JANE
Rachel had already swallowed her ego to beg Mr. Cannon, but now he was making jest of her and also trying to destroy every bit of the remains of her ego. I felt bad for Rachel. After tonight, she might never be bold enough to talk to her father again.
I turned to look at her. Though I wanted her to help me by pleading again to Mr. Cannon, a part of me didn't want her to. That part of me wanted her to refute him and tell him to shove his command up his ass.
Rachel seemed to be going for the first option as she lowered her head, little droplets of tears trickling down her cheeks. Doing this was taking a toll on her, but she didn't seem to care as she gritted her teeth and said, "Please, I'm really begging you, Dad. Jane has nowhere else to go. Please let her stay."
