More Than One

Chapter 24

~~~In the morning~~~

Rebecca's POV

I didn't want to go to school today, but I didn't have a choice. 

Nayeli's POV

I didn't know what was up with Rebecca. Was she mad at me? Was she on her period? I don't know, I just need to get ready for school.

~~~At school~~~

We were in class, everything was normal, except Rebecca wasn't talking at all. "Hey Nayeli." Jessica greets me. "Oh, hey." I greet back. Something was wrong with Rebecca , I need to talk to her. "Hey, Nayeli, I need to tell you something." Jessica says. "What is it?" I get distracted. 

Rebecca's POV

Angelica wasn't here yet, I had nothing to talk about with Tiffany, Amaris was talking to Angelina, Lesly was talking with her friends. I sat with my hood on, not thinking about anything. I was hoping Jessica and Nayeli would talk to me or include me in their conversation, but that never happened. I felt like crying again. "Hey, Rebecca, how you doing today?" Amaris then turns to me. "Oh, um, I've been better." I say. "Is something wrong?" She asks. "No, everything is fine." I lied. "Oh ok." She smiles then turns back to Angelina. "Jessica, I luv you~~~" I hear Nayeli say. "I luv you~~~" Jessica says back. I look back at them, tears wanting to come out. I held in my tears and turned back facing forward. "Rebecca!" I hear my name. I look at the direction I heard my name. "Just breathe." Angelica mouths out. When did she get here? "What's the point, breathing doesn't work." I thought. I felt tired. I didn't sleep right last night. I had bad dreams and those bad dreams kept replaying in my head. I couldn't even look at them anymore. I then decided that I should just ignore them for now and see if they come by later.

~~~After class~~~

Angelica's POV

"I don't think I can sit here anymore." Rebecca says standing in front of her period 2 seat. The thing is that the tables fit 3 students. Rebecca sat on the right edge, another student in the middle, and Nayeli on the left edge. "Then ask, if you can move." I say. "No, it's ok. I can manage." She sits down. "Are you sure?" I ask. She nods. I go to sit in my seat which was one table in front of her. 

Nayeli's POV

Rebecca isn't even looking at me. Did I do something wrong? Was she mad at me? I didn't want to talk to her, since I'm afraid that things will get worse. to get my mind off the subject I decided to talk to Harley. "Oh my god, Harley!! BTS comeback is almost here." I turn around to face her. She laughs. I then felt sad. Now that I think about BTS, I think about Rebecca. Is this the end of our friendship?

Rebecca's POV

I didn't want to move seats, because I still had hope. I still had hope that Nayeli would talk to me, but she didn't. Instead, I overheard her conversation with Harley. I felt more left out. More left out meant I didn't feel loved. Being left out hurt me a lot. I couldn't focus on anything but that. I licked my lips and let out a sigh. 

~~~Period 3~~~

I took out my binder and opened it to get a piece of paper for me and Angelica. As I opened it, I saw a paper. It said "LUCKY IT'S NOT ME~!!!". I made the paper.  Beneath it, I drew the Lenny face and the UwU face. Then under mine were the ones Nayeli drew in a red pen. Even though it hurt me remembering that moment, I didn't crumble it into a ball, I didn't rip it, I didn't throw it away. I kept it to remind me of the good times we had. "At least I have a piece of her with me, to keep me going." I thought and smiled. I looked for my pencil, which was somewhere in my backpack and found some folded papers I didn't recognize. I unfolded them and saw it was an old assignment that we had for science. I checked the paper for the date since I always write down the date, instead I found Nayeli's name on it. I then remembered that she told me to hang on to them for her, but I never gave them back. I smile knowing I have other stuff to keep me going. I put them back in my backpack and got my pencil out. 

~~~Lunch~~~

Nayeli's POV

Things didn't feel right. Ever since me and Rebecca stopped talking, it felt like I lost my world. I couldn't think straight anymore. I went to sit with Fatima, but Rebecca and Angelica were also there. Rebecca didn't even bother to look at me. I felt like crying, but I held it in. "Hey Nayeli!" Fatima hugs me. I just smile and sit down. We turned on some BlackPink and danced some parts. I look over at Rebecca and it looked like she felt the same pain as me. "Let's listen to BTS now." Fatima suggested. I couldn't listen to BTS anymore, it reminded me to much of Rebecca. How she also sang to their songs. How brave she was to embarrass herself to dance for me. It hurt me too much, but I didn't want to say no. "Sure." I show a fake smile. She changes the music and Bapsae started to play. Man, how much I wanted to cry. "Respirar." Angelica says. Rebecca sighs and Angelica rubs her back. 

~~~Nayeli's house~~~

I sat on my bed scrolling on my gallery. I then found a video I took of  Rebecca dancing to Bapsae. I pushed the video and watched it. I laughed as she did the hip thrust, but slowly I started to cry. I then received a notification that Rebecca posted a new part of  her story. I clicked on it and read it. More tears started running down my cheeks. "I'm sorry Rebecca, I'm really, really sorry. You didn't deserve this!" I say. "How can I be so stupid!" 

~~~Next morning~~~

I ran to Rebecca to try to apologize, but she disappeared. I was confused. I looked for her everywhere. I then heard some sniffs, as if someone was crying. I got closer and found Rebecca covered in blood. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I walked towards her, but felt a sharp pain hit me. I look behind me and saw Jessica with an angry expression. I look down and see a knife sticking out my chest. I was losing blood, and lots of it. I took one last look at Rebecca, but she laid there lifeless. I started to cry. Jessica pulled out the knife and I fell down. "I-I w-was j-just tr-trying to apologize." I let out weakly. "No! I won't let you. Just don't take it personal." She let out a creepy smile, then walked away. I just laid there next to Rebecca's lifeless body. "I'm-I'm so sorry." I let out. 

I sat up from bed, tears running down my face. "It was only a dream." I say. I look at the time. 3:24am. 

~~~Meanwhile with Rebecca~~~

"Jessica!!! JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!!" I yell at her. We were having an argument and it was bad. "Make me you spoiled brat!" She yelled back. She was on my bad side. I couldn't handle it anymore. "YOU KNOW WHAT!!" I snapped. I walked towards her and grabbed her by her neck. "WHA-WHAT ARE YOU D-DOING LET G-GO!!!" She struggled. I pinned her to the wall, choking her. "This is what you get. For all that you said about me. For getting on my bad side." I choke her more. Jessica starts to cough. I strangle her more to the point she turned pale. No sign of movement. I let go. Jessica's lifeless body drops to the floor. I start to cry. "What have I done?" I drop to my knees and hug her body. "Jessica....I'm so sorry I did this to you..." I mumble. I let go of her body and look down at my hands. I see blood. "Am I really capable to kill someone?"

I sat up from bed and looked down at my hands. "Am I really capable to do such a thing?" I say. I start to cry. I would never do anything like that in my life. I look at the time.
3:24am.
