Scarred

Chapter 43

Sarah POV-

I felt my jaw fall open. This can't be happening. Not to my best friend.

"What?!" I shouted. "I know! Aren't you happy?" My boyfriend asked. I shrugged. "Ya, but at the same time she was my best friend." I said sadly as I sat on the couch. His arm went around me. "Ya, I understand." He said, then kissed my cheek. "At least this is all over." I said with a smile.

"Actually.." Riker started, "There's still Kendyll." I rolled my eyes. "Don't remind me." I whined. I just saw him shrug, then walk into the kitchen.

"I don't know what to do, babe." I said. "I don't think there is anything we can do. Be happy!" He said happily. I laughed at his happiness.

Then, there was a loud banging on the door. I looked at Ross with a worried look, then got up to answer the door.

I flung open the door, and saw Kendyll standing in the pooring rain, holding a shining knife in her hand.

"You!" She yelled. "Me what?" I asked, trying to sound oblivious. "You are getting my boss killed! Now you have to get killed!" She hissed. I stepped back. "I'd like to see you try." I said with a slight roll of my eyes, then closed the door.

I walked back to the couch, feeling a shiver go through my body. I'm going to get killed.

"Who was that?" Ross asked. "Kendyll." I said with a gulp. He looked at me with concern, and I could tell I had a scared look on my face. He opened his arms, and I joined him on the couch, shaking as I lay my head on his chest.

"Everything will be ok." He assured me. "I'm going to get killed." I whispered. "I'm not going to let that happen." He said. "Promise?" I said in a childish voice. "Promise." He said as he stuck out his pinky. I interlocked mine with his, then kissed him quickly.

After a while, we were all cuddled up on the couch, watching "The Avengers." I was scrolling through my phone, and Ross was playing with my hair, which made me feel sleepy. Then, a yawn dawned upon me.

"Sleepy beautiful?" I heard my boyfriend ask. I nodded and turned my phone off. "Sleep. You need it." He said after he kissed my forehead. I smiled, then closed my eyes, waiting for slumber to take over me.
