Chapter thirty five: He's In Heaven But I'm Going To Hell.

Her eyes were staring into my soul and they were burning into me like I just confessed my biggest sin in my eighteen years of life. Her ginger hair was clean without a strand out of place and she wore boots that gave her some height from her shortness. She wore a black crop top, showing her belly button and light blue jeans that tightened around her waist.

She looked a hell of a lot better than me right now with her makeup and her perfect style like this was a fashion show in New York. She swung the door shut behind her, it made a loud echo in this large space and my hand ball up in a fist.

This was the girl who betrayed me, she let people die and she didn't even blink when she killed Noah. She was heartless, cruel and I wanted to end her but my soft side would come out. I would begin to see Jess's face in hers, I would begin to see that Norrie was once my best friend before all of this and I would see the memories we once shared as friends.

I shook the thoughts out of my mind, remembering Noah. Seeing his dark eyes die in front of me was something I wish I hadn't witnessed. I saw the same thing when I saw Jess die and it happened all over again. Norrie would pay, whether she was my friend or not.

"There's no way out, Alexis." She broke the stare between us and I blinked a few times, looking her up and down one more time before moving away from the door that stood behind me.

The thought of her killing Noah circled my mind and it wouldn't disappear. "Why are doing this?" I wanted the answer so badly; it was dripping from my mouth. Part of me knew that it was because of Jess but another part of me knew it was something much deeper.

"You know why." She took a few steps closer, her heels clicking as she walked.

I rolled my eyes, knowing I was not going to get much out her today. Maybe I would never know and I could accept that, I could accept that she hated me for letting Jess die but I couldn't accept the fact that she killed Noah right in front of me. That was not okay and I wanted revenge for what she did to me and my friends.

"I guess we have something in common," I shrugged like it was no big deal, "but I didn't do it on purpose." I also took a few steps closer, seeing her in the light more clearly. I had to fight the urge to jump her but the fact that I've been friends with her for years stopped me. She reached behind her and my eyes widened at the fact that she could kill me right now. I got ready to jump; my eyes watching her hand grabbed something and she pulled it out slowly. A sharp blade from a small knife appeared in my view and gripped into her hand. "You would really kill me?" My voice was soft, hoping to trick her into thinking I didn't want to do the same thing.

"I was planning on killing you since Jess died," she snickered, "and I will do that, thanks to Joe."

I cringed at his name. He was manipulating her to get to my father and she was falling for his spell which I could see through. Norrie looked spiteful, like she really wanted to hurt me even after everything we've been through as friends. "Joe?" I laughed. "You really think he cares about you?"

She gripped tightly on the knife, her anger showing on her face like I just pushed her biggest button. "Of course he cares!"

The truth was, I didn't want to hurt Norrie. I still cared about her even after everything she had done. To me, she was still the same girl I knew back in high school. The saddest thing was that if she tried to kill me, I would kill her first. "He's just using you, Nor." I tried to get her back on my side for the sake of her life; she had no fighting skills that I was aware of. She got scared of a spider, she couldn't kill another human being.

"Stop saying that!" I flinched at her angry tone; I've never heard Norrie speak to anyone like that. This life had changed her to be something completely different and I didn't like it.
