Chapter 25

"So what am I supposed to do?" I asked her, my voice shaking as I turned around in my chair to look at her, "I'm really scared..." 

"I was too. Imagine going through something like this when you're only 18 years old," Beverly said to me as she sat down on my bed and crossed her legs, "I went through it all alone," she paused, "and you should too." 

"I can't do it alone. I need help, I don't know how- I don't know how to kill someone, Beverly." 

"Ay," she smirked, "neither do I. I don't know what you're talking about," she said ignorantly and I sighed and pouted, looking down at my shaking hands. My breaths were coming out shorter than before. 

"Please help me, Beverly," I begged her softly and looked around the room like someone was going to magically pop out from around the corner and catch me, send me to Aebischer and then I'd be punished
