I shook my head with tears in my eyes putting on a face as I glared at him, "I don't know what your talking about but to think you're still bringing Rene' up even when she's gone! If mother were to find out she'll-!" "Shh, shh, please hush dear." He quickly let go of me and I looked to my room ready to run. "Okay Vicky listen, I'm sorry about all the fuss I made but it's just that Rene' makes me so an-!"
I dashed past him opening my room door quickly, shutting and locking the door as I took in deep breaths. I thought he was going to follow me but I guess he didn't, judging by the lack of banging. I was relieved and also so tired. This whole day took so much out of me that I barely had enough energy to change into my night gown. I couldn't even cry either because no tears mustered out of my eyes just heartbreak.
To think-to think that Rene' was protecting me from this for so many years and had to endure so much. I-I can't imagine how she feels right now wherever she is. She doesn't deserve any of this she should be with her family she should by-by. I plumped on my bed rolling over to the side in guilt, she should by my side? She's not my mother though nor my sister so am I being selfish wanting her here.
I rolled over to the other side of my bed again thinking, "B.but she was the only one I trusted, that I could talk to. She was someone of importance to me and it didn't matter status nor-!" A light knock came to
my door as I lay in my own tears, wiping them I pushed myself upward to face yet another person today.
I put my hands together, slightly opening the door with my head down but I looked up in surprise when I saw who it was. "C.charles your actually here!" "Yeah sorry I took a bit of a while I wanted to make sure your father was gone I-!" His eyes widen and when I look to see what he was looking at, I saw it was my arm. My skinny brown, bruised arm.
I darted to his dark blue eyes and he quickly pulled out some icy relief medicine and a bandage roll quickly taking my arm. "Oh my does it hurt? I'm sorry I took I your arm so quickly I just got so worried I mean look at the state o' you(worrisome demeanor) arm." His Irish accent was coming out and it surprised me because I didn't hear it too much. Maybe he talked Irish more when he was worried?
He continued to observe my arm while blurting out some more Irish that I didn't understand, "Cé a rinne é seo duit?(Who did this to you)? I mean why on earth would someone bruise ya like this? Victoria are you-?" He looked up at me and I just looked down in dispirit. I had really no energy at this point and I could barley even look Charles in his eyes.
I know he probably hated that though, especially after everything he did for me but honestly I just wanted to sleep. For once I just wanted a really good rest, so I had to find a way to quickly-! "Can I patch your arm please? If you'll let me of course."
