The Sound of Revenge

Reality Hit

But it couldn’t. Darcy dropped me back at school and we said goodbye. I didn’t want him to go but he had to. The rest of the week was slow moving. When people asked about my neck I told them I had an allergic reaction to something. No one seemed to notice that Jarrod had the same excuse about my nail dents around his shoulders and neck. Jarrod didn’t do anything for the rest of the week. I guess he was shocked about the monster I could become. I had to admit I was shocked too. It wasn’t until Friday that I could talk to Laura about her outing with Ryan the afternoon I was with Darcy.
“I didn’t tell you because I didn’t know” said Laura.
“What do you mean you didn’t know? If you didn’t want me to know you can just say so. I don’t mind.”
“I didn’t know because he just showed up. After school. I was walking to the car park and he pulled up in front of me” she said.
“So you just got in the car? With him and Darcy?” I asked.
“No. Well...yes but I needed to see him.” I could understand. I had needed Darcy too.
“Does he know about the baby yet?” I asked.
“No, but it’s just so hard to tell him. I don’t know how he will react.” I could understand but at the same time I felt that time was running out for Laura. If she started to show and hadn’t told him yet it would be even worse.
“What if you tell him on Saturday?” I asked.
“Saturday?”
“Yeah you know, the double date?” I said.
“Right. Yeah I guess I could, but not in front of you and Darcy. I’d want to tell him alone.”
