Sisterly HATE

Chapter 7

I kneel down over Jess's limp body, my jaw practically hitting the floor. Allie and Ben run out into the hallway. 

"You just killed Josh's daughter! Get out of here before he kills you too!" Ben shoos away the guard. He kneels over Jess's body and feels her pulse.

"It's bad." He looks at me.

"You must be Ben." Jess jokes, before coughing up blood.

"And you must be Asia." He takes off his sweater and presses it against Jess's wound.

"I'm Asia. That's Jess." I pointed out. I had never noticed this before, but both Allie and Jess have long brown hair and big brown eyes. I, on the other hand, have wavy red hair and green eyes. I wouldn't be surprised if Jess and Allie were sisters. 

Ben starts to get up. "I'll clear everyone out of this area. You get her out of here." 

Jess grabs his wrist before he can. "No. It's too late. The bullet hit my chest. Use me as an excuse for the gunshot. They don't know I escaped. Say that I tried to escape, and you dealt with me." Ben nods. He doesn't know Jess, obviously he wouldn't care. But I press the sweater firmly to her chest.

It doesn't matter. Jess's eyes start to close.

"Jess, Jess!" I yell, trying to wake her up.

"Asia..." Jess mumbles weakly. She puts a bloodied hand on my face, leaving the print. 

Allie screams in fear. For someone so risky, she sure is freaked out by the sight of blood.

"Y-you two... have to get along." Then Jess falls asleep. 

"Jess! Wake up! Jess!" I scream. Allie pulls me away. 

"Come on! We have to go!" She says through tears. She drags me away, kicking and screaming before shoving me out the back door. I can see her take one last glance at Ben, who mouths the words, "I love you." 

Allie slams the door behind us, and taking one last look at the building where Jess's body will be forever, and will never be found, before bolting down the street, and we don't look back.
