CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE !
☆
ESTELLA SAT IN HER cell, the door locked and curtain covering, so nobody could see in, like an actual bedroom door. she sat on the bed, a bag of reese's pieces in her hand, and a book in the other. she hadn't spoken to anybody since she got back from the run, except doctor S when he stitched up her head. she ignored charlotte, oliver and issy entirely.
she found out about zach's death and blamed herself. if she wouldn't have made bob jump, he wouldn't have slammed down the liquor and make the shelf fall. they wouldn't have got stuck underneath it, and zach wouldn't have died trying to help. she didn't feel good knowing that she had now cost 3 people their lives. it hurt her completely.
"estella, you in there?" she heard a voice outside.
"who is it?" estella asked.
"it's maddy. can you let me in?" she asked. estella sighed, getting up and opening the curtain and the door, letting maddy in, and shutting it again.
"what do you want?" estella asked, sitting back down.
"you were supposed to get oliver's cigarettes, you didn't." maddy said, sternly. "now i can't have one."
"it wasn't my fault. i tried to get them, but a shelf collapsed on me and knocked me out. then i stopped breathing and they fell out of my pocket and my dad found-"
"daryl isn't your dad. everyone's been saying it behind your back. there's no way that a man like daryl could be your dad. you're a wuss." maddy insulted.
"why are you saying this stuff?" she asked, sadly.
"because, stupid, you're a damn wuss and it's about time you do something about it. do you know how much trouble olly is in because you ratted him out?" she said back, stepping closer.
"i didn't mean to." she frowned, getting up. "i'm gonna go."
"no, you're not. sit back down, right now. daryl doesn't care about you, someone told me that he said you just follow him around but he doesn't want you to." maddy laughed.
estella furrowed her eyebrows. "he didn't say that."
"yes he did. he said he never wanted to be a dad, that's why he didn't have them. but then you lost your dad and he felt pressured into it." she said, snatching her candy off her and throwing it on the floor. "so, stop being such a wuss and maybe he'll like you more, maybe we all will."
