READ THESE FOLLOWING NOTES, DAMNIT!
I use the 'N' word. Yep, I know-I'm an evil whore.
LOOK: I despise racism with every fiber in my body, and believe me, it's not like I just LET the person say it and get away with it! DON'T GET ON MY BACK ABOUT IT! I UNDERSTAND IF YOU ARE OFFENDED!
JUST LET ME WRITE MY STORY IN PEACE!
Also, I rated this M.
Why? Well, I wanted the use a broader vocabulary, and might even consider writing a lemon.
By the way, in case of any confusion: I'm trying a new style of writing, inspired by a personal friend of mine. I call it the Jenny/Jinx Factor. So just so you know: They are the same person. Jinx is a nickname of a horrible side of Jenny, the bitchy side everyone knows. Mary Ann and Kitten call her Jinx, because they say it suits her.
Chapter Thirteen: To Those Who Value Life...
On a deserted, rural road, Mary Ann's silver Jaguar swerved slightly as she threw her head back and laughed. Luckily, it was deep into the cloudy night, and no cars were around. In the passenger seat, Kitten shrieked slightly, but continued to laugh. In the back, Jinx laid stretched out, mouth open as though about to speak.
Mary Ann beat her to it, "Don't stop there, what happened next?"
Kitten spoke before Jinx could answer. "I still cannot believe you actually did that! That bitch actually cried? How in the world did you get Vic to sleep with you anyway?" her shrill voice cut through the air like a pistol, and Jinx's first instinct was to flinch as she heard it.
Instead, Jinx twirled her pink hair. Her brown roots were beginning to peek out, she would need a new hair dye job soon… She gave a teasing smile, "Of course I did it! How I did it however… that's the real genius of it all."
Mary Ann's blue eyes were fixed on her pink-cat-like ones. "Speak!" She commanded, though her voice betrayed her. Jinx just knew she was dying to know what had really happened.
Without another word, Jinx fished out a pack of gum from her purse. "I gave him a piece of this,"
Kitten and Mary Ann blinked, confused. "Gum…?" Kitten said slowly.
Jinx nodded, "Gum! Spearmint actually… want a piece?" She smiled slyly.
Mary Ann rolled her eyes, "Don't be stupid; what did you do to it?"
The pink haired girl grinned. "Oh… this and that…"
Kitten turned in her seat, bouncy with angst. "Tell us! Tell us now, bitch!"
Jinx laughed, and she gave in. "Well, I called up my brother Gary, right?"
Kitten made a face, and Mary Ann nodded. Neither particularly liked her little bratty brother with the second grade vocabulary. Jinx continued, "Well, he's into drugs and all that shit, so I asked him if he could put a hallucinogen in some type of food. To quote him, 'You kidding me Jinx? A monkey-brained-idiot could do that!'"
Kitten and Mary Ann's face slowly lit up with understanding. "Ohh! The gum was filled with a drug?" Kitten asked; her brown eyes wide.
Jinx nodded, "A real light kind, you just loose all focus for a while."
Her bright contact bubble gum pink eyes were filled with triumph and self confidence. Her brown ones, hidden beneath the pink lens, however, were filled with guilt.
Jenny you bitch. Jenny you dirty horrible bitch. You made her cry. You made her scream. You probably ruined her life.
You probably ruined his life too.
You liked Victor. Why did you hurt him so? Why are you such a slut, Jenny? What happened to you?
Jinx's sly grin didn't falter, and she examined her freshly manicured pink fingernails. "Thanks again for the Manicure and Pedicure, Kitty Kat," she thanked sweetly. The blonde simply smiled and glanced downwards at her blue nails.
"They are rather nice, aren't they?" she murmured, looking at them fondly. For a slight moment, Jinx thought she could see a small innocent light in her brown eyes.
For some reason, it made Jinx go back to 'Jenny' for a moment. It made her remember only a couple hours ago… oh god, those minutes. Would they scar her forever?
Flashback…
Jinx and Victor were deep into intimacy. Kissing, pressing, rubbing, moaning… but not sex. 'Jenny' couldn't do sex… 'Jinx' probably couldn't either. Two entirely different personalities forged into one body.
But she couldn't do sex. She just couldn't. It wasn't the right time; he wasn't in his right mind…
'Sex was supposed to be magical… right?' She thought.
Her dress had been thrown somewhere, and his fingers were poking at the edge of her bra. The passion had gone up a lot. Jenny was silently praying to herself, 'Maybe Bee won't walk in… maybe she'll just take a walk! Or get into a car crash! Oh god, please don't let her come in…'
Jinx on the other hand. 'Holy shit look at his abs… what a body… so hot… can someone BE this hot? Should it be illegal? Don't drool… Wait for Bee to walk in, hit him, and leave. There we go… Ahh, nice abs…'
He kissed her all over. Occasionally murmuring 'Jinx…' and quite a few times, 'Bee, my Bee,' It made Jenny's heart ache. It made Jinx pissed.
And it was a bit awkward. Not to him, he was too drugged to notice, but she felt awkward. A bit scared too. She's heard stories of girlfriends walking in on cheating boyfriends, and ending up killing them both.
Fear shot through her like a bullet.
'Do this to prove you're capable of whatever Kitten and Mary Ann do. You're just as tough as them, just as bitchy, just as cool…' The thought forced her to continue her 'job'.
Minutes later it had happened. The door slammed open, Jinx's eyes widened. A flash of light instantly appeared, and she almost believed it was a gun shot.
But no- a camera.
Victor seemed to come to his senses, coming out of his coma-like state. Jinx fulfilled her job and turned to the shocked- beyond- belief girlfriend, Bee.
Smirking Jinx stood, and collected her dress and shoes. She turned to Victor, who looked as confused as a toddler trying to solve algebra. "We'll have to continue this later, babe…" she spoke in her sexiest voice. She turned back and Bee was gone.
Walking out of his dorm, she turned to see the once strong 'Don't-mess-with-me' girl leaning against her door, broken sobs racking her chest. Jinx didn't spare the girl a second glance, but inside, Jenny's heart ached.
'Congratulations,' Jenny's voice said inside her head. Jinx opened the door to see her roommates sprawled across the room. Kitten was in a pink miniskirt, grinding slowly with the edge of her bed in only a white bra, sipping a glass of wine slowly. Mary Ann was reading a People magazine, and shaving at the same time.
Jenny spoke again inside her mind. 'You've just become one of them.'
The memory was gone the next second, but Jinx felt a strong urge to cry.
I promise I'll apologize to Bee and Victor… I'll do everything to make it up to them… she silently vowed.
Mary Ann's voice broke through the silence suddenly. "Well, since you sort of did get Victor all to yourself… Kitten and I have never been ones to go back on a promise, so-,"
Jinx tried to smile. "You're going to tell me what did you do with Faith?"
She didn't answer, and less than a second later, Kitten screamed and pointed at the dashboard. Mary Ann screamed after, "HOLY FU-!" and slammed on the brakes as hard as she could, causing the car to skid across the road.
Kitten, in the passenger seat and not wearing a seat belt, nearly flew out of the car if Mary Ann hadn't pulled the quick 'Soccer Mom Arm Save' and slammed her arm across her chest to prevent her from crashing into the dashboard. Jinx grabbed Kitten's seat as hard as she could, a silent scream choked in her throat.
The horrible screech of the car skidding stopped, as it slowed. Jinx slowly sat up. "What in hell, Kitten…?"
The blonde pointed; her brown eyes wide with disbelief. Jinx followed her eyes, and Mary Ann let out a gasp. "… The hell?"
There stood Faith.
The girl who's eyes used to smile along with her perfect mouth. She stood in the middle of the road, her green eyes full of fright and paranoia. She was soaked, from sweat, blood, and what looked like water. Her feet were bruised and bleeding-she had been running a lot. Her hair hung in her face, dirty and damp. The red hair that Jinx used to secretly envy.
She wasn't smiling, but sweat and tears fell down her cheeks. Her skin was an unhealthy pale, and if you had seen her for the first time, you would have never guessed she had once had beautiful tan skin. She has clutching a soaked blanket around her, but Jinx, Kitten, and Mary Ann could tell she had nothing but underwear on underneath. She shivered and whimpered, suddenly, and that was all it took to have Jenny take over.
"Oh my god!" she exclaimed, and rushed out of the car. "What happened? Are you okay? Are you cold? Shit, you just appeared out of no where!" it all spilled out of Jenny's mouth like a waterfall of concern. Faith collapsed into her open arms, relief shining on her face.
"You're sick…" Jenny realized, and turned to Kitten and Mary Ann. "Come on, we need to bring her to a hospital!"
Kitten cast her eyes downward, and nodded. Mary Ann's expression was unreadable, but serious. After a pause, the brunette glared at her. "Well, come on Jinx! Get her in the car!"
Jenny didn't need to be told twice. With the strength she never knew she had, Jinx/Jenny picked Faith up. Her mouth dropped open instantly, at how light the girl was.
When was the last time she ate?
In the back seat once again, Jenny rested Faith's head on her lap. Almost child-like, the girl curled closer to her. Mary Ann stepped on the gas pedal, and Kitten was instantly in a whispering conversation with her.
Jenny didn't listen, and pushed her pink hair out of her eyes. She looked down at Faith. Her eyes were shut tightly, and tears spilled from them in clear, crystal rivers which were only slightly paler than her own face.
She didn't know why, but Jenny felt tears form in her pink eyes.
Jesus, what happened to her?
She thought she could hear 'Jinx' laughing inside her mind. Why should we even care? She's just a bitch.
But Jenny couldn't listen to that for another moment. Listen to yourself! Who's the real bitch? Honestly! I don't even know why I ever wanted to be like you!
…But… I am you. She realized, confusion filling her eyes. I'm still Jenny. I always was Jenny. Jinx was… Jinx was nothing.
This is who I've become by choice… Jenny looked back down at Faith, whose eyes were closing slowly. She murmured something almost inaudibly,
"Robin…"
She resisted a smile, but suddenly felt a longing for her old brown hair. Her old brown eyes. Pink was becoming… tiring. Jenny looked out the window, and a faint reflection of herself stared back at her. When did I trade myself to be a bitch? She wondered. She gazed past her reflection and preoccupied herself with the scenery the drove through.
Mostly woods…
But wait, we should be out of the woods by now! She thought, confused.
…They were going in the wrong way!
God damnit, those morons! Jenny thought irritably. "Hey you guys? Hate to break your concentration, but the hospitals," she jabbed her thumb behind her, "That way,"
Faith held on to her tighter. Jenny could tell she was annoyed.
Kitten pressed her lip-gloss smeared lips together, and looked at Mary Ann. Only then, did Jenny realize-
FLASHBACK
Mary Ann was glaring at Kitten, her mouth formed in a perfect scowl. "I'm not helping you with Robin anymore, get him yourself. Honestly, I probably didn't need the guys to do that to Robin's whore. If you had just charmed him on your own-," Mary Ann closed her mouth, suddenly aware of Jinx staring at her.
"What did you guys do?" Jennifer asked slowly, her face formed into a look of confusion. Kitten was looking at her feet, and Mary Ann was pursuing her lips.
"…Um… You'll know soon," She finally spoke and Jinx opened her mouth to angrily protest, but the brunette held her hand up, "I'll tell you what. Get Victor all to yourself, and Kitten and I will spill everything… okay?"
FLASHBACK ENDED
"I probably didn't the guys to do that to
Robin's whore,"
Jenny face paled, a gasp choked her throat.
"Didn't need the guys to…"
"Let me out, now," Jenny ordered, fear shining through the pink contact lenses. Neither Kitten nor Mary Ann moved. But the car slowed to a stop, to a house Jenny had never seen before. It looked like an ordinary frap boy party house, with the windows all broken, and toilet paper streamed over the trees and roof. Mary Ann got out, and Kitten followed.
Jenny opened her door, and grabbed Faith as tight as she could. How far will it take me to run with her? And get to the hospital?
What if I just scream, as loud as I can?
She held Faith close to her as Kitten and Mary Ann turned to her. Mary Ann smiled a smile an adult might give to a child who just said something stupid or ignorant. "Jinx… remember, you did want to know what we did to her,"
"You both are sick!" Jenny spat out, disgust filling her face.
Kitten burst out a loud, "HA!" Jenny glared at her, but the blonde wasn't intimidated. "We're sick? Hey, we aren't the ones who drugged a guy and had sex with him, just so his nigger girlfriend would walk in!"
If Jenny could, she would have slapped her. But Faith kept her from doing that, so she settled for shouting.
"Shut up." Jenny growled.
"Shut up, SHUT UP, SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Her voice rose and rose, until she was sure everyone in the house could hear her. "YOU PEOPLE ARE WORSE THAN MURDERERS! YOU DON'T EVEN CARE? HOW CAN YOU NOT CARE?"
"We could ask you the same thing," Mary Ann said icily. "Victor's life is pretty much shot to hell right now. And he can't remember why, can he?"
Jenny glared at her, any respect for Mary Ann she once had disappeared. "I do care. I'm going to tell his girlfriend everything," She twisted her mouth into a horrible grimace, "Oh and Kitten? Her name isn't nigger, or negro, or black slut-It's Bee."
She smiled horribly, and continued, "And the only slut I see around here is you, you pathetic racist bitch."
The lights were on inside the house right now, and Faith shifted slightly, and opened her green eyes. "..Robin..." she murmured, looking around. Jenny tried to look at least a little comforting for a moment, "Don't worry you'll be okay,"
Faith's eyes glanced around her surroundings. They widened slightly, and she stood up suddenly, and her glance fell upon the house.
And she screamed.
She screamed bloody murder, and looked like she was going to die. She turned to Jenny, her face pleading. "Please don't take me here! I'll do anything! I swear! I'll give you all the money you want! Everything I have! Anything you want, I swear it!"
Jenny looked back up at Mary Ann in horror, who stared coldly at Faith's cowering body. She glanced back up at Jinx. "Take her to them."
Jenny's mouth dropped open.
How can someone be so… heartless?
"Never! She's as frightened as hell,"
With a sigh, Mary Ann pulled something out of her stylish brown snow boots, revealing a silver semiautomatic pistol. She held it to Jenny. "Listen whore, stop rebelling. It's just going to get you killed, believe me,"
Jenny's eyes couldn't have been any wider. On the ground, Faith was tugging at her, whimpering something in a language Jenny had never heard before.
A shot rang out, and Jenny jumped back, suddenly showered with dirt. Only inches from her foot was the place Mary Ann had shot, and it made a good sized ditch.
"You think I'm bluffing, Jinx? I don't want to kill you, now get that stupid slut in the house, now!"
Jenny nodded, and felt her heart swell in hatred. She picked up Faith, who stared at her. Trust gleamed in her green eyes. Those eyes that would forever haunt her until the moment she died.
She grabbed her tightly, and almost dragged her to the door of the house. Faith screamed and shrieked, trying to kick away. Jenny knocked on the door, and a tall, muscular man answered the door, black hair hung in his face. "Ahh, I see you brought our little princess back," he sneered, and looked at Jenny, lust in his eyes.
She scowled and pushed Faith to him, her expression filled with disgust. Tears ran down the girls face at her last attempt to try and run away, but the man grabbed her easily, and hoisted her over his shoulder like a child.
Jenny cast her eyes downward, and walked back to car. Kitten was already in the car, and Mary Ann leaned against the car door lazily. "Well, well, well… who's cruel now?"
Jenny glared at her, "Oh fuck you, whore"
Mary Ann's lips curled into a smirk. "You're really not smart are you?"
Jenny stared at her, her eyes narrowed. "What the hell-,"
BANG!
Jenny fell over; her eyes no longer narrowed, but in a wide stare. Blood slowly seeped from her chest, and Mary Ann glared at her. "Go to hell, bitch." She spat, and got into the car.
Kitten stared at her, "Thank god! I thought you'd never kill her!"
Mary Ann shrugged, and began to drive. "Whatever, I knew she'd never be like one of us the moment she grabbed that stupid slut. Wonder how she escaped anyways,"
Kitten looked back at the house that was slowly disappearing as they drove on. Jenny's corpse lay still, soaked in blood. "The guys will take care of her body, right?"
Mary Ann nodded, tucking hair behind her ears. She looked at Kitten and smiled, "Well, I think we should go home with some chick flicks and tomorrow, I can complain to Daddy about how 'We Nearly Got into a Car Accident', to get a new car,"
Kitten smiled, "Ooh, get a red car this time…Ferrari?"
Mary Ann nodded in approval, smiling cutely.
The blonde turned to stare elsewhere, and ran her fingers through her hair. Soft and a light scent of coco butter filled her nose, and she glanced at her nails. "Damnit! I chipped the polish!"
"We can get another manicure tomorrow," Her friend answered, "After we find a replacement roommate,"
Kitten grinned, "Awesome!" She turned the radio on loudly, her grin growing wider as the song 'Three Small Words' came on.
So sweet life can be.
For those who make it theirs…
"Bee? Come on, sweetie, you've been in there for hours!" Terra called, attempting once again to open the locked bathroom door. Her friend didn't answer, and the door didn't budge.
Raven and Terra exchanged worried looks once again, as the sound of gagging and puking came through the bathroom door once again. Choked sobs were heard as she finished vomiting.
This had gone on for more than a half an hour now since Terra had walked in to see Bee pacing the room, sobbing and confused.
"Bee?" Raven called, leaning her ear against the door, "Listen if you don't open this door and talk to us, I will break down this door if I have to,"
"Just leave me alone!" Bee shrieked, and a loud 'BANG!' followed as something was thrown at the door. Raven jumped back, surprised. Terra's blue eyes peaked under the door.
"We are not leaving you, now come out!" she pestered, and Raven nodded, thought knowing well enough that Bee couldn't see her.
"…."
More sounds of puking followed.
But she unlocked the door.
Terra burst in, just as Bee fell into her arms. Raven carefully wet a damp rag, a pressed it gently against her friend's forehead. "Shh, it's okay Bee, we're here for you," she murmured, and a fresh set of tears leaked through the hurt girl's brown eyes.
Terra exchanged a sad look with Raven, and they quietly led Bee back to her bed. She fell into her sheets weakly, and hugged her pillow close to her. "Oh god," she mumbled, wiping her nose on her arm. "Oh god, oh god…"
Raven left to grab some Kleenex, and Terra started dialing a number into her cell phone. Bee wiped her eyes and looked at her curiously, "Who… (Sniff) you calling?" her throat was sore, and she shivered in her sheets. She accepted the sweater Raven held out gratefully, and allowed her friends to crawl onto her bed with her.
Terra smiled, and gave the phone to her friend as it began to ring.
Bee listened intently, and her eyes lit up as a feminine, but loud voice spoke through, "Hello, darling? Who is this?"
"…Clarence?" Her eyes shone with gratitude, and Terra smiled. Raven raised her eye brows, and nudged Terra with an approving look.
There was a pause. "Bethany?" he asked, unsure.
She sniffed, but smiled. "Yeah, it's… it's me," her voice shook and she swallowed to keep her unhappiness away.
"Bee!" his dramatic voice exploded, "My dear, what is wrong? Are you okay? What happened?"
It was all it took to bring her to tears again. In choked sobs, she explained as well as she could what had happened. Raven couldn't understand a word of what she wailed, and even Terra looked confused most of the time, but Clare understood her perfectly.
After an hour of talking to him, Bee hung up, feeling better. She sighed, biting her lip. Terra and Raven looked at her questioningly. She tried to smile, "I take it you didn't understand?"
Raven shook her head, eyes wide, and Terra giggled slightly.
Bee nodded, and breathed deeply. "I caught Victor with… Jinx,"
Terra gasped, "Having sex?" Bee nodded, flinching.
Raven narrowed her eyes in shock, and Terra scowled. "That bastard!" they exclaimed in union. A look of disgust shone bright on their faces. "How dare he? He is… the lowest! That sick, sick pervert! He should burn in hell!" the violet haired girl growled, clenching her fists tightly.
Bee nodded, hugging her knees to her tightly.
Terra was silent, but anger was seen in her baby blue eyes, alight with rage. "We're not letting him get away with this, Bee,"
Her friend laughed softly, and she looked at them. "Oh I know, he's definitely going to pay," her voice was bitter.
Terra grinned, "First let's start with that Slutty pink-haired minx," Suddenly a conversation of revenge and payback erupted between her and Bee.
Raven half-listened, and stared at the two talking.
It was late, and soon they would fall asleep… Raven dreaded going back to her dorm. Her empty dorm room.
Biting her lip, Raven spoke suddenly, "Hey you guys?" Her voice was quiet, but it broke their chat. They stared, at her, and Terra was the first to ask, "What?"
"I just wanted to let you know, Faith's gone,"
They were silent, and Bee's eyes narrowed in confusion. "What do you mean, gone? You mean she went back to Sweden?"
"Switzerland," Terra corrected quietly. "Whatever, she went back?" Bee exclaimed. "I cannot believe this! Why didn't she tell us? Didn't she want to say good-,"
"No, you guys, shut up for a moment!" Raven interrupted, "I mean, she's gone-as in, no one knows where she is,"
"Raven, what the hell are you talking about?" Terra asked; her blues eyes glared icily. She did not like this conversation at all. First Brad, now Faith? Why couldn't everyone just stay put?
Raven bit her lip, and she closed her eyes, confessing everything that had gone on since that afternoon, though she left out all of her childhood memories.
Once she finished talking about how Terra had called her from her Creative Writing tutorial, because of Bee-, both her friends were staring at her in horror. Not a trace of happiness was marked on their faces.
Finally, Terra spoke, "Okay, there's someone out to get us…"
"Tell me about it…" Raven muttered.
Terra continued, "I skipped my classes today too… I got a call from Thomas telling me that Brad hadn't come home last night,"
Bee's mouth dropped open, and Raven smiled lightly. "No, but did I tell you how Gar shoved me? Or did I forget to mention he kissed me?"
Bee stared at her friends in disbelief. "Yeah, you both have some serious explaining to do, and I want to hear everything!"
Raven and Terra looked at her, and once again in union asked, "Everything?"
You know, I wasn't planning to kill off Jinx. It just… sort of happened. Wow…
I know this was short, but that's the way this chapter was written.
You have full permission to bash Kitten's head off.
And, if you want, bash or mourn Jinx.
Anyways... next chapter, if you'd like to know, is all about Faith. And bits of Robin.
Happy? XD I've been getting all these E-mails that are, like: "RAWR! I DON'T CARE ABOUT BEE OR TERRA, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO FAITH!"
