The Pact

Jesy Nelson

"You must do it! You know you want to! Come on Jesy!" Said Shawn, Jesy's boyfriend. Jesy had a bottle of liquor in her hand and a lighter on her other hand. Shawn's group of friends and Jesy were all standing around their english professors Mr.Sander's car. Shawn and his friends already had smashed Mr.Sanders windows, broken his head lights, and scratch his doors with keys. All that Jesy had to do was finish everything by pouring liquor all over the car and throw the lighter at his car.

Everyone was waiting for Jesy to do it, but Jesy was just standing there looking at the car she didn't know if she wanted do it or not. Shawn walked up behind Jesy and whisper to her in her ear "Babe, prove to me that you can do this. Show the others that you aren't just a pretty face." Shawn kissed Jesy's jaw and Jesy closed her eyes while he was leaving love bites all over her neck. "Now baby girl lets blow up this shitty car and go home." Said Shawn.
Jesy opened the bottle of liquor and poured it all over the car. When she was done pouring the liquor on the car she threw the glass bottle on the floor and it shattered into pieces. Jesy turned on the lighter, she looked at the flame for a couple of seconds and that's when she threw the lighter at the car.

The fire spread quickly all over the car in less than a minute. Shawn's friends ran back to the house because they were afraid that the car would exploded in any second. Jesy stood a few feet away from the buring car, and she watched the car. She couldn't believe what she had just done. It shocked her. Shawn stood behind a tree watching Jesy, he couldn't believe she actually did it, but he was proven wrong by his thoughts about her. Shawn walked to Jesy, but Jesy fell to the floor.

   The next morning Jesy woke up in her bed. Her head was spinning and she felt dizzy. She put her hands on her head and tried to sit up against the headboard. Jesy leaned her head back against the headboard and counted to five, then closed her eyes for a couple of minutes until she was disturb by a knock on her door. "Come in."
The door opened and Ella came inside.
"I'm glad that you are awake now." Said Ella. She walked to Jesy's side and sat down on her bed. She patted Jesy knee and began to speak "Do you want to tell me what the hell happened to you last night?" Jesy lifted her head up and looked at Ella. She was about to speak, but no words came out her mouth. "Look Jesy, I don't want you to keep doing these things with Shawn. You may not know this, but he is just using!" Jesy gave Ella a bewildered look and decide to speak "What the hell are you talking about Ella? You know nothing about him and he would never do that to me because he loves me." "THATS WHAT YOU THINK JESY! HE DOESN'T LOVE YOU AT ALL! YOU TO HIM ARE JUST ONE OF HIS OTHER BITCHES HE GETS TO FUCK AROUND WITH UNTIL HE GETS BORED!-" Before Ella finished, Jesy smacked Ella in the face.

Ella's cheek was now red and turning into a light purple spot on her cheek. Ella stood up from Jesy's bed with her hand on her cheek and looked at Jesy. Ella couldn't believe that Jesy, her best friend had just smacked her. Jesy got up from her bed and looked at Ella. She walked towards her, but Ella backed away. "I'm so sorry Ella, I didn't mean to smack you." Ella walked out of Jesy's room, before she got closer to her. Jesy followed behind Ella and calling her "Ella wait, stop walking away from me! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to smack you, it's just that-" "It's just what Jesy! What is it?" Jesy didn't know what to say to Ella. "A friend can't look out for a friend and tell her the truth? A friend can't make her friend find someone better because she deserves it? Jesy a friend is there to help you and tell you what's best for you, but it seems like you don't care about our friendship anymore. I accept your apology, but we are no longer friends. I wish you the best and I hope you find someone who is good for you and a great friend." Ella wiped her tears and left the room.

Jesy stood there, looking at the door she didn't know what to say or do. She didn't know if she should cry or feel guilty. Her emotions were all over the place. Jesy walked back to her room and went to lay on her bed. She rested her head on her header and closed her eyes to relax herself, which end with her falling asleep. About a half hour later she woke up and went to take a shower. After she came out of the shower, she changed into some comfortable clothes and sat on her bed. Jesy grabbed her phone and check if she had any missed calls or messages, she had one miss call from Zoë and a few messages from Charli. Charli's message were about tonight's party and Jesy to bring some bottles of beer.

Jesy went to her closet and got a black dress to wear to the party. She laid the dress on her bed and started to do her makeup, then her hair. When she was done she put her dress on and her burgundy heels to match her make up. Jesy checked her phone for the time and it was quarter till nine, she looked at herself one last time in the mirror and left her room. Jesy walked to her Range Rover and unlocked her car, then got in. She left her campus and head towards Shawn's place, but first she had to go to the grocery store and buy the beer. She went inside the store and bought two six pack of beer. Once she was done she went to her car and drove of to Shawn's apartment.

Jesy parked her car and got out the car. She had the two packs of beer in her hands. She walked to the front door of Shawn's building and the doors opened automatically. "Hello Norman" said Jesy. "Hello Ms.Nelson, it's seems to me that's tonight's party is going to be great." Said Norman. Norman was the supervisor of the building, Shawn lived in, he was a man in his late twenties,he was tall and lean with green eyes and great hair. Jesy smiled and walked to the elevator and pressed the button going up. Once the door opened Jesy stepped in and said to Norman "You have no idea." She smirked. The doors closed and she press the button that said fourth floor.

Once she got to the fourth floor she walked to apartment number 17D. Jesy walked to Shawn's apartment and the door was wide open, you can hear the music playing, and people laughing. Jesy walked in and all she saw was people kissing, people drinking, people flirting with one another, she spotted Charli sitting on the counter talking to some guy, with a red cup in her hand. Jesy settled the two packs of beer next to Charli, and she smiled at Jesy "Glad to see that you can make it." Jesy gave Charli a small smile. "Yeah, so what's up?" "Oh nothing, just chilling for today." Said Charli. Jesy sat next to Charli, got a drink, and just watched everyone. "You know if you are having a miserable time here you can go home or spend the night with me?" Jesy turned around and saw Shawn smirking at her. "So what do you say Jesy?" "Why didn't you visit or call me ever since that day?" Jesy stood in front of Shawn. "Look, can we talk about this later Jes?" "Alright then."

The party ended at three in the morning. Jesy was laying on the couch, trying not to fall asleep, but boy was it hard for her. "If you are tired we can talk about this later?" Shawn offered. "No, no I'm fine, we can talk about this now." Said Jesy.  "Alright then."  "Okay, umm... What happen that night, Shawn? I can't remember anything that well. I just know that I passed out."  "I have no idea Jesy, I just remember you passed out,when I got closer to you, and you were saying some weird words. I took you to your room and I told Ella what happened, and that's all." Shawn looked at her, but he didn't do nothing. "I'm going to use the bathroom, I'll be back." Jesy went to the bathroom and washed her face with water, she dried her face with a towel, but she just stood in front of the mirror and looked at her reflection. "I can't do it! I'm sorry I just can't." A black figure appeared behind her, and it turn into a human man. The man was tall and lean, long black hair, his eyes were grey, he had black jeans on with a red shirt, and boots on. He got closer to Jesy and said "You have to, if you kill him now, he won't hurt you later on. Think about it Jesy."
Jesy hesitated a bit and she finally agreed. "I'll kill him then." "That's my girl." "Wait, before you leave, what is your name?" Jesy asked. "I have many names, but call me Dylan." Then Dylan disappeared after that.

Jesy was now alone in the bathroom, she checked the bathroom drawers for scissors, until she found them. She put the scissors in her pocket of her jacket,got out the bathroom and walked back to the living room. Shawn was laying in the couch with his hands on his face, Jesy walked towards him and she can hear his small snores. Jesy knew that Shawn was a heavy sleeper, nothing can wake him up except if someone touched him that's all. Jesy took the pair of scissors out her pocket and stood in front of Shawn. She looked at the sharp scissors one last time, and she did what she had to do. She stabbed Shawn in the chest, Jesy kept putting pressure on the scissors and his blood was squirting out. Shawn tried to push her hands away, but he couldn't, he was getting weaker due to the amount of blood he was losing. Shawn was losing conscious now, he was dying slowly. Jesy shed a few tears, but she never made any eye contact with Shawn while she was killing him.

Jesy looked at Shawn, but his eyes were closed and he was no longer breathing. Shawn was now dead. Jesy stood up and removed the scissors away from Shawn's chest. She couldn't believe she killed him, she put the scissors in her jacket pocket. She had blood stains on her dress, jacket, and shoes. Jesy walked to the kitchen sink and washed her hands to remove the blood. After Jesy was done washing her hands, she kissed Shawn's forehead and left his apartment.

Jesy walked towards the stair case and walked down the stairs. She knew their was an exit at the end of the stair case. Once she reach the last floor, she got out the building. The doors alarm went off, Jesy began to run to her car.
She took her keys out her pocket and opened her car, she started the car and drove off. Jesy drove, but she had no destination to go to.
    
      The night was cold, it was mid-November. All Jesy could think about was how she killed Shawn and she just left. She had a few tears in her eyes, but she sucked them up. "He deserved it, don't worry about it." Jesy looked back at the backseat and saw Dylan sitting there with a smug look on his face. "How did you get in here?" Dylan didn't answer her, but he pointed towards the front. Jesy turned around, but it was too late. She crashed into a truck and the last thing she saw was Dylan disappear from the backseat.
