A Killer Loves Me

Chapter Thirteen

When lunch time comes around I rush to the cafeteria. I see the others and rush over and sit next to Pat.

We just don't stare at war other as I start to eat.

"What is your guys relationship? I'm so confused right now." Coby says. "We're friends." I say with a smile.

"Friends? Bullcrap! Friends with benefits maybe!" Scarlett says which cracks everyone up.

"We are definitely not dating again. But we are trying to work things out." I tell them.

I look over and see a hurt and sad look come over Tod's face. He stands up and just walks out of the cafeteria.

I quickly rush after him and find him standing on the steps out front of the school.

"What's wrong?" I asks concerned. "Why?" He is all he says in response. "Why what?" I ask back. "Why do you keep forgiving him? You deserve better then him." He says.

"I haven't forgives him yet and even if I do that none of your business. He's been there for me for 2 years." I say. "I've been here for 4 years! Can't you see Abbi?!" He asks in a high voice.

"See what?" I ask. "I'm in love with you." He says quietly as he starts to cry. "You can't be." I say astonished.

"Why not? Because I'm not Pat?! Abbi I've always loved you. Can't you see that?" He asks.

As I start to think about it I realize that the signs were there all along. When ever he'd kiss my forehead goodnight, carried me home when I fell asleep, comforted me when I was sad, and stuck with me through whatever.
It was all because he's in love with me.

Do I love Tod? I ask myself. I realize that half of me is in fact in love with him. He's my best friend and I know I can always turn to him when I needed help or comfort. But the other half is in love with Pat. He's my first love and most of my best memories involve him.

I don't know what to do. Who do I choose in this situation. If I choose Pat then mine and Tod's friendship is over and I'll lose a big part of me.

But if I choose Tod then Pat will be ruined and I'll have broken the heart of someone I love.

I'm not good with life choices. So I do what I always do and run away. It's not just him I'm running from but my whole life.

I just keep running and running until I don't feel like it anymore.

When I take in my surroundings I realize I'm outside of my house. But just as I'm about to go inside I hear an ear piecing scream.

It came from the woods across the street. I run over to them and look around. I hear the scream again and head off into the woods in it's direction.

As I'm walking I get the feeling that someone's watching me. I just shake it off and keep walking. I come to a stop when I see blood smeared across the ground.

When I walk a little further ahead I see a body lying covered in blood on the ground. I run over and look at their face and that's when my world falls apart.

I'm looking into the lifeless eyes of my older sister Jasmine.
