Tell Me A Lie

Chapter 9

I woke up the next day and I had 2 messages. 

Night baby-Jake 

Love you-Jake

I smiled and just looked at the messages over and over. I got dressed and ready for the school day. I was in a blue blouse and jeans. I wore heels. I looked sexy. I grabbed my book bag and fir the first time in school nothing happened. Adam had a new girlfriend but the thing was it was my friend Haley. "Good for you guys." Haley smiled and pulled Adam in into an hour long kiss seemed like, so I just walked away. I wonder what made them start dating? She hated his guts. I didn't care. Jake wasn't at school which made me sad and kinda lonely. I looked at my phone all day waiting for a text. At the next of the school day I went over to the hospital. 

     "Hey Jake." He wasn't looking good. The gun wound was infected. "Hey beautiful!" but it didn't seem to bother him. I kissed his forehead and rubbed his head. "Sorry. I didn't know you were coming or I would've cleaned up a little." I shrugged. "I don't care how you look just as long as your here." He smiled and grabbed my hand. "But maybe it's better for you if I did die." I shook my head in disappointment for him saying that even. "No. Just don't talk like that!" He nodded and stared at the wall. It was silent. "Jake are we making the same mistakes?" He looked at me puzzled. "Me and Adam use to ask stupid questions which either made the other person mad." He rolled his eyes and pulled his hand away. "I'm no Adam." I was confused aren't they friends? I shot him a look and he flipped. "What do you still have feelings?!? Why are you here then?!! GO BE WITH YOUR LOVER!!!! YOU SLUT!" I stepped away. "Excuse me Jake I'm here with you because I care about you. Me and Adam we're done. He's moved on!" He shook his head and looked at the ceiling. "Call me when your done." I walked out and slammed the door behind me. Asshole. I was walking down the hallway but I saw a little girl leaning on the wall and she was so sick and you could tell. "Hi sweetie." She smiled and hugged me. "Hi mommy, I've been looking for you! They said you would come back!" I gave her a little hug back. "I'm not your mom." Her eyes grew as they scanned my face. "Yes you are. Your just like my mom." I lead her down to the front desk. "Um excuse me...." I was looking for the name tag "Miss.Janbi" She looked up. She had emerald green eyes and blonde straight hair. "Yes?" 

        "This little girl seemed to be lost in the hallways." She nodded and looked over the desk. "Oh Christina! Your mom is in your room. She's been worried!" She grabbed her hand and pulled her away. Nothing else besides the little girl about to cry as see watch me. I turned to walk away but then I felt someone grab me. "Sh be quiet and I will let you live for another day." It was a female but it was too muffled. I closed my eyes and  let the person take me. I was thrown into a back of a mini van? I looked out the window and saw Adam walking into the building. I grabbed my phone and text him. 

 Help. 

Sorry I'm not your boyfriend.

I rolled my eyes and looked out the window thinking why is it always me? I hate being a victim! For once I wish it was someone else. 

KATHY HURRY BACK! It was Adam.

I can't I'm in a trunk of a car!!!!! 

Jake's having a heart attack. Or something foam is like coming out of his mouth!

Adam wasn't the smartest. I popped the back window which was hard but do able. I jumped out. It hurt like hell. I dialed Haley no answer. I called Kyle answer!

 "Kyle help! PLEASE I'm 3 miles away from the hospital! Fast."

"I'll be there soon....." He didn't seem to worried. 

I hid in the little trees there on the side of the road. I closed my eyes and thought. I didn't mean Jake. Please let him pull through and why do you hate me!! I saw a car stop in front of the trees it was my mom? I got a call. I sent it to voice mail. Then a text.

    He's dead.......... Sorry.

I felt my heart sink. I felt tears stream down my face. I saw Kyle pull over. 

 Brat I'm here.

I ran to his car so my mom couldn't see me. He looked at me and sorrow crossed his face. "What happened?" I shook my head. "He's dead. I was there." He hugged me and I put my head on his chest and sobbed. "It's no ones fault besides mine. I shot him, it's my fault. I'm sorry." 

    "People make mistakes. Your was just deeper and I won't be able to hate you forever but my trust will never restore. I hope you know." He nodded and turned his car on. "I understand." We were quiet for the 3 mile ride. I got to the hospital and I saw all of our friends. His family. They all looked at me. I got sad, mad, disgusted, and worried looks but to be honest I saw my 3 best friends and I just ran into their arms. "I loved him so much. He was my best friend." I hardly could say those words. I never wanted to saw loved because I knew it was over everything was over. Everything. Haley rubbed my back while Sarah held me up. Jasmine hugging me. I was glad I had them but I never hated life or dreaded the thought of waking up. Kyle stood in the corner watching me. I looked at him and thought how could he be so heartless. Watching these people suffer. I looked over at his mom. She was on her knees and crying on her husband's legs. I walked over. She loved me since I was little. "I'm so sorry for your lost Jen." He looked up and stood up. "I'm sorry for you as well." She looked over at Kyle. "Are you sure your safe?" I nodded and hugged the tear filled woman. She was the mother figure. Even when mom was around. My mom worked  11 hours 6 days a week. Dad worked 8 hours all week. 

        I never loved the thought of letting go. I never wanted to lose a friend. I never wanted him to go. But it seems like everything I didn't want happened on the same day. Last thing we did was fight. I went to his room where he lied dead. I went to the side of his bed. I grabbed his hand. "I'm sorry." His heart thing went a little. "Kathy. I want you to be happy." Then it went flat. That was it. Last words. I laid my head on his chest and cried for hours. I took his jacket to remember him. Which that wasn't the only way but it just felt right to hold something of his. I knew I would never be able to hold his hand again. Which I hated the fact of.  I lost everything.
