#58 So Long And Goodbye

She received a text from her friend.
Asking her to meet her at an alley nearby her house.
She might want to forgive me, she thought.
She told her mom that she was going out for a while,
Got into a cab drove off to the alley near her friend's house.

She was waiting for her.
It has just rained and she wore
Thick black clothes.
Black boots,
Black pants,
Black shirt and leather jacket.
She pulled out a pair of black gloves from her left back pocket.
Slipped into it and lean against the wall.
Her thoughts running through her head.

How could she do this to me? She thought, angrily.
After all I did to her?
She left me?
Leaving me all alone.
Is he THAT wonderful?
IS he worth it?
Worth to forget your friends?
To ignore them?

She put both her hands into her jacket pockets.
She's changed, she thought sadly.
She's changed alot.
So much until I don't know her!
Her fist balls tightly in her pockets.
But, no matter,
It'll soon be over.

She fumbled her pockets.
And finally found a cigarette.
She took out a match box and lighted her cigarette.
She then put the match box back into her pocket.
She took a deep breath of her cigarette,
Feeling calm after breathing out the smoke.
Soon, the cigarette has finished,
She threw the cigarette butt in a drain.
And placed her hands in her pockets.
She heard a car cruised by
And stopped a few feet away from the alley.
A girl in white dress got out of the yellow cab.
She smiled a rather evil smile
And waited for the white girl to approach her.

I wonder why did she pick this place?
This place to meet me? she thought as she got out of the cab.
She shivered due to the coldness in the night sky.
It's so dark,
Not even the moon light could show what lurking in there.
She walked towards the alley,
Not sure if she was there waiting for her.
Suddenly, out of the dark alley,
A dark figure appeared,
And the figure pulled down her hood to show herself.
She sighed with relieved,
And started walking towards her.

She looks like and angel, she thought with despised.
A fallen angel.
She even wore a white dress which suits her brown hair.
A fallen angel,
Which is going to meet her death.

She saw her,
Wearing everything black.
It's like the total opposite of me, she thought.
I have brown hair,
She has dark, raven hair.
She wore black and I wore white.
Total opposites.
"Hey," she said,her white dress fluttered around her.

"Hey," she said, while taking out her hands from her pockets.
"So what's up?"
She looked into her brown eyes,
Is she that naive?
"Nothing,"
She started to walk around the white angel,
Seizing her,
Looking for a vulnerable spot, a weak spot...
"Uh, you asked me to meet you?" she said,
Not feeling comfortable,
She felt like she was being observed,
Watched.

"Yes, I did."
She said and she took a step forward.
Her brown eyes was now filled with fear,
She was terrified, she realized.
That's good.

She felt the wall against her back.
I'm trapped!
She breathing became irregular.
What does she wants from me?
To frightened me?
I have to make her talk,
To allow me to have more time,
To think,
To escape.

"So, what do you want?"
She asked, trying to sound bold
But her voice came out, tiny.
Like a mouse, she thought.
She smiled when she heard her voice.
She put her left hand and on the wall.
"I want you to hear me out,"
She said softly.

"You, ruined my life,
Made me hate for who am i.
Like what my dear mother said before she died,
I'm already 16 and yet,
I don't have a friend in sight!"
She said, her voice dangerously low.

Anger flared up in her body.
"ME!? What does you not having friends have to do with me?"
She screamed.

She chuckled,
It's funny how an angel looked like when she gets angry.
She leaned close towards the angry angel.
Her right hand reached towards her right back pocket.
She then pulled out a pocket knife and covered it in her sleeve.

She looked at her dark eyes,
The eyes that has been filled with hatred,
Anger
And not a sight of happiness anywhere.

"Goodbye, Marissa,"
She said softly in Marissa's ears
And she turned the knife 180 degrees
And stabbed the knife into Marissa's stomach.
Marissa was caught off guard.
She felt a burning sensation in her.
She was terrified of blood and she felt cold all over.

"Eventually, an angel will die too,"
She then took the knife out and stabbed Marissa again.
Marissa started to see spots all over.
The moon, she thought,
That's the last thing I shall see tonight...
Or not...

Marissa looked into her eyes and saw pain
Instead of anger and hatred.
It is as though she is forced to kill her.
With all her strength,
She hold her by her leather jacket and pulled her towards her.
"I'm sorry and I forgive you.. Kimberly."
She whispered and those were her last words.
The last thing Marissa saw was Kimberly's wide eyes,
Eyes that are now filled with tears and guilt.
Then, she closed her eyes.. forever.

Kimberly was caught off guard when Marissa said those words.
"I'm sorry and I forgive you,"
Those words rang in her mind,
Over and over again.
She hold Marissa in her arms,
Then carefully lay her on the street.
Under the moonlight,
Marissa look so beautiful,
Her white dress gave out a glow,
Her hair falls carelessly on her face.

I need a smoke, Kimberly thought
And started to fumble her pockets.
She pulled out a cigarette,
My last one.
She lighted it and walked away from the dead angel.
Kimberly drew a deep breath and let out a puff of smoke.
She looked back and saw Marissa was bathe with moonlight.
I'm jealous, Kimberly realized.
I'm jealous of how she look,
How beautiful she is,
She's friendly,
Smart and funny.
I ended that with two deep stabs.

Kimberly chuckled.
The world is much more better without her.
Or is it?
Troubled, Kimberly walked back to her home.
Halfway there,
She stopped and thought about the good times she had with her.
Guilty tears rolled down her cheeks
While she pulled out her pocket knife.
"Goodbye world,"
And everything went black and dark.

Kimberly was born alone,
Died alone.
She shall be lonely..
Forever.

The end
