Chapter 19
~Leo's pov~
I left Jade in a hurry to get to my destination, but i was already running late, so i had no choice but to run out on her. I hated lying to her, but i cant just tell her about what I'm doing.
I walked out of the school doors casually and then started to run. I came across the ancient park playground. my eyes searched all over the abandoned area until they landed on a figure leaning on the old, rusted swing-set. it turned around to face me and smiled.
"Leo! i thought you'd never come!" the girl squeals as she runs up to me. "Hey, Ashley." i answer, smiling big. She hugs me in a tight embrace and i cant help but smile a little. She was just so cute. I poked her nose and she giggles in a way that makes my heart melt. She wraps her arms around my neck and stares into my eyes for a long time. She stands up on her tippy-toes and kisses me passionately. I try to kiss her back, but the thought of Jade creeps into my mind, making it difficult. I immediately push away from Ashley with an apologetic look.
"sorry.. i just.. I'm just tired." i lie poorly.
"What the hell is wrong with you Leo? You kiss me for five seconds at the most, you've been distant for about three weeks, and we haven't done it in about a month!" she exclaims, angrily. Reach my hand out to comfort her but she harshly swats it away. "Is there something you're not telling me?" she asks, staring into my eyes, searching for any sign that I'm lying. " I love you, and only you." I say as i grab her hand in mine. I guess that at this point, that is true. Jade doesn't care about me, she would rather be with that Marco guy. I stop my thoughts and focus back on Ashley
Ashley's expression softens as the words sink in and she smiles at me.
"I love you too." she says before she kisses me again. I kiss her back without any regret.
Now, all I have to do is break up with Jade.
She'll understand.
~Marco's pov~
"You're so stupid for thinking you could save me." she whispers in my ear before she goes limp.
She falls to the ground with a 'thud'. i get on my knees by her cold body and try to hold back tears. "It could have been different. you didn't have to leave me like this." I say, my voice cracking at the end. This is my fault. If i was quicker, she would still be here. I think of how she could have died, everything was fairly clean. Then i see the dark red towel under her and pick it up. I run it under some water and see the the red liquid leave the cloth. At first im confused, then I realize that the was originally white. I look down to her wrist and almost jump.
Its so bad, that I'm on the verge of tears. "Be strong. Be strong. Be strong." I repeat over and over again, but its not helping. the tears start to fall as I grab her hand and squeeze it as if it would bring her back.
The deepest cuts I've ever seen, lie on the wrists of my best friend.
And its all my fault.
-------
I jolt up in my bed, tears streaming down my face.
It was just a bad dream.
I can tell that Jade has been clean for a long time, many of her cuts have faded. But that doesn't mean that she wont pull something like what happened in my dream. I need to find a way to help her stop. Just then, an idea pops into my mind.
Shes not gonna like this..
