The Sun And The Moon

"You really look tired." Olive said, while she closed her locker, the next day at school.
"Thanks,and I am tired, I woke up last night because had a nightmare, and I didn't sleep anymore after that." I explained her, she swapped her hair over her shoulder when her crush passed us.
"Where was it about?" She asked
"That night..." I said, hoping that would be enough and she would understand what I ment. But she didn't.
"That night in the forest." Olive still didn't understand "When I almost got killed." Olive looked confused, and not because she didn't know about what night I was talking.
"What? Why now? I mean it was months ago."
"My thoughts."
"Where are you talking about?" Someone behind us said, we didn't see it coming, so we almost flied three meters in the air because we were shocked.
"Damn, Sarah. Please don't walk up at us like hat, we have weak hearts." Olive said, and I laughed "Don't worries Sarah, we are still alive and Olive was just joking." I said when Sarah looked down "and we weren't talking about something specials, just homework." I answered her question, Olive looked at my with a look that said We don't tell her? Okay, but why not? She's our friend remember.
But then she just said "Yeah, we got a lit of homework, and I was like, if school is not a place to sleep, home is not a place to do homework." I tried to look serious, but after that I couldn't, neither could Sarah. But Olive looked confused, she never meant to be funny, neither she was when she tried, it just got in her mind and said it without thinking.
"What's so funny?" She asked us
"Nothing" I said "anyways, we were talking about homework ."
Sarah nodded "yeah, we for a lot of homework, but I actually came to ask you guys something" she said
"I'm giving a party because it almost is my birthday." She explained
"You have my attention." Olive said, she was a kind of atticed to parties, as long as there were good looking guys of cours.
"What fun, when do you have your party? Because my boyfriend also is having a party, and I promised him to come." I said
"It is this Friday, on my exact birthday." Sarah told, she looked kinda nervous, but she also was a shy person, I could undrrstand that, she was new, and she gave a party, well, I didn't know who she was going to invite, but that was no problem, she was new, and one of my friends, I had to come.
"That's great, his party is next week Saterday, so I'll come, who are you going yo invite?" I asked Sarah while I smiled to her
"I kinda hoped you guys could help me with that, I just know a few of this school, and a few know me." She said looking down to her shoes.
"Of course we will help you!" Olive said exited "I can make a list of people who we could invite."
"Yeah, I'll help Olive with that." I said
Sarah looked thankful at us "thank you so much guys, I'll give you the information later, can we see each other after school in the information room? We could think about what we are going to do, I mean what kind of party and stuff." Sarah, asked.
"Of course, I'm exited, don't worry, we will help you making the best party." Olive said, she almost already was dancing.
"Calm down Olive, the party is Friday, not now." I told Olive.
The school bell rang, it told us we had to go to our classes.

After school I went to the library where Sarah, Olive and I would wait at each other.
When I got in the library I was alone, I took place behind a table and waited.
The door opened and someone walked in, it was James "Hey." He said, he wasn't smiling like usually when we saw each other, he looked worried
"Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked confused, he had basketball training, and if he did catch me up after school he normally waited outside by his car, he never got in the school.
"Protecting you..." He explained
I was confused "Protecting from what?" I asked him
He opened his month but closed it again when a hand grapped his shoulder, "For this happening to you." He said, his voice hit over mid- sense.
I stood up from my chair, but I didn't walk to him, I didn't know what I had to do.
I couldn't see who wrapped James' shoulder, and I wondered why I didn't see or hear the person coming in.
I saw it was a man... Clothed in black...
"No... No, please, let him go!" I said almost crying, this man looked too much like the man who tried to kill me last year. But he was arrested, in jail for at least 10 years, how did he get here?
He pushed James down on the floor, his fingers stuck deep in his skin, and his nails were as sharp as knifes, James started bleeding. The man laughed, he laughed at me crying over James, he laughed at James, crying of pain.
The man's hand went to his pocket and took a knife, a penknife... My penknife.
The man still laughed when he laid the knife on James' trouth.
"Watch what will happen, because right after it, the same thin will happen to you." The man said laughing.
I was paralysed by fear. I couldn't move, and my skin was erupted by goosebumps.
The man still laughed when he put the knife deeper in James' throat, James cried and screamed of pain. A tear rolled down his cheek, he looked as me like he said goodbye, I'll miss you, I love you.
The man cut in his throat, it was deep, too deep, nobody would be able to survive that, blood streamed out of the cut, the man let James fall and his lifeless body fell on the floor, but his eyes were still looking at me. James was death, killed, murdered, I was there, and I just let him die. I didn't do anything.
I started crying when the man slowly walked toward me, it felt like the earth disappeared under my feet and I fell on my knees. The more I cried the more the man laughed, I looked at James again, the tear on his cheek looked like it shined in the light of the library, his eyes looked like he was sorry, sorry for that he couldn't safe me, but he could not be sorry. He died for me. And I let him die...
I tried to get away from the man, I crept away till I hit a wall. It still looked like James was looking at me. He was looking at me while he laid on the ground, almost drowning in his own blood.
"I'm sorry, James, I'm so sorry." I cried
The man was still laughing, his laugh was awful, it sounded like it was full of hate.
"What have I done? Why are you doing this!?" I asked, I almost screamed it.
The grinned while he said "what you've done!? I'll tell you what you've done!!!" The man looked so mad at me, he looked right in my eyes, even tho I couldn't see his eyes, I know, I felt it, he was looking in mine.
He took me and dragged me to the wall on the other side of the library, the man was un-human strong.
I felt blood slipping over my body, and I still cried. I looked one more time at James, I knew it was going to be the last time I would see him. I looked at his back, his white shirt was blood red, even his back.
The man came closer, but faster than first, he didn't laugh anymore, he was mad, really mad. He opened his month to tell what I did, but then someone started yelling at me
"Omg! Moon! Are you okay?" A familiar voice asked full of worry.
I still cried, I cried too much to answer the question, but I didn't need to, they would see James any time.
"Moon!" The owner of the voice started to shake me, I opened my eyes and saw Sarah and Olive looking at me, I looked around, James and the man were gone, not a sign of what just had happened, no screaming, blood, no body. Only my knife laid on the table I sat on when I waited on Olive and Sarah.
Olive and Sarah helped me to stand up.
"Where is James?" I asked them, they looked at each other with confusion on their faces
"Who is James?" Sarah asked
"Her boyfriend" Olive answered "but he isn't here. Moon, you know he is at school, having his basketball training." Olive told me I sat on a chair and took my knife and looked closely at it, nothing. Not a sign of that it has bin used, or that somebody killed someone with it.
"Moon, what happened?" Sarah asked
I looked at them, and I almost started crying again.
"If you can't see it, and neither can I anymore... I guess nothing happened." I said, they still didn't understand "what did you see then?" Sarah asked me, I looked at the place where a few minutes ago James laid.
I took a breath and explained them what I had seen.
