The Way It Goes

Chapter 5

Destiny

"Destiny,you okay?" Tati interrupted my chastity. I wanted my to suffer. I could I leave the person that held me at night when he raped me repeatedly. How could I betray such a person?

"Destiny?" She had worry in her tone and her face was full of fear.

"What happened Tati?" I felt as though my appearance looked as if I was calm but in reality I was terrified.

" Rebecca just passed out. I already put her in the car. We have to go now."

She grabbed my arm and dragged me down the stairs. I didn't mutter a word. I was too flustered to think let alone speak. Look at me again, just caught up in my own problems I can't even realize that Rebecca needs me. She has always needed me and I have never been there for her. Well why don't you look at that. Why don't you look at that? What should I do about this? This matter has to be attended to. The fact that I allowed this innocent woman go through years of abuse.

"Destiny, please stop beating yourself up."

Rebecca began moaning and I stroked the side of her face.

"If anything she needs you more now. Look at her there doesn't seem to be much fight left in her. C'mon what is the purpose of feeling bad for yourself. You did it and now let's move on. Can you do that for me?"

She had to be right in some way right? She had to be.

"I don't know how to do this. I need you to help me." I could hear the utter defeat in my voice.

"You can start by wiping your tears and being strong. Then you can go be there for your sister. I'm sure you have had one of these moments and I'm sure Rebecca was there for you"

I knew my best friend was right but I still felt guilty. If I would have stayed or at last went back for her she wouldn't be in this predicament.

"You have approximately five seconds to get out of your feelings or I'm going to slap you into tomorrow. You understand Miss Lady? "

I nod my head slowly while trying to stop this thinking going on in my head. It was easy to say yes but so hard to just stop. But I had to right because at the current moment I need all of my focus on my little sister.and with that last thought I turned off my brain and looked over at Rebecca. Even in her sleep she looks like she's in excruciating pain. I often wonder how she could handle so much and still smile at the end of the day. That was always something I love about Beca. She never let anything stop her smile.

"We here. I'm going to get someone."

I nod and proceed with unbuckling Beca's seat beat. I carefully pull her arm over my shoulder and slowly use my weight to pull her out of the car. I look up to see nurses running towards the car. As they got closer Rebecca wakes up and begins to scream.

"Please get him off of me." Was all she repeated. This brings tears to my eyes. Flashbacks of me screaming the same thing rang repeatedly through my head. I could feel my throat closing and I broke out into a sweat.

"Destiny, are you okay? Hello? Dest?"

I could hear her voice but I couldn't speak.

"Hey, look at me.....C'mon...Look at me.."

I slowly moved my face in Tati direction. I hold my gaze while she continues to speak.
