Tuesday and Friday nights, Talia slept at my home. During the weekend I didn't left my home, I was too scared to hurt people. What if somebody is mean to me ? What if someone don't look right at me ? I could kill them. I'm glad holidays is in one week. But if my parents invite my brother and his girlfriend for christmas, I will be cold. And they will be too. To me, at least.

"Hey Beth" it's Talia. She wake me up from my dream.
"Were you daydreaming, again?" She said.

"You got me." I said. I can see a smile painting on her face saying: I do know you.

"Will get out of my class ?" It's the maths teacher. He is rude to everyone.

"Yes, sorry" I said. I didn't know it was the end of the class. I could guess, he doesn't approuve student to standing up during his class. "Was your weekend good ?" I ask to Talia while we are going to next class.

"Yes, it was. Yours ?" She ask. I don't need to talk, if she really knows me she can know how was my weekend. A nightmare. If you kill someone they will haunting you for the rest of your life. Taking someone's life is the worst thing we could do. Worst if it's someone from your family, even thing-in-law.

"Sorry." She say."I know it was a nightmare for you." She really does know me. "You wanna hear a good new ?" She smile. I approuve with my head. "Me and Mr. Cooperman aren't dating anymore." She smiles brighter

"Why is it a good new ?" I ask.

"I though like you love both of us you would like it" She say.

"Yes, I do. But why are you smiling ?" I ask. I can see she is a little confuse.

"Because my friends' happiness make me happy. And you are my best friend so it make me happier." She say. I love her so much, not in the way she does, but I love her. "It's my class here. I let you go to yours. See you around."

It's the only one time we are not together. From 2pm to 3.30pm. She chose to follow arts class. I chose science class instead, and James is in it.

"Hey you." He say. I don't wanna be annoying so I say nothing. I know if he ask me a question I will be annoying or rude. "How are you ?" He's still staring at me. In a couple of minutes he will understand I won't answer or... "I asked you a question Beth."

"If I don't answer it's because I'm not interest about talking to you!" I shout. Everyone turns back at us. I get out of the class, he follows me.

"Are you okay ?" He ask again.

"I'm not feeling good right now. I'm stressing. I'm afraid to..."

"You won't kill anyone." He say.

I feel like whenever I'm not with Talia, I'm not myself. Maybe I need her to not kill someone.

 Maybe I need her to not kill someone
