Running with Revenge

𝓭𝓮𝓾𝔁

"If falling is worth it

Please catch me when I do"

"I think you should go home right now,ok." Jonah says to Lace as she looks down and nods. Lace puts her arms up and asks,

"Hold me?" Jonah nods and picks up the broken girl, cradling her to his chest. Jonah hands Lace the cassette player as she stares at it.

"Here you go. Keep it okay?" Jonah says sternly,making sure that Lace doesn't try to return it.

"Okay?"Jonah questions.

"Okay." Lace says softly. She clicks play and hears Vienna again. Jonah looks over at Lace and smiles. Even though she's going through a loss she still escapes by listening to music. Slowly Lace falls asleep listening to the piano of Vienna. Jonah looks over at her and reaches back, pulling a blanket that one of his other girlfriends left behind. He puts it over her and turns up the music slightly, tapping his hands on the wheel. Yes, he was sad about Bee but he has to make sure Lace won't spin out and lose her sanity. After thirty minutes they reach Lace's house and Jonah gently shakes Lace awake.

"What.." she says groggily as Jonah leans over the dash.

"You're home Babydoll" he says as Lace gets up from the car. She walks barefoot on her driveway as Daliah looks at her weirdly.

"We watched a sad movie at the drive through, she got a bit emotional" Jonah whispers,hoping that would explain how sensitive she was. Daliah nods somberly,

"She hasn't been this sad since her dad died. Well thank you for bringing her home." Jonah walks away from the Reigne household as Daliah sits back down to do her work.

Bee stares at herself in the mirror, her dress was bloody and her shoes were brown from the forest. Bee takes a deep breath in and walks over to her dresser and pulls out a random pair of clothes, walking in the shower. She plays music and steps into the steaming hot water hoping that it would calm her nerves. As soon as she hits the two minute mark she breaks down,sliding to the bottom of the shower. She sits there for 15 minutes and takes a loofah and scrubs,hard. Hard enough to get rid of Val's touch and hard enough to get rid of Bee's blood.

"Ange, are you done? You've been in there for quite a while." Daliah asks. Lace quickly washes her face and opens the door.

"I'm fine. I'm just really tired maman." Lace plasters a smile on her face and walks to her bed. Getting in and hoping that she can forget what happened.
