Revenge and redemption
Chapter Seven
Bradlee brings Veronica a drink and a blanket.
She’s a wreck. And even though everyone is quiet, we are all thinking the same thing.
I’ve never experienced death before. I didn’t know how to handle it or whether it was appropriate to do anything. I needed to say something. I mean these guys appointed me the leader, and I failed Robbie. “Hey, shouldn't we like, say a prayer or something?”
Tony, who is very much surprised at my conviction says, “You don’t need to ask Tony. The Lord is always listening, man.” Tony frowns and adds, “If you’re suddenly planning on calling for the Lord’s power, you better mean it.”
I smile and point at Tony saying, “Well, you’ve just been ordained, my friend.” Upon hearing this Tony shakes his head and laughs, “You have got to be kidding.”
But I am deadly serious and tell him, “You are the most religious person I know buddy, hell you’re the son of a pastor. If God is going to listen to any of us, I know he will listen to you first and foremost!”
Veronica surprisingly backing me up in this claim then added, “He’s right Tony. You are the only kid in the prayer club at school.” She then adds with emphasis, “In fact, you are the prayer club!”
Tony then sighs, looking surprisingly sincere, “Look I do believe in God, I do have faith, but that makes Tony no different than anyone else. The faith I have is something you can all have. You just have to accept Christ and believe in him!” He then looks back at Gina’s sleeping body and carefully added, “This faith is in you if you just accept it; you don’t need Tony!”
Silence again.
Gina starts moaning. Her eyes slowly blink open, and she appears so weak. I can see she is terrified and trembling. Feeling sorry for her I give her my blanket and put it around her shoulders. At which she gratefully whispers through her chattering teeth, “Thank you.”
“Do you–“ I begin to ask.
“Remember anything?” Gina finishes. “Yeah. I remember everything. It’s like I can see myself, but I couldn’t stop myself from hurting you all.” Gina is failing to hold back her tears. Veronica tries her best to comfort Gina telling her, "It’s ok. You’ll be ok.”
But hearing her words of comfort are not doing that much good, so Veronica turns from consoling her to encouraging Gina to get back on her feet. I’m on the floor, packing up all the weapons that Robbie and Bradlee collected into a duffle-bag. I use this time to get my head back into the game. Gina sits down next to me. She looks so sad, staring at my wounded leg and let’s face it, the body lying across the room. I’m not mad at her, but I don’t really know what to say. Gina wraps her arms around mine and rests her head on my shoulder. Her little way of saying I’m sorry? I take a second to enjoy the hug, then kiss her atop of her hair.
