Hello. So, this chapter might be a bit emotional... Yeah, probably what you're thinking.. Enjoy!
Oh, and the way I portray Ali in this makes it seem like I dont like her, but I do. I really like her being kind of like a bitch in this, even though shes probably the sweetest thing ever.
Well, here's the next chapter. (:
I got back to the dorm that night, nervous as hell. I didnt know if Ali told anybody but I was getting anxious to know. I had gotten a ride from Aylin, which was pretty sweet. We listened to the radio for a bit, and sang as loud as we could. When I wasnt freaking out about that night. I opened the door, and saw Nellie on her bed, listening to music. When she saw me, she immediately got up, and looked at me. "Dani.." She said, looking at me. I had to forgive her, just to make her forgive me easier about the whole Charlie thing.
"Its okay." I said. "Really?" I nodded, and walked up to her. I grabbed her face, and kissed her on the lips. I closed the door, and we got onto the bed. "I love you Nellie. I love you so much." I said, kissing her face multiple times. She laughed. "I love you too." She moved her hands lower down my back, making me smile.
The next day we all met at a coffee place not too far from the campus. That whole time I kept looking at Ali, I really needed to know if she was going to tell everyone or not. "Ali, can we talk please?" I asked. She nodded, and we went to another table. "Are you telling everyone?" I asked. "Your secret? You bet I am." She said, crossing her arms. "I beg you, please dont. How did you even find out?" "I over heard you telling that Michael kid the other day.." She started to wheel away, but I stopped her.
"Ali why would you tell everyone? Me, Aylin and Michael all know and are willing to keep it a secret.. Why cant you?" "Because, unlike you, Charlie is my friend. And I kind of want to keep him safe. If Emily is locked up tomorrow, good. The sooner the better." "Why do you hate me so much Ali? You cant just say that you figured it out? You have to rat me out?" "I dont hate you.." "Yeah? Seems like you do."
"Well I dont. I envy you okay? You aren't afraid of who you are. You just show the world, without any doubt. I could never do that. And if telling everyone this, will make me envy you less. So be it." She whispered. "Then when?" I asked. She had to at least tell me when she would tell everyone. "Later." She said, wheeling off. I sighed, and walked back to the table. "What was that about?" Nellie asked. "You'll find out later." I whispered.
When we got back to campus, me and Nellie decided to rent a movie. I wanted to get all the love in before Ali says the big secret and everyone hates me... Maybe I could hint to Nellie that I know about Charlie, then it wont be as big as a shock and she wont hate me as much. "Nellie?" I said, turning off the movie. "Yeah?" "Have you found out who hurt Charlie yet?" She shook her head, and just looked at me confused. "Well, if somebody knew, what would you do?" "Depends on how long they knew. If they just found out and then told me right after, thats basically the best. But if they had known for a while, then I'd get pretty mad because they were hiding that secret for that long." She said, walking over to her dresser. She grabbed her laptop, and sat beside me again.
She turned it on, and went online. And, perfect. Guess what was waiting for her on there? A message, from Ali. It read, everybody, meet down stairs. BIG NEWS. "Lets go." Nellie said, closing her laptop. I nodded, and got ready for what was coming soon.. We headed downstairs, and saw Ali, Abraham, Lily, Charlie, and Aylin. Abraham and Lily looked pissed, and Charlie just looked confused. Ali was smirking at me, and Aylin gave me a worried look. Oh no, she told them. Aylin ran up to me. "Im sorry. I tried to get her not to say anything, but she did..." Aylin said. "Whats going on?" Nellie asked.
"Nothing." I said, turning to her. "Go on, tell her Dani. Tell everyone your big secret." Ali said, crossing her arms. "Shes lying. Please say shes lying." Lily said, confused. "Whats going on?" Nellie asked again. "Ali, stop it." Aylin said, angrily. "Im not doing anything, except trying to get someone to tell the truth. Tell them Dani." Ali yelled. I looked at everyone, and decided it. I had to tell them, they were my best friends. I sighed, and looked at the ground. "Alright, Ill tell them."
"A month ago, when we all found out what happened to Charlie, I wanted to figure out who hurt him.." I started. "But you didnt find out. You told me that." Nellie said, confused. "Im so sorry.. I knew who did that all along.. The day right after, I found out. I went to the library, and she was there.. She told me that if I told anybody about it, she'd kill me.. I didnt want to take the risk, but weeks went by, and I couldnt contain myself anymore. I told Michael.." They all looked at me in shock, hurt in their eyes. Why didnt I just tell them? "Well, who was it then?" Ali asked, smiling. She was so enjoying this. "Ali dont you dare act all innocent. You knew too. You could of told them, but no. You HAD to tell them that I knew." I said, angrily.
"Im sorry, but I wasnt the one who knew this whole time." "Dani, who was it?" Abraham asked. "It.. It was Emily." Nellie stepped away from me, and just looked at me in shock. "It was Emily? I, I need to go." She said, running off. "Yeah, Im gonna go too." Lily said, walking towards me. She gave me a glare, and walked off. Aylin went after. "Aylin.." I started. "Sorry." She mouthed to me. After that was Charlie. "You know, I didnt want to know who almost killed me anyways." He said, angrily. "Charlie, Im sorry.." "Save it." He wheeled away. I turned around to see him walk off, Aylin tried to comfort him, but he just wheeled away from her. I then turned back to Ali and Abraham.
"Looks like you got what you wanted. The secrets out, and you dont have to worry about Emily." Ali said, wheeling away. I looked at Abraham, I was in tears right now, but he looked fine. "Tell me one thing." He said, as I nodded. "Why did you tell someone you just met, other then your best friend? Do I not matter to you anymore? Does nobody matter to you anymore?" He said, starting to get emotional. "Abraham its not like that!" I said, crying. "You know, it kind of is. Nobody is important anymore but you. Its like this is the Dani show, and we are all the background cast. Not the main characters, and Im done."
"Abraham, you're the only one left please dont do this." "I used to think you were trustworthy. You know, I told Nellie how amazing you were, just to get her to like you. But really, I shouldn't have. Goodbye Dani." He said, walking away. Tears were streaming down my face, I was so upset. Nellie. How could I forget about Nellie?
I ran up to my dorm, and found the door wide open. "Nellie, what are you doing?" I asked, confused. She looked like she was packing her clothes. "You wanted your own dorm, you got it." She said, her eyes starting to water up. "Dont do this Nellie.." I took some of the clothes out of her hand, but she just got angrier. "You know what? I will do this. How could you not tell me?!" She shouted. "I couldnt!" "Just because Emily scared you a little? You had the power to tell anyone, and you told Michael? Im your girlfriend! Well, at least I was." She started to zip up her suitcase, but I stopped her.
"What about what you've done to me?! You cheated on me!" "Charlie almost died! And if he had, you still would've known it was Emily! You kept the secret of who tried to kill Charlie! Our friend! I spent time with Emily! She was my friend, and all this time she was a killer? She could have killed me or Abraham or anybody! But you were too selfish to even care. I thought that I fell in love in college, like I kind of had it easy. But I was wrong. Now excuse me, Im leaving." She said, grabbing her suitcase. "Nellie, you dont want to leave.." I took her arm, but she rejected it, and instead slapped me across the face. "Just, leave me alone Dani! If you see me in the halls, pretend you dont know me. Pretend you dont know any of us, because we are all done with your crap! You self centered little bitch!" She yelled, crying her eyes out. She ran out of the room, and down the halls. I watched as she left.. I couldnt believe this. I screwed everything up.
I fell to the ground, and just sat there. Crying. They didnt understand what was going on. I couldnt tell them, I had to keep it a secret. Oh shut up Dani.. Stop being so stupid.. I could have at least told Nellie when it happened. I was just too selfish. Charlie could have died, I wasnt even thinking about that. I was thinking about myself. I sat there, hoping that I could just reverse time. But that was impossible... "Dani, you okay?" I heard somebody say. I looked up, and saw somebody I didnt expect to say THAT.
