On the Run

Chapter 10

My best friend?

The only person I haven't lost yet is Jason.

These two days have been absolutely amazing.

Just great.

I looked into my best friends eyes. I could see her hurting inside, but her facial expression was hiding it.

"How could you?" I said shaking my head, trying to keep that lump in my throat down.

I'm not showing her that I'm weak.

Even though I would crumble right now.

"Your just to naive, and dumb to realize anything..so they put me as your best friend," she air quoted 'best friends' with her free hand.

"It was really easy, your to stupid to realize anything." She laughed to herself.

That made me break inside.

My best friend, my sister, betrayed me.

All those memories. Laughs, cries, hugs, parties, fake. All lies.

My whole life is a total lie.

"So you didn't find one part of me, like a sister to you? Because I did. A lot. Your just as fake as the rest of my life. My school. Everything."I said squeezing my moms necklace even tighter.

My sadness turned to anger quickly.

She cocked the both hand guns which made me scared again.

"I'm one second away from shooting both of you." She said clenching her jaw.

I glanced at Jason, and saw that he had another hand gun in his pocket. He winked at me, and I understood.

I'm not naive.

"So all those laughs, hugs, and sleepovers were nothing to you? That just makes you more fake." I said.

She stared at me with such pain, and regret. It quickly faded away, when I heard a gun shot and she tumbled to the ground clutching her stomach.

Jason ran over to me immediately, and asked if I was okay, but I didn't reply.

I just stared at my fake friend, hoping she knew that I strongly did not like her at all.

I ran to her maybe just to let her rethink her thoughts, you know, set her straight.

Jason pulled me back.

"Riley you'll heal her."

I looked back down at her.

Something in my mind made me leave her there.

She didn't deserve to live. She's a fake.

"Oh so your a healer now? Weak."

And to think I thought about saving her life.

I stepped over to the car almost getting in, but she spoke up.

"Your mom, and your dad hated you. I hope you know that." She said.

I looked over my shoulder behind me.

That's it.

I spun around, and punched her straight in the face.

"I hope you know that I hate you." I said.

Jason pulled me away from her, because I would have kept punching. I would have.

My sadness is anger now.

I don't even know whose there for me or not.

Before getting in the car, I put on my mom necklace, and Jason drove off. Leaving Chloe in the dust.

I turned over in me seat staring out the window.

I couldn't even cry. There's no more tears for me to shed. Nothing.

What if my mom and dad really didn't love me? Was I just another person to them? That they didn't care about.

I ripped off my moms necklace, and threw it in the back seat.

"We can talk about Riley. She didn't mean anything about your parents. She was just trying to get to you." Jason said.

I just sat there silent.

I didn't wanna talk.

I didn't want to cry.

I didn't want to breath.
