Chapter74

Rita noticed Allen's reaction. She seemed like she was not bothered by the fact that he came back but by the fact that he had come to see her. Rita sighed. She could understand what Allen was thinking. He coming back has nothing to do with her as long as she stays away from him and they don't meet. But Rita knew that if even Allen doesn't want to see him again, it doesn't mean that Ryan wants that too. He will definitely find a way to meet her again. "Yes Allen. I was so shocked to see him. He told me not to tell you anything but I couldn't keep it to myself" Rita said.
She stopped talking for a few seconds. Everywhere was silent. She needed some time to gather her thoughts. This was the biggest part. The fact that Ryan already knew everything. About how she was pretending to be some woman called Joanna Anderson. If Ryan is still the same person that he was five years ago, he won't even think twice before he exposed this. She had to be careful, so they won't be getting in trouble. "He really did come to see me and he asked me not to tell you anything. That's not even the problem here. He already knows. He knows everything. He knows that you are pretending to be Joanna Anderson!" Rita said. Her voice had a note of urgency.
Now Allen was really worried. In fact she was scared! She was worried about the fact that Ryan came to see Rita but at least she thought that she could still deal with him. But now...now that he knows that she is pretending to be someone else, she suddenly did not have any idea on what she was supposed to do to save the situation. She felt like she was stuck. What is she supposed to do? Sonia already knows her secret....even if she won't say anything about it ..what is she going to do about Ryan? Why did he have to come back? "What??! Rita is this true? Does he already know about it? How is it even possible?" Allen asked.
Rita too was confused. She did not know how he managed to find out about it. But how he found out wasn't her problem now. Her problem was that he knows. And that crazy bastard Ryan won't let it slide like that. He will definitely try to cause some kind of problem for Allen now that he knows about it! He is that petty! "I really don't know Allen. I don't know how he managed to know about all of this. But how he got to know isn't even important right now. What is important is what he will do!. We have to think of something" Rita said. She was really scared for her friend. She didn't want her to get in trouble.
Allen too knew that she should do something. But she did not know what she was supposed to do. How is she going to take care of this situation? What will happen to her now? Should she tell Paul and Lena that there is some crazy physopath bastard who knows about this? But she did not want to disappoint the both of them? What was the other option for her? Meeting Ryan and begging him not to do anything rash? Will that even work? When has he ever listened to the voice of reason? Allen was really frustrated now. She really regretted meeting him. If only she had not met him!
Because of Ryan, a lot of things went wrong in her life. Her grandmother got sick. She had to give up her dream. She had been living really terribly for the part five years. Now that she finally got a chance...now that she got an opportunity to get her life back on track, he is suddenly back and he knows about it all. What is she supposed to do now? What is Ryan really? Has he been sent to torture her all through her life? "I really don't know what I'm supposed to do now Rita. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I feel so scared. What will Ryan do? What nonsense crazy thing is he going to do this time?" Allen asked Rita.
Rita too did not have an answer for that. There was no one who had ever been able to predict what he will be able to do. But she felt bad seeing her friend crying like that. So she decided to comfort her. As long as they thought of something together, Rita was sure that they would be able to think of a way to deal with that Ryan. "Don't be sad Allen. Don't cry. I know that you feel helpless right now but I'm sure that we will be able to think of something very soon. We will let him do anything to harm us the way that he did five years ago" Rita said. She was comforting Allen with those words but she did know what she was supposed to do about this. .
Allen held back the tears that were threatening to fall. She did not want to be weak so soon. She had not even met Ryan yet. If she started to cry and be weak now, when will she get the strength to be able to deal with him in the future? She won't be able to do that then. So even though she was scared, she held it all back. "I know, I can't be weak right now Rita. I have to hold on for the sake of my grandmother. If anything happens to her then I don't really know what I'll do then. Don't worry, I won't be weak. I'll hold on for my grandmother's sake" Allen said. She really meant it this time. She won't be as weak as before.
