Beds are not roses,I will avenge

"I didn't choose this life, and neither did I ever think of planning against someone or being the one to be full of pain and vengeance. Hmm, truly villains are made and not born."

It was supposed to be a day I'd forever keep in mind. A day that'll be kept as one of the memorable moments in my teen life as I will soon leave high school and continue my life with happiness, with people I love and have fun with my best friend and be the most supportive and loving friend so I thought. It was also a special day for me because I had to prepare for the next day, which was my birthday. Unfortunately, fate had it own way of putting things in 'order'. Fate took one thing I cherished most from me . I never expected that one person I doted on. That one person who was willing to do everything just to see me glow and grow gracefully was taken away from me in a harsh manner.

My fate and happiness crushed on that very day .....

I stood by my best friend Zane's lifeless body lying by plant .

"Of all places, why did you both come here, Ella? " I asked my cousin who looked pale .

" I....I don'ttt know ...I was just angry ....and he was trying to force himself on me, and i didn't want that to happen, believe me" Ella stuttered.

Knowing Zane , he is the most sweetest person I have encountered my whole life. Telling me he'll hurt a fly will even surprise me . But trying to rape someone? not just anyone but my cousin? That's so out of line. I can bet on my life that he'll never do this. But now wasn't the time I had to reminisce.

"You don't know ? For Christ sake he's all I have!! I said, panting with anger and tears .How could you do this to me ? What are you going to do ? What are you going to tell your parents and our family as well ?...and what will I do when I see Zane's mom ? He's all she has.....great now what are we supposed to do . We can't just give a random excuse as to why Zane is lying down breathless. And I'll never leave him.

"Please don't tell anyone, please. Just let this be between you and I " Ella's pleaded.

No Ella's we can't do that , my voice was cracked as the tears streamed down. I was in pain. I promised Zane I'd be by his side.

And now he wasn't breathing . He lied there lifeless in a pool of blood.

" I have to call the police and we'll explain to them that it was a mistake" I suggested.

"No you will do no such thing "

We both turned to the voice, and face to face was Daniel, who looked at both of us and stood by Ella, covering her up. And caressing her back. Now, that was weird.

Wait a damn minute ? My crush ? Daniel ? What the heck is he doing here . I thought Ella told me Daniel was preparing to ask me out tomorrow so he won't be available?. And what is going on? I always tell Ella about my crush on him, so why is he in a compromised position with her.?

Now, what is happening?

"No Daniel , we have to find a way to tell them. He is my best friend. Of course, I won't allow us to dump him somewhere and claim he's missen or something. I interjected.

"You won't do that "... Daniel retorted.

"I will" I retaliated.

" For fuck sake , Tasha do you only care about him ? I'm your cousin you should be by my side." Ella voiced out in anger. Now, what triggered that anger ? Am I not supposed to be the one in her shoes ?.

"And so you will never do that" she added.

" I thought you had a crush on Daniel only, but this attitude of yours is making me think you like your so-called best friend more."

It's such a coward and a snitch.

"Oh, please don't try to bring this up . I might have a crush on him, but Zane comes first before anyone else." I had to explain.

"No one ever cared like Zane did , I will call the cops and explain everything to them cause this can't be how I'll leave Zane."

Now I can't think of anything. Though she's my cousin but I won't let Zane go just like that .

"Now watch me do it " I said, trying to look for my phone to call the cops.

"Daniel please help me . Please do something to stop her. I can't go to prison , my career will be cut short. Everyone will point their hands on me. I won't marry the love of my life. And again, I'll look bad. i won't be pretty again . I will be stigmatized. I looked up at them and shook my head wiping off the tears and with that i dialled to call the cops but the next thing I felt was blood crawling on the skin of my neck and my phone smashed to the ground.

"What are you ..... doing" I held the back of my head and I could feel blood on my hands. I was feeling dizzy, but I could see Daniel holding a vase and looking at me coldly. The only question that kept ringing in my head was, " Is this the Daniel I crushed so hard on ? is he the one I wanted so badly?.

" Now you'll be a pawn to us ". Was the last thing I heard before darkness overpowered me.
