Here's more hope you like it.
Reid and Regen arrived in science class just as the bell rang. "Ah! Thank you Miss Edwards for getting Mr. Garwin to join us today." Mrs. Kirby their science teacher said as they took their seats in the back of the classroom. Science was a bore and history was a blur because they just watched a movie about the Civil War. Math was ok until half way through an office assistant came in with a note.
The teacher looked up at Regen. "Your father would like to see you now Miss Edwards." Regen rolled her eyes as she looked at Reid and left the room. Reid didn't see her until lunch after math when Regen was fuming and the weather outside seemed to match her mood. The clouds looked dark are dangerous; it looked like a storm was heading their way.
"Hey Regen, what's the mater?" Reid asked as he walked up to her in the cafeteria line.
"My father. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. AH!" Regen said harshly as she grabbed a tray of food and sat at the normal table with the Caleb, Pogue, Tyler, Kate and the new girl who had recently joined them Sarah.
"What happened?" Kate asked Regen when she sat down.
"He's making me move back home." Regen snapped. Reid's eyes went big. They had never told anyone what happened to Regen when she was younger not even the others in their group. "He said we and I quote, 'need to be come on big happy family again like before that Reid came along.' God I hate him! And I told him that too." Regen said as she hit fist on the table.
"Hey, now the table didn't do anything to you." Pogue said. The others were thinking that she was blowing this a little out of proportion. After all she didn't live but 5 minutes away.
"Not now Pogue." Reid snapped at his friend. "But you can't move back, what about evil lady?" Reid said. They had started to refer to her step mom as evil lady shortly after they became friends in 7th grade.
"Yea like my father is going to believe me after all these years. He didn't believe me when I was 12 and he's not going to believe me when I'm 17. He's an idiot. I even showed him. God! She's got him wrapped around her finger. Remember when they made me go to therapy cause she convinced him I did it to myself." Regen said looking at Reid forgetting about the others as they had the conversation. The others were listening but were slightly confused seeing as no one but Reid knew about the therapy.
"Well what exactly did you say to your father?" Reid asked,
"Well I told him he was an idiot for marrying such a bitch and that I would never move home even if you got rid of my dorm and got the police to escort me to my house cause I would runaway." Regen said as a mater-of-factly.
"Well I bet that went over well." Reid said sarcastically.
"Nope it didn't so I have 4 days to move out or he calls the police. I gave him an idea about the police thing. Great huh?" Regen replied as she shoved a French fry in her mouth.
"Ok hold on I'm so confused what's the big deal about moving home. I mean I know you don't like your step mom, after all you and Reid refer to her as the evil lady, but she can't be that bad can she?" Caleb asked seriously.
"Not that bad? Not that bad?" Regen said as he face hardened.
"Remember he doesn't know Regen." Reid said into her ear.
"Right well if you want to know why it's a big deal let me show you." Regen said as she stood up from the table and pulled up her shirt and just above her jeans line there was a slight bruise there in the shape of a belt buckle.
"This is what happened the one night I slept in my house cause Reid was too trashed to come get me and I forgot to lock my door. It happened over the summer. It's the only time besides Christmas I stay at my house and most of the time I'm with Reid as you know." Regen then sat down. "That is why we call her evil lady, we came up with it when we were 12 I know not that creative, and that is why it's a big deal that I'm having to move home. I don't want to have to lock my door every night. I don't know about you but I like to feel safe as I sleep at night." Regen said as she turned and left. She no longer had an appetite.
"I know, I know." Reid said as Caleb opened his mouth. "You didn't know and you didn't mean to upset her but she is so I'm going to go after her and just tell the teachers she got sick and I'm taking care of her ok thanks." Reid then left without another word as he went after Regen.
He finally found her in the back of the old gym that was never used anymore. She was on her way into the woods. That's where she liked to go when she was upset. Reid jogged up a little to catch up with her.
"Regen! Regen stop!" Reid called as he reached her and put a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm not going back. I won't do it." Regen said as she looked into Reid's eyes.
"I know. I know. So I told the guys you got sick and that I'm taking care of you. We've got the day off and I've stole Tyler's keys again." Reid smirked as he held the keys up.
"He is going to be so pissed at you later." Regen gave a little smile.
"Now that's what I love, your smile. Come on we'll go to Marblehead and hang out." Reid said as he held out his hand. Regen took it and they made their way to the hummer.
Reid drove at neck breaking speeds around the tight curves in the country. The windows were down and Regen had her hand out of it and letting it flow with the air.
Once the finally got there Regen took off her seat beat and smiled at Reid as she opened the door. "You know what Reid?" She said with only 1 leg out the door.
"What?" He asked. Reid still had his door completely closed and his seat belt on.
"You're it." Regen yelled as she quickly tagged him and took off running towards the woods.
"Not fair." Reid yelled as he yanked off his seat belt and then pushed the door open before running after her. Reid was a fast runner but not as fast as Regen who was on the track team at school. He knew that he wasn't going to catch her like this so he left his eyes turn black.
Regen looked behind her to see if Reid was going to be able to catch up with her. She turned and saw that he wasn't behind her anymore. She knew she was fast but she wasn't that fast. But just before she turned around she was grabbed from behind and she screamed. She was turned around to see Reid standing there.
"Cheater. I know you cheater. You used didn't you?" Regen said as she backed a little form him so she could cross her arms and look at him sternly. Yes Regen knew all about the power and the effects it had on Reid and the others and sometimes she could be just like Caleb when the subject of using came up.
"Oh come on it's not going to kill me…yet." Reid joked.
"Yet being the key word and don't scare me like that." Regen said as she punched him lightly in the shoulder. At that moment there was a loud clap of thunder and Regen jumped from surprise. She wasn't scared of thunderstorms, in fact she loved them and rain.
"It's going to rain, maybe we should head back to the hummer and go back." Reid suggested.
"No hello what's my name again?" Regen asked with raised eyebrows,
"Regen, " Reid rolled his eyes,
"And that means what again?"
"Rain in German."
"So are we leaving one of my favorite spots when it's about to rain?" Regen asked as she smiled smugly up at him.
"Nope but if you don't wipe that smirk off your face…" Reid started,
"You'll what?" Regen asked still smirking,
"I'll wipe it of your face for you." Reid teased as it started to rain around them in the forest. They were both getting soaking wet but neither of them seemed to care. Come on, a swimmer and a girl named after rain these people like water.
"Yup sure you will." Regen teased but then Reid attacked her, tickling her in her sides where she was most ticklish. "Not fair!" Regen's cry was threaded with laughter. "Stop please. Stop." She cried and Reid did.
"Well since now you're in a better mood and class ended like an hour ago and most people think we are sick we should go before we actually do get sick." Reid smiled,
"Can I have a piggy-back ride? Please?" Regen asked as she gave him her little girl face that he could never say no to.
"All right hope on." He said as he turned around and Regen jumped on his back. Reid then walked back to the hummer and dropped her at her side of the car and then walked to his.
On the drive back Reid decided that he should bring it up, "So what are we going to do about this little problem?" Reid asked, as he looked over at Regen who was staring out the window.
"I don't know but what I do is that there is no way I'm moving back." Regen said as she continued to look out the window for the rest of the trip.
When they arrived back they saw Tyler standing by the dorm parking waiting for them. Once they parked Tyler stormed over, "I can't believe you did this again." Tyler said as he held out his hand for the keys. Reid put them in his hand and then walked by him.
"You seriously can't believe he did that?" Regen asked as she gave him a skeptical look.
"No I actually expected it but still he shouldn't do it." Tyler said as Regen jogged to catch up with Reid.
They were almost back to the dorms when Regen finally got an idea about how not to move back into the house. "Reid I have an idea but I need your help." Regen said as she stopped him in the hallway.
"Sure no problem what is it."
"Well you remember the first time you saw it that we were arguing over a necklace."
"Yea, where are you going with this?" Reid asked with a confused look on his face
"Well if we tell my father what you saw and tell him how she still has the necklace and all that then maybe he'll believe me." Regen said hopefully.
"Well it's worth a shot. I guess we're going to your house huh?"
"Yup let's go."
