Chapter Three : To be or not to be? No never to be.
I woke up, I was about to say I am going to school, but I quit ever since Jasmine died, There was no happiness anymore. I opened my wardrobe, filled with regret, why did I even accept that gift the devil gave me? I could of shoved it back in his face!
I pulled out a red v- necked top, with dark blue jeans and my black boots, Perfect! I heard a knock on the door, I quickly got a knife and stuck it in my jean pocket. I moved cautiously to the door and got ready to strike.
“Come in” I called, poised to strike.
The door opened, I dropped the knife, I heard it clatter to the floor, and it was Adam.
“Whoa there, I’m not a serial killer” He joked, smiling.
“Course you’re not” I said, laughing.
We looked into each others eyes, feeling like there was only us in that room, he came closer to me.
“We can’t do this” He whispered softly, turning away.
“Why, don’t you love me?” I said, tears stinging my eyes.
He walked slowly and silently, all I could hear was the door slamming and he was gone. I stand there motionless, my mouth wide open, I lean against a wall, in a crumpled heap, sobbing, what had I done?
***The next day***
I woke up, finding myself in bed, I was on the floor last night! Ugh, my hair was a mess, I got into a shower, feeling the cool water on my body was soothing. I wrapped the towel around me, I walked to the wardrobe, put on a lilac top, and blue jeans, with black high heels. I didn’t need to dry my hair, as it would dry in 60 seconds.
I know hes watching, I cant come to terms, why I'm still alive, oh yeah it was because of Adam. The devil could of killed me right there and then, but no. Oh my god can you hear yourself; your losing it, got to pull myself together.
I heard the doorbell ring, I went and opened the door. I stood there transfixed by who, or should I say what.
“You shouldn’t just expect anyone” I heard a cold voice say.
The devil’s hand was against my throat, I could not breathe, I spluttered and tried to break free. My eyes slowly closed, as I fell against the wall, sprawled on the floor.
*A few hours later*
“Ashley?” I heard a voice say.
“Yeah?” I grumbled, opening my eyes slowly, everything was blurry, I could just make out Adam in the Distance.
“Are you alright?” He asked, Lifting me up on the sofa.
“Kinda, My head wont stop buzzing” I said, slightly disorientated.
I watched him as he went into the kitchen, he brought me a red drink.
“Drink, It will help with the pain” He said soothingly, pressing a flannel to my forehead.
“Thanks, wow you could get a job as a Doctor” I joked, taking a sip of the drink.
“Feeling better?” he asked, laughing.
“Much” I smiled.
“Ashley, I have something to tell you” He looked down, fiddling with the buttons on his shirt.
“What?” I asked, intrigued.
“Urmm, I don’t know how to say this, I have been in love with you, the moment I met you” He whispered.
“Me too” I blushed.
There was a long silence, as we looked into each others eyes, he caressed me, At that moment I know it was love, He leaned in to kiss me, it was soft and gentle, like heaven itself.
He turned around to leave.
“Wait, don’t leave me here…. Please” I said desperately.
I sat on the bed, he sat with me, we kissed, nothing was sweeter then this, I slept peacefully, I woke with a start.
I ran to the toilet vomiting, little did I know Adam was behind me.
“Are you alright?” He whispered
“No, not really. I think I ate something," I paused, "Real bad." I said holding back the vomit.
I looked in the mirror, I turned around.
“Looks like someone’s having a bad day” I heard a cold voice say.
