her hair over her shoulder again, and left, rubbing her cheek, and caressing her bleeding nose. "Ha you showed her Rach," the new girl spoke for the first time. "This is my cousin Tatiana," she said motioning to the pretty mixed girl. "She may be filling in Jessy's position. Or should I say yours. Jessy never did fill the spot. " Violet smiled, a small sad smile. "What can we do? You know for um…" "Lil? Nothing at the moment. She's in ICU and they're doing all they can." "But is there a chance that she could…" Violet asked, trying to remain as subtle as possible. "Yes," Rachel replied, her face showing no emotion. Cammie grabbed at Rachel's purse, her thick Russian accent interrupting any unpleasant thoughts in the room. "I'll drive you back to your place," she said twirling a strand of her blonde hair around her finger nervously. "No, no Cammie we have to go see Lil! She could be…dead." "She's fine for now, we can't do anything. You need sleep chick." So they climbed in the car, Kevin following, and drove to Rachel's place. "You sure your ok," Zoey asked, a worried frown traceable on her face. "Yes, I'll be fine," Rachel, replied, throwing her arms around Cammie. "Thanks Cam, sorry Tati I'll call you later. Cya Jersey," she winked, throwing her hair over her shoulder, in a fake Jessy imitation. Despite Rachel's sudden cheerfulness Violet knew it was all a cover up. Rachel was hurting deep down. Bad.

The girls and Kevin piled into a booth at the nearest café. "Do you really think we should leave Rachel alone," Violet asked throwing Kevin a worried glance. "Absolutely," Cammie said in her accent. "Rachel's tough…she needs some time to figure out her problems, like mine with Al," she said giggling. "How do you um handle your problems with Al," Violet asked confused. Zoey let out a giggle and rolled her eyes.

Tatiana laughed, and Kevin smiled. Cammie took a deep breath, laughing. "Well…" "Never mind," Violet said automatically, rolling her eyes. "Back to Rachel, she's known Lil the longest-will she be ok?" "Yes, Rach gets through it all one way or another…kind of like she did with Sean," Zoey replied. "Sean? Who's that," Violet asked a confused look on her face. Zoey nodded in Cammie's direction, a sad, almost unreadable look on her face. "Two years ago Rachel was engaged to this guy Sean. They were so in love. So happy. Then one day Rachel came to work all happy, and said she couldn't drink. When we asked why, she told as she was pregnant." Violet gasped. "And?" "Well when Sean found out he beat her. He had a bad temper." "Oh," Violet gasped. "The baby?" "Well Sean beat Rachel so badly…the baby was killed," Zoey finished. Violet sighed, a tired, depressing sigh. Small tears rolled down her cheeks. No wonder Rachel was so angry. No wonder she didn't open up to people. She was afraid she'd lose them…like Lil. "Wha-wha- what happened to Sean," Violet stuttered. "Well, he was killed that same year during a shoot and run drug deal." "Oh wow, Rach took it really hard didn't she?" "Yes very. That's why she attends her anger management classes," Cammie added knowingly. "So don't mention you know ok," Zoey replied. Tatiana cast a faraway look and stood up. "She's always had a major crush on Sean…when he was alive at least," Zoey added, whispering. Violet sighed, lay her head on Kevin's chest and closed her eyes, letting the day's anguish and emotion disapear.
