Katana's Revenge

Hoping Time Heals The Soul

Song: The voice within by Christina Aguilera

By the end of the day, I have two dozen of roses, twelve white and twelve yellow roses. There is also carry out from the restaurant that he had someone deliver. We don't do take out orders but I guess he made an exception for me. When I got home the first thing I did was take a long hot shower. I let the heat consume me as I finish of crying. Now I am sitting on the couch with ReAnn.

"He brought you more roses; I think he really is sorry." She gives me this puppy dog expression.

"And?" I say coldly.

"And...dear lord girl can't you tell that guy is madly in love with you." She throws herself on the couch.

I sit down beside her and face her. "Re...I can't do this. If you only knew what he did? He freaking lied to me. I asked him if he was involved with killing Mr. Harper and he said no. But he was he ordered the hit. What if he also got rid of Raine, who the hell does he think he is? He doesn't freaking own me, hell we are not even dating and he is all up in my business."

Her eyes go wide I'd disbelief.  "Oh...shit...seriously he had something to do with that?"

"Apparently and the guy wanted more money that's why he took me, thinking he could get by with it and he did."

"Actually no he didn't; they have the money marked. They know where they are. They found them an hour after we picked you up. You were out cold on my lap when he was on the phone talking about it."

"Really...so if that is the case why didn't he get to me sooner."

"Well, when you called they were still in the process. They had hoped you would have still been with them. He didn't think that they would have dropped you off."

"Well they did, either way it doesn't matter I'm home now right," I sneer.

She doesn't say anything as she glances my way. She picks up the TV remote and looks through the channels to find a good movie. And we stay up late watching anything that will get me into a better mood. I know she is trying really hard but honestly a part of me just wants to be alone.

By mid-night we are both sleepy so I find my way to my bedroom. However once there my mind won't shut off and it keeps replaying everything that has happened in the past two days and even when I had asked him about Mr. Harper, how could he just lie like that straight to my face.

The next day more roses come, these are lavender and a note 'take the week off...if you want to talk I'm here.' I debate on throwing them all in the trash but I place them on the table with the others.

I have to get dressed and ReAnn is going with me to get another phone considering mine got lost. I no longer have any of my contacts which is good. I mean it could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you look at it. After buying it I call my dad.

"Hello, Sheriff Harlow here."

"Dad...it's me...I had to get a new phone; I kinda lost mine."

"Oh...everything ok?"

"Yeah...I just left it somewhere; I don't know but this is my new number alright."

"Ok, so how are you doing?"

"I'm making it. Maybe I can come home over the weekend and we can catch up on each other's lives."

"I would like that."

"Ok. I got to be going; I love you dad."

"I love you too sweetheart."

When I get off the phone, ReAnn rolls her eyes at me. "You didn't tell your dad that you were taken."
