Crazy love (Lexdine & Jevon)

Chapter nine

I stand up quickly and run into the hallway.

"You can't escape me, Lexy! I'm in your mind."

"Shut up." I snap, pushing awkwardly passed a nurse.

"No, this is just the beginning."

"Leave.me.alone!!" I yell, placing my hands over my ears to block her out.

My ears start to ring as I fall to the floor. My vision gets blurry and dotty, and it hurts to keep my eyes open, I feel sick and tired and I just need to close my eyes, to escape the world, to escape my horrible reality, to escape these horrible memories, to escape her.

Everything goes black once I close my eyes, and I feel better as I lose contact with the world.

Suddenly, I'm being shaken awake, and I'm on a hospital bed with Ms Fairchild standing over me.

"Lexy, sweetie, the police are here to question you... Are you alright?" She asks.

I nod, not really feeling in the mood to talk.

Ms Fairchild walks out, and instead of an officer coming in, it's Devon.

He walks up to me hesitantly.

"Lexy, what's going on?'' he asks, lowering into a chair.

"Nothing..'' I lie, fiddling with my fingers.

I want to tell Devon. I know I can trust him. I'm just scared he's going to think I'm crazy..

"Lexy, you know that's not true." He says.

My mind races as I try to think of a good thing to say.

I feel like I'm going to regret this.

"Devon, if I tell you something, do you swear not to tell?" I ask.

He nods and sits up a little more in his seat.

I copy his actions until I'm propped up on my elbow. Leaning my face closer to his to whisper.

"I- ... I have this voice in my head," I tell him.

"Your thoughts?" He asks, unconvinced.

"No.. it's-" I sigh, "not me.."

"Not you? What do you mean?"

"I mean-" I hesitate my next words, "It's Nadine."

He stares at me blankly, and I know he's unsure of what to say.

"What?" He asks, the fear evident in his voice.

I gulped and shook my head.

"Devon, I'm so sorry-'' I cry, letting a few tears fall.

"S-Sorry?" He asks, "What are you sorry for?"

"She told me to do it! I swear."

"Do what, Lexy?''

I can't respond, I just cry into my hands, sniffling like crazy due to my sobs.

"Lexy," his voice is shaky, and I know he's scared, "What did she tell you to do?"

I shake my head as I cry harder, flinching when he holds my shoulder.

"She told me to kill him, and I didn't want to! But I accidentally dropped the pills and- and-" I cut myself off by crying more.

Devon's hand leaves my shoulder quickly, and the chair makes a loud screeching noise as it slides away from the bed.

I move my hands to see Devon, now standing. He looks petrified.

"Devon, I-" I start.

He shakes his head, tears welling in his eyes.

"Devon, I'm so sorry! Please.." I beg, sitting up.

The door opens and an officer stands at the frame, Ms Fairchild beside her.

"Everything okay in here?" The officer asks, looking around the room.

Devon's head turns back and forth between me, Ms F, and the officer.

He quickly runs out of the room, Ms Fairchild calling after him.

The officer turns to me and I sink into the bed, wanting to disappear.
