Mi Amor

Chapter 17

I yelled at the top of my voice. I just couldn't believe, Genevieve was gone now. And all i did was sit in the car with no hope. I scattered everything i wanted, and cried my eyes out. I ran to my room, jumped on the bed and realized, the world was over.

I thought it was a prank, but...our friendship was really over. I got a phonecall from Barbara. My heart didn't wanna pick up but i wiped my tears and answered the call. I was so shocked it was a video call.

"Hi BFF" She laughed.

"Hi"

"What the hell? Are you crying?" She asked.

"No, something entered my eyes." I lied.

"We have known each other for long, and i know you better, you are lying. Now tell me, what happened?"

"Okay...so..th...this evening Genevieve..sh...she was kidnapped...and killed..." I cried.

'Wow! That's great news, Skyler!" She yelled.

"WHAT THE HECK? GREAT NEWS?? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU BARBARA? WHY ARE YOU SO JEALOUS SINCE THIS GIRL CAME INTO MY LIFE? IF YOU THINK I LOVE YOU AFTER WHAT YOU SAID THEN I HATE YOU BARBARA! NO ONE IS EVER GONNA LOVE YOU! YOUR ATTITUDE, GENEVIEVE'S DEATH, EVERYTHING'S GONNA MAKE ME KILL MYSELF! NEVER CONTACT ME AGAIN, BARBARA. THIS IS THE END OF OUR FRIENDSHIP! YOU SUCK!" I yelled. I saw her eyes well up but i didn't care. I hung up and continued crying. 

I didn't sleep all night. I just cried, and cried. Remembering all the good times we spent together. Early 7 in the morning, someone knocked at my door. I went to the door and opened it. It was Theo.

"Why are you here?"

"Didn't you hear the news? Genevieve's morte!" He said and showed me pictures and different posts of Genevieve Petit, the rising model's death.

"I don't wanna talk about this" I sat on my sofa and he noticed how messy my hair was and how swollen my face was.

"Skyler, am sorry. I know you guys must have been best of friends and death separated you guys. Please, just be strong. Be strong for me, Sky" I looked at him, then i looked away as hot tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Sky, i understand what's going on with you. I understand what happened and even i can't bring Genevieve back."

"I lost two friends at once" I mumbled.

"Sky, be strong." He told me. Soon, the tears stopped. I had to adapt to the fact, i would be living without Genevieve and Barbara. I had to adapt to that fact, Genevieve was gone. I kept that straight face, that traumatized look. Theo was looking at me concerned.

"Theo. Am fine. Can you please leave now" I told him and closed my eyes. There was this breeze that came upon me at that moment, and i began crying again. Not tears about Genevieve, tears of yearning. Yearning for his comfort. Yearning to be in his arms. I felt him coming closer, as i closed my eyes tighter. Then he pecked me on the cheek. Okay...this wasn't real..

"Um...Theo, what was that for?" He was silent. I noticed he was blushing.

Theo Janvier, blushing??? I haven't heard it in a million fairy tales!

"Leave! Am not in a very good mood!" I yelled and he stood up, he looked at me, then left shutting the door.

I kept on imagining, that one second was the best moment of my whole life! Okay, well i think i will have more moments...I burst into very loud tears, and am 100% sure the neighbors must have heard.

The next day, i sadly wore my uniform and my phone was buzzing.

ACCEPT MY CONDOLENCES 

AM VERY SORRY SKYLER ARTHUR

MRS PETIT, SORRY FOR THE LOSS

HER BODY WAS FOUND AND TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL THIS MORNING..

I saw that and threw my bag on the bed running to the hospital. Paparazzi was everywhere and asking questions in French.

SUIS DESOLE

COMMENT EST-ELLE MORTE?

I couldn't answer any, and rushed to the hospital. I saw the receptionist, and panted, trying to catch my breath.

"Excuse me receptionist, where is miss Genevieve Petit? She was rushed to the hospital this morning." I asked, waiting for a reply.

"She's in the ward." The receptionist pointed, and i rushed to the ward. I saw Akari and Himari standing there. Genevieve's body was filled with bruises, and blood was escaping from her head. The bed was soaked with her blood.

"She's in a critical condition." The doctors said. I clasped my hands, on seeing her face. It was damaged and filled with blood. I cried loudly, as Himari pulled me away from her.

"Death time, 10:34pm." He said, as the electrocardiogram turned a flat line. Akari and Himari screamed loud before bursting into tears!

"GENEVIEVE!" The doctor checked her heartbeat, and sighed,

"Elle est morte." Akari and Himari gasped.

"What does she mean?" I asked, breathless.

"GENEVIEVE'S DEAD! SHE'S REALLY DEAD THIS TIME!" I screamed, then slumped.

"SKYLER!" I woke up, and it was really dark. The door pushed open, and i found out, i was in the locker. News about Genevieve's death was everywhere, and i couldn't help but cry silently. Akari and Himari were nowhere to be found.

I saw Theo and Eloise by the locker and i walked fast, after the peck incident, i didn't wanna get into any trouble in that witch's hands. Even if she killed Genevieve, then fine. She will be judged. Theo said something into her ears, and left. I heard someone charging towards me. Then, Akari jumped towards Eloise and pulled her to the ground. She fell flat on her stomach.
