"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" Jess screamed at Levi, "WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME, DIDN'T I LOVE YOU ENOUGH!" She sobbed. "I did everything for you, I dyed my hair, I wore coloured contacts every day, I gave you thousands in cash alone. I loved you, and you went back to her."

"It's no big deal, stop overreacting. You don't need to be this shitty just because you're on your period. Get over it, I never loved you, I made you change to be like her. I only used you for your money, you were so gullible. I can't believe you really thought I loved you." Levi told her.

He turned on his heel and walked out the door, walking towards her car.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Rachel" Jess sobbed over the phone, "He- He left me for her. Like you said he would. Can you come over, I just, I really need someone to talk to, please."

"Of course Jess, I'll be there in ten minutes" Rachel hung up the phone, anger seething through her very soul. She was going to find that traitorous bitch Levi and his stupid ass girlfriend and skin them alive. But first, she had Jess to tend to.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rachel pulled up in the parking lot in front of the apartment building. Opening her car door and walking towards the apartment's glass doors. She pushed them open looking over at the receptionist who gave her a grim look before putting the keys to Jess's apartment on the counter.

Rachel grabbed them as she walked towards the stairs, heading up to Jess's apartment. She got to the door, unlocking it and walking inside. She sighed as she looked around, it was a mess.

"Jess, you in here?" She called out, picking up some rubbish off of the floor. She saw something on the floor, under the table. She walked over to it, picking it up, it was a light blue sweater. It was Heather's. It was hers.

"Over here" She heard Jess say softly. Rachel walked over to Jess's bedroom, where the noise had come from, dropping the sweater in the process. She slowly opened the old door, seeing Jess curled up under the duvet with a tub of cookies and cream ice cream in hand. There were dried tear tracks running down her face and a dampness on her clothes from where they had landed.

Rachel walked over to the side of Jess's bed, lifting up the covers and sliding in. She took the open tub of ice cream from Jess's shaking hands and put it on the bedside table before wrapping her arms around Jess's trembling figure.

The moment Jess felt Rachel's arms around her she burst into tears again."He brought her here, he cheated on me in my apartment. She wasn't wearing anything when I got home. She left her sweater behind." Jess was sobbing, more tears.

Rachel felt something stir inside of her, she slowly soothed Jess to sleep before climbing out of the bed. She left the room as quietly as she could, before opening up her bag. She pulled her laptop out, opening up the cameras that she had hidden inside Jess's house.

She watched as he forced her to go out and get them food, then he invited that bitch Heather over. She watched as the love of her life had her heart broken when she walked in and saw him on top of her. She heard every word that he said, she heard how he told her to stop overreacting. She watched as Jess screamed and cried for an hour after he left before calling Rachel.

She was going to kill him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She watched the terror in his face as she dragged the blade down his chest. She had to get this over and done with before Jess woke up, she would hate for her love to think that she left her.

She took the knife and wedged it into him, just underneath his skin, she carefully carved the skin off of his body, making sure that not an inch was left on his pathetic sad body. She savoured every second of his pain, melting into the noise of his screams.

She then got up, pulling a gun out of the holster on her thigh. She had counted every single time that Jess had said that she loved him, and for every single time those words came out of her mouth, she would shoot him.

One thousand, four hundred and twenty-nine times, one thousand, four hundred and twenty-nine bullet holes in his skinless body.

She checked the time, Jess would be up soon, she should hurry back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rachel slid back into the bed, wrapping her arms around Jess's waist. She always savoured these moments, when she could hold Jess in her arms and love every inch of her in silence. She wished she could be loud about it, scream and shout to the whole world about how much she loved Jess, about how many times she'd thought about kidnapping her and keeping her away from all of the world's dangers.

She wouldn't though, but oh how she wishes she could.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rachel yawned, her eyes blurry as she squinted, only to find herself trapped in Jess's embrace. She felt her face heat as she saw how close the love of her life was.

Rachel was surprised that she had woken up before Jess, normally Jess was the only thing that could wake Rachel up, it was a funny story.

One time, Rachel and her sister, Riley, were staying over at Riley's boyfriend's house for the night. Everyone had woken up, except Rachel, they were trying to wake her up but they couldn't. They tried everything, from slapping her to banging pots together right next to her ear, but nothing worked.

Riley called Jess when they realised that she wasn't waking up, she asked her to come over and wake her "girlfriend" up. Jess drove over to Mattheo's house and was greeted at the door by his sister, Ashley.

Jess walked in and was led to the bed that Rachel was sleeping on. Mattheo had wished her luck because they'd apparently tried everything, but Jess honestly didn't believe them. She sat down on the edge of Rachel's bed, shaking Rachel slightly. Everyone in the room seemed very shocked when Rachel immediately woke up, questioning Jess as to why she was there.

Jess had smiled and brushed it off like it didn't matter, telling Rachel that they were going to go get some coffee. Everyone in the room seemed to realise at the moment what was going on, the lovesick look in Rachel's eyes, and the way that Rachel had immediately woken up. They all realised that Rachel was in love, but Jess would forever stay oblivious.
