Last 2 years of Ciara's life

Chapter 15

"So, who do you think it is, that tried to kill Linda after George died?" Helda asked.

I didn't care about what she just asked. I cared more about how I was gonna die. Was it going to be painful or not. What if I will not die and end up living like Linda. All these were the questions that filled my head at the moment.

"Maybe it was his brother or son or daughter," Chloe said

"Could be." Linda said, "Whoever it is, we take him or her down today so that more people won't die." She said and took out a gun from the bag Helda brought.

"Is that a gun?" Chloe asked, "Are we gonna kill him?" She said and took the gun from Linda's hand to observe it. "I have never held a real gun before. It is so cool."

"I am gonna kill him or her today."

There was silence for some time and then Helda spoke, "Ciara, take some rest. We are there with you. You don't have to worry at all."

"I hope you don't run your car over her as you did to me," Chloe said.

"Stop repeating that. That was a mistake. I was in a hurry." Helda said

"What was the hurry anyway?"

"What if I don't want to tell you?" Helda asked

"What if I want to shoot you?" Chloe replied holding the gun towards Helda.

"Stop it, Guys," Linda said and took the gun back from Chloe.
 
I didn't speak much the entire time. I was so silent. I was sitting and wondering how I would die or how I would kill the murderer. Chloe came and sat near me. "How are you feeling?"

"How do you think I am feeling? How do you think anyone would feel at a time like this. At a time they realized that they are gonna die in less than forty-eight hours? Huh?" I asked her rudely.

"Why are you getting angry at me? I am not the one who is going to kill you." She said and turned her head the other side. "But if u keep up this attitude, I might be." she murmured.

"Chloe I am sorry. I am just so pissed at everyone." I said with guilt in my eyes.

"That's fine. I understand."

"No, you don't," I said rudely again.

"Ok, if you say so." She said and there was an awkward silence between us.

"Chloe, listen," I said and she turned towards me, "You remember Mark?"

"Mark who I loved so much but at the same time you hated so much?"

"Yeah, I hated him so much and I wanted to break you guys up."

"You didn't have to do that, he broke up with me."

"Because of me," I said in a low voice.

"What? What did you do?" She asked angrily.

"I told him that you didn't  love him, and you were dating him so that you can be popular."

"What? Why did you have to mess up my love life?" She asked angrily and walked out of the tent.

"Chloe, wait," I called out and ran behind her.

"I wish I could kill you for this." She said.

"You don't have to do that, there is someone out there for doing that," I said am she looked at me.

"Why did you hate Mark so much?"

"I don't know."

"Did you know that I didn't like Lucas so much, but I hid it from you because I thought that you would be hurt, Ciara."

"What? Why don't you like Lucas?"

"It is like he was hiding something from you the entire time." She said.

"No Chloe, I was the one hiding many things from him. I didn't tell him about the book, and that I was gonna die."

"Whatever, u don't get it." She said and walked away as if she was avoiding me.

"I am sorry," I said and followed her.

"If you weren't going to die, you wouldn't tell me, would you?" She asked smiling

"No," I said and smiled back at her.

This was one of the many reasons I loved Chloe, she is the best friend anyone could get. She understood me. I Could share anything with her. And even though I never had a sister, she was always there for me. Always...
