Luke

"Your memory will come back." My doctor explains. "But it will take a few weeks."

"Yeah, can I see my girlfriend now? She's probably out there worrying." I respond, not really interested in the conversation.

"Who's your girlfriend?"

"Chloe. She's that beautiful ass blonde out there. Or at least she should be out there." The nurse rolls her eyes at me and leaves, Chloe coming in minutes later.

"L-Luke?" She stutters.

"Yeah babe?" I ask. She slowly scoots closer. 

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have released the video, I shouldn't have lied to you, and I shouldn't have threatened Stacy." She tears.

"What?"

"You were in a car accident, Luke." She cries, holding her face in her hands. "You were dating Stacy and I posted a video on the school sight. You watched it while driving and a truck slammed into you... I'm so sorry Luke."

"That's not true. I would never date a virgin."

"She was your target. And I'm not actually girlfriend, Stacy is. I'm just a messed up bitch who ruined your life."

"Chloe don't cry, you're not making sense."

"I'm the reason you're here, Luke. I need to go." She cries and runs out the room.

What is she talking about? I know I was in a car accident, but I don't think I'm dating Stacy. She's just some girl who still hasn't lost her virginity yet. 

I will never date her.

Chloe

Crying, I drive home. I feel completely fucked up, and I don't even think anyone understands.

I've always been the popular girl who takes lots of virginities but then again this is a completely new level. I shouldn't have even messes with them. They seemed so happy together and I ruined it.

My parents aren't home - as usual - and I run up to my room.

"I'm doing what's right." I whimper as I lock my bedroom door. "This needs to happen.

I grab a piece of notebook paper and a pen to write.

Dear Stacy Robins, 

Remember when we were the best of friends? Remember when you didn't know who Tora was and we would hang out all the time? Cause I do.

We could never separate. We ate lunch together, played together, but that all changed when you met Tora. I felt rejected and you constantly stuck by her side. During high school you acted like I wasn't even alive until I had bullied Tora.

I had told you I bullied her because she was black, but that's not true. I bullied her because she was stealing my friend. I now realize how completely messed up of me that was.

Not only that, but I threatened you and released a video of you with Luke. I truly apologize and don't mean to hurt your feelings. I'm fucked up, and it's sad that the risk of someone else's life made me realize it.

I'm sorry Stacy Robins. I promise I won't be a problem anymore.

Friends forever, Chloe.

I finish writing her letter and fold it before putting it in an envelope. I run downstairs and shove it in the mailbox before coming back in the house. I grab a knife - the biggest one - and run back into my room.

"You're fucked up." I tell myself. "You don't belong in this world."

I take in my last breath before quickly stabbing the knife into my heart. Quickly, blood seeps out and my breaths get smaller.

Until there are no more.
