The End Of My World

Chapter 18

   How could a night, that was so perfect, go so wrong. I still haven't gotten up. I've been here for three days, just watching the stained floor. Her bed was already filled by another person, and that made me realize that no one cared. I wonder if they told her Brother, I wonder if he regretted everything he'd done, I hope so. He deserved to live with this. No one else but him. But it felt like I was the only one dealing with it. 

   I thought of all the ways I would kill the girl that killed Rosetta. But I still couldn't move. Screwdriver came in the room and sat next to me on my bed.

   Screwdriver: She really liked you, y'know.

   Caroline: I know.

   Screwdriver: Are you gonna do something about it?

   Caroline: I want to, but I can't. I can't move.

   Screwdriver: If she were here, she'd want you to kill them all.

   Caroline: I know.

   Screwdriver: So get off your scrawny ass, and avenge her!

   Screwdriver was right. I knew what I had to do. I had to move. So I did. I jumped off my bed and grabbed my toothbrush shank and made my way down stairs. Riley, the girl that killed Rosetta, and a few others were sitting together at a table. I started walking toward them. Running toward them. I grabbed Rosetta's killer and threw her on the floor, then I started stabbing. I couldn't stop stabbing. Stabbing was all that I could do. I could feel someone behind me stabbing me. I didn't even know who it was. But this was all I could focus on, stabbing her murderer. I could feel the world begin to get slower. I got slower. Then I stopped. I couldn't feel anything. I was falling, I was dying. 

   Why was I dying? Why? Why did all of this happen? What was I thinking? But the truth was, I was thinking about Rosetta. I killed her killer, and someone killed me. Is that what she really would've wanted though? Maybe it was something different that she desired for me. Why didn't I move when she was getting stabbed. Why?
