Trouble

If We Shall Die We Shall Die Together

I walked to Zack's room hoping Skai will be in there. We need to talk. I grab the door handle and opened the door seeing Skai sitting on the bed. I cleared my throat and watched as she jumped. "Sorry." I tell her. "It's okay." She says, probably talking bout me scaring her just now. "No, I'm sorry for acting like a total bitch..." I said, trailing off. I felt like shit. "Jesse, it's okay.. We all get like that.." she trails off. "I don't know if we are friends anymore but if we aren't can we?" I asked. I knew right then how much I fucking missed her. Yeah I was a bitch and thought I could handle everything myself but I need Skai. "Of course Jesse.. I'm not throwing away a friendship since pre-k for something silly like that! I love you, Jesse. You're my lifeboat, the reason I'm still here." she tells me the last part quietly. "The reason you're still here?" I questioned trying to think by what she meet. "Yeah.." she admits quietly. "You wanted to kill yourself but I helped you through it?" I questioned. I stared at her feeling my heart yanking by what she was telling me. I knew Skai for fifteen years.... and I fucking threw it in the trash for acting like a bitch. "Yeah..." she tells me quietly, tears spilling from her eyes. I walked to her very quickly and engulfed her in a hug. I held her close thinking of the times I could of lost her. The tears fell from my eyes on my cheeks. "I never told you how many times you saved me without knowing it." I tell her. I moved back and gave her a weak smile. "Are we good?" I asked. She nodded giving me a smile. "I'm glad we are." I tell her. A knock on the door made her jump and me turn around seeing Zack. "Hey.. are you two okay?" Zack asked. "Yeah." I said and looked at Skai. "Much better." She tells. I look back at Zack. "How are you feeling?" he asked. I rubbed the back of my neck instantly regretting it. I cringed and put my arm back down. "Still hurting." I admit.

I heard another knock at the door. I looked at the doorway seeing Alex. I instantly backed up. "Jesse come here." Alex ordered. I shook my head no. "Leave me alone Alex." I tell him. "Don't you dare tell me what to do, Get over here now!" He shouted. I jumped from him shouting. I started to walk to him when I stopped. I was close to him and far from Zack and Skai. "No, You're just going to hurt me." I said as I looked at him narrowed ng my eyes. "I'm tired of getting abused, I thought it was done when I broke up with Jake." I said. Alex stepped forward, grabbed my arm making me whimper. "Let her go!" Zack ordered. "Shut the fuck up!" Alex yelled. Alex started to drag me out of the room. I grab his hand and started to get it out of my hair. When I felt his hand let go, I stood up when he swung his fist hitting me in the face. I stumbled backwards falling into someone's arms. I brought my hand to my lip feeling blood as I got set on the floor. I watched Zack storm to Alex punching him then pushing him out the door. "Jesse are you okay?" Skai asked, worried. I just nodded as tears fell. "Why did you whimper when Alex grabbed your arm?" she asked. "Bruises." I lied. Skai grabbed my left arm gently and moved my sleeve up. I watched her eyes widen seeing I lied. On my arm was a long line vertical starting to my wrist and end before the bent of my elbow. "Did you do this?" she asked, scared. "No... Alex did." I tell her. The wound was deep, I'm surprised I didn't bleed to death. "What's gotten into him?" she asks. "I don't know..." I whispered. I closed my eyes as memories of Jake flooded back in my mind.

"I'm going to get stuff to clean and cover this... I'll be back." she tells me. I nodded and open my eyes getting to watch her leave. I got up and walked to the bathroom. I looked at the mirror seeing my lip split. I grabbed a towel and wiped the blood. I walked out of the bathroom hearing footsteps but they weren't soft like Skai's nor gentle as Zack's. Rian's footsteps were not so gentle but not too loud and for Jack's his were loud cause he's weird. The footsteps that came to me were loud... stomping... And mad.... Alex... I felt my anxiety starting to raise. The only people who can calm me were Skai and Alex in here but I can't find Skai and Alex is the one giving me it. I turned and started to run through the hallways. "Come here Jesse!" Alex shouts. I didn't answer. I kept running. I turned and ran down the stairs hearing Alex behind me. "Come here you bitch!" He yells. I got to the fourth to last step when he tackled me to the ground. I made a noise that sounded like a whimper and a muffled shout. I kicked and started to crawl away. I turned around and got up, looking at Alex who was staring at me with a crazed look in his eyes. I gulped and tried to breath but I couldn't. I felt tears fall down my face. "Please.... Alex......Stop... I can't..... breath." I choke out. I put my hand to my chest as if it will do something. I looked at him, as he walked towards me. I felt him grab my hair but move to my arm grabbing it tightly. I stare into his eyes seeing hurt and worry but that quickly vanished as I saw hate. He yanked me forward as he started to walk. I had to follow since he was dragging me. I heard him open a door. He walked in, I look seeing he's taking me to the basement. We got to the bottom and walked more. As we walked I saw the boys tied in chairs. I looked around frantically when I spotted Skai tied to a pole. I moved my left arm and punch Alex. Which was far most the worst and biggest mistake I could do as he stares at me furiously. He punches me and throws me to the ground. I hit the cold floor as Alex gave me a hard kick to the ribs. Thanks for making me breathing harder! He grabbed my hair picking me up. I staggered forward when I thought I had balance he pushed me into a chair. I felt it break as I collided with it. I fought to breath right. I looked up. My eyes caught the boys who looked scared and worried as hell. I felt my hair being pulled. I stood up and followed Alex. He slammed my back into a pole making me yelp. I looked at him as he tied ropes around me and the pole.

I couldn't breath. I fought to keep my eyes open. "Alex she can't breath!" Skai shouts. "Help her!" Jack yells. I looked at Alex as my eyesight started to get blurry. I saw him walk towards me when I couldn't see. All I saw was black. My head fell forward as my body went numb and useless like a rag doll. I felt the ropes being untied from me. I felt the cold ground. "Jesse come on, Wake up, come on." Jack says. "Jesse please wake up!" Skai shouts. "Look what you done Alex!" Zack shouts.

I saw a knife close to my hand. But how could I see my eyes weren't open. "Bout time you figured out your gift." my mom's voice says. "You're able to have visions." she says. I moved my hand as I felt for the knife, as I grabbed it. I opened my eyes seeing Alex crouching in front of me. I quickly moved my arm out stabbing him in the side with the knife making him yelp out. He fell to his side. I got up feeling anger inside of me rumble. I growled sounding like a wolf as I see him get up and yank the knife out of his side. I moved around him as he started to swipe the knife at me. We went in circles as he swiped. I dodged and severed. When I saw something bright in the corner of my eye. "Dammit!" Rian shouts. I started to smell smoke. I looked over to where I saw the bright light.. Flames. Fire. I looked back at Alex just as I saw the knife fly to me,digging into my abdomen. I fell to my knees as I coughed up blood. I put my hand out as the other one yanked the knife out. I fell to the floor as I felt the blood pool out of the wound, onto the ground. "Look what you done! You killed the girl you love Alex!" Jack yells. "Wake the fuck up Alex!" Zack yells. "Alex please wake up. We need to get out of here or we're all going to burn." Skai says. I heard Alex walk away. "The bastard left us!" Rian snarls. I tried to get up. The third time I tired, I got up. I stood and grab the knife, walking to the guys and cut the ropes off. I gave the knife to Jack. He ran to Skai and cut her loose. I started to fall to the ground when four arms caught me. "We have to get out of here." Jack says. I look up seeing were going up the stairs. We got to the top. "I can walk." I tell them. I felt the arms leave. We made our way to the front door. I looked around seeing the flames everywhere when I spotted Alex in the living room on a stool with a noose around his neck. Even though Alex hurt me so fucking much. I couldn't let him die.

I knew they got out of the house as no voices were bouncing off the walls. I ran well limped to Alex. As if everything was in slow motion, Alex kicked the stool out from beneath him. I saw him struggle a bit. Before I could see him stop,I threw the knife at the rope cutting it. Alex's body fell to the ground. I got closer to him when I tripped over something sending me to the ground. I landed next to Alex. I crawled to him and pushed him on his back. "Alex." I shout. His eyes flew open. "Jesse... What happen to you?!" he freaked. "Alex we need to get out of here... NOW!" I tell him. I helped him up. He helped me walk to the front door as part of the second floor fell blocking our way out. The flames grew along with the smoke. "We need to get out of here quickly the stove will explode along with the bombs I hide in the closet." I tell him. "Bombs?" he asked. "I like to blow things up. Now's not the time to explain why I have more bombs in the closet then there's food in the fridge. We need to get out of here." I say. I don't know what happened to Alex but now I know he's back to his nice, protective self. We walked to the back door as I heard ticking start. "Fuck." I whispered. The fire set the bombs off. Alex reached the door handle. "If we shall die, we shall die together." I said. The last tick of the bombs went off as the flames grew larger.
