Numbness

chapter 2

Rachel's POV; 5 years later

TW: STABBING AND KNIVES IN THE CHAPTER, proceed with caution

A lot of shit has gone on in Chloe's life, Max leaves, her dad dies, she starts smoking, Zach is still bullying her, she cut her hair shorter, her style changed a lot. Basically she became hot. I never thought I would be falling for Chloe Price. But you cant choose who you love I guess.
I come into the school with Dana another friend I made.
"Girl you have to see what Zachary did for Juliet" Dana says showing me a picture of a boquet of roses
"Zachary? The same Zachary that bullies Chloe?" I ask
"oh you mean that punk chick? Yea I guess." Dana shrugs "oh speaking of them look over there" Dana grabs my head and points it to Chloe. Looking beautiful as ever, then I see what she was talking about Zach walking towards her smirking
shit

"Oh look its punk Chloe, how's your dad doing..oh wait" Zach says laughing
"bad idea" Steph says looking at Chloe
"Oh please, I just wish he would get the hint, kinda like Eliott" Chloe says getting up and starting towards him. He actually looks scared. I giggle at that. I grab Dana's hand ad we go closer
"you know Eliott, the same Eliott in the hospital...again" Chloe says mad "Do you want to end up like him Bitchary?"
"you cant do anything freak" Zach says still backing up. Chloe laughs at this. that was insanely hot 
"then why are you backing away?" Chloe says smiling. Zach straightens up and throws a punch at Chloe, hitting her directly in the jaw.
"fuck, that was your last mistake Zachary" Chloe says holding her jaw. Letting go of her jaw and punching him square between the eyes. Zachary grabs his temple falling back
"aww one hit and you're on the ground..sad" Chloe says smirking. She turns around and Zachary grabs her by the hand and turns her around.
"suprise BITCH" Zach says pulling out a knife from his jacket
"woah, what are you doing with that?" Chloe says looking scared.
I watch in horror
"Im so SICK of you, no one would even miss your punk ass would they?" Zachary says before stabbing her in the stomach multiple times until she dropped to the ground

He finishes with one last slash across the eye. He then wipes his blood stained knife on Chloe as he walks away. Me, Steph, and Mikey run over to Chloe's unconscious body.
"CHLOE WAKE UP" I yell shaking her body. I start to sob
"SOMEONE CALL 911!" Mikey shouts. Still shaking her. Steph gets up and takes out her phone, wallet, cigerettes, and keys from her pocket so they dont get stained
"Rachel?" I hear someone murmur
"yes Chloe its me" I say looking down at Chloes eyes, see them open a little as the paramedics come. "can we please come?" I ask the paramedics
"fine but be fast!" She says. The drive to the Hospital was the longest 5 minutes of her life. They had to wait in the waiting room for at least 4 hours
"I feel like this is my fault" Steph says pacing back and forth
"thats ridiculous, its Zachs" Mikey says. She stops pacing
"that son of a bitch, ill kill him" Steph says
"if he didnt already kill Chloe" I say looking down. Steph looked at me shocked
"dont say that Rache, she's not dead she cant be, not yet" Steph says sadly. We see a doctor come out. We all rush up to him
"im so sorry, we lost her" The doctor says sadly. I break down crying. Steph hugs me while crying. Mikey runs over to us
"WOAH WOAH, im kidding, Chloe's awake she told me to say that" The doctor says. I look up, angry at Chloe but happy shes alive
I get up "can we see her" The doctor nods
"room 312" We all get up and rush over to the 300 hallway. When we see Zachary go into her room. we all make eye contact before sprinting over. we bust down the door and Steph pins him to a wall
"Calm down, I was coming in to say sorry" He says with his hands up
"I dont care, get out" Mikey says. He gets our grunting
"CHLOE" we all yell in unison before rushing over to her. We pratically jump on her
"Chill guys Im still hurt" Chloe says with that Dorky smile I love so much
"the doctor says im going to have a sick scar across my eye" Chloe says pointing to her eye
"hot" I say. Every head turns to me shit did I say that outloud
"what did you just say?" Chloe says sitting up
"Rachel has a cru-ush" Mikey says in a sing-songy voice. I shoot him a death glare
"Is this true Rachel?" Chloe asks sitting up. I nod my head yes
"oh" She looks away
great Rachel you've reuined your relationahip with Chloe, I knew she wasnt into girls. We spent the rest of the night and eating, man I love my friends
