Chapter 19-Redemption...

Rachel paced across her floor . How could she make him understand how much she wanted to keep him here with her without knowing the truth. The truth that he has to go , go with her . The girl who killed him. The one who was killed by her lover before killing her. How could Rachel tell him that what Angel told her . 

The next day Rachel was in a haze. She ignored Jason and his gang. She smiled and nodded to Flynn and her friends ,but her thoughts traveled to the house that was going to be torn down soon. She needed to talk to Adam today even if it would crush her heart to pieces .

She stood at the rusty picket fence ,"you can do this," she whispered to herself.  She walked up the pavement  and with every step her heart went closer and closer to bursting .

"There you are , took your time didn't you." Angel sneered. She looked flawless as ever . "Why haven't you told him yet?".

"Because you have to tell him yourself, I'm not doing your dirty work for you," Rachel hissed.

"You have to he wont listen to me, I hate to admit it but he cares for you ," She whined. Her regal disposition gone in a second.

"I won't do it , you have to be the one who to tell him.Come on I'll come with you ." Rachel said without looking back she walked up to the house and called Adam.

"There you are . Where have you been? I been so worried." Adam smiled. He always had a way to stop Rachel in her tracks, but she had to do this and do this now or she would lose him forever. 

"We need to talk?" Rachel said. She felt herself becoming a cliche girl about to break her heart and his heart. 

"What is it? Am I in trouble?" Adam laughed He seemed so light and happy even with the darkness that surrounds the house. 

"Angel needs to tell you something," Rachel moved to the right to let Angel pass. She stood there trembling. 

"What the F**** DO YOU WANT?" Adam hissed like a viper. 

 "I'm sorry. I c..couldn't stop h..him . I Tried but h..he told that you didn't care about mee...please I was foolish...I GOT IN OVER MY HEAD...WHEN.HE.KILL..." She was sobbing . Wailing to much that her words ceases to make sense.  

" I can't Angel, Do you really think I would just forgive and everything we be dandy?" Adam spit. His words sharp and cold. 

"No," She cried. "But I just want to let you know that I was scared, he raped me, he threatened to kill me or you . I was so scared I told him I didn't care about you , I thought he wouldn't go through it, when he came home he made me do ...." She broke down in sobs . "I'm sorry, I know you won't forgive me, but I need to tell you that when he told me I raced to your house. He told where he hide you I tried to get you out," She transform her hands. They were covered in dried blood stains and the nails were gone. " I tried pulling the pieces apart I had one pulled out when he arrived . He killed me right in front of you. All this time , I was so angry at him , at you , at myself  that I couldn't tell you."  

"What are you saying?" Adam asking , his hands were trembling . He shock his head trying to shake off  what Angel was saying. 

" I wasn't strong enough to help you, I think now I am." She said. Fast as a she could she kissed him on the lips. She pulled back. His bright blue eyes looking at her , She was fading fast. She said " You have to move on for me, for your family, no one can hurt you anymore." Her last words until she was a wisp of air. Rachel hoped she was in a better place. Truth had redeemed her, could it redeem Adam as well.  Adam stood solid as a rock. Guess not. Time was running out. What could be holding him back? Rachel thought.

"She was a little fool,"  Judas laughed. "Too bad!"
