The Debt

CHAPTER 13: Oh Hell No!

~EVE~

         I walked up to her before she opened the front door up.

        "Here." I told her as I handed her the money.

        "This is your guys'." Rosalie tells me.

        "We don't want your money. Cause for one, we really don't need it since he's figuring out a way to make Axel pay and everything and second of all, I know you are full of shit." I call her out.

         "What?" She asks.

         "I know that those so called tears of yours and the whole 'I'm a victim' act is bullshit. You forget I know all your tricks and all of your acts." I tell her with my arms crossed across my chest.

          "It's not an act. And fuck you for thinking it. I really was trying to come here and apologize and hoped that maybe you and I can start all over again." She says.

          "Really? You are serious?" I ask her, giving her one last chance to confess that she is full of shit.

          "Yes. Really" she replies firmly.

          "Alright. Then what the hell do you call this?" I ask her as I pull out cut up sheets of paper that was supposed to be the so called cash she gave us. "Or even this?" I said while  quickly pulling off a wire that was connected to her bra and threw it onto the ground.

          "You bitch! You are going to pay for that! He will kill you and Stone along with all his guys. You have no idea." She angrily says.

          "There we go. There's the stepsister I know. I knew you were full of shit. Besides, he isn't gonna do shit and should be the one preparing for his last words as well as you too. I know all about the scheme from overhearing the conversation Axel had with that guy that night he harassed me for the last time and guess what? He mentioned that you were in on it too. Surprise surprise." I say the last part with sarcasm.

          I then see her look over my shoulder and then grin at me. "Looks like my work here is done." She grins and then quickly turns and leaves.

         I slam the door shut behind her while at the same time trying to see what the hell just happened. It all seemed like a movie. Though I am glad I had called her out on her bullshit for the first time in my life.

        Then I start to think how I should tell Stone about the conversation I had overheard that one night. He'll understand.

         As soon as I turned around, I saw him standing there, glaring at me looking pissed off.

        I swallowed a big gulp and then slowly began to walk towards him. I knew he had heard what was said.

        "Stone, I swear I was going to tell you." I begin until he cuts me off.

        "I don't want to hear it." He says. "I knew I couldn't trust you." He says as he turns to start walking back upstairs.

         'Oh hell no!' I tell myself as I begin to follow behind him.

         "Don't you walk away from me." I began. "You are such a little child. In fact, your worse than a kid. Instead of hearing me out, you would rather stomp upstairs and throw a fit then to talk it out with me and to let me tell you. Not to mention that it was really hard to tell you when you were so busy being an asshole to me. But I really was going to tell you." I finish as soon as we get to the top of the stairs.

           "Fuck that!" He snaps at me as he turns to look at me. "You could have told Char or even Trey. Somebody to relay the message, even Chris. So don't pull that whole 'you didn't have a chance'. I will say that yes, I was an asshole to you. I admit that, but you still could've told me the other night or today, even this morning!" He says.

           We both stand there looking at each other in awkward silence until I say softly, "You're right."

          "What was that?" He asks me.

         "You're right." I repeat, only a little louder. I suddenly feel a little bit embarrassed and start thinking that maybe he's right, in a way. "I'm sorry."

         I avoid eye contact with him and as we both stand there in front of each other for an awkward brief moment, I hear him take in a deep breath and let it out.

         Then right as I begin to turn and head into my room, he grabs my wrist gently and turns me to face him again as he gently places a hand on each side of my face and looks into my eyes.

          "I'm sorry baby. I shouldn't have said those things to you and I'm honestly not even mad at you. My anger is more towards Axel and Rosalie and am really sorry that I took it out on you." He finishes.

           "It's okay." I tell him while wrapping my arms over his shoulders and we both begin kissing each other.

           "You know, we need to get ready for Char's birthday dinner tonight." He reminds me.

           "Oh, that's right. Okay. I'm gonna go and get ready and meet you back out here in  an hour?" I suggest.

            "Sounds good." He smiles.

           "Okay." I smile in reply and we give one another a quick kiss before going to our rooms to get ready.

            Today has seriously been really weird and a little hard to comprehend or even believe. But, oh well, I'm just glad Stone and I weren't upset with each other. Or at least able to put it aside since tonight was Char's birthday dinner and both Trey and Char were gonna be here in a couple of hours.

           Also, call me crazy but, I don't care. Something about the way he looked into my eyes and apologizing made me wish he would take me right then and there.
