She is back

Chapter Twelve

Rina's POV

I was woke up and got dressed in my my big shirt and jeans. I woke up James too and after he freshen himself up he we went dinning room for breakfast.

James cousin had arrived in night during the game so I couldn't get to meet her yet. We took our seats and I sat between her and James, he was glaring at her for some reason.

The maid came and served us she gave all of us except James cousin pancakes while she gave her a salad. I found of her name is Barbara, as we were talking I didn't realize I was already halfway through with my food.

I heard Barbara scoff and then said, " are you really going to keep on eating that you are already look like a fat pig, you're a lady act like one", everyone stopped talking and eating and started glaring at her.

I placed my fork on my plate and stopped eating. It pained me to stop eating the pancakes but I hard to deal with this matter now so I shut her up.

Are you suggesting that I stop eating and waste this food like a spoilt brat that you are or maybe you want me to starve myself like you. You don't have make someone else feel bad just so you feel good about yourself because it won't change the fact that you are an insecure bitch who starves herself to meet the expectation of her peers.

With that I finished eating leaving everyone shocked, I could see unshed tears in her eyes so I stood up went to her ear and whispered you don't have to be who you don't want to be so someone will think you are pretty, you are beautiful just the way you are.

That said I left and went to the tent in the garden and watched animes during the second episode James came and didn't say a word and just watched it, I was laying down on his lap while he was playing with my hair, I could see he thinking and contemplating asking me something so I paused the video and that got his attention he  turned to me.

Is there anything thing you want to say; I asked. I just want to apologise for my cousin attitude she shouldn't have said those things; he said, I knew that wasn't all because he was still thinking whether he should continue with the question.

What happened between you and Quagmire; he asked I involuntary flinched at the question and he clearly noticed it. Okay two things after I tell you this I don't want you to look at me differently and i want you to tell my family about it because I can't relive this twice especially not in front of them, he nodded to them.

Okay so it all started when I was nine, I was out with my parents, but I left to go to the toilet, Mom wanted to follow me but I refused because I thought I was a big girl. It was there where he kidnapped me I don't know why, I tried to fight him but I couldn't do anything, in the end he drugged and dragged me away.

When I woke up I was in an unfamiliar place, I didn't know what to do so I started crying then one girl who was just a few years older than me comforted we quickly became friends over the months I stayed they she was always there for me, we treated our wounds and stitched ourselves when the beatings were worse.

We all didn't know why we were here he just randomly picked children and beat them to the point of death just because he found pleasure in it. When for the first time he tried to rape one of us I couldn't just stand by watch so I tried to stop him, I did but then I had to suffer the consequences he took me to the torture room, whipped me punched and kicked me and just when I thought things couldn't get worse he brought Camilla the very first that talk to me and my best friend and he shot her right in front of me.

He had a firm grip on me I couldn't help her pleaded for him to let me go, I begged for her to be alive but that didn't happen none of it did, he suddenly let me go and ran away turns out the police were about to catch him. The police to us to our various homes I was back with my parents but that day still hunts me she died because of me.

I don't know when I started crying, I looked up to James and so mixed emotions he was definitely angry but I could also see he was proud of me, why would he proud of me after what I told him.

You are really a brave girl and I'm sorry that you went through that, it wasn't your fault don't ever think that again; he said.
He hugged me and thankful I didn't flinched, I cried into his shirt after some time it turned to quiet sobs, he kept on stroking hair and this plus all the crying made me tired so I fell asleep because I didn't have the strength to stay awake.
