Murder in the Dark

juilettes pov

i wake up to someone yelling outside, but i hear matts name for some reason. i run outside to see matt and lilith standing outside for some reason? but i hadnt been invited which made me think something was up. i walk over and separate them before things get worse. but for some reason Lilith looks mad..at me?

"Okay first, you have no right to push me away from my boyfriend." she says looking really angry at me for some reason. still leaving me confused as fuck, she continues,"And second you need to keep your hands off me before things get messy, which they don't need to but if you wanna test it.." im fuming after the last words leave her mouth. i immediately knew she would never say that if matt wasnt there and that made me even more mad.

she tries scaring me with her "Im GoNnA fUcKiNg KiLl YoU" look, thats what she named it, i step away with my hands up, turn around, and walk away. and i cant help but think "who the fuck does she think she is?" while im stepping back in my house.

i call matt that night and talk to him about everything we feel. but for some reason i feel some weird way everytime he speaks, my face gets warm, my stomach gets a weird feeling, and i cant not smile.

"fuck.." i whisper under my breath in a silent moment. he notices and asks, "what do you mean 'fuck'?" he pauses but continues, "is there something wrong?" i feel like i just have to tell him because i trust him the most right now. so i do, "matt i... i..love you and  i just need to tell you because.." he cuts me off. "i love you too." he finishes so briefly that i almost think its a joke, but its not. my ex best friends boyfriend like..no no.. LOVES me. i almost feel bad but i for some reason dont.

when i get to the bus stop the next day me and lilith exchange 3 simple words, but i feel like i need to say more. "i hate you so much for what happened. and for you acting so tough. that fucking hurt." i say in the rudest tone i can without sounding like a complete bitch. she doesn't respond just stays turned away so i say more, "lilith you were my best friend. but after the way i cried last night. i dont think i can accept u as my best friend anymore." thats all i want to say because i feel its all i need to say to feel satisfied.

but just as im about to calm down she starts crying like a little fucking baby. i cant stand her any more. "jules..please.." she says, on her knees like i asked her to do that. "i cant lose you. you dont understand.." she sounds like a friendless child, that i dont want to deal with. "get up and go inside. compose yourself and go to school when youre not acting like a child." i say pointing to her front door. i know this is when im supposed to be like "oh its okay blah blah blah" but i dont even care. shes been getting on my nerves recently and i cant handle her anymore.

she stumbles to her feet and runs inside while holding her chest like her heart was gonna fall out right in front of us. just after she gets inside matt gets to the bus stop, the part of this morning ive been waiting for! "HEY MATTTT!" i yell waving. "HEY JULESSS!" he yells waving back at me. i know i may seem like a bitch for all of this but trust me, this isnt the worst i can be.

when were on the bus matt seems to be stressed. "hey matt, you seem a little stressed whats up?" i say putting my hand on his arm in attempt to calm him down. "well jules i really like you but im dating lilith, so i dont know what to do." he says putting his hand on mine. we stare into eachothers eyes for a minute, i almost cant stop, but then he spoke again. "i might just break up with her." i do an excitement squeal, "OO YAYY!" i say holding his hand. he smiles at me, his face a little red. "ill do it after school." he says, i see him send a good morning text back.

we make it all the way through the school day and he meets me at my locker. "hey beautiful." hey says reaching his hand out to help me up because i have a locker below someone else's. "hey good-looking!" i say taking his hand. we walk to the bus and find a seat. he pulls out his phone and goes to her contact. "what should i say?" he says looking at me like i should know. i just take his phone and type, "hey lilith, i think we should break up. its been nice these last couple months but i just dont feel like we click like we used too anymore." i send it for him and give him his phone back. he reads it, "thats perfect, just like you." he says staring into my eyes.

(IM SORRY FOR THAT PART 😭)

i just shrug and say a little "thanks" and move on with my day. we make it home and finally say goodbye. i go inside and see through my window lilith crying to her mom. "stupid hoe.." i say closing my blinds.
