Chapter 5
I grabbed her neck with an invisible force before I approached the two and revealed the killer. He was suspended; unable to move anything but his eyes.
Everything seemed like it was in slow motion.
She was squealing. Enjoy the pain. It'll be the last thing you'll ever feel.
Her hands were violently scratching at her neck. She was trying to make the force go away. Meanwhile Clark's eyes looked at me in a disgusted way.
Then it hit me.
Chloe was someone's best friend.
Even though she seemed to be a terrible person.
Clark needed her.
That's why I'm acting like this. My friend is gone. She kept me sane and happy.
Clark would end up like me.
Well, sure, he's no freak, and he doesn't look like he'd hurt a fly, but the pain of losing a friend…
It's worse than anything else imaginable.
The next thing I did was out of my control. It was unexpected but it felt good.
I let them go, then I broke down and cried.
I didn't care that they stared at me while I did it, I just cried.
After what seemed like an eternity, I felt a hand touch mine.
"Let's get you back to your grandma's. Okay?"
It was Chloe's voice. I forgot my hatred and agreed to go back to my car. Clark drove while Chloe and I were in the backseat.
Why was she being this kind to me?
Twenty minutes ago she called me a freak.
If there's one thing I don't understand about people, it's how they act towards others.
I was so cruel, wishing so badly to have her dead.
She repaid me with kindness.
I guess I'll do the same from now on. Sure, many people are cruel, but no one deserves to die.
