Trouble

Maybe The Bitch Is Dead (No Such Luck)

Wow.. She's ruthless... And I didn't realize she was such a bitch either. I get up and walk out of the bathroom and go downstairs, deciding to test something. "Hey, uhm, Jesse? Can I ask you something?" I ask her. "Whatever." she replies. "Would you ever kill someone you claimed to love? Like, for example, me?" I ask, trying to act casual. "Yup." she replies. Wow, okay. "Why?" she suddenly asked. "Just wondering." I tell her, then wander away. I find Zack sitting on the couch and I sit down next to him, leaning my head on his shoulder and letting the tears come flowing down my face. "Zack.. Jesse said she would kill me.." I whisper. "Oh." is all he says, as he strokes my hair, attempting to calm me down, but failing, succeeding in only making me cry harder at the thought that he could snap and kill me, with my best friend. "The fuck Alex?!" I hear Jesse shout. Whatever, she doesn't care about me, so I will pay no attention to her. A minute or two passes and I hear someone storm out of the kitchen, and stomp their way upstairs. It was Jesse, I'm guessing, as Alex comes out after and sits on the couch next to me, and Zack gets up, saying that he has to go to the bathroom. I nod and shift away from Alex to the end of the couch when I feel a hand grab my leg. I yelp and look and see that its Alex. I give him a small smile and apologize. "Sorry, I'm a little jumpy." He nods and stares blankly at me, as if staring through me. Creepy.....

-Weeks Later-

I was sitting on the couch when I heard Jesse yelling at Alex, then the sound of glass breaking. I heard a thump and I twisted around just to see Jesse fall down stairs. I got up and saw that Jesse was bleeding and crying while lying on the ground. "He's just like my ex.." Jesse said as she got up. She limped to the wall, and then Alex stomped down the stairs. "No, stay away!" Jesse shouted. I stayed where I was and watched, knowing that I should do something, but not knowing what to do. Alex grabbed Jesse by the hair, throwing her to the floor and punching her. She started to crawl away, but he stomped on her ankle, causing her to scream out. She sobbed and I start to feel worse, just standing there watching and not stepping in to help my best friend. I know that they have been fighting lately, but seeing Jesse go through something like her ex did to her.. And verbal arguments are okay, every couple has them, but once it gets physical.... Alex gives her one last kick to the stomach and stomps away to who the hell knows where. I run over to Jesse and offer her my hand to help her get up, but she ignores it. "Jes? You okay?" I ask, worried as she wasn't koving or anything. No answer. Shit, is she dead? Did Alex kill her? Oh shit. What do I do? I try again. "Jes, are you okay..?" I ask, trying to be helpful and not worried that she isn't moving, and doesn't appear to be breathing. "Fine, thanks." she snaps and rolls her eyes, getting up and ignoring the hand I held out, offering assistance to help her get up. "Anything I can do..?" I ask her, still trying to be helpful. "No, now leave me alone." she snarls and runs, well, limps, away. Don't be hurt, she is hurt, she isn't trying to be mean, it's her way of coping. It hurts because she is, well, was, my best friend. But lately, I'm not so sure....
