Eliza punched George's arm before turning to her sister. "Why are you so close to him now?" she questioned. Alisha gulped, she herself didn't know how to answer her sister.
"Well, he isn't the same person. It took me a second to realise it, but the Bryan that murdered us all in my last life isn't the Bryan that's pursuing me now. So, I'm giving it a chance. I'm only nineteen, isn't this the time I have to discover myself and date boys and all that?" She looked around the room to see nods, however Bruce seemed to have paused.
"You're just forgiving him?" He suddenly asked, his hands trembling, a vein showing on his forehead. Alisha understood his anger, and she felt it too.
"No. I haven't forgiven him, but it's not this Bryan I have to forgive. This Bryan hasn't done anything. This Bryan isn't going to hurt anyone here. Bruce we've been given another chance to live, we should make the most of it." She answered, however her heart trembled in anger, thinking of what Bryan had done to her in another life. The pain she had felt with each death, the horror of being killed so abruptly. "Forgiving is hard, so is forgetting, however both are very possible. I can't just let him get away with things, however I can't hold him with anger for crimes he hasn't committed yet. We need to make sure that he never commits such atrocities again, however we all must realise that Bryan's change won't actually change everything. Fate will try to reset the old path, the fated path. There will be someone else that will go as far, or even further than Bryan. We need to find them and put a stop to their crimes before it's too late." She explained.
"But Alisha, how can we even find someone like that? It could be anyone." Eliza asked.
"We can start by identifying those we already know of. We still need to keep eyes on Bryan, however we have more enemies than we know. Diana's also covered. James isn't. Eliza, make sure your dad doesn't go nuts."
"Our dad," Eliza chirped, receiving an eye roll from Alisha.
"Next are people that work for us, underground, that definitely don't love us…" The night progressed as they narrowed down the five most likely people to be as bad Bryan.
"This list is pretty good, but it could still be anyone." George chirped. Although he was high, it had been hours. The effects had begun to wear off.
"That's right, Eliza, who's Savin Smith?" Alisha questioned and Eliza quickly logged into her twitter.
"You basically ruined his life a while ago. What a bastard!" Eliza sighed as she read through the tweets. "How could someone do all this stuff?"
"People suck, princess, not everyone's raised nicely." George teased.
"I know, I'm not that naive. I was just… saying." Eliza frustratedly groaned. She, like most women, was tired of men being condescending jerks so often.
"Okay. Can he be added to the list?" Annabelle asked.
"Well, something did happen today…" Alisha explained the situation that had happened and everyone laughed.
"That must be like the fourth time that's happened in two years, and it only ever happens to you. How?" Eliza chuckled.
"I don't know! It's so damn annoying! But Bryan found out that she had been ordered to do so from one Savin Smith. He's still bitter, damn petty boy." Alisha complained.
Richard laughed and replied "anyone would be bitter if that happened to them! Come on Alisha, why wouldn't he be bitter?" Alisha sighed and shrugged.
"I'll take care of him, give him a dose of my awesomeness and become his besty!" George giggled, however his eyes were dead serious. He was their best bet because he was only a recent addition to the group. "What a sissy!" He cursed as he read more about Savin. "What kind of trash pulls this? There's a separate compartment in hell for dudes like him!"
Eliza smiled at him, she was glad that the boys around her drank their respecting-woman-juice, she hated the sexism that seemed to constantly surround her. Being a model meant having to deal with shitheads for a career. She had put many men into jail for sexual harassment, which had started a movement that made female and male models that had been harassed to speak up about it. She was very vocal about her opinions and had been on multiple talk shows where she talked about her opinions.
In her most recent interview, the host had asked her why she was so vocal her response caused a riot on twitter from supporters. "Why aren't you vocal about feminism? Why isn't everyone vocal about women having equal rights to men? We're half the population of the world, if we're quiet who will speak up for us? Men? Please. You men don't care about feminism unless a woman tells you to be concerned, your mother, wife or daughter. It astounds me, how many men reply to my twitter with comments like 'who cares about feminism?' or 'shut up you woman', and I get so riled up and angry when I read those. So, why shouldn't I speak out? I'm a woman and I deserve just as much respect as any man."Her words rung through the minds of many women, however her position of privilege also had to be recognised, thus she continued her statement "I do acknowledge that because of my rich dad, I have more opportunities than most women. However, I want to fight for those who can't. There's no point if I'm the only woman that gets respected, and even if I do receive respect, it's because of daddy. That's why for the first few years of my career I never even used my actual name, and I was still speaking out and still making my voice known. It's our job, as women, to fight for what's right." Of course, her words didn't solve the problem, however more women were vocal about their problems and about the equality issue.
After the show was televised, James joked "Rich daddy's always got your back!" and received six eyes glaring at him. "Just kidding!" He chuckled.
