A smile for Dee (I'm currently removing it, read the new version)

Chapter Seven: Old Friends

“Come on Bianca, I’ll give you a lift up. All you have to do is place the camera at the top.” Samuel begs, his eyes staring at me with hope. Crossing my arms, I shake my head vigorously indicating my refusal to help.

“please?”

“No Samuel, I will not. You can go suck my fungus toe for all I care I will not let you place a camera in Dees only source of privacy.” Standing my ground, I shoot an evil scowl at Samuel.

“what privacy?!”

“Samuel are you stupid, the girl dresses up in here and you are not going to watch her like some wrinkly old paedophile!” I shot back.

“Please? You said she comes in here after her nightmares, it’s important we see what happens in here. Look I’ll promise I’ll let you watch all the videos from her room.” Letting out a long and overly done sigh I give in to Samuels pleas. I am never going to forgive myself. And quite frankly I don’t think I’ll ever forgive Samuel for this as well.

Samuel wrapped up his study lesson with Delilah. Not that they did any studying, she barely took notice of our presence after we came back from sneaking off half the time to ‘bug’ her room as Samuel likes to say. He hands her a piece of paper with his number, hesitating slightly, he pecks her softly on her forehead. For a second there Dee’s eyes widen her body stiff as stone. Wrong move Samuel, wrong move.

Shifting on his feet awkwardly, he punches me lightly on the arm. Bidding us goodbye, Mayella shows him out the door.

“So how’d you’re study session go?” Natasha came in wearing a pair of old sweatshirt and yoga pants. Dee stared straight ahead, evidently uninterested in the whole conversation.

“Fine.” I answer. Natasha and I both look towards Dee expectantly. With her gaze on neither of us, she packs the remaining of her books before walking out of the room.

“Okay? I’ll see you later then?” I yell out awkwardly behind her. Natasha raises an eyebrow at me, shaking her head at the same time.

“Not used to her being like this, are you?” running her slender fingers through her dead straight silky blonde hair, Natasha stares at me intently. Shrugging my shoulders I take a seat beside her.

“You’ll get used to it, just don’t provoke her or do the same mistakes her mother is doing now.” Natasha says, a glint of sadness surfacing in her eyes.

“You really don’t get along with Renée do you?” I ask, curiosity taking the best of me. She chuckles lightly to herself, the smile not reaching her eyes.

“I do get along with Renée how could I not, she’s my step mum, but whenever the subject becomes about Delilah we both seem to have opposite options.” She sighs.

“She’s only trying to get answers; I mean she wants to know what’s wrong with Dee. What’s so bad about that?”

“It’s how she does it Bianca; she’s just getting too desperate…” Nat’s eyes wander of in another direction, taking in the surroundings around us. Biting my lip anxiously, I remember an issue which has been bugging me since Tuesday.

“Umm, Natasha? You knew Jayne right?” I ask. Her grip on the chair tightens, as she stares at me with disbelief.

“Yeah..,” she answers with uneasiness.

“Then can you tell me what happened to Jayne?” I turn to her pleadingly as she toys around with her golden hair.

“I was waiting for you to ask someone eventually.” She speaks, more to herself than me. Her brows not up in confusion almost like she’s having an inward battle with herself. Meeting my eyes I take notice of the small tears forming in her eyes. This can’t be good, Natasha doesn’t do crying.

“Bianca, I know you were friends with Jayne, and I’m sorry you’re only finding out now but...”

“But what?” I urge her. Tears stream down her face at this point.

“Natasha tell me what happened to Jayne?”

“Bianca, Jayne has been listed as missing since January 31st this year. Bianca she’s been missing for the last nine and a half months.”
