Chapter 27- Confessions of the Broken
Her lips quivered as she tried to open her mouth. She blinked rapidly and her hands were shaking. “I-I-” she stammered.
My stomach dropped. I couldn’t believe my eyes. “You what Rose?” I croaked.
“I-I… I’m sorry OK,” she sputtered. She wrung her hands in a desperate attempt to hold herself together. “It- It was an accident. I-I-” Her eyes widened.
“How could you?” Sebastian exclaimed from behind me. I turned to face him. His green eyes were wide with horror as if he had been trying to convince himself it was all a lie, his nose flared a little and his pink lips quavered.
“Sebastian, I-” she called out to him, but she was too late. He had already rounded the corner.
Rose crumpled to the ground and I could tell from the way her body was trembling that she had been beating herself up about this, but I couldn’t find it within myself to console her. She had killed his sister and didn’t even have the decency to own up to it. She dated him and kept it a secret from him. How could she do that to him?
I shook my head and made my way to my car. I knew that technically I was skipping school, but I couldn’t be there anymore, not after what I’d witnessed.
As soon as I got into my hot pink Lamborghini, I exhaled the breath I’d been holding in for so long. I rested my head on the steering wheel. How in the hell did I get here? All I used to worry about was not getting caught for a few harmless pranks. And now I was fending off rich bitches because of two guys and exposing culprits.
I sighed and pulled out my cell phone. I dialed a once familiar number that I had stopped calling since I got here.
“Hi mom.”
“Jadelynn, darling… How are you?” my surprised mother answered.
“I don’t know mom,” I pouted into the phone. “Everything’s sort of crazy. Dad is remarried to some blonde- you know what-, I met my grandmother who is very intimidating, Alice is a math TA at my school, my “stepsister” hates me, Dad thinks I’m mentally unstable, Will is in the hospital and I’m probably going to get suspended for skipping school and giving my teacher the middle finger.”
I heard my mom sigh through the phone. She had probably closed her grey eyes and was rubbing her temples now. “Jadelynn…” she groaned. That was the same tone she used whenever I called her to bail me and Cleo out of jail. She sighed again and rethought her approach. “You’ll be fine. You’re a smart, beautiful, funny girl. Even though everything may seem messed up now, it will all fall into place. After the rain-”
“Comes a rainbow,” I finished, smiling into the phone. “I miss you.”
“I miss you too, Jadelynn.”
“Anne, are you coming back to bed?” I heard a husky male voice ask through the phone.
It took me a few seconds to recognize the voice. “Say hi to Jake for me,” I said. Jake was my mom’s fiancé. I had hated him at first, but when he didn’t get mad at me for pranking him, the highlight of which was slipping 5 Viagra pills in his drink, which sent him to the ER, I gained a new respect for him.
