The Darkness Inside

10

Jared POV

Grace.

Why? Why Grace? She's such a beautiful person inside and out, but why? I've only known her for about 3 days, but I actually like her. She's different, in an amazing way. I can't let her do this. I'll have to stay away. I'll have to let her sort it out. She doesn't even want me here. I need to stay away so she can focus on help. I decide to leave her a note.

Grace, I saw your scars. Get help.
-Jared.

She'll be okay. I pray she'll be okay.

I guess it's time to go home now.

Grace POV

Oh my eye. Ow my nose. OH MY GOSH WHAT HAPPENED?! Oh. Oh yeah.
Jared stood up for me. He's so sweet.

Who would be nice to you, evil girl?

Oh another note!

Grace, I saw your scars. Get help.
-Jared.

What?

No! No! He thinks I'm crazy! He was so good to me though! He can't leave me!

I can feel my tears rolling down my face.

I need to text him.

Me: Jared please come by so we can talk. Please.

No reply.

He's not coming.

I think I'm gonna be sick.

Get over yourself beauty queen. He doesn't like you. He just pities you.

It's Saturday so I don't have school. Maybe I can ask Karol to come over. I wonder why she never showed up last night anyways.

I call her cell, but there's no answer. Okay I'll just call her mom.

"Hi Mrs. Thomas? It's Grace. Is Karol there?"

I hear sobbing on the end of the line.

Karol?

"I'm sorry Grace. I should've let you know. Karol's dead.."

Oh my god. Not Karol. No. Not my sweet, beautiful best friend Karol!!!

"Bu-...but how?"

"It was an accidental overdose. She was complaining of her stomach hurting. So I grabbed my Tylenol, except it wasn't my Tylenol, it was three extremely strong pain pills. She..she became stiff and she was vomiting blood. Oh god Grace I'm so sorry!"

More cries.

Karol. My beautiful Karol.
