The unknown

Chapter 24

POV Chloe

I'm in my room just lying on my bed. I had no idea what to do or say. I know I liked it but I got confused, every little emotion was sucked out of me.

And then he said those words that made me feel so guilty for walking away. I don't even know what I think of him. like yes, he's attractive but I didn't have the spark. And I messed around too much with my spark.

There is so much happening right now I just don't think it's the right time to look for love. This was such a stupid move. I groan and bury myself in the pillow next to me.

I need my best friend

I need the person I met when we were 4

I need Melanie

but not this one, I want mine back. The one that would tell me if I'll do it she'll do it. The one who laughs her ass off when I say something unfunny around people. I need the girl back who helps me get out of these stupid moments, not the one who doesn't show a single mention in her muscles.

I want her back so damn bad.

I stand up from the bed and just look around for Mel in the house. It got empty so fast and we thought this would be our amazing house.

"Blade!" I yell

no answer,

I go to his room and open the door. When I step in I smell his favorite perfume.

I smile and say "Guess someone got a date" I touch the bare places and leave again. I close Gaia her door as well and stand still in the hallway hoping for a sound.

Then suddenly I hear a crack in the kitchen.

running downstairs and seeing Melanie.

My smile brights up and I run up to her to hug her. I got this weird feeling. this energy when I hugged her. It's not something I knew before.

She doesn't hug me back and I adjust myself.

and ask slowly "I'm sorry I don't want this to be us can we please be us again?"

Melanie looks me dead in the eyes with no emotion "No, I don't want someone this pathetic in my ways"

I scoff softly hoping she is making a joke but she isn't

I give her a disbelieved look and say "You're joking right?"

My best friend doesn't even give me time to reply, she just opens her stupid book. I am getting frustrated so I come closer and I shut that damn book

"Can't you just give me a little time? seriously all you do since this idiotic book spammed out of nowhere is be busy with it. like what are you doing that's so a big secret u can't even tell me!"

she opens her mouth and I interrupt her

"No, I don't wanna hear ur cold bullshit I know goddamn well that this isn't you. I don't wanna lose you, what has gotten into you Melanie" I tell hysterical my hand moving every place they can not breaking eye contact. " We used to do everything together and now you're hiding god knows what. This shitty life has changed you, yes you are a witch and I'm proud of you but don't loose ur fucking yourself, like ur mother tol-"

"Don't bring my mom in this!" she threatens

I continue "Like your fucking mother told you, don't lose urself! god look at you!"

I run a hand in my hair stay for a while and take a steady breath before saying "Are you using black magic?"

She grabs a knife and points it at my throat.
