"Need some help?" He asks and bites his lip as he puts his free hand out for me to grab- the other hand holding up an umbrella.

I nod and take his hand gratefully, standing up next to him- my legs feeling like jelly beneath me as he puts his arm around my waist to keep me steady.

"Never thought I'd see you again." I murmur as we walk together along the dark streets, a blush rising onto my cheeks once I realise his arm is still around me.

"Well I figured since you ran out of a club bawling your eyes out, you could use a friend." He says and I sigh at the thought of JJ, rubbing my face with my hands.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He murmurs and rubs my waist soothingly, biting his lip as he looks at me.

"No." I state simply and bring my hand up to my mouth- chewing on my nails nervously, and I can't help but wonder where JJ is.

"Do you want to come back to my hotel room for the night?" He asks and I nod almost immediately- despite what we've been through, I know he will always have my back.

"I have something I need to deal with first."

I pull the blunt away from my mouth and throw it on the ground once I see her walk past- stomping the flame out.

For the past hour I've been waiting in this alleyway, and now I have the perfect opportunity.

Cal had gone back to the hotel long ago after he gave me the room number and a key, so no one was able to stop me now.

I follow behind the slightly shorter girl, cringing as I hear her heels clicking against the paved ground.

It made me sick watching her, especially since her lips were just locked with JJ, my JJ.

I reach behind me and wrap my hand around the handle of the knife I always carry with me, pulling it out of my pocket and letting a devilish smirk appear on my face.

I wolf whistle and she turns around with her eyebrows raised, resting her hands on her waist as she looks at me.

"What? You like what you see?" She smirks and poses slightly- her overly short dress riding up, revealing more of her thighs.

"Oh yes, beautiful." I smirk and walk closer to her, keeping the knife close by my side as I back her up against the brick wall.

"Well, what're you gonna do about it?" She bites her lip as she looks up at me, her hands moving to touch my chest.

I don't say anything but instead lean in to kiss down her neck- waiting until she's begging for more before stabbing her in the stomach with no hesitation.

She gasps loudly and I cover her mouth- slowly guiding her to the floor as she falls down, her eyes wide.

"Don't test me, bitch." I hiss and pull the knife out- immediately dragging it across her throat, the life leaving her eyes.

A smirk rises onto my face as I stand up, wiping the knife off on my shirt and putting it away as I brush my hands off on my shorts.

It was what she deserved.
-
A heavy sigh leaves me as I stand under the warm stream of water, running my hands through my wet hair continuously as I wash the soap out.

Cal has been nothing but kind to me, letting me use the shower first, lending me a spare pair of pyjamas- but I just can't help the sinking feeling in my heart.

I run JJ's words through my head over and over again, trying to make sense of it all.

Promises are made to be broken
