Chapter 11:
Rebecca's POV
I sat down with my knees to my chin as I looked at the ceiling window with the stars above. Must be nice to be free… I think I've been here for… three days now. I sighed, I was starving and thirsty. Sky I think she was called, the one who annoyed be tried to give me some food and water but I shook it off. I can't show them that I'm weak I leaned my head back. My asthma's getting pretty bad; I left my inhaler back at that restaurant and forgot to get it back. I was supposed to use one on a daily basis to help improve my lung capacity.
"There are better ways of dying than to starve yourself," I sighed, can't I get a break? It's just one thing after another. He stepped forward and looked at me closely; I found it annoying and looked away after a few seconds. "Sky told me about your mom," he said softly, "What happened to her?" My eye twitched, what's up with them getting up in my business? I shoved him off and turned around facing away from him, "So it's a soft subject." He winced,
I sighed annoyed and stood up glancing around the place, "You just don't get it do you?" I looked at him tiredly,
"So you're speaking to me now?" he asked amused,
I rolled my eyes and tapped him on the chest, "Yes you prick I'm speaking to you," I spoke, "I mean on how you think keeping me locked up is getting what you want."
"Huh?"
I raised my eyebrow, "Well what do you want?" I asked genuinely, "Money? Fame? What?" I leaned back curiously,
"Now you don't get it." He stood up and walked towards me trying to intimidate me, he tapped my forehead. "Don't you get what the word soulfinder means? We're half of the same whole, I'm one half and you're the other. I've been searching for you for the last two years and I finally found you." He smiled which made my stomach feel… lighter. He took my hand and kissed it, "And I'm never letting go." He tightened his grip slightly showing his claim.
I would've been impressed at that speech, I moved his hand away and stepped away, "Sorry, but I don't feel that way." I said flatly, "All I feel towards you," I pointed at him and then at the door, "And your family," I stated, "Is hate. I hate you and I will do nothing more than to watch you fall along with that pathetic savant net of you." I explained in disgust and walked away from him, "I feel nothing for you." I emphasized, "The only positive I will feel for you is when I smile at your defeat." I stomped my foot and sat on the chair.
"Becka," He trailed off trying to get me on the same page as him,
I huffed frustrated, "I just want to go home," I took a step back and looked away.
…
"Were going shopping Becka, want to come along?" The Benedict's mother looked at me with a nice smile,
I looked away before hearing a British tone, "C'mon Becka," Sky looked at me persistently with a look in her eyes saying; please do not leave me with her. I smiled a bit before debating whether or not to go.
"Okay," I said simply, I mean how bad could her taste be?
…
Never underestimate your opponent again.
I wanted to puke at the clothes she chose for us, I will never discriminate my stepmom again for picking me clothes. Blurgh! I slowly picked a yellow dress with plaids and frills and literally through it back on the ground and turned around. Oh Sky you owe me big time. I'm suing the company who made that. It's a crime for that to even be on display. Sky's face looked pale white and I can't blame her.
Karla looked impressed at her choice and I looked at her, what-are-you-on-women?-Cocaine? Cannabis? I shook my head and walked to another aisle which had more ahem, realistic clothing for me to wear. I picked a plain purple top with dark blue jeans and zipped up black boots and a denim jacket to keep me warm. I walked back to the changing room and immediately got changed without seeing the look on Sky's or Karla's face.
I got out and revealed my outfit. The denim jacket made my eyes stand out as my jeans showed off my curves. The t-shirt showed my chest well and the boots went well with the outfit. I smiled and nodded at the outfit. I went back to get changed and put the clothes in the trolley, I saw Karla frowning at me and I raised an eyebrow at her,
"Becka sweetie, I thought you would like to try this dress I bought you."
"On what planet are you from?" I bluntly responded, "Nobody in their right minds would want to wear that disgusting piece of crap on themselves unless they wanted to drop dead."
Sky looked at me shocked while Karla's eyes began to form tears. I looked away and walked past her, began to pay for my dresses and heard Sky trying to comfort her.
…
"That wasn't very nice…" Will summed up,
I glared at him, "I wasn't trying to be nice," I looked away, "I just want to go home and be away from all this crap."
"Listen," Will said firmly, "I've spent all my life trying to find you, I'm not losing you again just so you can go back to being with…" he paused looking for the right word.
I shoved him, "Go on say it! The dark side or whatever, I'm not ashamed o it." I spoke trembling with anger, "They raised me and supported me when I lost hope, and look what you and your pathetic excuse of a family did. You cuffed them one by one." I yelled angrily, "They were my family, even if I believe the fact you were my soulfinder I cannot get past the fact that you cuffed my family and threw them into prison." I yelled, "So back off, I don't need your help Will, I just want to leave and go back to what I do best." I pointed my finger at his chest with emphasis. "And that is taking that so called savant net and using it against you as well as kicking your arses all the way to hell."
SMACK!
