Never Say A Word

Chapter 23

"Luke!" He yells drawing attention from others around us. Luke looks at him and Calum's face was red with anger.
"What? I'm just getting some food." He lies.
"You're talking to Jennifer!"
"Calum calm down. He's not doing any harm." I say getting between them.
"Stay out of this Jennifer! I've had enough of you getting in the way of me killing this dick!" He yells at me and pushes me. I fall but a boy catches me and helps me back up making me blush. I look over and Calum was pushing Luke against the wall. "This was our night! Just Jennifer and I and the music! Not you! Not any mention of you! I didn't want to hear your fucking name!" He yells and a teacher comes over and tries to separate them. Before Calum could punch the teacher I run and get between them but he doesn't stop swinging his arm and he punches me in the eye.
"Ow! Calum!" I yell getting mad. He didn't do anything. He didn't even care that he hurt me. He just went back to yelling at Luke. I run out the door crying and I run outside. I sit on the steps to the front door of the school and cry hiding my face in my hands. I don't know how long I stayed there, but soon prom was over and people started to leave.

Someone grabbed my arm. They pulled me up and ran into a forest pulling me along with. I didn't say a word, I didn't do anything. Then they pull me into an old abandoned house. They pull me into what had to be a kitchen. It was Luke.
"What are you doing?" I ask him furious.
"I just want one dance with you. Please."
"No! Especially after all the shit you made Calum do!"
"I didn't make him do anything." He said trying to control his anger.
"You ruined my special night!"
"I did not!"
"Yes you fucking did!" I yelled really loud. He growls.
"Jennifer! All I fucking want is to dance with you! Just once! You can't stop being a bitch to dance with me?!" He yells.
"I'm not a bitch!!" I yell glancing over at a very sharp knife. No, I wouldn't hurt him.
"Right now you sure are acting like one!!"
"How?!"
"A bitch wouldn't be mean to me when I try to me nice after years of being mean to you! A bitch wouldn't just let her boyfriend pin me to the street letting a car hit me! A bitch like you wouldn't be so stubborn and wouldn't argue about dancing on a special night like this!" He yells super loud. I couldn't take it anymore.
"YOU RUINED MY LIFE!!!" I scream and grab the cleaver and swing it at him only wanting to miss mostly and give him a small scratch. But I aimed wrong. I swung it and it went through his neck. His body fell to the ground his head barely hanging on with the muscle I didn't cut. I gasp and drop the knife putting my hands on my mouth. "What have I done? No! No please!" I start to bawl. I looked at him. His eyes were open with a tear that was still falling. "What have I don't what have I done what have I done?!" I freak. I look around and run out the door. I run all the way home and into my room. I collapsed and bawl and scream on the floor. I killed him. I killed Luke Hemmings. The boy who bullied me all my life. The boy who loved me and was jealous of me. I killed him. I throw up in my trash can the image stuck in my head. I only meant to give him a small scratch. Instead I literally cut his head off. I'm a murderer.
