Betrayal

2 years passed by after all that had happened, me and Jonah haven’t seen the ghost since. Akashi started to work a few weeks ago and Jonah got with my friend, Noah. I moved out of my apartment and into a small cozy house with a garden and a cat, and Jonah moved in with her boyfriend. Me Jonah and Noah are all thinking about hanging out some time this week, we’re going to a walking trail with beautiful cherry blossom trees. When it was time to go, I made sure to bring a pocket knife with me just in case of any danger. I got into my car and went to pick up Noah and Jonah, they got into the car and I drove to the cherry blossom trees. It took 1 hour to get there but when we arrived we went to a sushi bar near by. After eating we went to the walking trail to view the beautiful trees. Noah needed to use the restroom and told me and Jonah to keep walking. Me and Jonah both agreed and walked away. It was starting to turn dark and it was getting cold out. So me and Jonah waited for Noah at a bench. We walked a couple miles away from where Noah was so we had to wait for him to find us. I thought I heard Noah coming but Jonah said she didn’t hear anything. I wanted to go see if it was Noah or if it was a random person so I got up and told Jonah I was going to see who it was. She nodded and said to be careful. When I started to walk over to where I heard the footsteps, there was no one there. Then my vision went blank, I woke up a few moments later, but I couldn’t control my body. It was moving on its own, i heard someone in my head say, “do not worry, everything will be ok.” My body started to walk over to Jonah. “Are you ok Ava? You look sick” said Jonah. She asked if I was ok but I couldn’t respond, something was controlling my body and I couldn’t do anything about it. All of a sudden I couldn’t feel anything anymore. My hand started to reach for my pocket knife, Jonah stood up and started to walk over to me to see what was going on. Then 3 seconds later I couldn’t see anything but i could hear it all. Screaming,crying in pain, it was Jonah. Something was happening but I didn’t know what. When I woke up my hands were covered in blood. I was sitting on top of Jonah with my pocket knife in my hand. Noah came rushing over, when he saw what had happened he called the police. When the police arrived they pulled me off of Jonah and took me to the cop car. When we got to the cop car they put me in hand cuffs and told me to get in the car. When we got to the police station, they questioned me before locking me behind bars. That was the day I had lost my best friend.

2 months later my brother had figured out what happened. He came straight to the police station to talk with me about what I did and why I did it. I told him it wasn’t me, but he didn’t believe me. He said his goodbyes and then left. 10 months later it was Jonah’s birthday.

A year has passed and I finally got let out of jail. Akashi let me stay with him for a while. When I got let out of jail Noah tried to kill me several times, but I don’t blame him. 2 years has passed since I killed my best friend. I grabbed a rope from out of the junk drawer ashi had in his kitchen, I tied it around the ceiling fan in the bedroom while standing on a chair. Once it was secured, I put my neck around the rope and tipped the chair over. A minute had pasted, I heard Ashi walking toured the room i was in. When he opened the door he looked up and saw me, he rushed over and tried to get me down. After I few seconds I blacked out.

For some reason I ended up in the mental hospital. Ashi called mom and told her about what happened. They flew to France as fast as possible, and came to see how I was doing. When I got out of the mental hospital, I went with Akashi to a bridge with beautiful mountains in Japan. I said to Akashi “thank you.”Before I tried to jump off, but he stopped me. After viewing the mountains it was time to head back home since we were only visiting family. Our uncle paid the fee for our flight, then we boarded the plain and waited patiently to land.

When the plain had finally landed Akashi took me to his house, since he can’t trust we after I killed my best friend. I started going back to school a week later, and I made a new friend. Her name is Jules, she reminds me a lot of Jonah. Me and Jules started to hang out a lot and since we have been friends for a while now, me and Jules decided to go to a indoor water park. I asked Ashi if we could go and he said, “sure, it’s been a while since I’ve been to something like that.” I went to my room to message Jules, I told her to grab her swimsuit and head over. 15 minutes later I heard a knock on the door, Akashi went to open it and I followed behind him. When he opened the door, Jules squealed in excitement and ran to hug me. We had been planning to do this for months, so we both went to go change into our swimsuits. Jules had a green and blue checkered bikini and I had a red and black swimsuit that covered both my legs and arms. Ashi changed into his favorite swim trunks and we headed to the indoor water park. Once we arrived, we had to go check in so we had a room to rest in after. When they told us the room number we went to look for it, after a couple minutes we found our room and put our stuff on the beds. We each grabbed a towel and headed to the water area first since mine and Akashi’s favorite part of water parks are the big water slides. Jules said she didn’t want to go down there but I insisted since I haven’t had this much fun in forever. It took a lot of convincing but finally Jules agreed, when we got to the top of the stairs we grabbed a big tube for four people and went down the slide. Jules was screaming her head off since it was the first time she had ever went down one, when we arrived at the end she wanted to do it again but me and Akashi wanted to do a different slide since that one was too fast. Luckily we all made it to the bathroom on time unless we would have threw up in the water. After we went to a even bigger slide, we went to the stairs and stood in line, when we finally got to the top our legs and feet were hurting so we were ready to get into some water at the end. We grabbed the tube and sat it down on the water, once we were ready the lifeguard named Bob pushed us down the slide. We were hanging on for dear life when the big drop came ahead of us, Jules’s face was pale as a ghost so me and Akashi both looked behind us and saw pitch black. All of a sudden we were falling really fast down the slide since it was a even bigger drop then before, when we got to the bottom we were done with slides for the day. We went to the lazy river to swim under water and prank little kids by grabbing there feet and pulling them under water. When it was time to go back to our room we were starving, me and Jules asked if Akashi could order pizza. Akashi said, “fine but only because you two are behaving.” I can’t believe he said that to a almost 19 year olds.

After the pizza arrived we laid in our beds and put on a movie to watch. After we finished the pizza it was already late so we went to bed.

When it was finally time to head home we dropped Jules off at her house and went home. Once we got home we went inside to take showers then we sat down to eat dinner. It’s been 3 years since Jonah died, I miss her so much. When her birthday came around it was almost new years since her birthday is December 30th. We celebrate it every year to remember her. Noah, Jonah’s boyfriend, came to visit us. He said he was sorry for everything and asked if we could be friends. I looked at Ashi and looked back it him and said no. Although I forgave him I still don’t trust him, after new years came around my birthday also came soon after. I turned 19 and Jonah is 20. A month passed, Jules asked if I wanted to go to the movies with her so I said yes. When it was finally time to meet up, me and Akashi got into the car and headed to the movie theater. When we arrived, we waited outside for Jules to arrive. It had already been 2 hours and it was already 4pm. I tried calling Jules 5 times but she wouldn’t pick up. A few minutes later her dad calls and tells me that Jules had gotten into a car crash on her way here. After he hung up I started bawling my eyes out, I told Akashi what Jules’s dad had said and he dropped me off at the hospital she was taken to. When I got to the front desk I asked the nurse if she could take me to the room Jules was in. She told me to go sit in the waiting room since Jules had just gotten to the hospital 30 minutes ago. When it was finally time the nurse called on me and escorted me to her room. I opened the door and walked over to where her parents were standing. They turned to me in tears and said, “they tried everything they possibly could.. but they couldn’t get her back.” I broke down in tears after I had heard what they said. I thought to myself, “how could this happen? It’s all my fault. First it was Jonah, and now Jules?” I couldn’t stop myself from crying so Akashi had to come in and get me. He took me home and we had a talk. He signed me up for therapy since I needed someone to talk to after all that had happened.
