Through Rayne's Eyes

Chapter 5

Two days later was the wedding rehearsal. Rayne was talking to Maggie and Henry when they all heard a bang. Rayne looked down to see firecrackers go off.

"Run!" a voice said from above them.

Rayne looked up to see Madison and JD fleeing. Hmmm, so it had to be his idea.

"Don't worry, I'll get him." Rayne told Henry and ran after JD. She had noticed Madison wasn't with him anymore. "JD! Get back here now!!"

He continued running. It's time for this to stop!

Rayne put on a burst of speed and when she got near, she tackled him to the ground. The two rolled down a hill until they came to leveled ground, with the two next to each other.

"Why do you do stuff to Henry like that?" Rayne asks as she sat up.

"I don't know, because it's fun." JD replied.

"That wasn't very nice JD. Henry's mad at you, I know it."

"I don't care."

She huffed and stood up. "What the hell is wrong with you?!!"

He also stood. "What are you talking about?"

"Ever since your folks died, I can't even recognize you anymore!" she said angrily. "You dress in black, have tattoos all over you….!"

"You dress in black."

"Not all the time! And we're not talking about me!"

"Calm down Rayne."

"No, I won't calm down until you tell me what's wrong!!" she yelled, panting.

All of a sudden, Rayne's cell phone went off. She answered it. "What?!"

"Rayne, don't speak to me that way."

Rayne sighed angrily. "What do you want mom?"

"I want you to come home."

"Are you gonna make me?"

"What did I tell you about speaking to me that way?!"

"You don't control my life!!" Rayne hung up and turned her phone off. She sat down on a log, frustrated. "As I was saying….you need to tell me what's wrong."

"Nothing's wrong. I just wanted to have a little fun." JD said, defending himself.

"I understand that, but why Henry?"

"Do you want me to play jokes on you?"

"No, but not on Henry either." She said. She pinched the bridge of her nose. "Fun is not torturing Henry. Fun is doing something, not torturing, not playing pranks or any of that shit."

He sat down beside her. "Seems like we have a lot to catch up on." He says.

She laughed a little. "Seems we do."

A couple hours later were the wedding rehearsal. "Abby, can you turn off the lights?" Maggie asks.

Abby nodded and went to go shut the chandelier off. She turned it off and suddenly, there was a groan and everyone looked at the chandelier. Mr. Wellington was under it.

Then, something dropped from the chandelier and onto Mr. Wellington's head, making a squishing sound. Madison screamed.
