Kim walked out of the house and quietly headed to her car.
Her thoughts kept running miles per minute and she couldn't help but recall Justin's words
flash back💕
"why don't you want me to tell Chris and Chloe about my identity, I fell horrible lieing to them like this" Kim complained to her best friend Justin, well her other best friend aside from Chloe anyway.
"what does it matter whether you tell them your identity or not aren't you protecting them by not telling them your identity?" he tells me in a calm bored like voice, not like any subject that doesn't involve an adrenaline rush can change that tone anyway,
and yes, my best friend is an adrenaline junkie
get over it , I have...
but he did have a point there, being what I am isn't easy, dragging my normal boyfriend and best friend into this just feels wrong
sighing, I look at my unfinished burger a little sadness washing over me that I have to hide secrets from people I'm supposed to trust.
on the bright side, I have Justin, the only person I can share both my lives with
flash back end💕
I'm starting to think that was a good idea, after all with them betraying me on simple things like a relationship what would happen if I told them big secrets, and besides they don't seem to find anything wrong with it, its like they find it normal that what they're doing is right and from that I know they never cared about me.
as I'm about to open the door to the car, I hear my ex best friend calmly call me
"Kim wait"
"what is it" surprisingly my voice is coldly calm,
oh shit, no no no no no no no
please not now, please,
taking a deep breath, I slowly feel that numbing feeling receding slowly and I breath out in relief before turning around and emotionlessly look at both Chris and Chloe
and yes, they came out together like some sort of power couple chasing the mistress that keeps bugging them away
I almost snort at the thought of that but I know for sure mother would probably come back to life just to scold me at how unladylike that is
a smile subconsciously comes out at the thought of my mother
a smile that unknown to me makes cold sweat drip from Chris and Chloe's backs at how cold it looks to them
"we knew you might not take it well if you'd known we were in a relationship what with your parents dyi..." Chloe starts to explain but I mean, what kind of shitty explanation would ever cover up the fact that they betrayed me, its not like I was in love with Chris, granted we dated for two years, but that was more like a platonic relationship than anything else, I never so much as kissed the guy, the furthest we'd ever gone was hand holding.
I think I only dated him because according to Justin, I need a shield from all the crazy men out there that couldn't take no for an answer before I did something drastic that would probably be against the law to make them accept that no
" is that supposed to be an explanation?" my cold voice asks
" you weren't in the right state of mind to know about us Kim" Chris responds
"you do not have the right to call me Kim anymore, and what, are you going to play the orphan game with me, I could not know about the both of you because my parents just died a year ago and I started wallowing in self pity , so to comfort me you started having sex with my best friend right, how gentlemanly of you, to offer your body up like that I pity you, really"
"you..." Chloe exclaimed, seemingly a little lost for words
"its alright, I know why you hid this from me, you were afraid that what just happened a while ago would come to pass, too bad, it already happened, I'm breaking all ties with you after I drive away from here, I don't know you, you don't know me, and that would mean your little plan of temporarily marrying then killing me to make all of my family fortune yours will wither away into nothingness, well I apologize for that, I will take my leave now"
I open the door to my car, slumming it shut while I start the engine leaving the dumb struck idiots behind, I should have done that a long time ago
you might wonder how I knew about the whole stealing my family fortune thing, well my parents taught me to trust no one that does not know of the family secret, my family secret, I bugged Chloe and Chris's houses since the first time they came into my life
I learned about the whole plan a week after Justin persuaded me not to tell them about my family secret, again, got to trust the guy's judgment, he's a genius
coming today was to end all ties between me and Chris, never expected to see this scene, I think I'm more upset with Chloe's betrayal than anything else, she's probably the chess piece he planted near me he was talking about
poor Chloe, how sad that she doesn't know she's nothing but a chess piece, but that's not my business anymore
while my thoughts where running a thousand miles per minute, I don't notice the huge truck moving at a very high speed coming towards me
I don't know what happened next, i was hanging upside down when I heard my uncle's voice, they were talking about how to end Justin next, funny, family can't be trusted after all
I don't know how I managed to call Justin, the one person that cared for me in this world the one person I considered family, I had to warn him, he had to hide
" Kim" came the same bored tone I hear every time I call him, I failed to notice how strained it was, the pain he was trying to hide in it, how he was gritting his teeth probably holding back a scream, I failed to notice how I had already failed my only remaining family before I could save him
" jus, you have to run" came a calm emotionless voice, the numbness spreading in me and this time I don't stop it
"can't Kim, already have a bullet in my heart" justin replies
"oh, are you at headquarters?" a cold emotionless voice replies, it feels like its me and not me at the same time, like I'm watching everything unfold on the side lines and I can't do anything about the emotionless robot I'm turning into
I drag myself out of the car taking the gun I keep under my car seat with me, ignoring the pain from every inch of my body, I don't even know where I got the energy to move
" yes, what triggered you" Justin asks calmly
" probably the fact that I'll be dying in the next hour or so from excess bleeding and the broken bone that punctured my lung, "
"oh, they got you too then" he says, did I ever mention I was a twin,
aiming my gun at the backs of the people that killed me, weren't they ever taught to never turn your back on your enemy
" we go down with a bang" and I shoot.
