The Girl with Scarlet Wrists [Rewriting]

The Girl with Scarlet Wrists Chapter 30

Chapter 30:

Layla's POV:

I don't even know where to begin to tell you how relieved I am that Chase is out of my life. It hurts tremendously that I was used and trashed.

But relieved I am.

"Larissa? Hello you awake in there?" My instructor smiled at me.

"Oh! I'm so sorry I sort of blanked out." I finished the problem that was on the board for me.

"Wow. Record time too!" He exclaimed. He's such a nerd.

"Anything else today?" I asked kind of bored with the same routine. Lola and Will were in the language department learning Russian. It's funny how much their accents get in the way.

"Nope your all set."

I bounced over to the language hallway and peeked in the door way listening.

"Okay now say, My name is Lola. And...Go."

"Uhh Здравс uh...... "

"Здравствуйте, меня зовут Лола" I finished for her. (Hello my name is Lola)

She thanked me silently.

"Ah Miss. Ivanova, that was quite impressive- но вы можете сделать лучше?" (But can you do better?) Their instructor challenged.

"Вы забыли, что это мой родной язык?" (Are you forgetting that this is my native tongue?)

"Просто тест на волю, чтобы увидеть, насколько хорошо вы знаете свою страну." (Just a test on will, to see how well you know your country) She smiled mischievously.

"Принеси" (bring it)

"Какие цвета флаг России?" (What are the colors of the Russian flag?)

"Белый синий и красный" ( White blue and red) I answered quickly.

Lola and Will tried desperately to follow along with us but we were going way to fast for their intellectual abilities.
"Кто был первым человеком, председатель Русского Советской Федеративной Социалистической Республики?" ( Who was the first chair man of the  Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic?"

"Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin"  Papa talked about him alot. I touched my gold locket.

"Very good!" Class dismissed.

"Your a bright woman miss. Ivanova!" She called as we exited.

"Thanks for saving my ass back there, she would have chewed me bloody out if I had'nt got it right." 

I laughed "No problem, I remember how hard it was learning english".... I traled off.

Do I really remember?

"давай Лариса, вы должны научиться его для меня, потому что папа и мама" ( Come on Larissa you have to learn it... for me, for papa and mama.) My aunt coaxed to me.

"Hi, my name is Layla?" I stumbled over the pronunciations.

"Very good!" She exclaimed. 

"Я скучаю по России!" ( I miss Russia.) 

"Я тоже конфетка" (Me too sweetie.)

I kept walking down the hall. Soon, soon I would return to my homeland. Even though I wish I'd never left.

********************************

At home we sat in front of the tv watching the "American" Superbowl.

"AW Come on that's a bloody fumble!" Will shouted.

What's with them and using the word bloody? Isn't that like a stereotype or something?

Jane flew out yesterday, I can't help but thinking that there was something between Chase and her. Something old, maybe he used to go to the institute. 

Wouldn't surprise me.

He's crazy as hell.

Jane didn't seem all that convincing telling me those crazy ass hallucinations were all in my head you know.

I wanted to cut so bad but I can't.

Can I even remember the first time I cut and why?

OH it was that Alysia girl right? Or what it Anna?

What ever.

I recited the memory poem over:

"My name is Larissa, I am 16. I was adopted by Marissa and Rick, Julia is my little sister she is 6 I think..... years old. I cut. I am a cutter. I am healing. I will heal. Kara and Sammy are my two best friends.

My ex is Chase. He betrayed me. I'm in Tide Ridge, but it is healing me. I am coping. My biological parents were murdered in Russia, Geovani & Ratilia. I was four...or three.. I'm not sure. It's okay to be unsure. My father was the owner of Uhbevc corp. I am from Russia. I am 100% Russian. Chase cheated.. now were apart... again. I'm going to Russia. I was adopted....2 times yeah I think that's right.  Chase is a liar. I never loved him. It was only a high school crush and that's it. I want to go to Russia so bad. I can't remember anything else..........

I sighed frustrated at how weird that sounded something was off. 

"Lola how many times was I adopted?"

"Four I believe. Yeah that's right." She said nodding and shoveling popcorn into her mouth.

Four?

How do I only remember two then?

Oh my God. This is getting bad.

And quickly.
