Chapter 14: Disbelief
Elizabeth's POV
I don't care about anything. Look at me. Worrying about wether a guy likes me or not when a bitch is killing my friend. I've had enough of it. I'm not going to let this one go. Ever. And neither will the rest of us.
"Elizabeth?" Blake asked, letting me out of the grasp of his comforting arms. We were in the car, Xavier driving to the hospital.
"Yes?" I asked dully. I didn't know why people like Karenella had to live on the face of the Earth.
"What are you thinking about?"
"What I'm thinking?! I'm thinking about how my friend almost died because she thinks she's a waste of space, Blake!" Sophie had stopped sobbing, but when I said that, she bawled loudly.
"It's okay, Sophie," Max reassured her, rubbing her back.
"Nothing is okay, Max!" Cici snapped. Her face was red and her mascara was running. Angel looked up at her with sad eyes. Angel sat on the floor of the car because we didn't want to take separate mini vans. "Samantha could have..."
"Baby, no. She's still alive. Be thankful for that," Angel said, holding her hand. Cici wiped off the tears that ran down her face and gave a loving look to him.
"We're here, guys," Xavier finally said, parking the car. We all looked at each other and ran out the mini van and into the hospital.
"We're here to see Samantha Jacobs," Abby said to a lady at the front desk at the hospital. The lady looked at all of us and then typed something into her computer.
"Second floor, room 107."
"Thank you so much!" We sprinted to the elevator and squeezed in. Blake pushed the button and once the elevator door opened, we ran through the hallway until we found room 107. I slowly opened the door to find Nick sitting right next to Samantha holding her hand. It had one of those heart clip things on it. Sophie put her hands over her mouth in and started to cry. Cici just stood there with disbelief. Tears started to run down Abby's face. The guys comforted us with hugs.
Nick finally got up and walked to me. "We need to talk," he whispered in my ear. I nodded and walked out of the room with him.
"Look at this." He handed me Samantha's phone that was opened to a conversation with Karen.
Karen- Why r u so happy? Ur sooo UGLY!!! That's why u don't have a bf
Samantha- Why should you care?
Karen- Everyone has a bf. Or at least the people that matter, anyways...
Samantha- Thats not true. Everyone matters
Karen- Thats wat u keep tellin urself, right? Ugh, ur so dumb
Samantha- Everyone's smart, Karen. And so are you. So why are you doing this? It has no purpose.
Karen- Ur just a waste in space. No 1 likes u. Even ur friends don't hang out with u that much. Everyone thinks ur dumb and ugly. Just face the facts
Samantha- That's not true
Karen- YOU ARE A LOSER. YOU ARE STUPID. YOU ARE UGLY. NO ONE LIKES YOU. NOT EVEN YOUR FRIENDS. WHY DONT YOU JUST KILL YOURSELF ALREADY?! NO ONE WILL EVEN NOTICE YOU ARE GONE! YOU THINK EVERYONE CARES ABOUT YOU?! YOU DONT MATTER IN THIS WORLD!!!!!!!!
My hands were shaking at this point. Nick looked at me and took the phone away from me.
"There's more, but you don't need to see that," he finally said.
"She's a monster, Nick," I said blankly. I didn't want to believe the things I'd just read.
"I'm going to go back in there, okay?"
"Yea. I'm gonna stay out here for a bit." I sat in a chair and watched Nick go back into the room. Samantha was strong. But she had given up. And I wasn't mad about that. No one should be treated like that.
I didn't know how much time had gone past. I just stared out and thought about everything. Everything from birth to death. From Adam and Eve to me. I was always consumed in thoughts, but not as bad as I was now. I didn't even notice when Blake sat next to me and held my hand to his chest.
"Elizabeth," he whispered, snapping me out of my mind. He looked at my face and wiped the tears off with the sleeve from his jacket. I looked into his eyes. His piercing green eyes I fell for. He trying to say something to me, but couldn't for some reason. I kept sinking. So many emotions were being thrown all over the place. I didn't know what was happening to me.
I leaned in and softly kissed Blake's soft lips. And he kissed back. We drowned into each other, getting deeper the longer we kissed. Blake pulled me closer to him until we slowly stopped. I looked at him and he gave me a fast smirk.
"Guys, it's pretty late. We got to get going," Xavier said, everyone walking out of the room.
"Give me a minute," I said. I never even talked to Samantha. I was too afraid to see her like that. I didn't want to do anything to hurt her. And Karen was kind of right. I hadn't been spending a lot of time with her. I needed to speak to her. Now. So I ran into the room and sat right in front of her.
"Samantha," I started to say. "I'm sorry I didn't say anything earlier."
"It's okay. You're not the one who should be sorry."
"No. Don't say that. Don't let that bitch bring you down. I should have said that a long time ago."
"I'm not strong enough, Elizabeth. It's okay. No one is." She was right about that. We all have weaknesses. She had problems at home, and with the added weight of Karen on her shoulders, she collapsed. She didn't know how to handle it. But I knew how to.
It was time to talk to Blake about being his partner in crime.
