Girl Next Door ✔️

Chapter 40

Isn't it lovely?

All alone.

Heart made of glass.

My mind of stone.

Tear me to pieces.

Skin to bone.

Hello, welcome home.

I turned off the radio, as I parked my car near the cemetery.

Five hours. It took me five hours to Reach here, and it was worth it.

Stepping out of the car, I realized it was cloudy, it might rain soon.

But it didn't matter. I was finally here.

I walked inside the cemetery, taking in my surrounding.

This place is so lonely.

I saw thousands of graves, but my eyes were searching for a particular one.

Walking forward, I stopped infront of the particular grave I wanted to see.

Jasmine Davis.
2000-2017

"Why did you leave me? You knew I couldn't survive a day without you. I hate you for leaving me here, all alone. You have to come back to me." I said, staring at her stone.

I know she couldn't hear me, or respond, or...

I  just missed her.

"I hate you, so so much. Now that you're gone, I understand what it feels like, being the odd one out. I finally understand that you always lied to me. You said we were besties till death and we would stay together even after death. Then who gave you the right to die? I didn't. You ha-have to come back to me. You have to." I said, my voice breaking a little in the end.

I heard my own mocking voice inside my head.

She'll never come back. She's dead.

"Shut up! She will come back. For me." I shouted at myself.

"It's been more than a year, and I still miss you as if you were gone for a week's vacation. Do you even know what's going on? Tyler isn't the same anymore, all he wants to do is avenge for your death. I am not the same anymore. I have forgotten how to live. I don't do girl's night anymore, I don't do one night stands. I've finally given up on myself. I don't even know what I will do in the future. Maybe I should just die--" I jumped when I heard someone's very familiar voice from my behind.

"Don't say that."

Turning around, I saw George Davis standing there.

George was Jasmine's elder brother. He was like two years older than me.

"Then what should I do? I don't have a normal life anymore!" I almost screamed, my voice cracking in the end.

"Never give up on yourself Xandra." He said, his tone somewhat telling me that he was still a depressed man.

"I could say the same for you." I said, A small drop of water dropping on my cheek.

It was about to rain.

"Do you miss her?" He asked instead.

"A lot." I said, kneeling down on my knees, as I stared at her stone.

"Then take care of yourself. She would've never wanted to see you like this." He said, as he stood beside me.

A small tear escaped from my right eye, and I couldn't bear it anymore.
