Chapter Four
Grief
She was past weeping, wrapped in the ineffable solitude of grief -Lady Mabell Airlie
A sharp pain hit her right in her heart that she literally clutches onto her shirt and grabbed hold of the table to keep herself from falling. Her mother dropped her glass of tea and reached out when she thought her daughter was going to fall.
"Bianca, are you alright" she asked in a worried tone. It looked like her daughter was having a heart attack by the way she looked and acted.
Bianca was very pale and her chest and stomach were hurting really badly that it was hard to breathe. She looked at her mother's worried face, not to mention the faces that were surrounding them to see if she was ok. "Yeah, I'm fine" she said, getting up from the table "I have to go"
She ran off without even a good-bye to her mother. "Bianca, wait, what's wrong!" Her mother shouted out to her.
Bianca didn't know why her chest was hurting or why she suddenly has to run back to her apartment, but something was wrong. Very wrong.
Jake parked the jeep behind an abandon building and just sat there, tightening his grip on the wheel so hard his hands were turning white. The evil, sinful deed was done and he knew right away he was going to burn for all eternity in hell for this. He stared at his cousins and as if killing Matt wasn't bad enough, they went down to what's left of the body and robbed him.
"Check this out Jake" Kevin said, shoving something right into Jake's face.
Jake's eye twitches as he stared at Kevin's blood soaked hand that is holding a bloodstained sliver watch. "It's a watch, now get your damn hand out of my face" he said.
"No, no, look at the back of the watch" Kevin said.
"Yeah, the little dead Bastard had something engrave in it" Andy said, snickering a little bit as he held onto Matt's wallet.
Kevin dropped the bloody watch in Jake's hands and he stared at the message.
Bianca:
my Past,
Present and
Future.
-Matt
"And just when I thought this guy couldn't get any cornier" Andy said.
"We need to hide this watch" Jake said, shivering. "We need to hide this, now"
"Are you kidding, that a cool watch" Kevin said
"You don't understand, if Bianca finds this watch, we're as good as dead" Jake said.
Kevin smacked Jake in the back of the head "Now you're just over exaggerating, now shut up and lets go home"
"But"
"Shut up and drive" Andy shouted.
Jake sighed and shifted the jeep into drive mood and drove home.
Anna paced back and forth in her apartment nervously waiting for her cousins to get home. She was biting her nail til there was nothing left on her fingers.
"Why are you so nervous?"
She turned to the "Traitor" that told her about the plan in the first place. He, too, was here waiting for the news if Matt was dead or not. She started calling him "Traitor" since she thought it was funny that one of Bianca's friends was helping her out with her predicament. "Why wouldn't I be nervous? It's not every day you wake up and plan a murder and kill the guy the same day"
"That doesn't mean you have to keep pacing back and forth and chewing your nails off"
Anna gave him a sour look then went back to her pacing "What's taking them so long" she wondered.
"They only been gone for two hours" the Traitor said
She gave him another sour look and then to the floor. (Come on Kevin, where are you) she thought then something hit her. Why should she be worry since after all death is meaningless in this world. We live, we die and then we're tossed like trash into a mass graveyard.
"Do you have anything to eat beside stale cereal" the boy asked
"No, it was easier before with Matt, but I guess we have to go back to stealing it now" Anna said.
He sighed and closed the fridge door. "Let's just hope they didn't get caught or your death won't be pretty"
"What do you mean it won't be pretty? No one cares if another person dies" she snapped "We'll just say the boy was eaten by zombies"
"I know one person who cares and if she finds out about this there will be no mercy" He said.
Anna scoffed "Please, if my cousins can kill Matt no sweat then she'll be a piece of cake"
He started to laugh "you're stupid to believe that" he said. Anna looked at him and for some reason her heart started to pounding. He was giving her that look that read "Be afraid, be very afraid" "you heard about the level each person in the entire country has, the number in the back of your neck" he asked
She nodded and rubbed the back of her neck where her number was painfully tattoo in. "The highest level is a Twenty and that's what she is, a twenty, and there is mistake about it either. I saw her kill a full grown man because the bastard was about to kill the one and only person she loves. What made it even more shocking was the fact that she had a deep stab wound on her arm and stomach"
Anna didn't believe him or didn't want to believe him but she turns away so he wouldn't see her lips trembling. "You're going to tell her are you" she asked, skimming the room for any heavy object she could hit him with.
"No, if I talk, you'll tell her that I was involved before she sent you to your early grave" he said.
She was still looking for something to hit him with when the door open and her cousins walked in. She sighs in relief and snapped at them "It's about time you got here!"
Jake, who was very pale, calmly walked past her without a word escaping his lips and over to the bathroom. He calmly shut the door and the next thing the others heard was him vomiting. "Uh . . . I take it the plan went well" Anna asked.
Kevin showed her his bloodstained hands and smirked "There's nothing left of him expect for a few bones and part of his head"
"And this" Andy said, holding up the wallet and the watch. "Nothing much in the wallet, just $40 and we can't sell the watch"
"The Retard had to engrave it with Bianca's name" Kevin said.
The Traitor snatched the watch away from Andy and looked at the engraving. "Hey, that's mine" Andy shouted.
"It's mine now" He said, putting the watch on despite the blood on it.
"Fucker, I want that wat-" Anna covered Andy's mouth. "Shut up Andy" she said.
"What's he doing here anyway" Kevin said "Shouldn't he be with Bianca for the bad news?"
"I'm going there right now, I just want to make sure you guys didn't screw up" He said.
"Well, he's dead so get out of here" Anna said "keep the watch, but you have to promise us you're not going to tell"
"I always keep my word" He said, heading out of the door.
As soon as he was out of the door, Jake came out of the bathroom as pale as white paper.
"You ok Jake" Anna asked.
He took a deep breath "I'm going to hell"
"Hey Jake, check this out" Kevin said, raising his hand in the air. Jake stared at the dried blood on Kevin's hands and slammed the bathroom door and started vomiting again.
Anna hit Kevin in the arm "Stop doing that, you know how sensitive he is"
"Sorry" He said.
"I wanted that watch, it was sliver" Andy said, "and how come he gets it"
"He'll talk if he doesn't get what he wants"Anna said. "But that's not the point, what happened to Matt and I want details"
"Give me a minute to wash my hands" Kevin said, walking over to the small sink.
"I still can't believe that guy is helping us, I thought he was Bianca's friend" Andy asked.
"Yeah, I always wonder what happened that made Jimmy be this way" Anna said. "But yet, I don't care"
Bianca stood in the middle of her small apartment. It was very quiet, a little warm and bright due to the sun setting. She was breathing heavily from running all the way over here. "Matt?" she called out.
She walked over to his room and noticed he wasn't in his bed. "Matt?" she called out again.
She walked over to his bed and sat down and looked out the small window. She might as well wait til he comes back so she can have a talk with him. She laid down on his bed and stared at the ceiling for a bit. She could smell his scent on the sheets, it was a mixture of that cheap shampoo and soap he always buys. She loves his scent, it was so rare and nice and very easy to recognize. She didn't know why she was thinking about stuff like his scent, but maybe it had to do with the fact that they made up and it showed her how much she missed him when he was gone. After a while she started to doze off and fell asleep.
"Mommy, I want you to meet my new friend" The ten-year-old Bianca said .
Her mother smiled and looked around "where is your little friend" she asked
Bianca turned to the left and realized Matt was hiding behind her "He's very shy"
She pulled him out from behind her and in front of her "This is my new friend Matt"
Her mother stared at the shy, pale, little boy as he shivered a bit "hi, I'm Matt"
She smiled "nice to meet you Matt, would you like something to drink"
He nodded, putting on a little smile and her mother walked over to the kitchen. "Come on Matt, I want you to meet my brother" Bianca said, grabbing Matt by the arm.
She was about to run but stopped dead in her tracks when she felt something warm and slimy when she grabbed Matt's arm. She pulled her hand away and looked down at it. There was blood on her hand, fresh, warm blood. She looked at her friend and noticed he was bleeding from sudden cuts that appeared on his body.
"Bianca!"
She quickly sat up on the bed after waking up from her weird dream. "Are you Ok" someone asked. She looked up to see Jimmy smiling down at her.
"Jimmy?" She said, "what are you doing here, and how did you get in"
"I knocked on your door five times til I realize it was unlocked and found you sleeping on Matt's bed." He said.
"Oh" she said, rubbing her head, she was getting a slight headache and her neck was a little sore. "What are you doing here anyway?"
"The food supplies are getting low so I thought we can go out to the nearest town to stock up" He said.
Bianca looked at the clock that was on the wall. It was only 7:30 and since it was spring, the sun was setting later. "I guess we can go" she said.
"Great, Garret and Kristine are already at the vehicle, all pack up and loaded" He smiled.
She yawed and got up and walked out of Matt's door. "By the way, have you seen Matt anywhere, the last time I saw him was this morning"
Jimmy stood there for a moment, fiddling with a sliver watch for a second before answering her. "No, I haven't seen him in days. Doesn't he hang out with that girlfriend of his"
"Not anymore, something happened and they broke up" Bianca said. "Anyway, I should find him before we leave"
"I'm sure he's doing something, we can go without him" Jimmy said.
"No, I rather go find him" She said, wanting to make sure where he was at and if he was safe or not.
"I'm sure he's fine, besides it's a big city and you know how much Kristine hates walking around the dead world in the dark" Jimmy said.
Bianca sighed "ok, it won't take that long anyway"
He smiled and let her out the door to the apartment. Her stomach started to feel like it was twisting as Jimmy and her walked out of the apartment and onto the street. She noticed something on his wrist. "Is that a new watch" she asked
"Yeah, I just bought it"
"How did it get red paint on it" she asked.
"I don't know, that's how I bought it but I'll wash it off when I get home" He said.
"Hmm" Bianca said as they continue their way to the front of the Lubbock Outpost where their friends and vehicle were waiting.
They made it to the vehicle where Garret and Kristine were waiting. Garret was loading up one of his shotguns and Kristine was just leaning against the side of the vehicle while drinking a water bottle. She spotted them walking over and smiled "Hey guys, it's about time you got here"
"Where's Matt" Garret asked.
"I don't know, the last time I saw him was this morning" Bianca said.
"Are we going to wait for him or leave" Kristine asked.
"We're going to leave, he's probably doing something anyway" Bianca said.
Kristine and Garret looked at each other and shrugged. "Ok then let's get going" Garret said.
The four gathered into the vehicle and Garret started it up. Bianca sat down on one of the small beds in the back, her stomach was acting up again and it was getting worse. Garret exits the main gate entrance with the gate door closing behind them. Now they were in the dead world once again. Bianca got use to being out here, she's not afraid of it anymore like she use to be. She remembered the time back in the Flagstaff Outpost when she was just barely realizing that harsh and insane training Boss had for her and Matt. After taking a swing a swing at him for calling her chubby again, she was hit in the face and was dragged out into the dead world. Her next training practice was returning home without the use of weapons. It was a good way to increase your agility, speed, and self-reliance without the use of weapons or that what Boss told her as he drove off laughing. Hours later, when she reached the Outpost gate, cut and bruise, Matt was waiting for her and from that experience made her realize if she can make it out there she can make it anywhere.
"So did you and Matt patch things up" Kristine whispered
Bianca snapped out of her thoughts and looked over at her friend "Yes, after the Zombie Game, he came home and we . . . talked" Bianca said, there's no way she was going to tell her about that night.
"Oh, well that's just great because I thought you were lying about him doing other things"
"I'm not lying, I haven't seen him all afternoon" Bianca said.
"Bianca, I'm going to stop at the nearest gas station, we're almost out of fuel" Garret shouted from the front.
"Where's the nearest gas station" Bianca asked
"I know one that is really close" Jimmy grinned. "Just turned left here on this street and it will take us to one that close to the small town"
Bianca's stomach started to feel like it was twisting again when she stared at Jimmy's smile. With great skills and bragging, Garret parked the giant vehicle next to the gas pump and shut it off. "There's no one in the world that can do that without hitting anything" Garret said.
"Oh shut up" Bianca said, opening the door and stepping out of the vehicle. She had her gun ready if any zombie show up. Garret jumped out and rushes over to the vehicle's side to put some gas in. Kristine stepped out with her gun and looked around.
"Is it me or did something happen around here" Kristine asked.
"What do you mean" Bianca asked.
"Look at the dirt, there's a bunch of footprints and tires tracks" Kristine said.
Her stomach started to twist again til she felt a sharp pain then made her hiss a bit. "Are you ok, Bianca" Kristine asked
"I'm fine, really, but I'm stomach is really hurting" she said.
"Hmm, it must've been something you ate" Kristine said.
"I haven't eaten anything in days so I don't think it was food" Bianca said.
"Hey guys, come check this out" They heard Jimmy from far away.
They went around the vehicle and spotted far away from the Gas station and staring down at something. They ran over there and stopped a few feet away from the nasty sight that was in front of Jimmy. "Oh my god" Kristine whispered to herself while covering her mouth.
There was a large puddle of fresh dark blood on the ground that had bones and torn up flesh in the middle. It looked like the body was torn in half and the bottom half was dragged away since there was a solid trail of blood leading away from the body. Most of the rib bones were scraped clean while the one arm that was left over still had pieces of flesh intact. The head was half way down in the puddle of blood with most of its' hair torn off and the rest soaked in blood. An eyeball that was barley above the puddle was staring at them. Kristine started to shake when she spotted part of the jaw with missing teeth just a few inches away from the head.
A sharp pain struck Bianca in the chest so badly she fell on her knees. Something told her not to look at the face, but she was compelled to see who this body belongs to. With the sharp pain stabbing her in her chest like needles she crawled over to the blood and bones and grabbed the head. She lifted it up, watching blood drip out of the bullet hole in the middle of his forehead, and looked at the eye to see who it was. A crystal blue eye stared deep into her brown eyes and she knew very well who this person was. She slowly placed the head back into the puddle, took a few steps away from the bloody horror that laid before her eyes and sat down in the dirt.
"Bianca?" Kristine asked, wondering if she should go near her or not.
Jimmy narrow his eyes and heard the moaning of the dead coming by. Garret started shouting about the tank being full and if they were ready to go. His voice started to fade to Bianca's ears as her whole system started to shut down on her. She was numb, her hands were shaking, she was grinding her teeth and trying to hold back the tears.
"Bianca!" Kristine shouted, grabbing Bianca by the shoulders.
Bianca struggled away from Krisitne and let out a bloodcurdling scream that cause Kristine and Jimmy to cover their eyes and could be heard for miles.
Two weeks later.
"What's wrong Bianca" Matt asked.
"I don't feel very well"
"Why?"
"Because you're not here"
"What are you talking about, I'm right here next to you like always" Matt said.
Bianca shook her head "you're dead, you been dead for two weeks"
"Now you're being fucken crazy, how can I be dead when I'm talking to you right now"
Tears filled her eyes "you're covered in blood"
Matt stared down at himself and was soaked head to toe in fresh blood. He sighed "well it's not my fault you weren't there" he said in a harsh tone. "Why weren't you there, I thought you were my best friend!"
"Stop yelling at me, it wasn't my fault"
"Yes it was"
"No, it wasn't"
"Yes it was, it's all your fault I'm dead"
"It wasn't my fault, it wasn't my fault!"
(Bianca!)
"IT WASN'T MY FAULT!"
(BIANCA! WAKE UP!)
"IT WASN'T MY FAULT!" She screamed til she felt herself being shaken.
"Bianca, god dammit, wake up!"
Bainca opened her eyes to see Kristine by her bed side, breathing heavily and digging her nails into her skin. Kristine let her go and sat down at the edge of the bed. "Are you ok" she asked
Bianca started to shake a little and shook her head "No" she said.
"Do you want to talk about it" Kristine asked.
It's been two long weeks since Matt had died and Bianca, in Kristine's opinion, wasn't taking it very well. At first Kristine thought the body in the pool of blood wasn't Matt but someone else, but after a few days, the truth sank in when Matt never returned home. Afterwards, Bianca locked herself in her room and refusing to go out or do anything for days. Then the nightmares started taking a toll on Bianca's life and she finds herself screaming every night and refuse to go back to sleep afterwards. It gotten so bad, Kristine moved into the small apartment to make sure Bianca didn't do anything that would harm herself. Kristine looked at her friend, who crawled into the corner of the bed and curled up into a little ball. She scratched that part about her not coping Matt's death, Bianca is going to lose it if she doesn't get any help.
"No" Bianca said, shaking "I'm fine, go back to sleep"
"You're sure" Kristine asked, feeling a little self-fish since she wouldn't mind going back to sleep. She hasn't been sleeping very well with Bianca screaming every night.
"Yeah, I'm just going to stay up for a little bit"
"No, you need to get some sleep" Kristine protest "you haven't been sleeping well in days and with you not eating and taking care of yourself, you're getting those nightmares"
Bianca shook her head and Kristine sighed "well, will you talk to me about them, maybe that will help to ease this depression"
"Can you just turn on the music for me that will help me sleep a little" Bianca said.
Kristine sighed and went over to the small radio that was sitting on the floor. (It's a good thing, the radio stations are back on) she thought, turning on the radio and turning down the volume to a soft low to help Bianca sleep.
"Good night Bianca" Kristine said, walking out of the room.
As the sound of the music Coldplay filled the room, Bianca curled up into an even tighter ball and just sat there on the bed. Where's Matt when you need someone to hold her when she's down and depress. (Did you forget already, he's dead in a pool of blood and it's all your fault) A small voice said inside
Her eye started to twitch, the voice is back, the voice that would tease her about the murder over and over again. It's been doing that to her for the week and it was driving her mad.
(Stop saying that, it wasn't my fault) she said.
(Yes, it was.) The voice teased (you couldn't even keep that little vow you made)
"I will always protect you"
"Oh, you have to bring back the vow didn't you" She whispered to herself.
(Hey, you're the one who made it and looked what happens, he was eaten by zombies) the voice said.
"Oh shut up and leave me alone" Bianca said.
(Fine, fine, fine, be the way, it's better torturing you in your dreams) the voice said, then it fades away.
She ran her fingers through her short brown hair and wiped the tears away from her eyes. She hasn't cried this much since her brother died and how faith was cruel to her once again by taking away her best friend. Her very best friend after all the years they were together. What made it worst, she thinks . . . no . . . she believes he wasn't killed by zombies but was murdered. Someone was there when he was killed cause how else would that gun shot wound appeared on his head.
She stared out into the dark, listening to the soft music while trying to get rid of those thoughts of him being murder out of his head. Soon she fell asleep again and started to dream.
Bright blue eyes stared at her and there was a smile on his face. "You shouldn't cry Bianca"
"And why not, you hurt me by leaving me" Bianca said.
"Trust me, this wasn't planned" Matt chuckled "can you a least look at me"
She didn't want to look, every time she looks at him he would be covered in blood. But she wanted to look so she could see his face so she turned around and smile. He looked ok, there was no blood, cuts or flesh missing.
"See, I'm still here" He said, smiling.
She ran over to him and hugged him tight but the smile and the embrace faded when she felt something warm. She pulled away to see her whole front stained with blood. She looked at him, he was covered in blood again and his mood changed.
"Why weren't you there when I needed you" He asked. "WHY"
His head and both of his knees busted open and blood sprayed on her face. Flesh was torn away as Matt screamed in horrible pain. Soon there was nothing left but a pile of bones in a pool of blood.
"BETRAYED"
She woke up, screaming again but closed her mouth so she wouldn't wake up Kristine again. Bianca took a deep breath to calm herself down and shivered from the sudden coldness she felt. She looked at the clock and realized she was only asleep for two hours and it was still night.
She started to cry again and never went back to sleep.
"How is she doing" Garret asked the next day.
"Not good, she won't eat, drink, sleep and by the way she screams every time her nightmares are getting worst. A few days ago, I had to literally slap her to wake her up because she kept screaming and screaming about blood" Kristine said. "It's horrible"
"I don't think she's not the only one taking this pretty hard" Garret said.
"What do you mean"
"I went to the Zombies' Game building to find food and I saw Jimmy sitting at the bar and by the looks of the bottles that were piled up next to him I don't think he's taking this well either. I, myself, haven't been sleeping well either"
"I know, it's hard to lose a friend in these days" Kristine said, frowning "but it's even harder seeing another one suffer"
"But what can we do" Garret asked.
"Well, I keep telling her if she needed to talk to someone about this she can talk to me, but since she refuses I thought her mother could give it a try"
"Her mom been trying to talk to her but Bianca won't even open the door" Garret said.
"Well, we have to keep trying, I don't know what else to do"
Bianca sat in the dark corner on her room, biting her nails and couldn't stop herself from shaking. She was very tired, hungry and terrified from the nightmares and the voice that won't leave her alone. She was going to a stage of rapid mood swings, one minute she's crying, another minute she's laughing and then the next she shaking like crazy and yelling at the voice to leave her alone.
After an hour she stopped shaking and was engulfed with deep depression and regret. She found it funny and sad when she realized the last thing Matt and her did together was sitting on the bathroom floor after Matt vomit due to his massive hangover. She didn't know which one was worst, the night he was drunk or the morning when he was puking. Once she thought about it, the night was pretty nice, she remembers just lying there with him sleeping on top of her in a very "awkward" way. She remembers just lying there, staring at the ceiling while stroking his hair and smiling a little knowing he was back.
As she sat there thinking, she regrets not telling him about that night, believing if she had told him maybe he wouldn't have left and end up as nothing but blood and bones. She started to shake again as the radio started up another song.
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away, so far away
Never had I imagined
living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive, alive
Her eye started to twitch as another tear rolled down her cheek "This is fucken cruel" she whispered to herself.
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together (Together)
One sweet day (And all that I know and I'll wait patiently to see you in Heaven)
She looked up at the ceiling "THIS IS FUCKEN CRUEL" she screamed so loud that her friends could hear her from the other room.
Darlin', I never showed you (No, no, no, no, no, no) I never showed you
Assumed you'd always be there (mariah: always be there,) no,no, I thought you'd always be there
and I take your presence for granted
But I always cared (But I always cared) and I miss the love we shared
She got up from the floor and marched over to the small radio that was playing the song.
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way (Lost along the way)
And I know eventually we'll be together (I know, I know)
One sweet day (And all that I know is I'll wait patiently to see you in Heaven)
"SHUT UP YOU STUPID SONG!" She screamed. She picked up the radio and slammed it against the wall. A large crack form but the song was still playing. The song was murdered to her ears as she picked it up again and slammed it against the wall over and over again. No matter how hard she slammed the radio the song was still playing.
"SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!" She screamed
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
With one hard kicked, she kicked the radio out the window. The glass shattered into pieces and fell with the smashed up radio. She heard it hitting the streets and someone screaming about falling glass. (Damn that Mariah Carey) she thought then realized something.
She fell to the floor and stared at into the dark (what's wrong with me, I just yelled at a fucken radio) she thought.
(It was pure mockery) the voice said.
(Not you again) Bianca thought (now I know why Jenny and Marcie lost their minds, you probably haunted them too as well)
(Bingo) the voice said.
(Fuck) Bianca thought.
There was a light tap on her bedroom door followed by her mother's voice "Bianca, can you please open the door so we can talk"
"Go away" Bianca said in a harsh tone.
"Please, open the door, we're just trying to help you" her mom said.
"No, I want to be alone" She said, crawling over to the dark corner again.
"I know it's terrible about what happened to Matt, he was family to us and it felt like I was losing Eric all over again. But you shouldn't shut yourself away from the world, please open the door, please" Her mother begged. "I don't want to stoop so low to let Garret kicked down the door"
"GO AWAY" Bianca shouted.
She heard her mother sighing and then there was silence. Bianca started to shake again as if she was very cold and closed her eyes. Soon she fell asleep and started to dream again.
She found herself standing in a dark alley in a familiar place. She looked ahead to see Matt walking down a street and started chasing after him. The alley seems endless and no matter how fast she ran she couldn't catch up to him.
"Matt, Matt, wait up" She screamed.
The next thing she heard was a bloodcurdling scream from Matt from far away.
"BIANCA, BIANCA, HELP ME, OH GOD, I DON'T WANT TO DIE THIS WAY"
"MATT!" She cried out. "WHERE ARE YOU"
There was more screaming, the sound of people laughing and a strong smell of smoke and blood.
"MATT, MATT, WHERE ARE YOU" She screamed out again.
The smell of smoke and blood grew stronger to the point she couldn't breathe. She closed her eyes and opened them again to find herself back at the same place where Matt was killed. She heard laugher and spotted three shadow figures on top of the gas station roof. They laughed again and then disappeared.
"No" a small voice said.
Bianca turned her head to see a little girl sitting on her knees next to the puddle of blood and bones. The little girl was staring at her hands that were soaked in Matt's blood and cupped them into fists. It didn't take Bianca long to realized the little girl was the ten-year-old version of herself.
The little Bianca stared at her with her pale face and anger in her years "what have you done, why did you let him die" she said.
"You don't understand" Bianca said.
"Why did you let him die, why, you took a vow to protect him and you promise you wouldn't break it" she shouted, fisting her hands so tight they stared to bleed, mixing her blood with Matt's.
Bianca felt like she was glued to the ground as her younger version of herself stormed toward her.
"You promise to protect him, you promise, YOU PROMISE!" She shouted. "HOW CAN YOU BREAK SUCH PROMISE TO YOUR BEST FRIEND!"
Bianca fell to her knees and covered her eyes to block out the shouting. "No"
"YOU PROMISE AND YOU LET HIM DIE"
"No"
"YOU PROMISE!"
"NO!" Bianca shouted then screamed to get rid of the abuse.
"YOU COULDN'T KEEP YOUR PROMISE AND NOW HE'S DEAD"
"NO, NO, NO, SHUT UP!"
"HE'S DEAD AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"
"I SAID SHUT UP" Bianca screamed.
She heard the sound of the door being knocked down as she started kicking, hitting and screaming wildly on the floor. "I'M SORRY MATT, I'M SORRY!" She screamed.
Bianca's mother wrapped her arms around her daughter to stop her from shaking and swinging, yelling at her to calm down and that everything will be alright but nothing was getting through her.
