The payback
The next couple of days Carmilla didn’t show up at the classes and Laura got worried. She decided to pay her a visit at her house. When she arrived, she was shocked to see Victoria waiting outside Carmilla’s place. She decided to do what every normal adult would have done, hide behind a bush.
“Bitch open up. I know you are in there! Just because you are not coming to school, doesn’t mean that I can’t find you” Laura saw the door opening. And Carmilla showing up at the doorstep.
“What the hell do you want Victoria? Haven’t you done enough already? Leave.”
“I am not going anywhere. I enjoy making your life a living hell!”
Laura froze at the view of Greg. Greg was Victoria’s boyfriend and he was the worst person you’ll ever meet. Laura just sat there. She sat there when Greg punched Carmilla. She couldn’t move, hell, she couldn’t even breathe. Things happened so fast, next thing she saw was Carmilla alone on the ground. She ran towards her, as fast as she could.
“Carmilla! Oh god no! What have I done!”
Carmilla was trying to stand up when she felt Laura’s arms on her back. She turned her head, only to see tears on Laura’s face. They both stood up and went inside the house. Laura helped Carmilla to the couch and ran to the kitchen to grab some wet towels. As she was cleaning Carmilla’s face, tears started to fall again.
“What’s the matter cupcake? Do I look that terrible?” Even though her bottom lip was bruised and bleeding, Carmilla managed to smile to Laura.
“Carmilla, I am so sorry! I promise I won’t leave it like that”
“No Laura, don’t do anything stupid. They will forget me sooner or later. It’s not a big deal”
“But it is though. It is a big deal. Look at you Carmilla, I I…” Laura tears didn’t let her finish her sentence. She was looking at Carmilla and couldn’t believe how strong and positive she was, even after all this. Before she knew it, she was hugging her. Carmilla was confused at first, but finally she let herself get lost in that moment! Everything hurt but she was craving this moment for a long time and she wasn’t going to stop it.
The hug stopped so suddenly when Laura stood up and starting walking towards the door.
“This is going to end now”
“Laura, where are you going?”
“It is my turn to fix things”
Laura was standing outside Victoria’s house, trying to figure out what to say. She was lost in her thoughts when the door opened.
“Laura! What a lovely surprise! What are you doing here?” Laura stood there speechless. Still don’t knowing what to say and how to say it.
“I just came home. I went to have a chat with that bitch Carmilla”
‘That bitch Carmilla’ these words played over and over in her head. And that was it. She couldn’t control herself any longer! Her arm was raised high and fell of Victoria’s face with so much force. And Laura didn’t even care about anything anymore. Just Carmilla.
“Yeah, I know all about your chat with Carmilla. I read every word of it on her face. And to think that I only came here to talk to you. Oh no, slapping you felt so much better. You better listen to me carefully, if I ever see you or your boy-toy near Carmilla again, you will regret it. You may not know that, but I know stuff about you, so don’t mess with me. I know all about you and your mother. Just because she was able to convince the world that she earns all that money from being a professor, doesn't mean she was able to convince me. I know she threatens students for money, and oooh boy i have proof of that. So, don't mess with me, cause you and Mrs Elena are going down"
Victoria was holding her chick with her hand and she was just staring at Laura. You could see the shock written all over her face.
“I think you should leave now”
"I am leaving, but know this. Carmilla is my friend. And she did more for me in the last few days than you ever did in the last year. I don't like when people are messing with my friends. And I mean it, stay away from her, or people will find out about your mum's “job”. Am I clear?”
Victoria stood up and slammed the door on Laura’s face. Laura turned around and a smile appeared on her face. She felt so good to finally confront Victoria and finally defending Carmilla, after all those years of torture. She had to go see Carmilla now. She had to. But first, what a lovely surprise to find Victoria’s Mercedes Benz parked outside her home! The sound of her keys scratching the side of the car was music to her ears. That’s why she had to listen to the whole album, so she scratched the word bitch in the front. Laura’s smile got bigger and now was the time to go see Carmilla!
