Chapter 29
I didn’t bother with her anymore, I just let her do her thing and whenever she chose to come out of it she would. I went to the movies with Alex instead and he showered me with so much love and affection… for the first time in a long time I was actually happy, happy for us, happy for the world to see. We made out in the cinema, made out in his car after the movie, made out when he dropped me off at my hostel.
“When will I get to see you again my love?” Alex asked, rubbing my chin affectionately.
“I don’t know yet sweetie, I still have to take care of Eva and with exams coming-” Alex shut me up with a passionate kiss which lingered for minutes before we broke apart panting hard.
“I have to go now, it’s getting late,” I said, smiling.
“I want you to have something before you go” Alex produced a red medium sized teddy with the words “I will always love you” written on the chest in italic font.
“Awww Nnnn it’s so cute, I love you so much Alex” I hugged him.
“I’m glad you like it, it will always be a reminder of our love” We kissed again before I exited his car with my new teddy, I was so eager to tell Eva all about my wonderful day with Alex, I rushed up the stairs with lightning speed almost tripping myself halfway. When I got into my room it was empty, Eva wasn’t there and her bed had been arranged as if she hadn’t slept on it that day, I searched the whole dorm for her but I couldn’t find her so I started listing a few places she could have gone to and Chase’s house was leading the top ten so I decided to go look for her there.
I arrived at Chase’s extravagant crib close to eight o’clock. If Eva had been here then Chase must’ve been teaching her some kind of lesson so I came prepared ready to fight for my friend. I got inside without knocking because he left the door unlocked, when in the living room I shouted his name as loud as I could to get his attention, he came out a few seconds later yawning.
“What are you doing in my house? It’s late” He asked, rubbing his eyes.
“Where is Eva, what have you done to her?” I asked the two questions as one.
“I don’t know where Eva is, I haven’t seen her for days and I haven’t done anything to your missing friend”.
“Don’t give me that crap I know she’s in here somewhere, you’re probably hiding her and using her for your own pleasure you monster!!” I cried.
“Okay this joke is getting too crazy, I don’t know what you’re talking about and what’s more I will not be accused of such things in my HOUSE!!” Chase was getting irritated now, what was I thinking coming here without any means of protecting myself against this wild brute.
“If she’s not here then where is she?” I stalling trying to think of a way to escape.
“I don’t know!! Better get your facts right before barging into someone’s house” Chase was advancing slowly now, I backed up slowly too.
“She’ll never forgive you for what you did to her!! “.
“Who cares about her forgiveness? All I care about right now is this incredible hottie standing in front of me” Chase said seductively, coming closer and closer.
“You’re just a sick bastard Chase, first you used and abused my best friend and now you’re trying to make me your victim” I was so angry right now.
“You don’t have to be called a victim but if that’s what you choose to call yourself it’s fine by me” He has backed me into the kitchen now and there’s no other way out other than going around him and he’s not going to let me do that.
‘I wish I had brought a gun’ I thought to myself.
“Ever since our fight my body has been yearning for you Skyler, you’re so fierce and vibrant it’s turning me on ” I saw a boner elongating from his drawls.
“Don’t sweat it kid, you can’t have me” I said sarcastically.
“What I can’t have, I collect by force” With that he made a move to grab my neck but I dodged and backed away from him again.
“Nice, I see you are pretty agile as well. But how long can you dodge huh?” He clutched at me again and this time I couldn’t dodge on time, he caught me and pulled me against his chest.
“Alex can’t handle your fire, let me show you I can love you better” His words sparked my anger like a matchstick soaked in petrol. I kicked his balls making him crumple on the floor in pain, I ran for the door but discovered it had been locked mysteriously. I turned around to see him limping towards me with anger and killer intent.
“You bitch!! I’ll make sure you pay for this” He pounced on me and started choking me. I fought for air as his hands tightened around my neck, my vision started blacking out slowly. My hands searched for a weapon or anything I could use to get him off me and I stumbled on a wooden decoration mantelpiece, I swung it as hard as I could and the sharp edge collided with his skull fracturing it in the process. Chase slumped on the floor lifeless, I disentangled myself from him and massaged my throat which was aching seriously. I went into the kitchen to drink some water to ease the painful throbbing in my throat.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Chase was still on the floor when I came back from the kitchen. I checked his pulse, checked if he was breathing but I got nothing….. I had killed Chase Beckmann. At first I panicked not knowing what to do then I decided the best thing to do is to get rid of the evidence and his body as soon as possible, I found a pair of leather gloves in his backyard shed with it I cleaned the damage we caused during our struggle and I loaded his body into his car and drove off to a bridge far outside campus.
With the gloves on I arranged Chase’s limp body in the drivers seat and pushed his car into the river so it will look like an accident more than a murder and I’m thankful I didn’t mark his body else it would be traced back to me. When I got back to my hostel I found Eva in high spirits which was a very surprising thing.
“Hey Skyler, where have you been?” Eva asked cheerfully.
“I was out uhh…. running a few errands” I lied.
“What’s that mark on your neck?”.
“Oh, that? You know Alex and his love bites” I chuckled.
“Enough about me, where have you been? And why the good mood?” I was surprised.
“I went on a blind date with a guy I met online, it was at the jazz club and it was mad fun” Eva rapped on cheerfully, I’m glad to see her back to her normal self but the deed had already been done.
“Are you okay Skyler? You look lost” Eva’s question snapped me back to life.
“Uh…. Oh I am just so happy for you, you’ve finally gotten over that Chase”
“Yes I have, ugh I can’t believe I fell for him in the first place” Her words made me so happy. Eva became her normal cherry self and the killer of Chase was never discovered because the police thought it was an accident, and Eva and I became best friends once again…. Until her shocking betrayal.
