The end of me
April's POV
That was the night when I finally understood why people fear silence. That was the night that ruined it all. I wish I could have skipped that day or didn't go to where I went. Maybe it wouldn't end up that way. What I saw -wasn't a lie- life isn't unicorns and rainbows. Life is just death. It's full of thunderstorms and before you know it you're dead. No time to say goodbye you're just dead. That was the one night to change my life -my friendships, family, and my future- it changed me. Maybe just maybe if I didn't go the park at night I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't be... DEAD.
It was a bright, warm -yet windy- Tuesday morning. When it all had started. When I got to school I noticed one thing. I was wearing the wrong shoes. I was hoping that people didn't notice. I looked up and pretended I was all high and mighty queen I am. I was known as the most perfect out of anyone. I knew that Taylor was going to notice right away. Everyone has to wear black shoes(mine were pink). My hair was down in my face. I looked over to see Taylor. She was whispering to all my friends and smirked at me.
"OMG! I can't believe that April wore the wrong shoes! She is so embarrassing!"yelled Taylor
"Oh! No!"
"OUR QUEEN!"
"SHE HAS FALLEN!"
"Oh poor poor queen!" said Taylor sarcastically.
"Oh shut your trap Taylor,"I yelled walking up to her. "You're just jealous that I overruled your castle. You're just jealous that I have so many friends and you're just dangling by a thin thread that I can cut at any time. I am in control of you. You are nothing." I started to walk away when Taylor grabbed my hair and threw me into the locker. I felt the blood dripping down my nose. I looked at her and was about to punch her back when the teacher came down the hallway. I acted like I was really hurt. All the other kids ran so that they wouldn't be caught -well all except for "mute boy". "Mute boy" walked up to me and tapped my back (I am taller than him). When I looked at him he smiled and giggled. He looked at me and whisper, "I am Ed and I am not mute. I am just... shy."
The bell rang so we walked to class. We both had Physical Education first. When we got there we had to separate because, we had to change. When I got to the locker room I was pushed to the floor by Taylor. She glared at me and smirked. "Opps! My bad." She started to laugh. I just smirked and punched her left eye. She screamed. I started to laugh. All my friends went in front of me and pointed to the door. It was all back to normal. I looked at Carrie and smiled she was the only one that didn't hate me.
First period was boring. The same with the next three. It was finally lunch. I went through the line to get my usual turkey sandwich on whole-wheat bread, carrot sticks, and an apple. I only eat ¼ of my sandwich at lunch. I always give my carrot sticks to bob, and my apple to Jaz. Ash always yells at me when I do this. I just find a way to do is. Trist always tells on me. Ed walked up to the table and sat next to me.
Lunch ended and the school day went by fast. When I was at my locker he asked if if I could go to the park tonight at 7:00 P.M. I was confused why he wanted to meet so late. Any ways... maybe he will be nice and ask to be my friend! That would be so cute! Wait! What am I saying? This isn't like me! What is wrong with me? Okay! I'm cool. Wait 7:00? It is 5:00 P.M right now. I only have a hour and forty-five minutes! I can't be late!
As I was getting dressed I thought someone was looking at me through my open window. It scared me when I heard a twig snap but that was probably an animal. I just pushed away that thought and finished changing. I was wearing a black shirt and a white skirt. I was using the window for a mirror because, I broke my last one. It happened when Taylor told me that I was no longer her friend. Nevermind that! When I was done applying my makeup and fixing my hair I saw it was time to leave. I was going to be late!
It was really dark when I left. That's weird everyone is leaving and I don't see Ed. I started to think about the fact this park is in the middle of nowhere. If I screamed no one would hear. If I was being kidnapped or killed no one would help me. I was about to run back when I saw him. His eyes were glowing. I never noticed his eyes were red. His eyes no longer showed the one caring and loving side I saw all day. Now they were full of anger, hatred and a slim bit of love.
He was staring at me with those eyes. It felt like he was staring straight into my soul. I felt his eyes throb in anger. His frown turned into a smirk. It wasn't one of those smirks you love to see. It was one that the killer gives you before you get killed. He ran toward me. He's quick! I started to run as well I am the fastest girl in the whole school but he was faster. He tackled me to the ground. My back scraped against the cold grass. I looked straight into his eyes and shivered at the sight. He got up off of me and I smelt blood.
I looked at him to see blood dripping down his hand. I took this chance to get up. I was about to run when I felt his grip on my hand. I felt sparks through my whole body. Was this love? I looked at his other hand that was in his pocket. My heart jumped. I knew what was going to happen. He slowly pulled out the knife. This is the end of me.
He pulled the blade up to my arm and said, "You called me mute boy all of my life. You walked over me all my life. Do you know how it feels? Do you know what it's like for the one person you love to tear you apart. To cry yourself to sleep because everything will be the same tomorrow?" I felt a tear go down my face. He loves me? I know how it feels. I just don't say it. I was going to say something when he pulled the blade along my arm. I felt the blood drip onto my shoe. It leaked to to my toe and it soaked in. "Of course you don't! You will never know how it feels! Everyone is head over heals for you. Everyone would kill to be with you. It just so happens that I was one to fall in love. I have always loved you. I always had hope that you would to. Then you dated others. But if I can't have you no one can!" I was wincing in pain as he slashed me skin again. "I never knew that the April could be harmed! It is so pathetic! Want to this to go around the school? Of course you don't! I guess you could go out with me so it doesn't."
"Why in the world I go out with you?"
"Oh you shouldn't have said that." He slashed the blade again but this one was on my right cheek. He started to laugh. I tasted the blood. The warm metal-ish taste. It tasted like pure salt. I didn't do anything so he cut my other cheek. I still didn't so he ran the blade across my forehead. I screamed.
I was starting to get dizzy. I was losing too much blood. He went to drag the blade down each my legs. Drip! Drip! Drip! The sound of all the blood dripping from my leg down onto the grass. He jumped into the tree and I thought I could leave. I started to crawl away. My legs were starting to get numb. I only got fifteen feet away when he jumped back on me. I was done for. He stabbed me in the back. He left the knife there for a little bit then yanked it back out. It was a literal backstab. He turned me around and looked me in the eyes and I thought he was going to kiss me. He then said, "Bye-bye." It took me a minute to figure out what was going on. Then I realized what is going on.
He took out another knife and stabbed me right above my heart. It was done all the pain would be over. "You didn't think this is how it would end did you? I won't let you die to easy." Then I heard a loud bang. My ears were ringing and I heard another bang. I saw nothing, all except a bright flash of white.
