twenty - eight .

half an hour had passed.

"you're pathetic," i spit at the two girls, moving around uncomfortably in my seat, "let me fucking go!"

"let you go?!" natalie laughs, "why? so you can run around telling all your miserable little friends how hard you have it? you have no idea how easy your life is compared to mine. and to sit and listen to your stupid complaints about how your coffee wasn't made right while my own parents scream at each other and take it all out on me. the bruises on my body weren't just from 'accidentally tripping' and a true friend would know that."

"natalie," i whine, "i swear i had no idea! this can't actually be the reason why you've done these shitty things to me, please, i dont understand! we can talk this out, just take the rope off!"

"oh, dont worry about that," natalie voices softly, "i would never do anything to hurt you! although i haven't fully forgiven you for how you treated me, i've come to terms that it'll have to do for our relationship."
"relationship? what relationship?" i ask firmly.

"y/n, don't you see!" natalie cries, "i love you! i have always loved you! since the day i laid my eyes on you, i knew you were meant for me. i did this to help you!"

i was frozen in shock for the second time that night. natalie didn't look or sound like the best friend i once knew, she was different. her eyes were strained, her hair ruffled, and the words coming out of her mouth made absolutely no sense. she was acting insane.

"i-i don't know what you're talking about," i finally say, "i thought we were friends."
"i could never just be friends with you," natalie huffs, "our chemistry is too strong. we were made for each other. we're soulmates."

i was silent, waiting and watching. i could never understand natalie's feelings for me.

"say something!" natalie barks, "i know you felt it too, at the party, when we kissed! it wasn't just a fucking kiss, you confirmed it! i know you love me. i know it."
"i'm sorry," i whimper, "i'm sorry, but i dont."
"stop lying to me!" natalie yells, "just stop!"
"then explain," i say quietly, "none of this makes sense. if you love me, why would you do this to me?"
"fine," she says, "if that's what you need to hear."

and so she began.

"the first time i saw you was back to school day freshman year. you had this soft smile and i loved the way your eyes shined when you looked out the window on the bus ride there. i fell for you the moment we locked eye contact.

i asked you to come over a week or two after we first met, and your face lit up. when you were happy, it made me happy. i've been trying to tell you how much i loved you since that day.

y/n it was always us. only us. we were all we had. of course, i had occasional boys, but i never liked any of them like i did you. i just wanted to be able to tell you stories about them and watch as your face grew more and more interested in the words i was saying. it made me feel like i had purpose.

everything was going great, we were best friends. we told each other everything, and hung out pretty much everyday after school. but then you met mattia.

he ruined everything. i knew you liked him, i could see it in the way you scooted your body closer to his instead of mine everytime we were together; like he was protecting you from me. but you were mine! he took you from me. and i wanted you back.

so i made a plan. i bought a camera and found the perfect places to hide in your yard. i watched you, y/n. for hours everyday. i tracked your every move, just in case something bad happened to you. and i took pictures, lots and lots of pictures.

i thought that if everyone in the school saw your pictures, they would think you were a freak, or a slut, simply making stories up for attention. but mattia wouldn't leave you alone, even through all that, so i had to think bigger.

that night we were all at kairi's house, i knew you wouldn't want to go home. i could've easily had you stay over at my house, but i wanted you at kairi's. i saw the way he would glance over at you and mattia with a jealous stare. i know it, because i did it too.

so i set up my camera and waited for him to make his move while you guys studied together. when kairi kissed you, it felt like my heart was being shattered into a million pieces. i wanted to kill kairi, right then and there. i knew mattia would feel the same way.

but while i was leaving his house in anger, i noticed his dad sneaking out the front door, so i followed him. i watched as he met up with kenzie's dad in a parking lot, and i found out about their secret relationship. i took pictures, and i threatened kenzie and kairi's family into helping me.

but listen, i'm not a bad person for doing that. i had to do it to continue on with the plan, and i really needed their help. it's not my fault, i just had to save you.

but my plan wasn't completely done, i needed david's help. i knew he had been caught for stealing cars before, and this would be easy for him. so i threatened him with his nudes. sending naked pictures in the school bathroom is actually a crime, little did he know.

everything was ready. i followed you and mattia into the woods and called david to steal the car while you were swimming. while mattia went to get help, you were supposed to get in the car with kairi's dad, and come straight to me. but mattia came back too fast, and everything fell apart. david was caught and you were both sent home to your parents.

i thought i had lost you, lost everything. and when you texted me to say you couldn't hang out because you were with mattia, i hid in his yard and watched as he took your virginity. i couldn't stand the pain anymore. i wanted to die, i wanted it to be over. you were all to him.

as soon as you walked into that party, i wanted to scream at you for everything you did to me. but during truth or dare, you kissed me. you actually kissed me. and in that moment, i felt as if my life was actually worth living. i knew you were in love with me."
