Prologue

"Needy! Please don't leave me! Please...come back!"

A girl is seen, tears in her eyes trying to run after a striding figure in front of her. She suddenly trips and falls, hitting the ground soundly. Although she felt pain stinging her hands and knees, she pushes herself up to her knees and droops her head as tears hit the ground. The figure, hearing her fall and quietly crying, looks back at the girl with a frown on her face. Stepping swiftly, she comes to stop in front of the sobbing girl, staring down at her with a cold indifference in her eyes. Crouching to her knees, she looked at the girl and suddenly grasped her chin roughly in her callous hands.

The girl stared her and whispered harshly, "And why should I, Jennifer? It's not like you care for me or anything. You never show me any affection. All you ever do is fuck me for nothing. I've always been nice to you, always protected you, and what do I get in return? A load of your crap. You never liked me, you never tried once to at least be a best friend to me. Not at least until after you discovered that I'm dating Chip. This is good-bye Jennifer."

The figure let go of her chin and continued to stare at her.

The girl on the floor, shuttered violently at the name as it was spat out with disgust. Lifting her head up, she looked at the figure outlined in the mysterious darkness engulfing itself around them. With tears in her eyes, she stared at her.

"No. Please Needy. You've got to believe me. I never tried to hurt you. And I'm really s-sorry. I just...I don't know. But,....I think..I..I..love-

Needy looked back at the stuttering girl with a smirk on her face that reached up to her cold eyes.

"What? Love Me? Yeah Right! You expect me to believe that? If that's what you believe, then you're really stupider then I thought. You think I'll just say, 'I love you too' and it'll all be better? Well get a life Jennifer! And see if you can figure this one out through your fucking head....I...Hate...You! Now leave me alone. Forever!"

Jennifer began to feel a cold hollow spot form in her chest. Like something was gone. Something special. With a crumbling expression of determination on her face, she looked up at her.

"But...you're my bestfriend...."

Needy smirked coldly, "Your bestfriend? Forget it, I don't love you anymore. From this moment on, I'm breaking the engagement. In fact, I think now I'll love Chip even more. He's much more loveable than you. He never hesitates in telling me that he love me. He'd do anything for me. Not you. All you've ever done is hurt me."

Jennifer looked shocked as she looked down at the ground, "But Needy! I'm telling you now. I want to care for you.....I want to tell you my feelings...."

Needy sneered, "Why should I care, Jennifer? You're nothing to me. Don't you get it? I don't care about you anymore. I did once, when I was still a young fool in love, but only then did I realize that you never loved me. No, you despised me. Even when we made love so many times before, you still only abused me.

I would be nice to you, and you would just continue to hurt me. And it didn't end there, no, you would continue to try and put me down as if I were a lesser being then you because I'm just a low-life . When Chip came into the picture, it only got worse. You continued to imply that it was my fault that Chip came after me, trying to show his love and appreciation toward me. You got jealous of him, and you got jealous of me.

You were always jealous of my skill, you hated me for it. And, now that I've seen the truth I decided that I just don't love you anymore. I can't. I have Chip anyway; I'll just him more, and not you."

Giving one last cold stare at the trembling girl, she stood erect, and began to walk away.

Jennifer continued to quiver with each sob. But, as she heard footsteps leading away, her shivering stopped in half sob as she jerked her eyes up to look into the darkness. Tears in her eyes, she saw that her bestfriend, the woman she loved had turned away from her. Not only had she lost her now, but she had become a miserable and pitiful cheerleader.

She had been degraded to this position where she had just been a bestfriend. But a loved one. Now, she was loved by no one. She wasn't loved back by the woman she loved. Not any more any ways. With a strangled sob, she stared at her back, her heart pierced and cold. Normally, she would just ignore her drama act, but now she couldn't even stand. No, it hurt too much to even be mad. Now she could only feel despair as she felt all the words she said begin to have a ring of truth to them. She glanced hard at her hands for a moment.

She had hurt her with these hands of hers. She had abused her, annoyed her, and downed her so many times. As she thought back, she began to realize that some of the times she abused her, it wasn't even her was just being nice to her. She had even forgiven her for it. She never hit her. Never hurt her. She even saved her a few times. Many times actually. But she still had only rejected her. No wonder she didn't love her. It all made sense.

Fluttering her eye lashes, she felt another tear drop fall, landing on her clutched hand. It was strange, she thought. She knew she had been crying, but that one particular tear made her realize what was happening. To realize that she was crying.

Yes, this had happened before. But.....never had it hurt so much. Never had she felt such pain. Not since her father died had it ached so much. It was funny in a way, she though wryly, she had vowed to never let herself cry from pain again like that time so many years ago. She had vowed to always be strong, to never show any weaknesses. And, she had succeeded for years. Then she came. she came and took away her mask of strength she replaced it with the mask of a bestfriend. A mask which she refused.

Later on, she tried to refuse the feelings that had grown on her. She tried to deny the love she felt. But it was to avail. She became one of Needy's many admirers. Her iron wall against any feelings was broken down, degraded into dust. She wanted to laugh at it. Laugh at her sadness and how pathetic she was acting. Maybe hoping it would go away. But she knew it would never happen. There was no escape out of this web she had created. No, this was the end. She could never have the woman she loved back. She was gone to her. Lost to love someone else.

"Needy...but...I...please stop..."

Needy still continued to walk off into the distance.

"Forget it. We're not bestfriends anymore, and you have no control of me. I'm gonna do what I want. Find someone who gives a crap about what you think. Who will actually care what happens to you. Good-bye."

As Needy walked off in the distance, Jennifer looked up. When she did, a figure approached Needy, almost seeming to materialize out of the thick black blanket of darkness surrounding them. As they came closer, Jennifer could make out the face of the figure. Chip.

Normally, she would just ignore them and date somebody. But...now it was different. She wasn't her bestfriend anymore. She didn't care how she felt. She was on her own. She stared on at the young woman with sorrow in her eyes. Sorrow that she was nothing to her.

As Chip reached her, his face grew into a wicked grin. Turning around, Needy looked directly at the awed girl. With her face in a smirk, she grasped the hand of Chip and pulled him close to her. Lying on his chest, they did not waste their time making things worse for Jennifer. As soon as she laid against his chest, he looked up with happiness in his eyes, lust and love mixed as one. Needy, responding, grasped her shoulders and pulled closer. With one final cold stare, she began to walk away with Chip grasped in one arm.

Jennifer, still in shock, shook her head and gasped as she realized that Needy was leaving. Still shocked, she felt her hands jump to her face. She couldn't lose her. Not to that pencil dick Chip. It was just all wrong....she...was supposed to be with her....Jumping up to her feet, she ran toward the duo. Although she ran fast, they only seemed to disappear into the distance even faster. They always seemed to evade her. Finally, they were only a dot in the distance, and soon, they vanished from her sight.

Still running, Jennifer began to slow down until she finally stopped and dropped to the ground, on her knees, crying her heart out. Feeling the pain increase in her heart, she dropped to her knees until she was face flat on the ground, gasping at each sob. It hurt, she realized. This was a pain that would remain there forever in her heart. It was killing her. Both emotionally and mentally. She didn't know how she could still be living with this much pain. All she could do now was lay on the ground and gasp out.

Jennifer curled up into a fetal ball as tears leaked from her eyes, "No....Please....Needy....come back...don't leave me alone...It....it hurts too much....Needy...."

Suddenly a raven-haired girl with short-cropped hair jerked up in her bed flushed with cold sweat, her heart pounding.

Opening her mouth, she let out a silent scream. Sitting there for several minutes, clutching her sheets in her fist, she felt her heart slowly begin to beat back to normal. Closing her golden brown eyes, she nestled her head between her hands, trying to erase the dream from her mind. Falling back into her bed, she shuddered thinking of her nightmare.
