I HAVE SOMETHING TO LOSE NOW

CHAPTER EIGHTY THREE

The wind is cold in my hair as I make it onto the top of the roof and wrap my hands around the handle, opening the door. My heart is beating wildly at the thought of seeing him here. I wasn't going to let him touch me though.

Not after everything that he has done. I respect myself too much to allow that. I was going to kill him. After all, I had nothing left to lose. He took everything away from me. He lied to me.

I tightened my hands on the Swiss knife I had placed in my pocket. Once the door opens, I come face to face with Kieran.

"Leave. Don't come any...."

I sink my knife into his chest, hoping i pierced his heart, stopping his life and words. His lies.

His eyes widen and he gasps, stumbling back onto one knee. Hurt filled his eyes.

Loud laughter rings out from behind him and i turn to see Moncar and.... God no... Chloe, my best friend.

"This bitch really stabbed him first thing. Shit i knew she was crazy, but not this stupid crazy." She laughed like a maniac.

"You took long enough to get here. You invite us out and have us waiting?"

I refuse to believe what I'm thinking.

"Chloe, what's going on?" I approached her.

Chloe slaps me hard in the face and i fall back onto my ass before she kicks me in the face, knocking me into the wall and nearly over the glass railings that bar the rooftop.

"Oh shit. You could have killed our princess with that." Moncar laughs like this is all just some joke.

"It was you who leaked company secrets. You are always at my house and always go to pick up my stuff when i was at Kieran's." Realization dawns on me.

"I guess the slap got you thinking better now. You have no idea how long I've waited for your downfall. You walk around school on your mighty horse acting like you're better than everyone and i have to live in your shadow. You think i like that? I hate you." She yells in my face.

"No, I don't believe you. You won't do this to me. You're my only true friend. There should be a reasonable explanation. Is Moncar forcing you to do this?"

"I leaked your pictures at the beginning of the year. It was never Kieran. I had Moncar do that for me . I pushed you into the pool to embarrass you at the party because i knew you were breaking out. I spoke badly about you to make the cheer team hate you and everyone knew it except you. I heard what happened with Jer and had Katie transfer here after just to fuck with you. I had her break you and Kieran up. But just when everything was perfect and you were going to fucking leave the city that lowlife thought she had the right to tell you anything. I'd paid her enough to live a better life, so why the fuck would that bitch betray me?

I had to ask Moncar to kill her disguised as Kieran. And you're so stupid you fell for it. You walked right towards me. And even stabbed him. What a good little sport. You know something funny? Kieran actually figured everything out, so Moncar had to drug and kidnap him for days. But fortunately for us, you stopped coming to school to realize he was missing. The Castles are not concerned with you because they are looking for their missing son. Of course, they are not going to broadcast it. A missing sole heir? You know what will happen to stocks. It was bad enough their best friends were going through it. They would never bother you like that. Everything was just working so perfectly for me. Even God is on my side. " She laughs evilly in my face.

I really was stupid. How didn't i suspect her? She was always there. Right beside me. The day she fought with Katie at cheer try outs, I should have known. She was asking Katie to shut up when Katie was trying to tell me.

"You're sick and need help. This is not normal, Chloe. I'm the one you want, so let Kieran go. He's hurt and God knows how long he has been drugged."

"Let him go? You see, this is what I hate about you. You're too nice. You see only the good side of the world. You are a true princess. A true aristrocrat. Something i can never be when you're here in this fucking world. Why would your slow brain think I will let him go? Even after all I just told you, you still think I have an iota of good in me?" She pulls her hair like I'm too fucking dumb to understand her.

"Fucking respect me you trash bag. Stopping acting like you're mighty when i have all the power over you right now." She slapped me in the face, making my ears ring.

However, I'm ready for her. I grabbed her shoulder and slammed her onto the floor, holding the knife against her neck in the eye of a second.

"You forgot something about me. I'm the original bitch here. Drop the gun." I say the last part louder for Moncar.

I look over at Kieran but he is losing blood in a puddle and is unconscious.

I have to get him out of here now and into a hospital. I now know that getting close to the cheerleaders wasn't to hurt me but to help him get information and now, instead, I hurt him. He wasn't even ignoring me. his friend drugged and kidnaped him to keep us away.

"You're too weak. You're not going to ---" Chloe starts

I stabbed her in the face and dragged the knife down her skin as she screamed.

"You're wrong. I have something to lose now. Kieran. I can be strong for him. Drop the gun. " I say fiercely.

Moncar doesn't drop it but looks at Chloe for instructions.

"Whatever she's paying you, I'm multiplying it times ten if you leave an account number with that gun and walk out right now."

"Paying him? I'm fucking him in addition. He wants rich girl pussy. That's how low I'll go to end you. How will you give him that ?"

She grabs the knife and twists it around. We both scramble around trying to gain advantage of the knife.

"Shoot her stupid face." Katie yells at Moncar and a shot ring out.

"What the fuck? That's my hair. Fucking aim properly you crazy nutwit." She cussed him out.

"Well, I can't aim when you're this close to her." He retorts.

Chloe pushes me towards the glass. She is trying to kick me over the railing.

"I'll still forgive you if you stop this madness right now. I literally introduced you to my family and this is how you repay me?"

"Yes, because your family doesn't constantly force you to be like me, act like me, dress like me and compare you to me just like mine do. You're suffocating me everywhere. You have to die so I can fucking live." She pushes me and my head hits the glass. I'm losing consciousness and I hear shots ring out. My body goes over the railing and I fall.

Shit, I'm I falling to my death? There are loud sounds. Why can't I feel my body?

I'm I dead, Dad ?
