CEMA BRIDGE*

★

"Stop it, you're prettier" Emory said.

"Also... Axel is my stepbrother-to-be. His mum will be getting married to my royal father next month" Rebekah continued.

"That's some big secret over there" Morgan said.

"Sorry for keeping it this long, but he was being a cûnt" Rebekah said.

"We'll celebrate it later" Pearl said, then they all faced Lizzy who has been silent.

"Liz?" Rebekah called.

"Huh? Nothing. My hands are clean" Lizzy smiled, and silent fell in the circle for like three minutes, just the sound of their breathings.

"Aren't you tired?" Morgan voiced out.

"What do you mean?" Lizzy said innocently, and Pearl slapped her furiously.

Lizzy staggered and fell on the bridge rails, her hair sprawling over her face.

"Stop pretending!!! You've been tormenting me Lizzy. What have I ever done to you! Why are you doing it just tell me!!" Pearl yelled.

Silence happened again, and Lizzy stayed still for a minute before looking up sharply, her hair still over her face.

She laughed sickly, shocking the three of them before smirking.

"So you found out already? And you brought me here to burn me?" She said callously.

"I loved you the most Lizzy. I called you every night to ask about your health. I almost lost it that night when Rook and his gang kidnapped you!!" Pearl said.

"That night was the happiest night of my life! I threw myself a big party when I got home cos I was so happy that Banks came to save me" Lizzy snapped.

"Why!!!" Pearl shouted.

"Cos I love him!!!" Lizzy shouted back, her eyes reddening.

"What!" The three chorused in shock.

"Yes I do, but y'all only care about yourselves, and that's why you never noticed how I always look at him. Since our year one, whenever the four of us are together, he always stared at our direction. My foolish self thought he was staring at me, and I liked it, I like his eyes and how they look at me, but then we resumed this semester and I found out he was never staring at me. It was you Pearl! It has always been you!" Lizzy yelled.

"So you decided to kill her? The freezer, the chain unlock at Forte, the fire" Rebekah said.

"The night in school before we went to Forte. We all arrived before Pearl, but you excused yourself to go to the restroom and spent almost twenty minutes. Was that when you carried out the freezer mission? Oh you're insane!" Morgan spat.

"Yes I'm insane!!!!" Lizzy laughed, tears pooling in her eyes.

"I love him and I want him and I hate how he treats you Pearl! I hate that you're prettier and curvy! I hate that you're in school!! I hate you!!!" She continued, still holding the rails.

"The pènis pictures, you sent them" Pearl muttered.

"Pictures? I sent you just one dîck picture last week, hoping you'd get triggered and die" Lizzy replied, and Morgan took off her shoes, throwing them angrily at her.

"Shame on you Lizzy Greene! Shame on your fuçking ass! I regret ever meeting you... you're sick!!" Morgan shouted painfully.

"This is over" Roonie's voice said, and he climbed the bridge with the guys including Rook.

He's holding his gun, aiming at Lizzy already.

Lizzy froze completely, and Pearl quickly rushed to Pearl.

"Don't... don't pull it... don't shoot her" she said shakily, but his eyes are dark, and he's not hearing a thing.

"The right punishment would be to take her and cut her into skewers, but I'm killing her on the spot cos I don't wanna see her face anymore after today. I knew about it since we returned from Forte but decided to keep quiet and throw her the chance to come back to her fuçking senses, but she blew it off, and now I'm blowing her fuçking head" he muttered.

"No...you can't. She's a devil but I still don't want you to pull the trigger on her. Roonie please... please!!!" She cried,

"I'll kill your parents even if they're the ones who hurt you. I wasn't bluffing when I said that...fox" he said, looking at her finally.

"Roonie I'm begging you don't kill her, don't...

He pulled her closer with his left hand, and she hiccupped tearfully as he brought his lips to her face, kissing her tears.

Lizzy's hands tightened on the rails, and she cried more...

Rebekah and Morgan stepped back.

"Even in my own story, I'm the fuçking villain. Hate me all you want" Roonie muttered, his lips wet with Pearl's tears as he pulled the trigger on Lizzy.

Lizzy got hit on the heart, and Pearl covered her mouth as she fell over the bridge and began falling into the river.

"No!!!!!"
