CHAPTER 16

JANE POV

"Was this all a dream? Was Noah dead? Was it all a prank? Why did he take the bullet for me? I just couldn't believe this was happening to me." That was the only thought that kept wandering around jane's mind, she couldn't help it as a hot stream of tears kept dripping from her eyes. She wanted to stop crying but she wasn't in control of how shattered her heartfelt then.

She watched as Marcus' guard dumped her into one of Marcus' bedrooms and locked her inside. She tried to open the door but found out it was locked from outside. She didn't know what to do as she kept looking for something to try to open the door which was locked from outside, she had tried everything she could think of but it wasn't giving in.

She got tired of trying. She sat on the floor and began to tear up again, she couldn't help it as she kept hitting her head on the door. She couldn't forgive herself after killing the love of her life, she was the cause of Noah's death. she was nothing in this world without Noah, Since Noah was dead, she was also going to end her own life.

She decided to search through the drawer to see if she could find any pistol. Lucky for her! She found a tiny sharp knife. She was about to tear herself open so she can bleed out and die but the door opened and the last person she expected to be in Marcus' house, was right in front of her.

"Mary? Are you alright, did this monster get a hold of you too?" I asked trying to move closer to her but she moved some inches back. "Don't ever refer to the man I love as a monster," Mary said firmly. Did I just understand what she had said or was I into some drugs?

"What do you mean by the man you love?" I asked like a confused puppy. "What didn't you understand exactly? The fact that I love Marcus or the fact that you don't even know I had told on you guys." She said firmly.

Was she the cause of all this? "Why did you do this? What exactly did you gain?" I asked in bitterness and tears. I moved to where she stood and pushed her on the floor, I climbed on top of her and kept choking her neck with my hands! Because of her, we were in this mess. Because of her, Noah was dead. She should be the dead one instead of Noah.

I was still choking her neck with my bare hands when I got hijacked from Mary. She didn't seem disturbed about what I had just done to her, she stared at me before laughing hard. Was she mocking me right now? I couldn't believe I had been friends with her ever since I came to camp. Why didn't I ever find her suspicious?

"You think you have won? What is the point in betraying all of us?" I screamed asked her. "Well, I think the answer should be, hmmm, Fuck you," She said while trying to stand up from the floor. I immediately released my hands from the guard who held me and pushed her on the floor again, I climbed on her and kept giving her some hot slaps. Yes, Mary deserved more than a slap right now.

The guard kept pulling me from Mary until the door opened widely and Marcus walked inside. He moved towards me and slapped me on the face. "Who do you think you are? How dare you walk into our lives and mess everything up? How dare you make me kill the one person I had left." He said while coming closer to me. I kept taking each step backward as he kept coming closer.

I couldn't move backward any longer as I have come in contact with the last bus stop which was the wall. He came closer to me and held my neck, he used his bare hands to choke on my neck. I couldn't breathe! I kept hitting my laps and struggling. I guess Mary felt he was gonna choke me to death anytime soon, so she immediately distracted him. "Marcus? You should take care of the mess, I mean Noah." She said making Marcus realize his senses.

I didn't want her helping me out. If he was going to kill me, he should just fucking do it. I was already sick and tired of living in this world, what did I ever do to God? Wasn't he seeing my pain? I wished this could come to an end.

"The pain of losing a father, mother, sister, and No...ahhh." I thought in mind as I kept crying and my breath kept confiscating. Even if Noah was dead, I was mad at him for collecting a bullet for me, Why does this have to hurt so much.

Marcus stared at me one last time before leaving the room. Mary glanced at me also before leaving, I stood up and decided to try the window. I tried to slide it up but I guess it was locked! What was I thinking? They obviously wouldn't be that stupid to leave it open, I stared at the sky through the window and my eyes became watery again.

"Noah? I know you tried your best for me, for the fact that You tried to keep me alive. I want you to know that I am very sorry for being this selfish! I just couldn't understand why you took the bullet for me but I promise you that, I shall try to avenge your death." I said as I brought out his necklace and kissed it. I couldn't help it as the tears kept falling from my eyes.

I kept crying until I finally fell asleep. I was woken up from my deep slumber as someone opened the door, law and behold it was Noah most trusted guard. "I thought you ditched us?" I asked in tears. "No, I didn't." He said as he locked the door behind us.

"Then, why didn't you stay with us! Maybe to try to defend us or something?" I asked. "Because Noah had a plan B for us." He said smiling at me. I didn't understand what he meant by a plan B but I needed to use the restroom real quick. I asked him for the direction of the restroom which he immediately showed me. as soon as I walked inside, I went in the direction of the sink and puked.
