Chapter 5: Happily Never After

I was just starting to think that maybe leaving Easton was a good thing when Sabine broke into my room. She came up right to my bed and ripped the sheets off. I sat up, looked at her and saw she was mad, her eyes full of rage.

I squinted in the darkness, but I could make out her slim figure and long dark hair.

"Sabine?"

I glanced over at the clock. 3:45 am. What in the world did she think she was doing?

She came around the bed, leaned over me and slapped my face. I opened my mouth to yell at her, SCREAM at her, but then I noticed her hand rise up. And in it? A black handed gun. I wasn't too familiar with it, but I knew it was a gun. And I knew it was loaded.

"Shut the fuck up you bitch and listen to me! Why did you not properly initiate my last night! You promised! We had a deal! I got you a chance with Josh, I made sure you were president of Billings. Now why didn't you keep your side of the bargain?"

She was in my face, spitting and blowing in my face. She pulled my off the bed and threw me at the floor.

She looked my dead in the eye. "Tell me Cheyenne. Why?"

"I… um… I…" I was stuttering. How could you blame me? I was about to die. I was never going to get the happily ever after I always wanted.

"You didn't think I belong in Billings do you? You don't think I'm Billings material… well I am. Ariana was Billings material and so am I."

"What?"

"Ariana is my sister you lying bitch. Now stay there and DON'T move."

I nodded my head slowly, and watched her walk over to my desk. She picked up a piece of my special lavender paper and wrote the words, "I'm sorry. I can't go home." In the same handwriting I use.

She walked back over to me and threw a small black velvet bag at me. They fell in my lap. I opened it up and out fell the white with blue dot pills that she used on Josh that one night. She held the gun up at my forehead, hey grasp tight and secure.

"Now listen to me, I want you to take as many of those pills as you can or this bullet is going right threw your forehead. You understand me?"

I looked at her puzzling. "But why Sabine? What happened?" I started to cry. Why did it have to end like this!

She shook her head and smirked, a mischievous look was dancing in her eyes. "Because you lied to me, and I hate liars. You hated Reed almost as much as I hate her. I thought you would cooperate easier. I thought it wouldn't have to come to this. I told you I wanted to be fully accepted into Billings. But you just don't listen. All of you bitches are the same. You never learn. Now get swallowing as many pills as you can. Tell me when you start to lose airway and you feel dizzy."

I narrowed my eyes at her. "And what if I don't?"

She pulled back a hinge and I heard the gun snap as a bullet fell into place. She bent down, grabbed my collar and pulled me up, her lips pushing into my ear. I could feel the cold metal of the gun being rubbed on my collarbone.

"If you don't decide to cooperate I'm going to have to get a little… messy."

She threw me back on the floor and I hit with a thump. She stood up, smirked, and pointed the gun back at me. "Now, where were we?"

I decided that it wasn't worth it anymore. In the end, I would die. If I went the easy route, the pills, everything would be a lot simpler. Everyone would think I committed suicide, there wouldn't be a huge scandal, and best of all Reed will think she pushed me to do it. She would get what she deserved. I wouldn't be the only one with a Happily Never After.

I picked up the little velvet bag with my shaking hands and slowly opened it. I poured about 7 little white polka dotted pills into my hand. I looked up at Sabine, who was nodding her head eagerly, and looked around my room one last time. Goodbye Easton, forever.

I threw the pills into my mouth and poured another handful. I may have thrown in another 4 handfuls before I started to feel my airway becoming closed off. I the last thing I saw was Sabine's venomous glare staring back at me, a grin spreading across her face.

Slowly but hard, I fell backwards and slipped into unconsciousness and the darkness that comes with it surrounded me.
