Smith looked at her sorrowfully, he didn't say anything for a while and they just stared at each other. Then suddenly Smith stood up he walked a bit away from Alexa and then turned to look at her again, he looked as if he was confused, he paced around for a bit before stopping at Alexa's front,
"why are you telling me all this? Do you think it will change the fact that I am going to kill you?" he asked, but Alexa shrugged and replied,
"I don't care if I am going to die today or if you get a change of heart and stop, cause to me I am already half dead," Alexa said and Smith glanced at her injured knee,
"No, not that, it's my heart that's dead. It was broken so hard that it died, first by my, so called fiancé, then by my two best friends, it's so had to continue living or even think that you are alive when you know that people you love and cherish has hatred in their heart towards you," Alexa said and the tears she had been trying so hard to hold back, fell down like a waterfall, Smith felt sad for her a bit, but it didn't let it show in his face, and still had a cold look stuck on his face, he couldn't let sympathy, made him loose the love of his life, so he cocked his gun and pointed it towards Alexa, she looked at him and then she chuckled slightly and said,
"You were right, both of us aren't the same, you were given a chance, while I was fooled, at least, it's better to be a slave than to waste many years of your life thinking that you were loved," Alexa said and then laughed dryly,
"Don't call me a slave," Smith said annoyed,
"I..."
"And stop making me feel sorry for you it's not going to work, my heart belongs to Cassandra and if killing you will make her acknowledge my feelings and accept them, trust me I am going to do it with any remorse," Smith said, he looked a bit crazy as he spoke while gritting his teeth furiously,
"I am not trying to make you feel sorry for me, I am just surprised on how I couldn't see the signs that I was being fooled," Alexa said,
"the signs it was so clear, the clear avoidance, he would deceive about his locations, he would block my number for almost a week, and would finally call when he needs something from me, oh how could I not see, the public humiliations, he would always yell at me at any tiny mistake, mostly in public, then when we are alone, he would coax me with sweet words, saying he was trying to prove to everyone that he was a good and faithful fiancé, and I would stupidly believe, I mean what type of excuse was that but I would still believe it and forgive him, forgetting that my reputation was ruined and I was labeled a spoilt brat, who can't do anything right. I would always bring food to his apartment anytime he was hungry, I wouldn't care if it was middle of the night or day time, I would go there, although I knew that he only called me to lure me to have sex with him, but I would go, and when I refuse him, he would send me out in the freezing cold, he would seize all my cards, keys and phone, so I would walk all the way home and I wouldn't mind cause seeing him, angry, hurt, hungry and stressed, hurts me so much, but just now, he didn't care if I had had enough, he kept throwing hurtful words at me. I was so stupid and blindly in love," Alexa said and she sobbed uncontrollably, she let her mind drifted to some memories of when it was so obvious that Edward didn't love her and was only using her,
"Stop telling me those things, it's none of my business and have you forgotten I have a gun and I just cocked it, and all that is left for you to be dead is for me to pull the trigger…"
"There wouldn't be need for that whether you pull the trigger or not I am going to die," "what do you mean?" and at that moment a bottle of poison fell from Alexa's car and rolled closed to Smith's leg before stopping, Smith eyes widen and then he bent down and slowly picked up the bottle,
"You drank poison?!" Smith said softly, but deep down he was worried what if Cassandra rejected him, because he wasn't the one who actually killed Alexa, she killed herself,
"I was warned, cautioned and advised, I don't think I have the guts to face the one who saw the signs I was too blinded in love to see," Alexa said softly, the poison had started having effect on her and it had affected her strength, she looked up at Smith and he had a dark expression on his face, he still held the bottle of poison,
"Do you know why I didn't asked you for the reason why Cassandra wants me dead?" Alexa said and then Smith looked at her,
"I always felt it, I had a feeling that she hated me but I couldn't talk it out with her, cause if I did back then it would sound like I was saying my best friend, someone who we grew up together and were inseparable when we were kids hated, but tonight I found out that it doesn't matter how long you know someone, they can betray you and hate you," Alexa paused and looked at the expression on Smith's face, but it was expressionless and then she continued,
"I always suspected that she wanted me to fail and be hurt, there was a time when I wanted to confront her about what I felt, but the day I got the courage to do so, she threw a surprise Birthday party for me and all the bad feelings I had swept away, I even blamed myself suspecting my best friend for wishing me bad and now I blame myself from being loose and stupid," Alexa said and then coughed, she covered mouth with her hands and when she withdrew her hands it was stained with blood, Alexa smiled dryly and then looked at Smith,
"you know no one would tell Cassandra how I died, so do what you have to do," Alexa said and the coughed out more blood, staining her lips which had turned pale white because of the immerse pain she felt, she was really strong in holding the pain and only squeezed her face and groaned to show that she in serious pain,
" are you sure?" Smith asked eagerly,
" You ask as if you care," Alexa said and Smith chuckled, she was right he didn't care all he wanted was to be accepted by Cassandra,
" And yeah I'm sure and it's only right at least one of us get to have our love, but remember if I want to take my revenge you would be on my list," Alexa said and it made Smith chuckled then he pointed the gun towards Alexa, smirking,
" Then, I looked forward to your revenge,"
" END MY PAIN!"
