Octavia sat solemnly in the back of a taxi that Valentina had called, and stared out of the window. Her world was becoming foggier by the second, she felt as if she could hardly trust anyone, with Aurelia's face plastered into her mind.
And what did she mean by 'you're next?' Why would she want revenge? What felt like millions of thoughts swam about in Octavia's mind.
Aurelia was quite possibly one of the nicest people Octavia had ever known. When she first joined the school, Aurelia had taken her under her wing and shown her all the cool places to go and how to act. Within seconds, the whole school loved her. Aurelia had cried when her father had died, and Octavia had comforted her for days.
She didn't have to do it, she could've just left Octavia on the sidelines, but instead she took it upon herself to help her. Something that Octavia would always be grateful and admire her for.
But Aurelia wasn't always a perfectly poised and kindly girl, thought Octavia, as she remembered a couple of months ago, when she'd accidentally walked in on Aurelia with a boy from St James. She never saw his face, but that didn't mean much to her, Aurelia was always with some boy from there. I get bored, Aurelia had said one night, lighting up a cigarette, And boys can cure that; for a while.
Anyway, for some reason or another, Aurelia had been in a strange mood, the cause being the heroin that Octavia had found lying on her dresser; the puncture marks dotting all over her arms.
She'd broken down and begged Aurelia to give it up, but instead, Aurelia had flown at her, scratching her face and screaming at her. "You dare tell anyone about this, you bitch, and I'll fucking come to you in the middle of the night and stick these in your eyes." She'd said, whilst Octavia's blood ran cold.
Aurelia had two sides to her, which she blamed on being a gemini, but Octavia suspected there was more to it than star signs.
With courage suddenly building up inside of her, she leaned over and whispered to Valentina about it who looked shocked. They had to get to the police and fast - Aurelia was dangerous.
