"Help... please... somebody..."
I cried in desperation. Meg laughed at my attempt. "You're so lame."
She then asked me, "Can you hold this for a second?" as she plunged the knife into my right leg. "AGH!" I yelled in agony. Meg just laughed. "You see, I've wanted to do this for a long time, you spoiled little brat." Meg said. She let go of my hands and instantly grabbed my throat, strangling me. "No... Meg... Please..." I tried to beg. She pushed her hands harder and deeper onto my throat. I was fading, I knew I had to try and fight, I knew it, so with the last of my strength, I bashed the side of her head with the knife beside me. I heard a gasp, then I blacked out.
I woke up, on the floor in a pool of blood, with, a body... beside me? I screamed in terror. I tried to stand up, but I couldn't. then I felt a stabbing pain in my right leg.
"Fuck" I mumbled.
Then I heard footsteps. I thought it was Meg, but meg was laying on the floor dead. It was Jack. He was running to me with cloths. He started wrapping my leg tightly. I yelled in pain. He looked up at me and smiled. "its okay, everything is okay." I sat up and once he finished wrapping my leg, he walked over, knelled down, and hugged me. He was warm, and soft. I felt safe, safer then I ever felt before. Then Matt burst through the door. "Nova, you're alive." He ran over to me and hugged me too.
"I'm alright, its okay you guys." I said softly, tears running down my face. "What happened?" I asked them, pulling away. "You... Stabbed Meg, Nova." I looked over at Meg's lifeless body. My head ached in sympathy for her, she didn't deserve to die. Nobody deserves to have their life taken away. "I'm a horrible person." I whispered.
Jack looked at me softly, "no Nova, its not your fault, you did what was right." He said to me. "Nobody deserves to die the way she did, I killed her!" I yelled. Matt then yelled back at me,
"She would have killed you!"
Jack and I stared at him, shocked. He stared back at me, then his expression changed from angry, to sad. "Don't you understand? We almost lost you Nova." He said softly, looking away quickly. Then Jack looked back at me. "He's right, we almost lost you." Then Matt walked up to his room. Jack and I were alone.
"What happened to you?" I asked Jack and touched the bloodied part of his head. He winced and I pulled away in shock.
"I think I was hit with something, then I passed out. When I woke up, Meg was on top of you and you were unconscious. I ran over to you, pushed Meg off of you, checked your pulse, then ran upstairs to get you some bandages and such. What happened to you?"
he asked me. I stared at him. "Meg... She... She betrayed me..." I mumbled, a tear ran down my face. Jack looked at me and moved closer, closer, until we were inches away from eachother. He looked at me, sadly. He then whispered to me,
"I will always be here for you."
Jack softly held my hands, comforting me. It was magic, I moved closer until his lips brushed against mine, and he moved closer. The kiss was magic. We may have been sitting in a pool of blood, but it didn't matter, none of it mattered. It was just Jack and me, in that one moment, in between all the bad moments, one good one.
