Untouchable
Chapter one
“get away from me”
“Cheryl, wait…I can explain”
“don’t touch me”
“I’m sorry”
“I cant even look at you right now”
The door slammed shut with a harsh sense of finality. Kimberley stood in her kitchen, staring at the door as if it was going to open again and Cheryl was going to walk through it. She waited.
She waited longer than was necessary because really she knew as soon as she leant in to kiss Cheryl, that it was all going horribly wrong. It wasn’t the way she had planned it at all, she had given up everything for this, her boyfriend, her friendship, possibly her career, all for this moment and it had failed miserably.
She leaned against the work top, her hand gripped tightly around the wine glass that she had picked up moments before Cheryl had walked out, or more appropriately stormed out on her. Gravity gave up on her as she slowly sunk to the floor, tears flooding her eyes and rolling down her face without abandon. It only seemed like the day before that she had told Justin that she didn’t love him, although she had sugar coated it somewhat to save him from any undue heartache, in reality it had been weeks. Cheryl hadn’t given her the option of any such sugar coating, no letting her down gently, no telling her ‘she would if she could but she cant’.
“I cant even look at you”, the words resounded in her head, starting out small but getting louder and louder the more she heard them. The hurt and anger in Cheryl’s voice was apparent as she shouted the words that Kimberley was sure she would remember for ever.
The glass stem of the wine glass gave way under the pressure that Kimberley had absentmindedly applied to it, it shattered causing the shards to go everywhere. She felt the blood before the pain, shock had numbed her to everything at that point. The only pain she felt was the one pain that couldn’t be wrapped up with a bandage. She closed her eyes and watched the world fade to black, the knocking on the door, just a distant sound in her head.

Nadine tottered up to Kimberley’s door, she regretted putting the killer heels on. She had got the strangest phone call from Cheryl only moments before, all she could really make out was that her and Kimberley had some kind of argument, she had said some horrible things and she wanted someone to check on Kimberley to make sure she was okay. Nicola had been down in Runcorn visiting her family and Sarah was busy with house preparations. She knocked loudly on the door, which opened slowly.
“Kimberley” Nadine shouted, knocking again before walking through the hallway.
The only light that was on came from the TV which was flashing away in the living room, Nadine shook her head before walking in to the kitchen and finding her friend on the floor.
“Kimberley” she said again, this time with much more panic in her voice. She knelt on the floor beside her and examined her hand from where blood seemed to be coming from. “what the hell have you done” she muttered to herself, holding Kimberley’s hand in her own while also trying to reach for her mobile from her bag
