I don't know how feel anymore, I am so numb. My mom shipped me off to my aunt's right after my best-friends funeral which she didn't attend. I miss my Grace, she is who got through all the bad that has happened in my life. If only i saw her message earlier. Would i have been able to save her? At least i know we would have been together, what ever that entailed.
Flashback
I finallly glance down at my phone to figure out what is taking Grace so long to get to the library to me with our final scince project of the year that we got today.
"Help... he's here..." -Grace's phone
"Bring a teacher... 2nd floor girls bathroom" -Grace's phone
"I am so scared Lili... save me" -Grace's phone
"Lili... i love you and...." - Grace's phone
" Hello little sis, have you missed me haha... you can't run from me forever i will get you." -Grace's phone
"Oh and you want to come talk to you best-friend before she is gone... haha lol... see you soon my beautiful Lylia." -Grace's phone
'Oh no he is here and he hurt her.' I think to myself as I jump up and sprint to where Grace said she was. As soon as i reach the door i see a bloody hand print on it. I slam the door open only to be hit with the smell of iron. Laying under the last sink I spot Grace surround by a pool of crimson decorated with glass shards from the mirrors above.
"GRACE!" I yell and run to her, I kneel in the vermillion blood not caring about the glass mixed in. "Grace can you here me... I am so sorry i should have never dragged you into this... I love you Grace, Please hang on."
I pull out my phone and call 911 telling the operator that I need an ambulance to come to Hudson High School.Leaving out the threats my brother sent. I finally hang up after they say they will be here a soon as possible, when I look down at her I see her face is covered in splinters of glass as if her face was smashed into the mirror a hand full of times. "I'm so sorry Grace if only i was here sooner" say as I lean my head down on her chest. All a sudden i feel a hand on my back, i sit up a see Grace painfully smiling at me but she doesn't open her eyes.
"Lili." she whisper clearly struggling to make any sound. " It's not your fault this happened, I am happy I knew the real you... Please promise me to keep fighting to live and be alive." She pauses for a moment to catch her breath. " I love you so much Lili.... besties forever even after death does us apart remember."
" Don't talk like that you are going to be fine help is on the way hang on. " I cry.
"You and I both I am going to die right here in this stupid school's bathroom, it's okay i have accepted it... but you need to leave this town before it claims you too... three is enough... he doesn't deserve to take anymore from you anymore."
Crying I tell her I promise. She mouths 'I love you' then her hand slides from my back and hits the floor limp. I couldn't hear her rough breathing anymore and she stopped responding to my voice. She's gone, he took some one else I love. I lay next to her holding her dead body in my hands for a moment and then I get up and leave to the bathroom as the paramedics arrive. One tries to stop me but i just keep walking, wanting to be left alone. I reach the front school doors and i just clasp on the stairs outside crying as look at my best-friends blood stained on my hands.
