Five Foes, A Murder & Lies

Happy Death Day

Margo's POV:

What Actually Happened:

It was dark, and i was approaching the corner of my street, where there was a street light above me. Just a few blocks away, from my place. I remember carrying books, and my backpack was hanging off my shoulder. Thunder rumbled in the near distance, as the hairs on my back stood up, fear trickling down my spine. I turned slowly, watching Cleo emerge out of the shadows as Emelie and Blair followed behind her. But the way Cleo looked at me, with a glare even more terrifying than i had ever seen.

 "What are you guys doing?" i asked, loud enough so they could hear me, as they walked closer to me. 

"This must have been your plan all along, you were just trying to get close enough to me so you could steal Toby!" she hollered, as i flinched, but was still confused. "I don't think i know what you're talking about" i said, as Cleo was just a few inches from me, i wanted to take a step back but i also didn't want her to know i was nervous at the moment. "Aw.. you don't? well let me give you hint" Cleo said, as she snatched one of the books i was holding out of my hand and smacked me across the face with it. The grass was hard against my face, as i fell backwards hitting the ground. The rest of the books slipping out of my grasp, as my backpack fell next to me. 

I was stunned, "i can't believe you had the audacity to not only get with Toby, but hook up with him at MY own birthday party! After everything, we've been through!" Cleo hollered, as she punched me. "Cleo, listen to me! i didn't-" i tried, but she punched me again. I was holding up my arms trying to shield my face, but she climbed on top of me. "Cleo, maybe we shouldn't do this.." Emelie said, as Cleo looked at her. "This was your idea.. and besides, are you honestly going to let her just get away with taking that picture of you and Blair and then lying to you about it? you know she took them Emelie" Cleo said, as she gripped my wrists. 

I was fighting and kicking, even though a part of me still didn't want to hurt Cleo. I knew i needed to defend myself, but Emelie grew angry, and kicked me in the face, hard. I screamed in pain, i was able to shove Cleo off of me. And as she fell back, "Blair! hold her down!" Cleo screamed, as i crawled on top of the grass, trying to get away from them. "No please.. let me explain.. just let me explain..." i croaked. I turned to face them, as i rested on top of my elbows. 

"I never hooked up with Toby!" i screamed, "liar!" Cleo said, as she punched me once more. She then grabbed my shirt, as i raised my hand, but she shoved me, punching me again. There was a sharp pain and a loud cracking nose, and i just knew my nose was broken. Blood pooled from my nostrils and down my mouth, as i could taste the bitter texture. "Cleo! you just broke my nose!" i screamed, as she laughed. "Well you broke a hell of a lot more for me, so i'd say, we're still not even!" Cleo yelled, as i shook my head, backing away from her. 

I didn't want to hurt her like she's hurting me, i didn't believe in violence. But how in the world was i going to defend myself, if she wasn't going to listen to me. And despite Cleo not knowing the truth or even believing me for saying so, i still looked at her as if she was my best friend. I couldn't hurt her more with fighting back. Blair held my wrists, practically bruising them. Cleo then climbed back on top of me, "i trusted you! and you betrayed me! you stabbed me in the back!" Cleo yelled, as Emelie was cheering her on. 

"Make her pay for what she did! kick her ass Cleo! kill the bitch! take her down!" she said, as i was enduring every single punch Cleo threw my way. My vision was going blurry with the blood seeping over my face, my body was aching with pain. And my jaw felt dislocated. I felt like i was going to lose consciousness. "Cleo! what the hell!" Toby screamed, grabbing Cleo by the waist and hoisting her off of me. Griffin pushed Emelie away from me, as he pried Blair off of me. "Stay out of this Toby!" Cleo yelled, "you're fighting about me Cleo, i'm already apart of this!" he said.
