Our Hearts Journey
Chapter 10
Let Me Say I'm Sorry


Saturday morning came and Rebekah Masters finally rolled out of bed. It was just past 8 am, she walked to her bathroom and looked in the mirror seeing her eyes looked a bit puffy from all the crying she did yesterday in front of Sakura and Tadashi. She sighed and got ready for the day. Once down stares shes was wearing a long sleeved red and white striped v-neck top. With a black mini skirt she was just moping around barefoot as she got herself some food for the day. She looked out the widow even the cloud covered sky looked like it was unhappy.

She sighed again but then heard her little brother Jordan ask, "Why are you sighing sis?" He was busy playing video games on his game counsel but could still look out of the corner of his eye.

"Don't worry about it Jordan Ill get over it." Rebekah stated.

"Okay whatever you say. By the way mom and dad are out shopping and wont be back until later on." He mentioned.

"Oh I see." Rebekah said as she began to make some food for herself. "Have you eaten?" She then asked.

"Yup." He said.

"Okay then ill just make eggs for myself." She said.

After eating breakfast she felt a little better. Rebekah went up stares again was just going to paint her nails since she didn't really have anything else to do today. Just when she was going to pick out a color the door bell rang. "Who could that be?" Rebekah wondered.

But before she could get to her own bedroom door her phone began to ring. "Oh brother." She said as she went to look at it. Her eyes widen when she recognized the number. It was Jim. She then picked up after the 4th ring.

"Hey are you home? This kid I guess your brother or something is telling me to get lost and trying to push me off the door step...Get down here I came all this way to say something now haven't I!" Jim said as she could hear him and Jordan in the back ground saying "What do you want with my sister?!"

Rebekah ran down and into the front of the house. "Hey Jordan it's alright hes a friend of mine. Let him go." Rebekah said.

"Well why didn't he say so sooner." Jordan said looking up at Jim with a death glare.

"I was but you kept trying to get rid of me." Jim answered back.

"Okay Jordan this is Jim Hawkins also my tutor from school who goes to the college. Now you know. So go back and play your video games." Rebekah pointed using her right hand for him to march right back inside.

"Fine ill leave you two love birds alone." He said with a cheeky grin before running away.

"Oh I am going to get you for that!" Rebekah said now blushing. She then turned to Jim and saw his face looked a little flushed as well. "Um you can come on in my folks aren't home anyways so...ugh what am I saying..." She said now really flushed.

"Look I wanted too...I wanted to apologize to you. For how I have been treating you since day one practically. You were just being yourself and trying to get to know me. When I wasn't even trying to open up and giving you the time of day. So I'm really sorry." He said with an apologetic look.

Rebekah was blown away by all this. She finally found the words to speak once again. "Thank you Jim. D-does this mean we can really be friends?" She said now feeling a little nerves.

"Yes Rebekah I'd like you to be my friend." He said holding out his right hand. She then took it and they shook on it. "But there is one thing I want to talk over with you. And you have to listen alright." He said now looking serious.

"Yes, what is it?" she said tilting her head to the side.

"You have to promise to pay better attention when I tutor you in math. Other wise I can't help you. And if you really want to get to know me don't ask so many questions in one day. And give me a chance to reply to you too got it." He said putting his hands in his jacket pockets.

"Y-yes sir!" She said standing up straighter.

Jim cracked a smile finally and laughed. "Okay I am not Mr. Boring the Teacher. So relax alright."

"Right." Rebekah said rubbing the back of her head.

"Well I have to get going. Oh but before I forget I wanted to give you this. For you and your 2 friends." He said taking out 3 cards that looked like invitations to a party. "This is to get into my mom's Halloween party coming up next Saturday on the 31. Ill say this I ran into your friend Rin and she was pretty scary...haha, just kidding. But I hope you can all make it. It's a naborhood party I've also invited Alan and Tadashi so give your friends a heads up for them. Well ill see you later." Jim said turning around.

But before he could take even a step Rebekah said in a loud and excited voice, "Thank you Jim!"

He turned around and blushed by the sight he saw at how cute her smile was. "Sure thing." He said as he then walked off. Not wanting her to see his blushing face no matter what.


**********************************************************************************************************


Later that day...

"Awe man..." whined Jordan, "Why do I have to come along with the 3 of you to the Halloween store shop for who knows what kind of girly girl costumes you'll pick out?"

"I told you 2 times already this is not the 3rd time mom and dad said you are still to young to be at home alone while they are out for the whole day. And besides they told me you can pick out whatever costume you want this year." Rebekah said waving her hand off at him as she, Sakura, Rin, and Jordan all stood just outside of the Halloween store.

"What really? Finally I am tired of mom picking them out for me." He said with a look of excitement.

Both Rin and Sakura began to giggle at Jordan's comment and he blushed for his own mistake for saying that out loud. "Oops did I say that just now?" He asked in a shy voice.

"Yes you did Jordan." Sakura said with a smirk. But then waved it off, "Lets head on in. It's cold out here."

Once inside Jordan walked over to the boy's section of the store to see what he could find. While the girls stuck together. Rin then tapped Rebekah on the shoulder and looked up at her friend.

"Yes Rin-chan?" she asked.

"So I know you told me over the phone that Jim came over in person and apologized and even invited all of us to this Halloween party next weekend. But I want to know are you feeling okay? Like did he really seem sorry when talking to you?" Rin asked looking worried for her friend.

"Of course. He was very sorry, and he was willing to be friends with me even. So I think that's a good sign right? You agree don't you both of you?" Rebekah asked her friends.

Rin and Sakura nodded their heads. "Then see it's a step forward a positive step forward. Now off to the girls section to find something awesome to wear to the party." Just then she remembered what Jim had also told her about there other friend's being there. "Ah before I forget Jim also told me he invited Alan and Tadashi too the party too. It's kind of a naborhood thing in general so it should be pretty fun. He said for me to let you both know." When Rebekah turned to face her friends she saw both of them blushing bright shades of pink and looking down at the ground. "O-oh my. Hehe, you two look so cute right now." Rebekah said gleefully.

"L-l-lets just go get our costumes." Said a flushed Sakura as she rushed pasted both of her friends finally getting to the section they wanted to be in.

"I wonder what theme we should go as this year all together?" Rin said pondering as she looked through some costumes on one rack.

"Well last year we all dressed as pirates so that's a no." Rebekah mentioned.

"That was pretty fun yarg!" Sakura joked. As the girls all laughed remembering last years Halloween.

Just then something caught Rin's eyes it was a pretty picture of an Ancient Greek Goddess costume. The outfit was a long white dress with an off the shoulders kind of look to it but still had straps at the top. It was white then had different shades of blue starting from light to darker shades of blue as it got down to the bottom of the gown. "Oh this looks pretty. Hey girls come have a look at this one I found." She said.

"Wow that is pretty. Do they come in different colors?" Rebekah wondered.

"That is pretty. I like this one." Sakura commented blue being her favorite color and all.

Rin looked around then saw a store clerk. "Excuse me!" She called out to them.

The store clerk was able to show them the costumes in 3 different colors and different styles even. Sakura got the blue one that Rin had seen the picture of first. Then Rin got a pink one, while Rebekah got a purple one. When they found Jordan he had picked out a ninja costume and a fake sword to go with it.

"Hah what do you girls think of me being a ninja? Do you think mom and dad will like it too Sis?" He asked.

"That's pretty impressive." Rin commented.

"Good choice Jordan." Sakura said with a nod.

"Looks good and I am sure mom and dad will like it. Now lets go buy our items." She said.

Once they bought all their costumes they walked back to the Masters home. Where they found Stephanie and William Masters pulled up in the drive way. They had gotten some pizza for lunch and were bringing it in.

"Oh your all back perfect timing." William said to the teens. "We got pizza for lunch for all of us. Rin, Sakura, I called your folks and they said you two can stay for lunch today. Sound good!" He said with a thumbs up.

Rin grinned and said, "Sounds good to me Mr. Masters!" giving him a thumbs up back.

"Yum I am pretty hungry from all this walking." Sakura said.

When everyone was inside and sat around at the informal kitchen table that sat up to 6 they all had Pizza with some diet coke to drink.

"So what costumes did you all get?" Stephanie asked. "Since you girls always go with a theme every year."

"Take a guess mom." Rebekah said looking excited.

"Hm? Are you going as Princesses?" she asked.

"Nope." Rebekah said with a slight frown.

"Oh can I try?" William asked.

"Sure go for it dad." Rebekah said.

"Your going as mermaids this year." He said.

"Eh wrong again." Rebekah said now really starting to lose hope for her folks.

"Just tell them already." Jordan said.

"Oh fine, the three of us are going as Greek Goddesses. And don't ask which one's we are just dressed up to look like the theme okay." Rebekah mentioned to her mom and dad.

"Ah that sound's like a good theme." Stephanie said as she sipped on her drink.

"It is right girls." Rebekah asked her friends who had been eating there food the whole time.

"Yup." Sakura said in between bites.

Rin just gave a thumbs up since she was so hungry.


************************************************************************************************************


After lunch Jordan headed up to his room because he had homework to work on. Stephanie went to go work in her office while William headed off to do some gardening now that the sun had finally come out. Rin and Sakura were getting ready to leave with there new costumes but before they headed out they chatted a bit more with Rebekah.

"It's a relieve that all our folks gave the okay to go to the party next weekend huh." Rebekah said taking a sigh of relieve.

"True but I think its partly because its a local naborhood gathering just a mile from your house and its a big hit it seems the past few years too." Sakura said.

"Yeah now that you mention it, I think my dad saw something about that in the paper how they have local neighborhood parties that bring the communities together for parties on curtain holidays during the year. Jim's neighborhood is the Halloween one it seems right off of 4th street." Rin said with a smile.

"That's pretty cool." Sakura said.

"Oh I can't wait!" Said Rebekah filled with excitement in her voice.

"Well we are glad he invited you and us too. And we are even more glad he's had a change of heart." Sakura pointed out.

Rin began to laugh "Heheh"

Both Rebekah and Sakura looked at Rin and saw she kind of looked scary right now. And Rebekah then remembered Jim mentioning that she was scary at one point. Perhaps this is what he meant. Maybe? But either way Rin was normally a very sweet and kindhearted person overall. But if it came down to messing with those she cared for the most. Rebekah suspected Rin had a different way of showing no mercy to those who treated her loved ones kindly. Rebekah shivered at the thought for she saw it once too way back in Jr. High school. But that was so long ago and everything was fine now.

"Aw it looks like it's time for us to go." Rin said snapping Rebekah out of her thoughts as she gave her friend a hug goodbye. "Bye bye Bekah-chan. See you Monday."

"That's right see you Monday Bekah-chan." Sakura said coming in for the group hug. As the three friends gave each other a big group hug. Or more like a glompying kind of smoosh!

"Alright you guys take care." She said waving them off as they headed out the door. Rebekah couldn't wait for next weekend well and the next few tutoring sessions before that too. Because this would be the well second time seeing Jim outside of school. "Yay!" She said to herself as she ran up to her room happily.
