I was lying on the ground, feeling the life drift out of me. Time seemed to fly by so fast, I felt like I was either thinking at an incredible speed or time had pretty much stopped. The first thing that came to my head was

"My sister is INSANE!!!"

I slightly laughed at the thought. I've lived with her all my life, I always thought she was quick to lose her temper and to be jealous but I never thought she was actually insane enough to stab her own sister! I began to relive my life step by step.

I remembered when I first came into primary school, how I tried to talk to people but I was just ignored 'cause I was seen as weird. After a while, they started to bully me, leaving me almost a shell of my former self. The only thing I wanted to do was study, the only thing I could do was study, which was how I got good grades.

At the last day at school, I remember really wanting to leave quietly, hoping nobody would say anything nasty to be because I just couldn't take it anymore. I went to school and everyone ignored me and just talked to each other how they were planning to have sleepovers and how they would go out shopping. It made me sorta happy, I felt like I could leave with a happy memory. But that wasn't the last thing I wanted to do.

There was a guy named Daniel Bryan. He always stood up for me in class and k just wanted to thank him. I ended blurting out that I loved him. He said that he didn't like ugly girls and he walked off. During the summer I found out that he asked Vanessa out and I died inside. I didn't want to talk to any guy again, and I didn't until...............

Until I met them. I wanted to make friends here but I don't think I would have without them. Even Kelly and cherry would have been probably impossible to talk to because of them. I sorta feel like the last day in my last school repeated itself on my first day. I thought I had made a friend and he insults me right to my face. And I become their " possession ".

I guess I wasn't any good at making friends but I wished that at least I could have at least stood up for myself and that I had enjoyed life as much as I could. I turned my head to see Anastasia kissing David on his cheek. He had his arm around her. I could literally feel the immense anger emanating from my soul.

"I can stand up for myself" I thought to myself, getting ready to roar.

"I gotta tell this bitch one more thing before I die!!"

I curled up. It had felt like I had dome one million crunches. It was incredibly sore but I just had to tell this bitch what was on my mind. She looked terrified when she saw me stand up, but on the other hand, David smiled and looked so happy. He took his hand off of her.

"W-w-what" Anastasia stuttered dumbfounded.

"Didn't expect to see me up did you?" I whispered as I had not enough to energy to breath properly or to speak any louder. "Well if you think a few stab wounds are gonna kill me then you're wrong".

Her eyes widened and she dashed off the knife on the table but David slapped her and twisted her wrist.

"Go ahead, try stab me. See if I die. Each time I'll just get back up and fight because I'll never let you kill me, never!! I'll give you a slow but painful life with you living in complete physical, mental and emotional anguish until you can't take it anymore. Day by day I'll make your life a living hell, until I think I'll let you free of the burden of your charcoal soul!!"

She looked terrified and started to scramble but she couldn't move because of David.

"What do you think your doing?!" She shouted with tears coming from her eyes.

"I'm doing what should be done to all pests" he announced with hatred and malice in his voice" Extermination".

He threw her to the ground and she began to cry. I fell. David ran over to me and caught me just before I hit the ground and kissed me.

"Zara, Zara!" He shouted to me in fear. I was very dizzy and was in a daze so I didn't reply but I opened my eyes and looked around. Anastasia stared at us and stopped wailing but her tears were still flowing.

"I lost, didn't I?" She said in a sad but reflecting voice. "I won the battle but I lost the war".

I stared at her with piercing eyes.

"You didn't lose, I was never playing with you to begin with".

Her tears were just falling off her eyes, but I didn't care. I didn't feel like I could go on anymore so I was calmly closing my eyes when the other guys crashed in through the door. My eyes opened wide.

" Is Zara ok" Jake cried "Is she alive".

"She's alive but far from ok" David replied.

"It's gonna be fine Zara, you passed. I'm so happy!" Robert said consolidated.

"We got one of your ambulances outside, we just need to bring her to the door.

David picked me up and was walking out the door

"Zara?"

"Huh" I replied dazed and confused.

"Saranghe"

"What?"

"Aishiteruyo"

"I cant understand other languages right now, I'm sorry".

"Saranghe!! Aishiteruyo!!"

By that time we got to the ambulance and the doctor on board took me from there. The moment I got in I passed out. When I woke up, the first thing I remembered was what David was saying to me.

"I love you?! " I shouted.

By the way "saranghe" means "I love you" in Korean and "aishiteruyo" is romanji for "I love you" (which is Japanese). Hope you liked this chapter💗💖💜💟💓❤️👲🏿👱🏿👫👰🏻
