Chapter 10 She's dead

"If you're mad at me, say so. Don't get them into trouble between the two of us!" I shouted as I stood near the rooftop door.

I gasped for breath because I was suddenly overwhelmed when I found out what she was doing to a student.

She smirked loudly. "Do you think I'm afraid to call murderer by people?"

My forehead furrowed and I could not immediately answer because of what she said. I took a deep breath and settled down. "I know you're not." I smiled. "You are a strong woman I've ever met but I know you can't do this."

"Why not?" She moved the crying woman sitting on the railings of the rooftop.

"Because you are Chloe Seren Enriquez, the gorgeous bully but not a murderer," I still said calmly.

I can't explain what kind of expression Chloe is showing right now but I feel like she won't push that woman. I slowly took two steps closer to her.

"Let her go, Chloe. She's not like us. She's just a normal student who wants to graduate in this school," I said.

She looked at me for a long time with a meaningful look. She pursed her lips and then turned to the student beside her. She sighed before turning to me and smiled.

"Fine!" I smiled. "But..." She forced the woman to stand up so I lost my smile.

"Please! I don't want to die yet!" The woman said crying.

"What are you doing?" I asked in surprise as she turned to me and raised her hand.

She didn't answer me, instead she just glanced at me. I just hope I'm thinking wrong, I don't want her to do anything again. "Hey!"

I looked behind me and saw my friends with George. Chloe turned to us in no time, obviously not even surprised but she smiled.

"There. Complete... Hope you save her yourselves." She smiled foolishly and suddenly the surroundings slowed down.

"No way!"

My eyes widened as I quickly ran to where she was when she suddenly pushed the woman. Only the sound of my shoes could be heard along with the rapid beating of my heart as I watched that student fall. I don't know but I have no choice but to jump and try to reach the girl's arm. Finally, just as I reached for his arm, I felt someone hold my leg as well. I peeked to see who it was.

"Theon," I whispered.

I turned to the woman I was holding and tightened my grip on her even more and then smiled at her. "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

She shook her head as she cried. "I'm s-scared."

"Then, don't be," I answered in a whisper.

"J-just let me go. I'm ready to d-die right here." I just stared at her.

"I won't let you go no matter what. Don't be naughty."

Finally, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes as we were finally on the floor. I turned over to the woman and she was also lying down as her tears were dripping. I turned to Chloe who was laughing now with her friends. I quickly got up and went to her and I didn't hesitate to slap her hard, causing my palm to touch her cheek.

"How dare you?" She was about to slap me when I quickly stopped her so I slapped her on the other cheek.

"I'm so tired of you, Chloe!" I glared at her. "You're nothing but a complete trash."

She smirked loudly and then combed her hair with her fingers. "And this is your fault."

I couldn't answer right away so I turned to the people around us. "Can you leave us alone?"

They nodded except for Chloe's friends who looked at her first, fortunately, she also nodded so they quickly left. Meaningfully Theon looked at me so I just nodded and smiled slightly, saying I was just okay.

"It wasn't my fault." I immediately said when they left. She frowned at me.

"What?"

I turned around and went to the rooftop railings. "We both know that it wasn't my fault." I turned to her. "It's your fault in the beginning."

I was expecting this, that she would kick me and slap me but I couldn't stop it. I was surprised when her tears suddenly dripped.

"It wasn't my fault that he didn't love me back. We both know that he's my first love but you took him away from me!" He took a step between us. "It's your fault. It's your fault!"

"Why? Did you know that I'm his first and last love?" Her forehead furrowed. "I know you love him dearly. But isn't it, when you love someone you think of his pleasure?"

"I know. That's why I did everything to make him mine so that we could be happy forever... But you stole him from me."

"I didn't. You were just jealous." I just shook my head. "If I can't change your mind right now, then I should leave. I'm wasting my time for a complete trash like you."

I had already left there but I still could not touch the doorknob when she suddenly pulled my hair and pulled me towards the railings. I lost my balance so I didn't retaliate immediately so she suddenly strangled me.

I can't breathe. I will fall. I tried to remove her hand from my neck but she was stronger now. I looked into her eyes and I could see the anger and pain there.

"You should die right here! This time, theon is mine. And no one can stop me from making him mine!" She said angrily to me.

I can't breathe.

I didn't expect what she did next. My eyes widened when she pushed me hard causing me to fall off the rooftop. And then, my surroundings got to slow motion all of a sudden as I looked at the girl smiling upstairs while I still struggled to reach my hand to her.

Past memories. Suddenly the past entered my mind. What happened then.

"Jay! Oh my god! Are you okay? Can you stand up and walk? Tell me!" I asked one question after another as I started to cry.

"What are you doing here?" He asked weakly.

I blinked. "Of course, to save you." He just smiled. "Let's go before they come back. I'll help you."

I helped him up and led him on my shoulder but we were only a few steps away, Chloe and her paid people entered. We stepped slowly until we were just leaning back.

"Do you think I will let you go like this?" She laughed. "You'll die here before you escape from me."

"Hey, Chloe! Just let us go!" I shouted when she stepped but stopped also.

She grinned. "In exchange of what?"

My heart beat faster when we didn't realize she was close. She looked at Jay. "Love me back and I'll spare her life." She stroked Jay's cheek so I quickly removed it.

"You promise me, right?" Crying I told her. "Do not leave me." Please.

He stroked my cheek and then smiled as our tears flowed. He turned to Chloe.

"I can leave her. I can say that I don't love her. I can die for her..." Chloe smiled. "But I can't love you back like what you want."

She lost her sweet smile. "What did you say?" Her gaze changed. If before it seemed like it was still happy, now it seems like it will start a fire because of anger.

"Just let us go, Chloe. Aren't you tired? We were friends back then but you betrayed me because of your jealousy," I said pleasing her just to spare our lives.

"B-why? Of all people, why you?" Her tears flowed. "I considered you as my sister but... every time I like someone, why do they like you instead of me?"

"Don't ask me. Ask yourself instead." I was already supporting Jay but suddenly the men pulled me away.

"What? Let me go!" I struggle. Chloe looked at me, Jay in front of her leaning against the railings.

"Jay choose to die instead of loving me back." She grinned. "I know it will hurt you so much, scarlet. But don't worry, that will go away too."

My eyes widened when she suddenly pushed Jay causing him to fall from here on the rooftop. No way! I quickly ran over there and peeked at him below.

"Jayyyyyyy!" I shouted as my tears flowed like a river.

My tears flowed and I felt like my heart was slowly breaking because of the pain I was feeling. The pain of seeing that the person you love is lying on the ground while the blood is flowing from his head.

What will I do? The pain is visible. I can't do it. I can't do it! I just closed my eyes and slowly sat down, shedding almost a bucket of tears, chasing the breath, the heartache.

"Is it hurt so much, Scarlet?" I saw her tears drip when I turned to her.

"You bitch, a trash, a m-murderer," I whispered and glared at her. "I will make you p-pay for what you did... not now but soon."

I quickly got up and went down the rooftop to go to Jay. The person I love is lying on the floor now, I don't know what to do. I didn't know if I would approach him or call an ambulance. The pain sees it.

"Jay?" I whispered when I could get close to him. I caressed his face, his body, his arm that I was shaking.

"Jay? Please, w-wake up. D-don't leave me like this. Please. Stay with me, don't leave. Don't leave." I hugged him while my tears continued to flow.

"I love you so much, Jay. Don't l-leave me, please. How can I... how can I live now?" I whispered while still hugging him.

I will make her pay for what she did to Jay. I will make sure she is imprisoned until she dies. I will not let her be happy. I also promise you Jay, what happened to you will never happen to others, I will never let her again.

"J-Jay! Jay! Please, don't be like this! Jay!" My loud shout caused his name to echo around.

"Darling! Oh my god! I'm glad you're awake!" Mommy and grandma hugged me on either side of me.

I also hugged mommy. "Mommy?" I called her with tears on my cheeks. "Jay is dead, mommy!" I added more.

"I know. I know." She stroked my hair. "It's been two years, darling."

I immediately pulled away from her and frowned at her. "What do you mean?"

A bead of mommy's tears dripped. "Darling, it's been almost two years since he died."

My eyes widened a little and I quickly looked around. I was in a small room, I think I was in the hospital. I cried even more because of that, it was just a dream. I even covered my face with my two palms. My chest hurt because I remember that now.

Nurses and doctors came to check on me. They said I was fine except for a broken bone in my arm and leg. Mommy forced me to lie down so that I could rest but I really didn't want to.

Suddenly the door opened and daddy was born in a hurry. He immediately approached me. "My daughter! Oh my god!" He hugged me tightly.

"Daddy," I whispered.

"Are you okay?" He asked me worriedly. "Is anything wrong with you? How is your body? Your arm and leg? Tell me."

I smiled. "I'm fine. My arm and leg... are a little sore."

He hugged me again and stroked my hair so I hugged him too. "Don't worry about me anymore, dad. I'm fine."

"Did Chloe do this to you again?" He asked. I did not answer. "The hell!"

"Dad," I whispered. He turned to me. "Let's leave her. We can't do anything about it."

He looked at me for a long time. "I'll talk to my father about this. She needs a lesson." Daddy came out of the room to call grandpa.

I just let out a deep breath before turning to mommy and holding her hand. "I'm sorry, mom. I made you worried about me too much."

She smiled and held my hand as well. "Don't worry, it's okay. And it's normal because you're my daughter."

I just smiled too but when I remembered something, I frowned at mommy. "Mom?"

"Yes, darling?"

"How did I get here? I mean, I fell from the rooftop and I just got injured." Her forehead furrowed. "Ah, don't get me wrong, I'm just curious."

"Well, villareal students saved you, son. You don't have to worry because they're fine." My forehead furrowed.

"What do you mean, mom?"

She raised an eyebrow before standing up. "They catch you. I don't know exactly but I'm sure they took care of your head so that you couldn't be injured in the head."

"I also heard from your grandfather..." I looked at my grandmother. "They tried to take care of your body but Chloe's friend pushed them, that's why you're lying down here and got injured."

I just scratched my forehead. That's what happened, because I don't remember. I think I lost consciousness because of the extreme nervousness and fear I felt. Only now did I know that it was possible.

"She's really crazy," I whispered. Mommy just stroked my hair and laid me down.

"You need to rest, son. The doctors will check you again later." I just approached them and waited for them to get out of the room.

I looked at my cemented arm and peeked at my cemented leg. I just close my eyes with so much annoyance. When will it be removed? How can I get into school?

Chloe Seren Enriquez, I'm so done with you! This time, I will never let you hurt me again.

The next day, I woke up because I felt like someone else was in my room. I also felt like someone was staring at me so I immediately opened my eyes and saw Theon staring at me.

His eyes widened and he quickly stood up, he immediately approached the side table and pretended to fix something. I laughed at his actions so he looked at me and straightened up. I sat down and he immediately supported me.

"Thanks," I smiled at him and peeked behind him. I saw my friends chatting. I turned my gaze back to Theon.

"Have you been here before?"

He nodded "No. We just arrived." He turned his back. "Hey, she's awake!"

My friend immediately approached me and immediately hugged me. I pulled my arm away from them because it was a bit painful.

"Yah! Stop! Please, my arm and leg." I said to the two of them and pushed them hard with my other arm.

"Oops! Sorry, scarlet." Even Cathy. Alexa just scratched her head.

"Why did you take so long to wake up? Did you know we've been here before? We didn't even eat because he said, this is all for you. He's so mean." Alexa said

"Are you still there?" I looked at theon. "But he said, you just arrived."

"Tss! Believe me there." Even Cathy. "Anyway, we have bad news for you."

I frowned "What is it?"

"Scarlet..." Alexa whispered. "Chloe spreads all over Villareal that you can't live anymore. In short, she spreads that you are already dead."

"What?"

That bitch! She really wants me to die, if that what she wants, I won't let her spread that all over the world. She was really ready for me when I came back from school. Her life is miserable but I will make her life more miserable when I get back.
