Chapter Seven:
Freddy dropped onto his knees next to the raven haired girl, he examined her face...Pale and
lifeless. Katie ran into the room to see what was the matter only to be stopped in her tracks, her
eyes quickly filled with tears.
"What's the matter with her?" Katie asked
"I have no idea....Ask Billy" Freddy said, his cheeks reddening from anger
"Why him?" Katie asked
"He's the one who did this too her" Freddy said
"What the hell did you do to my best friend, Billy?" Katie asked, grabbing the much smaller boy and pinning him against the nearest wall
"N-nothing" Billy stuttered
"Liar! Tell me the truth! What the fuck did you do to Summer?" Katie asked, hysterically
"She overdosed...She took too much Cocaine, okay? She went overboard" Billy said, quickly
"Where did she get the drugs?" Katie asked
"I..Um..I" Billy said, stopping
"You gave them to her?! I am so going to kill you!" Katie yelled
"Stop! Clam down, Katie. How much did she take exactly?" Zack asked, holding a struggling
Katie back
"About half the bag...Take away what is still on the ground and counter" Billy said
"Jesus Christ...How stupid are you?" Tomika asked
"Not too stupid" Billy said, smiling
"Don't even try to make a smart comment like that now" Alicia said "I can beat you down way
better than Katie can and she knows it"
"She can" Katie said, through clenched teeth
"You guys...Quit fighting and help me" Freddy said, walking out of the bathroom
"Is she okay?" Zack asked
"No...She's not breathing" Freddy said, shaking his head consantly
"I'll go call 911" Lawrence said, running down the staircase
"We need to get her downstairs" Freddy said
"Okay" Marta said
"I'll carry her down, you guys get the couch ready and tell everyone to leave...That is unless they want to be questioned by the police" Freddy said, quietly
"I'm on it" Billy said, running downstairs
Freddy walked back into the room. He then slowly and very carefully picked up Summer. She felt as light as a feather, as light as air. But, when Freddy got to the top of the staircase he started panicking. What if it was too late? What if Summer is already dead? Thinking these terrible things, Summer suddenly felt like a bag of bricks. Starting to panic even more, Freddy started hearing someone telling him to keep going forward, not to go down the staircase.
"Freddy watch out!" Katie yelled
Before he could realized what was happening, it was too late....Freddy hadn't seen the corner
table and flower vase in front of him. And before he could stop himself, Freddy tripped sending
Summer's body over the top of the staircase. He didn't know what had just happened, that is until he heard a crash and the very familiar girly scream of Billy.
"Freddy! You killed her!" Billy yelled
Getting on him feet, Freddy frantically ran down the staircase and saw what he had done...
Summer had crashed through the table at the bottom of the staircase and landed on the cement
statue next to it...He stood over Summer, starting to cry...He had killed her. Grabbing her hand it felt cold and limp. Dropping onto the floor, Freddy pulled his knees up to his chest and planted his head in his arms...He had never cried this hard before...He was a murdered...He had killed the only girl who understood him.
"She's dead, she's dead. I killed her" Freddy whimpered
"No...Freddy..Her heart is still beating" Katie exclaimed
"R-really?" Freddy said, choking on his words
"It's beating very slowly" Katie said
"That means that it's bad, but she is still alive" Zack said
Freddy tried to smile at the news, but couldn't bring himself too. He felt like he had still killed
Summer. He stayed in the same position until the ambulance came...And after they left. He
wanted to stay like that forever, but knew he couldn't. He needed to be there for Summer when
she woke up, that was if she didn't hate him...If she even remembered any of this.
"Let's go" Zack said, helping Freddy up
"Yeah, let's go" Freddy said, walking out of the home, going to see the girl who's life he might have ruined
