Lip Gloss and Lies

It's all over

​...Annabelle tightened her grip on the shimmering, belt wrapped around the blond haired boy's neck. He struggled helplessly, trying to pry the weapon off of him. Only a few more seconds until the life was completely drained from him .

Soon, Jake's eyes rolled to the back of his head and his body collapsed on to the green, earthy floor. It wouldn't be long until someone found his corpse. Would they know she did it?

Hot tears cascaded down her cheek as she stared at Jake. Anna scoffed, not knowing why she was crying. "Babe, you're the only one for me", she mimicked in a mockingly deep voice, "Liar! You had it coming!"

She bent down and kissed his cold, pale forehead before leaving him under the school bleachers.

As she walked home, she tried to convince herself what she had done was right yet she couldn't get rid of the guilt and sadness that gnarled at her insides. She sighed while she threw away the tainted belt in a random dumpster.

When she got home she ran straight upstairs, ignoring her mother's warm greeting. She threw herself on her bed, immediately falling into a deep sleep.

****************************

When Annabelle woke up the clock flashed '7:00'pm in red, digital numbers. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and looked out the window. Police sirens could be faintly heard. She yawned before her mind went blank.

Jake!

Just then , police sirens got louder as red and blue flashed in her yard. She shot up from her position and tried to think of a quick escape.

​ Her heart was racing at lightening speed as she ran to the bathroom. As she locked the door, she heard a static voice filled with authority bellow out "Annabelle Ashford! Come out with your hands up! You're under arrest for the murder of Jake Martin!"

​It was over. It was all over.
