Ch. 21 The Secret She Can't Keep
A/N: What's up? Welcome back to another chapter of Heartbreak For Hire! As always, I'm Bambi. This is getting posted really early because it's one of my favorites. I hope you're all doing well and are staying safe. Gotta admit, this chapter is sad. Also, there is violence so a warning is now in effect. As always, I have not/do not/probably nor will I ever own the rights to Welcome Back, Kotter or any of its characters. I do own Amara though! Now, onto this sad chapter.
The party had been great! Vinnie really seemed to enjoy himself and Amara didn't see Rosalie after she came back downstairs. Now, Amara and Vinnie were just laying in bed talking. "Happy birthday, Lover." Amara murmurs. "Thank you, sweetheart. Did you enjoy yourself?" Vinnie asked. "I did. Your family is great." Amara assured. Amara and Vinnie fell asleep and don't wake up till the next morning. They're awaken by a loud pounding at the front door. "Who's that?" Vinnie asked jetting out of bed. "I don't know." Amara yawns as she follows him.
They go downstairs and open the door to reveal Rosalie standing on the other side. Here comes the stunt. Amara felt her heart sink into her feet and a nervous pit formed in her stomach. "What's up, Totsie?" Vinnie asks as Rosalie pushes her way in. "I'm here for a chat." Rosalie smirks sitting down in a chair. "What?" Vinnie asked confused. "Wait! Did you two fuck?" Rosalie grilled. "None of your business." Amara replied. "So yes. Great job, Amara! You can tell him now!" Rosalie laughs. "What's she talking about?" Vinnie asks looking over at Amara.
"Our plan. See Vinnie, Judy Borden, Keke Kornberg, and myself were sick and tired of you treating us and the other girls at school as if we were disposable. So, we came up this plan. That's where my weak little cousin comes in. Amara agreed to help because some guy hurt her like you hurt us. It was only supposed to be for a few dates, sleep with you, and then break your heart into a million tiny pieces. She's already done the first two parts." Rosalie explained with a slight cackle. "This true?" Vinnie yells at Amara. "At first it was." Amara starts.
"Then I got to know you. Judy, Keke, Bambi, and I stopped this plan the night you and I hot together. Now she's here to ruin us." Amara explains as tears formed in her eyes. She just wanted to disappear. "That's true. They tried to end it, but there's no way out." Rosalie shrugs. "Lover, please I'm sorry. This was stupid and I was wrong." Amara tries to steer him. "Get out." Vinnie murmured coldly. "What?" Amara whispers. "Get out! Leave me the hell alone. I never want to see you or your whore of a cousin again. You lied to me and played games. I don't like that. I actually cared about you." Vinnie shouted as Amara goes to touch him. He nudges himself from her.
"It was her idea! I care too. I love you, Vinnie. Please don't do this." Amara begs. She couldn't lose him like this. "Get out of here. Rosalie, I'm telling the whole school what you did." Vinnie shoos them out. Amara takes one final look at him. He's so angry and she deserves this. Amara walks out with a grinning Rosalie in tow. "Are you happy now? Did you get what you wanted? Was this fun enough for you? You miserable bitch." Amara asks. "I'm not happy, I'm ecstatic. I got exactly what I wanted. This was a ball." Rosalie replies all chipper. "Your reputation is so destroyed." Amara reminds.
"I'm Hotsie Totsie. My reputation destroyed way before you came along. Now, go run back to Staten Island, go hock lip gloss in that tacky department store, and give Aunt Bev my love. Vinnie'll forgotten all about you by next Tuesday. Thanks for the help. Bye now." Rosalie starts to leave. Amara checks her watch. "You know, I don't have to be at the ferry for another ten minutes. Plenty of time for me to-" Amara didn't finish her sentence as her fist collides with Rosalie's mouth. Rosalie gasps as blood starts pooling. She reached for a handful of Amara's hair.
Amara shoves her on the grass and they're now on the ground getting hits in. Amara gets a knot on the top of her head and Rosalie gets a fist to the jaw knocking her out cold. "Stay away from me, Vinnie, and the girls. You're a monster and we don't need you." Amara screams before running off to catch the ferry. She sobs the entire way home.
