I rushed through the crowd of people who gathered around the grounds of Riverdale High, seeing what was going on and why there were so many police and ambulances. I pushed through the crowd and was stopped by a cop "Hey I need to get past!" I yelled "It's okay" cane a voice, It was Jaime "He's a friend" The cop hesitated but let me past as Jaime led me towards an ambulance "How did you know?" He asked "Alice called me" I explained, he nodded. I had been at home looking after my dad when I got the call from Alice saying that Hermione had been chased through the school halls by a maniac with a gun, who we presumed was The Angel Of Death. Luckily, she was fine, but it could have turned out worse. My eyes lit up as I approached Hermione sat in the back of an ambulance, Alice next to her, her arm around Hermione. She looked at me and jumped up, flinging her arm around my shoulders "I'm so glad your okay" I said in relief. She pulled away and I kissed her on the forehead "Me too" She took the jacket off that was on her shoulders and handed it to Jaime "Here's your jacket back" my smile faded. I guess I just kind of felt jealous that Jaime was the hero and not me "Thanks, but I should get going, call me if you need anything" I noticed Hermione blush "I will" but she turned to me, "Although I think ill be fine" I smiled. I watched in pleasure as Jaime left, leaving Hermione and I to recover "Where's your mom?" I asked, she sighed "She's on her way, but she'll be a while" I hesitated "You can come back to mine while your waiting" I offered, she nodded "Sounds great" although her face was dull and I could tell she was scared. She was lucky to even be here, she could've been dead, and I wouldn't have been there in her last moments. I wouldn't have gotten to say goodbye. Alice stood up "I should get back home but if either of you need anything, you know where to find me" she said, embracing Hermione. I hugged Hermione again, real tight. Thinking about how The Angel Of Death was still lose in Riverdale. How we were all in danger once again.Hermione sipped her coffee, not even acknowledging that it was scolding hot. It was a few hours later and we were in my kitchen, reflecting on the day "It's gonna be ok" I said, although even I didnt believe it anymore. She shook her head "No" "No its not" she looked up at me "They are still out there Fred! And I'm next, I'm on their list! I got away" "They're not even gonna hesitate to kill me this time" I put my hand on hers bit she pulled away "Your safe now" she laughed "Really? I could've died, and you weren't even there" I stepped back, hurt "I'm sorry I-" "It's fine, Jaime was there anyway, Jaime saved me" my blood started boiling "Yeah he's always frickin there" I muttered "What did you say?" She said, I shook my head, "Nothing" She put her coffee down on the counter "My dare" She said, I turned to her quickly "And my truth" "What are they?" I asked, hoping she would tell me "I already did them" I raised an eyebrow "Oh, when?" She frowned "A few hours ago, when Jaime saved me" my heart started pounding in my chest "My dare was to kiss him, my truth to tell you" I dug my nails into my palms "What?" "You kissed him?" I said, feeling betrayed "Fred I swear to you It meant nothing, I like you!" I shook my head, trying to process everything. I laughed "You can't even say it can you" She scrunched up her face "What do you mean?" "You can't even say that you love me" I stopped "Maybe it's because you don't" She neared me, placing a hand on my shoulder but I shook her off "I do I-" She paused "It was just a dare, the kiss meant nothing" I laughed "Sure, Hermione I'm not stupid" "I see the way you look at him, the way he looks at you, the way you blush when your around him, the tension" tears appeared in her eyes "Your not a sinner" I said "But your definitely not a saint" Her eyes went big, I started walking out if the kitchen, Hermione following me close by. I really didn't want to do this but I knew it had to be done "So why don't you go and be with Jaime then if he's so amazing" I cried, Hermione shook her head "No, I wanna be with you" I opened the door and turned to her "It's me or Jaime, you need to make your choice, but mine, mine is made" "Are you breaking up with me?" My heart stopped for a second, what was I doing? Yet the anger and the words kept pouring out of my mouth "Yeah, I am" Her face filled with anger and pain "Now leave" I urged "Fred-" "LEAVE!" So I watched, I watched the one thing I had slip away from me, out the door. My heart was broken, but it had to be done. I slammed the door, filled with rage and regret. Now I really had anger to take out on Jaime to complete my dare.
