THE JOURNEY OF US

Chapter 15

Days passed by and Josh didn't came to school after he confessed his feelings to me. I already started to miss him.

  I knew he was not a good person but I wanted to talk to him. I went to work but all I could think about was Josh. I couldn't do anything right.

  He was everywhere. In my dreams, in my kitchen, in my working place. I tried to think about something else but it didn't work.

  Finally the results of the class president came back. Josh had resigned from the competition. Chris won the place and became the class president but I wanted to know about Josh.

  Josh tried to become class president but he stopped suddenly. He said that he loves me. Does he really love me? Or is it all a new plan. I don't know what I should do.

   I walked towards the stadium. There was no one on the court as the lectures ended. I saw Max coming towards me. I said, “Hi Max.” She said, “I know that Josh likes you. He tried to cheat on me with you.”
     I said, “What are you talking about? I don't like Josh. It's a lie.” She said, “I saw you two were holding hands.” I said, “It's a misunderstanding.” My phone started to ring.

  I took my phone out when Max took out a knife in her hand. It was Josh. He was calling me. After so many days, but why? I picked it up but Max took my phone and throw it away.

  I said, “What are you doing? Why do you have a knife?” She said, “You stole Josh from me. Now I am stealing you from Josh.”

  Josh was hearing our conversations. He was stunned. He said, “Hello. Is someone there?” Max came towards me. I said, “Please don't do this. I am sure there’s another way.”

   Max didn't listen and stabbed me in the stomach. She pushed me from the stairs at the stadium. I shouted as fast as I could.  Josh was already half-way to school hearing our conversations.

  Max was shocked. She ran away. Josh said, “Hello. Is someone there?” I wanted to move towards the phone but couldn't. I fainted and there was blood everywhere around me.
