The Beast Inside Me

Here goes nothing

"NOOOO!" I screamed, I tried chasing after her but it was no use, she travelled at incredible speed so it was impossible to locate her. I dropped to my knees, I felt absolutely defeated, and I was in so much disbelief that I couldn't even cry. Crying was all I did to be honest, everyone always had to help me out, and if Jullian wasn't there I would have been defeated long ago or probably even dead. All my friends would put their lives on the line just to protect me but all I would do was sit back and relax or just keep on crying like an idiot. At that moment I hadn't hated myself any more than that in my life, this was probably the closest I would ever come to actually pull this off but I screwed it up again, like I always do. Jullian also dropped to his knees and put his arms around me, he mumbled words of encouragement into my ear but it wasn't helping at all. "Mara, don't be like that, it's not over yet" Jullian said but I replied in rage saying "HOW CAN IT NOT BE OVER YET?! IT'S EASY FOR YOU TO BE THIS POSITIVE COS YOUR SOUL ISN'T ABOUT TO BE TRAPPED FOREVER! DIDN'T YOU SEE HER? SHE JUST LEFT WITH THEM AND SHE'S NEVER GIVING IT BACK, I'M DOOMED! To be honest, I wish I never met you, all you've done is make my life miserable" I said as I stood up, Jullian's heart shattered to millions of pieces, he couldn't say anything for minutes. He tried to find the courage to come back after what I just said but his search was unsuccessful, his face just dropped. But then to my surprise Lance stepped in for him, "Mara, how could you say that? Look, I know I'm not this guy's friend or anything, and I pretty much hated him for quite a while but I knew I only hated him cos I was jealous and all. It sucks to say this but this guy is a pretty solid dude, and I'm happy you found someone like him, I've never seen a guy so in love with a girl like this guy in my entire life. I'd rather let you guys be together than the both of us get back together, this guy is willing to do just about anything for you and you say something like that to him? I'm pretty disappointed Mara, I can't believe you just said that" Lance said with a sad expression on his face. Guilt instantly engulfed me, I couldn't even look at both of them, I tried to defend myself but I couldn't even pick out the words to use, I just kept on continuously stuttering. When I couldn't find what to say I just stared at the floor for minutes then I finally decided it was about time I left.

On my way back I finally started to cry, that was it, Jullian and I were probably over, and Lance didn't even want to talk to me, my life was officially over, Miranda had the crystals and the one person I loved so much probably hated me now. There was no hope for me anymore cos even if I found the other two crystals The Basketball was so soon and Miranda was definitely not giving the others back. I had just like two weeks left, I wanted to make sure I spent it with the people I loved the most, like my mom, the girls and few other friends. I kept on calling my mom and telling her how much I loved her, she was getting pretty worried cos I was obviously acting weird but I told her I was just being grateful for her taking care of me all these years. I didn't hold back how I felt anymore, I only had about two weeks left so I wanted to have as much fun as I could, I wanted to say and do things I always wanted. The girls helped me put together a bucket list of things I wanted to do before, you know? It sure caused a lot of chaos, but I didn't care, in fact I wanted to cause all the trouble I could, if I was going down I wanted to go down with a BANG! Even though I tried to act like I didn't care anymore, I still did, it wasn't easy knowing you had to say goodbye to everything you've ever known, I had given up on any hope of ever getting the crystals back but for some reason something inside of me started to push me, motivate me and keep on telling me not to give up. And whatever that thing inside me was, it was right. I'm Marabella Brown! If I wasn't the daredevil I was I wouldn't even have accepted the challenge in the first place, when I started I was a hundred percent sure I was going to somehow pull it off, that's how I had always been and I saw no reason why I should have changed. I hated myself for giving up so easily and started to hope that somehow I could do this.

Of course I had no idea how I would do it but I figured a crystal would pop out eventually. We were done with exams and The Basketball was in a few days. I sat around just hoping a crystal would fall out of thin air but that didn't happen, I tried walking around too but nothing happened. The Basketball was finally just two days away, girls all around school hurried to hair salons and clothing stores, everybody wanted to look their best for The Basketball. The girls and I also had our fair shares of preparations, I got a new hairdo, had my nails fixed and I finally picked up my dress I had been saving for The Basketball, I was going to blow everyone away with my dress. I had planned I would go with Lance before everything happened and I mean like EVERYTHING happened, so I was going alone. The day had finally come, I stood in front of the entrance to the hall, I swallowed hard and said, "Here goes nothing".
