Chapter 7: Revenge

To forgive is hard, but to get even is easy

Serena woke up to see Darien beside her asleep in the chair. She lifted her head lightly so that she wouldn't wake him. She made her way over to the window next to Lita's bed. She was still sound asleep breathing on her own now. Serena looked at her friend and smiled. Serena saw outside the window the sun rising and could feel its warm rays on her. She closed her eyes to take it in as the tiny breeze made its way into the room. She dreamed that she was in another world. Another world where she had no worries and no problems. She continued to keep her eyes closed as strong arms wrapped around her tiny frame.

"Morning" Darien whispered into her ear. Serena smiled and turned to face him and wrapped her arms around him.

"Morning" Serena said back as Darien leaned in to give her a kiss, but they were interrupted as a large bang came from the reception area of the hospital. They heard a loud voice and recognized it immediately.

"That's Rei" Serena said as both she and Darien ran outside to stop Rei from anything that might send her to juvy.

"Rei" Serena said as Rei was searching every door to find Lita, as Amy was right behind her trying to calm the raven haired girl down.

"Serena" Rei said relieved as she gave her best friend a hug. Rei took Serena's face into her hands and stared her in the eye.

"Where's Lita?" She asked.

"She's in the room down the hall" Serena pointed to where Lita's location was and Rei took off down the hall, pulling the strap of her purse up as she walked. She reached Lita's room and stopped when she opened the door. Rei closed her eyes to take it all in. She heard Serena, Darien, and Amy come up behind her as they stopped to look at Rei who was indeed still trying to digest her friend's condition.

"What happened" Rei said more upset and angry than sad.

"Thomas shot her after they had an argument…" Serena said but was cut off when Rei stormed down the hall.

"Come on Amy" Rei said as Amy followed her friend.

"I guess we'll see you guys later" Amy said as she followed her friend.

"Wait! Where are you going?" Serena shouted to Amy and Rei down the hall. Amy turned around and gestured that she didn't know. Darien and Serena just looked as the fiery raven made her way out the sliding doors of the hospital.

"Rei, where are we going?" Amy asked when they made their way to her car.

"Just get in the car"

"But where are we going" Rei's eyes got larger and looked like there was fire in them that was burning with rage.

"Just get in the fucking car Amy" She said as she got into the driver seat and slammed the door hard that the glass in the window almost shattered onto the ground in the parking lot. Rei drove off down the road into a nice suburbia neighborhood. She looked for the white house with red brick. She knew that house all to well. She stopped as Amy wondered what her friend was going to do. Amy's hands started to get clammy and she started to sweat more as Rei pulled out something from the glove compartment. Amy wanted to say something, but the words wouldn't come out of her mouth.

"Stay here" Rei said as she left her friend in the car scared out of her mind.

Rei rang the door bell and a brown haired man answered the door. It was Thomas.

"Rei…" A loud boom went off in the air as Thomas fell to the floor of his house. Rei stood there with the gun in her hands as Thomas lay on the white carpet, blood flowing off of his forehead onto the floor.

Images began to come back to Rei in her mind. She saw Gary, her father, the truck, Lena, her mother being hit, and then it came to her like a horrible nightmare in her sleep. She saw Lita get shot. She saw Thomas over her with the gun, she saw it. She looked down at him and pointed the gun at him again. She fired two more shots into his chest.

"Rei… Rei what are you doing?" Amy said to Rei between sobs in the car. She had seen her friend shoot Thomas, and Amy knew she was linked to his murder know. Rei walked back to the car and started to drive off down the road.

Amy cried the whole way now knowing that her dreams and aspirations were gone if they were to find out who killed Thomas. Even with Amy's sobs Rei blocked her out and continued to drive until she reached a lake.

She got out of the car as Amy did the same still red in the face from her crying. Rei paced back and forth as Amy tried to figure out what her friend was doing.

"Rei, Rei" Amy continued to say before Rei acknowledged that she was there.

"Why Rei" Amy said still crying with frustration.

"Why Amy, why. You want to know why. For every man who thinks he can hit or abuse a woman and think he can get away with it. Do you know how many times I've been raped and hit? I was a fucking hooker, where I saw my friends get shot and put into a dumpster okay damn it." Rei said as she got closer up to Amy so that they were only an inch away.

"You don't know what it's like Amy. You don't have to wonder when the next time you're going to get rapped, or when the next time your friend is going to get shot…"

"But Rei the Bible says that things happen for a reason…"

"Fuck that. Where was God when I was getting rapped? Where was God when my mom was getting beat? Where was God when I was on the streets? Where was God when I was cutting my self? Uh Amy, where was he damn it? Where was he when you were sticking your finger down your throat?"

"Rei that was in the past"

"Oh don't fucking lie Amy. I heard you the bathroom" Rei said with mean eyes as Amy only started to cry more. Amy sat herself on the ground as her hands covered up her eyes. Rei looked down at her friend that she had hurt and came down to comfort her.

"Hey, hey look at me" Rei said as Amy looked up to see her. "Everything is going to be fine"….

At the hospital

Lita was still asleep in the afternoon as Darien and Serena stayed by her side. Serena was reading her magazine as Darien was sitting playing games on his cell phone.

'Men' Serena thought to herself as she continued to read the article on Beyonce' and Jay-Z until the television caught her eye.

"Dare, turn it up" Darien looked at the television and put the volume up.

"A young man by the name of Thomas Jason Hill was killed today in his suburbia home around 10:00 this morning. Police have not yet identified the suspects yet, but more information will be given at 6:00, Tina back to you" The reporter said on the screen.

"Oh my God" Serena said out loud as she automatically pulled out her cell phone to dial Rei's number. The phone rang and rang but no one answered. Serena's worst fears were beginning to be confirmed as Rei's phone went to voice mail.

"She's not answering" Darien said as Serena's heart started to beat.

"No" She said quietly.

"Hello there" The short blonde haired doctor said as she came in.

"Well I just got a hold of Lita's parent's and they are on their way, you can leave if you want" She said.

"Thank you, we really have to go"

"Where" Darien said confused.

Yeah I couldn't have Thomas get away with it now could I. Well there is more to come. Keep reading and reviewing. Thanks.
