Chapter 15 (Picture of Rachael)
Rachael's POV
"Behave," Jake said and I shot him a glare, we walked upstairs to my room and we sat on the bed.
"So what do you want to do?" Rico asked.
"Um, do you like COD?" I asked.
"Yeah," He said and I got up, I got the game from my bag and put it in. "Ok, you ready to lose Ray?" I hid the surprise of his nickname for me.
"You wish Rico," I said, I didn't know where this confidence was coming from. But I liked it.
Naomi's POV
"Rico!" Rachael yelled and I heard running footsteps. "Rico stop!" Rico came walking dow and he was mad, Rachael came down. "Rico," She turned him around. "You seriously can't be mad at me."
"Watch me," he snapped.
"Ok, what's going on?" I asked.
"Rico's mad at me because I beat him in COD," Rachael said.
"Because you cheated," he spat.
"I didn't cheat!" Rachael snapped.
"Both of you stop it now before you wake up that baby," Jake said sternly and I hit his arm.
"What?" He asked.
"I'm going home," Rico said.
"Rico, stop being an ass," Aaron said.
"But she cheated," Rico said.
"I'm going back to Chase's," Rachael said.
"No you're not," Ethan said.
"Who's going to stop me?" She snapped and he sent her a warning glare.
"Rachael, just go to your room," Ethan said.
"But I did-fine," She said and she started walking up to her room.
"What the heck Ethan? She didn't do anything," Rico spat and he walked upstairs.
Rachel's POV
"But I did-fine," I said and walked upstairs to my room, I laid on my bed and cried into my pillow. A arm snaked around my waist and pulled me closer, I turned over to see Rico.
"Sh," he said and rubbed my back. "If they want to be asses they can be asses. Don't let them make you cry, you're to beautiful for that." I looked at him shocked.
"I'm beautiful?" I asked.
"Rachael, yes, you're beautiful," he said.
"My dad always called me ugly and told me I looked like a little slut," I said.
"Rachael, what's your middle name?" He asked.
"Grace," I said.
"Rachael Grace, don't listen to a word he said to you, that's not true," he said sternly, he kissed my cheek. "It's ok now." I scooted up where my face was in front of his, we talked for the longest about the randomest crap.
"Rachael, Rico, time to eat," Naomi called and I walked to the bathroom and washed my face. I walked out with Rico and we walked downstairs, they had pizza and we sat down. My phone vibrated and I ignored it and it vibrated again. "Rachael, turn off your phone." I did but I didn't want to talk to him in the first place.
"So, what were you guys doing upstairs?" Ethan asked but we didn't answered.
"Aye!" Justice said and I flinched. "Ethan's talking to you two." I looked down.
"Rico," Aaron said. "Ethan's talking to you."
"I know," Rico said.
"Rachael," Naomi said and I looked her.
"I'm done," I said.
"You're not finished yet," Simone said and I finished eating, we got up and started to walk upstairs.
"You two get back here," Jake said sternly and we looked at him. "Sit on the couch," I sat on Rico's lap. "I said sit on the couch, not his lap." I rolled my eyes and my phone vibrated.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey Rach," Hunter said.
"What do you want?" I asked and stood up but Rico grabbed my back pocket and pulled me back down onto his lap.
"Where are you at?" He asked. "You left me."
"I needed to leave," I said.
"But babe, you didn't even tell me bye," he said.
"I didn't tell anyone bye," I said. "I came with Casey."
"You have Casey?" He asked and I smiled.
"Yeah," I said and Rico touched my stomach which he had cold hands.
"When are you coming back?" He asked.
"I don't know, babe," I said.
"Babe?" Ethan asked.
"It's Hunter, they don't date, they just call each other that," Naomi said.
"You're staying with Ethan and Naomi?" He asked.
"No, they don't even date," I said. "You know their complicated."
"You can say that again," he said. "Hey, Alex just got home, I gotta go."
"Ok bye," I said.
"Bye," he said and hung up.
Naomi's POV
"Ok bye," Rachael said and hung up, she sat back and Rico pecked her cheek. She blushed and covered her face, Rico chuckled. "Ugh! You're mean."
"I'm mean because I made you blush?" He asked and she looked at him.
"Yes," She said and he bit his lip, he leaned in to kiss her. I knew she was nervous because she's never been kissed.
"Who wants to watch a movie?" Aaron asked and they looked at him, Rico shot Aaron a glare and Aaron smirked. We all agreed and we sat down.
"Do you want to watch a Disney movie?" Simone asked.
"A what?" Rachael asked and we looked at her.
"You've never watched a disney movie?" Aaron asked. "Toy story?" She shook her head and I looked at Ethan.
"My dad wouldn't let me watch TV," she said.
"Wait, wha-"
"Let's just put in a movie," I said and they looked at me weird.
"We have to let her watch a Cinderella story," Leanna said and we agreed. We put it in and watched it. By the end Rico and Rach were asleep and Rico had his arms protectively around her.
"They look so cute," Macy said and Rachael stirred and Rico pulled her closer. Jake walked and tried picking up Rachael, emphasize tried.
"Rico, let go," Jake said and Rico opens his eyes, he let go of her and Jake grabbed her. Rico stood up and we were all smirking, Jake carried Rach upstairs.
"What're you guys looking at?" Rico asked.
"Did Rach tell you?" I asked.
"No," he said. "She was just surprised when I said beautiful girls aren't suppose to cry."
"What'd she say?" Ethan asked.
"She said that her dad always called her ugly and a slut. I told her don't listen to him because isn't wasn't true," He said and Jake came down.
"Back the truck up, I'm not understanding," Leanna said and Rachael walked down.
"I just took you to bed," Rachael," Jake said and she looked at him.
"I know and I got back up," she sassed and Jake clenched his fists, surprisingly she wasn't scared. Aaron looked at me, he pulled Jake back and bent down to her level, she looked down.
"Rachael, look at me," Aaron said and she looked up slowly. "Are you scared of me?" She looked at me. "Don't look at Naomi, look at me," She looked back at him. "Are you scared of me?" He looked into his eyes.
"You want to know the truth, hot shot?" She asked.
"Shoot," he said.
"No, I'm not scared of you," she said.
"Oh really?" He asked.
"I'm not scared of you because you can't hurt me," she said.
"What?" Aaron asked, I could tell he was trying not to get mad, Rachael smirked.
"Rachael," I said.
"Be quiet Naomi," Aaron said not looking at me. "Who said I won't hurt you?" She smirked.
"I didn't say you won't hurt me, but what you can do can't be no worse than what my dad did," she said. "Or what I can do."
"Yeah right." He said and she got in his face.
"Newsflash, I might be small but I can snap you like a twig," She said. "I trust no man, I learned that from living my dad. What I've seen and been through you couldn't handle."
"Rachael." I said.
"Naomi." Aaron snapped.
"Can you handle seeing your mom on the floor beaten unconscious? Or being slapped for no damn reason? Or being beat because you sneezed or coughed? Or being kicked because your sick? Or your brothers having to hit you so you wouldn't get beat worse? Or being locked in a closet with no food and you're terrified of the dark? Or being raped every fucking night by your own fucking dad? What I've seen is nothing a 8 year old wants to see." she gritted through her teeth and had tears in her eyes. "You can't handle that, I'm broken inside but yet I'm standing here standing up to someone that a whole lot of people are scared of. So don't tell me what I can do." She slapped him and I looked at Ethan.
"Rachael." he said and her face turned shocked and she gulped. She looked at Rico who was shocked and froze. She looked at Jake and walked to him, he picked her up and whispered something in his ear and his face turned shocked. She looked at him.
"Just thought you might want to know,l." she said.
"You have to be wrong." he said.
"No," she said and got down, she turned around and moved her hair to show a mark on the back off her neck. "Looks familiar doesn't it?" He picked her up and he hugged her tight.
"Ok, what happened?" Macy asked and jake turned around and Rachael moved his hair and revealed a mark.
"Rachael is my sister," Jake said.
"And Casey isn't Ethan's baby," I said. "It's Chase's."
"So basically, your baby daddy is Jake's brother?" Leanna asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"How'd you know that was your brother?" Aaron asked.
"Because, I found his birth certificate, his necklace, and the photo of us," she said. "Don't tell Dre I told you."
"Dre's going to figure out." Ethan said.
"I know," she said. "I don't want to see Ray."
"It don't matter whether you see him or not, he's not touching you." Ethan said and Jake kissed her cheek and she wiped it.
"Ew." she said.
"You weren't saying that when Rico did it." he said and smirked.
"Shut up," she said and got down, Rico came and picked me up and hugged me. "What's up with you people picking me up?"
"Your light and tiny." he said and chuckled, which made me smiled.
"Back the truck up, how did Naomi know all of this?" Justice asked.
"You have a big ass mouth." I spat.
"Spill." Jake said.
"Because, my dad and her dad were good friends and whenever I had to stay at her house. The same thing would happen to me," I said. "So basically, I'm not scared of anyone of you either."
"Tell another lie Skye." Ethan snapped.
"It wasn't a lie," I said and Ethan came and got in my face. "I'm not scared of you, I'm scared of what you can do."
"Aaron, Jake, I could win against both of you," I said and they crossed their arms. "Jake, you have strength, Aaron you have strength and have fast hands, but you don't have quick reflexes. Same for Ethan but he knows my weaknesses," he grabbed the back part of my knee and I bent down. "Stop!" I slapped his chest and he smiled.
"Oh and Jake, she's also weak on the back of her ear." Ethan said.
"Will you stop?" I snapped and he smirked.
"Simone, Ethan's the same on his neck." I said and smirked.
"I didn't tell you guys everything. Rachael said and we looked. Rico had his arms around her waist.
"What do you mean?" Jake asked.
"He knows where Jake is," she said.
"Who?" He asked.
"Dad," she said. "He also isn't very happy with Naomi either." she looked at me.
"What? What'd I do?" I asked.
"Because he knows you had fun with Jake." she said and I looked at Jake.
"I didn't tell anyone." he said.
"But Halley did." I said and I looked at him.
"Also, dad wants me back," Rachael said and we looked at her. "I can't go back."
"You're not going back." Aaron said.
"My dad is capable of a lot of things." she said.
"Just hope-" she chuckled.
"He can't help me now," she said. "As many times as I've prayed to get out of that house and he never once helped me. Why would he help me now?"
"He helped you, you just didn't notice." Leanna said.
"We need to get home." Simone said and they all left, Jake carried Rach to her room and he came and got beside me. He pulled me closer and kissed me, I crawled on top of him and he grabbed my butt and I bit his lip. I laid beside him again and we drifted off to sleep.
