I saw myself in the mirror with my red dress on. Today was the winter dance, which meant that she would have to kiss Reed Derricks in front of everyone.
"Do you want me to take you to the dance, darling?" My mother was trying on one of my earrings in the mirror in my room.
"It won't be necessary."
I had asked Anne to distract Denzel so I could leave with Reed and it would all be "easier".
"Okay, I have to go, the business deals are closing this end of the month and I'm very excited about everything... Will Denzel bring you home?"
“Yes.” Lie, I would probably end up running away from there and I would have to walk.
I don't know what was going on with me, I usually didn't pay attention to this kind of thing, but since my diary was exposed to the public, people say what they want because they don't really know the truth.
Once my mother left for work, Reed Derricks arrived in the red car that had previously belonged to Denzel. I closed the house and climbed with difficulty.
"Aren't you going to give me a courtesy kiss, Rebecca?" His voice sounded dramatic like that of a television villain. Not responding, Reed took my jaw hard and forced me to look at him. “Remember that you are doing this to protect your sweetheart.”
Damn stupid.
Reed released me and I just stood there. I was shaking without realizing it enough. Reed touched my leg groping me and I slapped him hard on the hand.
“Don't you dare touch me.” I threatened. “You will have what you want, but only that. You won't get anything more from me, Reed.”
Reed snorted and started the car.
"This wasn't necessary, Rebecca." I arched my eyes irritably and saw his face; those attractive features were nothing more than a toxic pleasure, and poison coursed through her blood.
"You're the one forcing me," I confessed. “Just because I don't want to…”
“ "Hurt my boyfriend" Yes, I already know that.” He finished for me.
“Don't touch it, Reed. He is innocent in all this.” He opened the drawer in front of me and jerked out a journal. It wasn't mine, luckily.
"This is my diary." He rubbed it in my face. “Take it, Rebecca.” I took it with pressure and held it tightly in my hands. “Denzel has always had what he wants, what about me? I've just been the family trash. The damn garbage they send to California.” His red eyes looked at me deeply. “Denzel can have everything he wants, but love doesn't; And that's why I do with you what I want.”
“I do not…”
"Open the damn diary and see what a five-year-old draws." I did it cautiously, each drawing was a scrawl of black ink: "All I drew was shadows; death; depression... Tell me if any of that is normal.”
"I don't have the ability to define something like what you ask of me, Reed." My lips trembled. “Need help…”
"The damned help is useless," he muttered. “Everything in me is envy. Everything I want is in this car, Rebecca, and you're going to give it to me.”
"I don't know what else you want me to do."
"Oh, you do know that." Reed stopped the car in the university parking lot. “And you're going to give it to me, Rebecca.”
Reed forced me out of the car and held my hand as I clutched his journal, which for some reason I had with me. Some students noticed our presence and noted how toxic it was, but others just ignored us. It was a day like any other, with sunset fading and night falling; except that Reed Derricks wasn't dumb, and he knew how to play dirty.
"You will not kiss me until your boyfriend arrives." My body became dense.
Everything that me and Joe and Anne had planned was going to shit.
"Why does he have to see this?” I sobbed harshly.
Reed caught me in a hallway, shoved me hard against the lockers, and grabbed my chin. Damn, there's never anyone there when I need it.
“On my fucking wish, Rebecca.”
For God's sake, Anne, don't come with him...
Reed released me, and luckily, I saw the shadow of a girl approach.
“Everything's fine?”
The girl was Megan Gray, who had a nice blue dress and shiny hair. Anne was absolutely right, Megan was two personalities.
I bit my lip, Reed looked at me and replied:
“I was just talking to my girlfriend.” He put his arm around my back.
"She's not your girlfriend." Megan crossed her arms. “You are Rebecca Eyre, aren't you? Joe told me a lot about you.”
Megan turned to Reed and gave him a peculiar look. Did you like it?
"Look pretty, you'd better get out of here." Megan tensed and walked toward him. Luckily, she was the same height as him.
"Do you know who I am, little boy?” he cleared his throat.
Reed eyed her from head to toe and smirked.
"Megan Gray," her voice sounded ironic, I took advantage and slipped out of her grasp. Please, Megan, save me from this idiot, I'm begging you.
“That's how it is.” Megan looked at me. “Stay away from her if you don't want my boyfriend to smash your face in.”
“I'm not afraid of Joe.”
"Not Joe, idiot. Kai.” Reed lifted his jaw seriously. “That's right, stay away from her. Now.”
Reed gave me a warning look and walked away.
"Are you okay Rebecca?" I sighed exhaustingly and hugged her.
Why the hell did I do that?
“That idiot was choking me.” He was literally doing it. “Why did you do that?”
"Because I saw how it suffocated you." I walked away a bit. “Where is Denzel?”
"Well…"
Tell him, Rebecca.
I finished telling him the rest of the story and we went for a drink. Night was already falling and luckily Denzel Derricks wasn't there to see the chaos.
