Chapter twenty nine,

he has no pulse

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

    Citlali had just about barely finished up rinsing her entire bloody up face, she didn't ever want to go on experience anything like this, it had just terrified her. Though, it did feel good to know that the person who was just terrorizing her for all these past months is now dead.

   He made her feel so unsafe. Though, she couldn't help but just let a painful sob that had  escaped her very own mouth, and was just left remembering the painful scream of her very own damn boyfriend, and he's probably now dead and it hurt more knowing that he had no comfort in his last moments.

   Tara calmly spoken to the girl, "What's wrong, Citlali?" She was just attempting to do a little do over with the girl.

   Citlali remained quiet.

   "I can't help you if you're not allowing me in?" She slowly rambled, again. Citlali had then practically scoffed, and wiping her tears away with her hands and was just ignoring her stuffy nose.

   Citlali gritted her teeth, "As if you care."

   "I do care," Tara argued back.

   Citlali had clenched both of her fists, the nerve of this girl to just ramble that she cares. These past few days she had made her feel like complete crap, especially for what she rambled to her boyfriend earlier.

   She decided to be blunt, "Is it because he's gone that now you care about me?" Citlali had loudly told the girl before continuing, "Because you have given me quite the shitty days." She had deadpanned.

Tara was confused, "W-what?"

Citlali let out a gentle laugh, and just speaking with just a very hint of amusement to the girl, "Don't you play stupid with me. . ." She might be blind but she can smell a bitch from a mile away, "I don't need to fucking see to know that you're in love with my boyfriend, I'm not stupid." She had easily referred to herself with her hand patting her chest, as her voice was just booming louder than before, and the rage in her body was detectable.

Tara had easily felt her face flushing in humiliation. The fact that Citlali figured out that she's in love with Chad, as a small portion of herself had felt guilty, but the other portion of herself didn't feel guilty.

She stumbled with her words and just attempting to lie, "I— I'm not in love with him." She sounded defeated.

"Mhm. . ." Citlali easily scoffed, as her arms were crossed before then putting the girl on the spot, "Then why did you ask him to fall out of love with me, Tara?" She had easily raised her eyebrow.

   Tara had then remained quiet for a portion until she had just hesitantly spoken, "I didn't —" She had been interrupted by Citlali.

   "Don't bullshit me," She sneered.

   Tara bit the inside of her own cheek before ultimately confessing to her, "You just wouldn't get it, I have fucking spent an entire year liking him and just hearing him constantly rambling on about some girl — You. . . it hurts me 'cause that should've been me, and I never even had a chance because you had came in and taken him from me." Her voice had easily cracked on the last portion.

   Citlali had let out a light laugh before speaking to the girl who wasn't far from her since she can just hear her pretty closely, "He wasn't ever your property, Tara. He only ever viewed you as a friend and nothing more. It's not my fault. . . it's not my fault that he fell in love with me." She retorted back.

   Tara remained silent.

   Citlali had just easily taken that as her own cue to ultimately continue on, "I have spent these past few days treating my biological sister like complete shit because of you. . ." Tara was shock to hear this from the girl who continued on, "Thought, that pushing her away would just have you hate me a bit less, but I'm tired of just pushing her away these past few days, she has been by my side when my mom got attacked, and protected me. And, I fucking want to get to know my sister, unlike you. . . I don't care if we share a sister. I have every right to get to know her, she's my blood too." She easily breathed out and just wiping her very own tears after her voice had just easily cracked from her entire rant.

Tara felt a rush of guilt. She realized the damage she had done was more than loving some boy, but she was just making Citlali feel guilty over the fact that they share a sister, she had attempted to speak only to be interrupted before she can speak.

"Leave me alone," She had easily walked away from the girl and with the help of her dad to find her boyfriend who was somewhere in here, so she had easily spent over ten minutes just walking around the area until her dad had spoken to her.

"Found him," He had easily called out that captured her entire attention. Her heart was just beating rapidly.

"Where?" She easily had known that he was laying on the floor, but she didn't really know where his body had fell.

Billy gently spoken, "Keep walking. . . . go straight. . . there now just gently bend down on the floor." He had slowly told her and that's what she done, a gasp escaped her lips when she had felt his body, his sweatshirt felt like it was soaked in blood.

Her voice slightly cracked, "Chad?"

No response and that had easily made her heart drop to the pit of her stomach, she had been so anxious, she had just gently leaned her head into his chest in attempt to hear his heart beat, but heard nothing.

A quiet sob escaped her lips.

She couldn't lose him. He can't be dead.

She kept sobbing onto his chest not really caring about how bloody she was getting, she just wants him to speak to her like he always does, and had then just quietly whispered off to him, "I love you." She just wants him to know that.

She hadn't even know for how long that she was clinging onto him until two paramedics had just pulled her away from his very almost lifeless body, "Help him. . . please." She had easily begged them.

The very sound of a shirt being ripped was simply heard and also unknown tools that she couldn't see being pulled out until she had then head something, "No pulse. . ." Her heart had just dropped in fear.

"No. . . do it, again. He can't be dead it's not his time," She had easily cried out in horror not even catching the pity looks of the paramedics who had just nodded their head, and were just going again.

Citlali had then began to cry in simple joy when she had easily heard his heart beating again, especially when she heard his voice for a short time, "C— Citlali." He hardly had anytime to speak some more to her considering he had an oxygen mask quickly put onto his face.

A paramedic held onto her hand, speaking directly to her, "Are you?" He easily kept her steady, as they were adjusting Chad in a bed to roll him into the vehicle to go under surgery.

"I'm his girlfriend can I go with?" She practically begged them, she couldn't be apart from him anymore.

The EMT nodded his head, "Let's go."

Shortly finding the exit and just being supported by the person leading her out as he had shouted for some more help, "Hey, we got two other ones over here." Chad had just kept his gaze on his girlfriend, eyes just softening at the fact that he can still see her in this lifetime.

He couldn't be apart from her.

A familiar voice running over to them, speaking to them, "There you were, Citlali. . ." Sam was just so damn worried for her sister's whereabouts after she disappeared with her other younger sister before her eyes had then focused onto Chads, "How are you alive?" The question was directed to Chad.

Citlali couldn't even see what her boyfriend had been doing , that hadn't been until a very aggravating voice had spoken, "Forever fucking five." Tara announced with excitement.

Citlali had easily placed a very gentle kiss onto her boyfriends forehead who gently closed his eyes and just overall missing her touch. He couldn't wait to be cured to pull her into a very deep kiss amongst other things with her.

The sound of another familiar voice was heard, "Oh, my god! Are you guys, okay?" She had questioned all of them, speaking again as if she's just on complete drugs, "I know who the killer is! It's Ethan and Bailey." She revealed to them on all the things she's learnt.

Sam casually added one more, "And, Quinn."

Citlali hesitantly asked, "Is she dead?"

Sam sadly spoken, "Yeah."

It was a shame to know that Quinn died.

Mindy rambled some more, "And, Quinn? Fuck! Did I miss the monologue, again?" She had sounded disappointed.

Her eyes had then easily just lingered onto Citlali before her brother, "Come on, let's go to the hospital. Can't be alone over there, and we all know he's going to want to see you first after he's out of surgery. Are you hungry? 'Cause I'm hungry." She rambled to Citlali who was only left giggling.

"You're so high on drugs, Mindy," She had just gently told the girl and sitting beside her on the vehicle that was driving them directly back to the hospital.
