Was It, Love

I didn’t do it! I have always been someone to welcome a new kid or stand up for people, but unfortunately that has been taken advantage of. This happened at the beginning of Junior year when a girl came up to me wanting to be friends so I ignored the slightly sketchy feeling that she gave off and took her offer. We floated down the hall, talking as we headed to our next class. Something that I found to be a little weird though was she only wanted to talk about me and my life. Luckily I did manage to get one thing out of her, this was her name which is Eve, short for Evelyn.

Throughout the months of spending time with Eve, we have gotten our hair done and many other beauty things, after them she complains about her physical appearance even though all of the facials, pedicures, perms, ect she has never looked better, especially her now curly blond hair that just got bleached. When she would walk her hair bounced like a spring with each step. But at this point she looks almost like a different person. I feel through all of our heart to hearts that she has little to no body positively because of how she tells me how ugly I am but she still uglier almost one upping me on it. I tell her that through saying Im ugly isn't really something I want her to do but she answers with “ Really Amelia I can't believe that you would say that, that's not even what I said, you are such a bad friend I cant even with you right now”! Even though she does get a little angry sometimes I get it. About how I'm a bad friend and all, and how I end up accusing her for many things even though she didn't do them.

There is something that I'm mad at her about though. It's all her random disappearing she has done from a couple seconds gone to hours of looking for her. Like this one time she disappeared into the night and reapered like lightning. We were sprinting to my house because of the student rain that had just occurred. During the run I looked behind me to see that she had gone missing. So I built up the courage and ran back the way I came with my flashlight that was barely working. I kept running until my legs were so tired that I walked with all my strength just to get to the place we started from. It came to that instead of running I just should have called her instead and that she was probably looking for me too. I took out my phone and saw the first number that popped up on my phone which was 0%. After fully processing that my phone had just died on me in the middle of the night in the middle of a rainstorm. I decided to walk to my nearest corner store struggling to move with my aching feet. Atvetuly when I did get the cashmere let me use her phone with some convincing of course. In my head, I thought of calling Eve or a taxi so I decided to call a taxi assuring myself that she would be alright and she would be fine. When I arrived at my house after a cold 30-minute car ride I stepped outside the car and noticed that the rain had stopped, as the car sped off though a wave of dirty street water punched me in the face. Walking inside freezing I hurriedly put my phone on the charger and ran to the bathroom. As I opened the door I saw someone that I couldn't believe was there in the first place. “Eve” I shouted in surprise! She was standing there scrubbing their hands as a pinkish color washed down the drain. She looked at me with a dull feeling in her eyes and shoved me like she was the one looking for me for over half an hour.

After the long hot shower I took to both get clean and calm my nerves I went to go talk to Eve about where she has been for so long and what was she washing off of her hands? I lay beside her watching what she was looking at on her phone. I asked her where she was for so long and she answered” what do you mean I was gone? You were the one who diapered! And the blood, I mean pink stuff is none of your business’. Not feeling fully fulfilled with her answer I walked to my kitchen thinking nothing of it.

That is just one of the many times she has disapered though, it's not like I'm mad at her, really Im just worried about her since there has been a lot of murder in the area where we both live seance school started. Luckily we are almost always together exempted for the times she does go missing.

“But anyway I'm about to get ready to head out so that me and Eve can go and hang out at the mall. She hasn't really been doing her missing things lately, I really think she has made some improvements. The safety of the town has also gone up and the murders have stopped as well” I tell myself as I put on my jacket getting ready to head out. When I walk out the door I see Eve standing there waiting for me with a gentle smile on her face. We start walking to the mall talking about me and only me, this reminds me of our first day we went walking down the hall with her only wanting to talk about me and only me. I don't Just want to talk about myself but this is what she wants so I just go with it. In times like this when we are walking to a place we have never really talk about her instead we talk about me. Is she hiding something from me? I thought we were best friends. This is all I think about and we walk to the mall silently like there is still a tension between us from when she went missing that one night. At last, we arrive at the mall and head inside. As soon as we take a step inside a gust of air conditioning passes by us like a wave in the ocean. I noticed that we shivered as if we were the same person, as we started walking I looked down to try to match our steps as well. Before I know it I am getting yelled at by someone I accidentally bumped into. Not paying attention to what he was saying to me, I glanced off into the distance looking for Eve when I saw her staring off into the distance. I start running trying to catch up to her. Eventually, I'm about 4 yards away from Eve when I see something that I could never have imagined her doing. I stare and freeze up in fear of what she had just witnessed. Eve hovered over something that I could not make out. I leaned in more to see. Over her shoulder I saw blood pouring out of the person's mouth, while the chest was open, their heart was pulsing out blood, The bones were turned around into them. Then she turns to me with bloodshot eyes. She turned to me and told me to stop and wait when I sprinted off despite the number of people in front of me. I shoved anyone I could to get to my house. Iv noticed that I have never run this fast before and that I could actually beat her to my house. I look back and she is right behind me running behind me with determination. She did catch up with me and tackled me down to the floor where I then blacked out.

In time I do wake up when I did Eve was sitting next to me. Eve was sitting on the end of the bed looking at something on her phone when I she noticed me in the reflection of the mirror in front of the bed silently looking at her. She turns to me and says “ have a nice nap”? I look at the door and sprint out of bed with as much force as my legs could alow me to do. Unfortunately that, wasn't much my legs gave out like a freshly boiled noodles. I could feel my legs at all never could I move then. This is when Eve looks at me with a sinister smile on her face and tells me “ The leg numbing meds will wear off soon, but you wouldn't want to leave any way. There is nothing but land around us and there's also a warrant for your arrest.” I sit there with nothing to say to her knowing what she has done and what she could do to me or anyone else. My legs did come around to being able to move again when they did all I thought was to get out of there. So I looked around making sure no one could see me and I walked through the rusty old cabin. With each step my spin rose like a scared black cat, as I stedaly walked through the cabin. Without realizing it Eve is watching me trying to sleep on the door frame of one of the cabins rooms. She told me “ go ahead, just remember what I told you”.

I ran out the front door as fast as I could while all the bushes, trees, grass scratched up agested my leg, until I got to society. Finally I did get to my town. Everyone was acting normal like it was a normal day. Untell I noticed someones conversation talking about me and how they found me the murder of 14 people that happened in this town. So I accepted my head down and got to somewhere I can get some news paper of something. I heading int a bar where behind him I saw a poster posted 2 mounts ago and that I was the one who was responsible for the 14 murders and that I have gone missing seance the 14th one. “She was right,” I told myself in my head. I go and get some more information about the subject, walking around eventually finding nothing. I came to realize that the only way that I could get some more information on the subject would be through Eve.

When I finally reached the cabin where I woke up I noticed that Eve was almost in the same exact spot that I left waiting for me. I looked at her with both astonished ment and fear because I knew what she had done. She had both turned everyone against me and most likely my family as well.

I ask her what she had done to do this and why and she answered with “ I did comite all thoush murders and blaim them agenst you. But that you just made it easier to do that, when you ran leaving a dead body behind you. I think that looked very suspicious, don't you think. Also how about blaming you was because of how you were the only one to be friends with someone as sketchy as me, I think that makes you kind of gullible and easy to convise that I want the one liked to all the murders even though it was very noticeable.” She left the room leaving me with nothing to do but just give up on all my life. How could I let my life be completely destroyed by my own best friend or so I thought until I came up with an Idea. I went up to Eve with this Idea and told her that I needed her to go turn herself in. Being told this her face first filled you with confusion and that laughter. I told her not just turn herself in But do it under someone else's name or anonymous name. First turn herself in and then run, if she was so good at hiding. This turned out to be a great idea in her head and agreed to doing that as long as I would go do it for her. Knowing that I would either be locked up in prison all my life or in a cabin I built up the courage to go turn her in where I was most likely going to be locked up. I told Eve to go and run and that I still consider her my best friend. She said just to say 2 years later, I always loved you?

Soon I heeded out once again to go turn her in and give my side of the story so that my life doesn't half to be like this anymore. I put on a black hoodie I conveniently found in the closet, which was probably hers on and sought out into my mission.

3 years later I still remind myself about this time in my life and how a murder let me turn her in. This has still confused me today, I mean everything has gotten better and how My life over time is wonderful, but what about hers? What did she do after that? And why did she keep me alive? I mean It would be perfectly reasonable, did Eve really care, I mean that would explain why she let me live. I still love the time we spent together from highs to lows. But why did she do this?
