Like Emeralds (NOT RECOMMENDED)

=Chapter 15=

She looked at my emerald ring and took a deep breath.

"I need to tell you why Zishan wants to kill you,"

My heart thudded, mouth parched I nodded slowly and looked down at my ring that winked back at me.

"Go on,"

"We're actually cousins, our mums are sisters.

So the story starts back when they were young, our grandma had been gifted with an emerald ring.

She got iller and iller and her once honey coloured eyes had turned emerald.

They found out that the ring had a strong black magic curse on it, no matter how hard they tried they couldn't get it of her finger.

Eventually she died, leaving our mums with a single dad.

In her will she wrote the ring was to be passed onto my mum, so of course my mum took it, unaware of the curse.

She was driven crazy and had attempted suicide several times, she hurt us and almost killed Zishan in a car accident.

In the end she jumped, leaving us with no one, because our dad moved out when I was five.

In her will it said to pass the ring onto you, so of course they did, to cover up they just lied to you and told you in was inherited from your grandma.

The thing is Jameela, this ring will destroy us, so we need to get rid of it, but the ring is not rid until its owner is dead.

You haven't written your will yet so if you.....die, the ring no longer stays in our family,"

She exhaled and wiped stray tears off her cheek.

Me?

I just stood there, heart thumping, breath caught, it wasn't true, it couldn't be true.

I laughed. "Thats BS,"

"Jameela," Nadia whispered softly. "You've never taken the ring off,"

I carried on laughing. "Look, I'll show you, I'll take it off,"

I tried slipping the ring off. My breath stopped.

"It's jammed," I whispered.

Tears started pouring down my cheeks, slipping down my noes, creating stains that shone in the bright hospital light.

"It's not true, it can't be," I choked.

Nadia bit her lip, her eyes full with unushed tears.

Aliah looked anywhere but me. "I'm sorry," she whispered.

I lost it.

"You liar!"

"Jameela how am I a liar? It's true, we can go to your house and ask your mum if you like!" She yelled back.

"I hate you! You ruined my life!" I sobbed, strands of hair sticking out of my hijab.

"How did I?"

"When I never met you I was fine"

She turned white. "Well if that ring stays on any longer you'll go crazy like my mum and become a suicidal! This is why he wants to kill you! So you don't hurt anyone! So you don't hurt me!"

"Why would I hurt you!?"

"Because I'm your friend, anyone close to you will get hurt Jameela!"

"Then don't be my friend!"

"I can't," she weeped softly. "My life was so dull, I was so depressed even with a murderer chasing us you and Nadia are like my anti depressants, I can't.......I can't lose anyone else,"

I was silent.

Nadia was......not silent.

"Listen here you crazy b*tches, no one is gonna die, not Jameela, not Zishan, we're gonna get rid of that ring, once and for all, because guess what?"

We stayed silent.

"Guys guess what!"

"What?"

"I've got a plan," she grinned.

Oh boy.
