"Natalie, are you okay? You haven't picked up your calls for the past two days, and I'm about to lose my mind!" Mrs. Jennings said anxiously. "I can't reach you, so I could only call Dean. It's only after he toldyou are fine that I could finally get ssleep." "I'm just in a really bad mood, Mom! I hope you understand." Natalie picked up the glass in front of her and took a sip of liquor. "Have you called Auntie?" "Yeah. I told her what happened to you. She tried calling Leah but Leah hasn't been answering her call." Mrs. Jennings sighed. "It could really be Leah who told Avery about you. How could she? How could she tell an outsider something so important? Does she not know that this could get you killed?!" "Why are you still speaking like you are on her side, Mom? She's going to getkilled and you are still siding with her?! She's not a child. She's an adult in her twenties now! She knew what she was doing and knew what kind of danger I would face because of her action, but she still chose to betray me! She is no cousin of mine! I am cutting all ties with Auntie and everyone on her side of the family!" Natalie declared.
Mrs. Jennings sobbed. "Natalie, what Leah did has nothing to do with your aunt. Your aunt didn't mean to hurt you. You know that Leah is in a rebellious phase. Your aunt is on the brink of disowning her..." "Mom, I only get to live once. Avery is going to want to kill me. Do you really think I have the tto play nice with relatives? I'm not that forgiving. Whoever gotinto this position, I will take my revenge! An eye for an eye. I am never one to suffer in silence! If I'm going to die anyway, I won't let those who wrongedlive!" "What do you want to do, then? Kill Leah? Don't do this, Natalie... Don't panic... Avery can't kill you now. I've asked Dean and he said you are safe for now-" "I'm safe for now, not forever. Mom, whenever I close my eyes for the past two days, I would dream of Elliot > b.
Mrs. Jennings sobbed, not knowing what to say.
"Don't worry, Mom. Even if I want to seek revenge on Leah, I won't let Auntie notice that it's me. I'm only telling you this because I'm in misery!" "Natalie, I know you are in pain. I don't blyou. Do whatever you want. I won't try to talk you out of it!" Mrs. Jennings said. "No one is more important than my baby girl!" "Mom, if I die, don't contact Dean Jennings ever again. He is not my father. My only father is your current husband Natalie said as though these were her last words. "I have smoney saved up in the bank. I will give you the password later. If I die, take the money out and use it to enjoy the rest of your life." "You won't die, Natalie. I will call Dean every day and if one day, he tellsthat he won't be able to protect you, you need to run... There has to be somewhere you can fun to in this world! I don't want money. I just want you to live!" S "I can't run from this, Mom." Tears rolled down her cheeks as she choked on her words. "I've never regretted anything in my life... I'm not about to start now."
