"Demi? " I furiously asked as she turned around to face me.
"Bella! What are you doing here? " she asked as she tried to hug my hand through the cage.
"Wait, you know what this place is right? " I was wondering if anybody told her.
"Yeah… my collector told me that I'm, you know, dead. You're here too so that means we could both go to heaven or hell and be together! " she said as her voice filled with hope. I didn't want to break her all ready dead heart but she had to know the truth.
"Demi. Notice how I'm not in a cage? I won't be going to hell or heaven or get a new life. Ever. I work here now since the same girl that collected you didn't make it in time to collect me and now I'm a part of this team. I work here now." I told her with trying to include as less information as possible so she doesn't feel worse than she already does.
"But. What about me? We won't see each other again! Tell them to let me out! I'll work here if thats what it takes! I don't care how good heaven is I won't leave you! " demy started to hold on my arm stronger desperately trying to get closer to me.
"Demi you can't stay here just for me. You will have to spend an enternety here. It will never end. And I can't take your chance at a new life. I'm truly sorry. " I said as all ready for the second time in ten minutes tears formed in my eyes.
"It's not your choice to make! It's mine and only mine! Now will you please speak to… whoever you need to speak to and ask if they could put me in the team. " she said as she looked in my eyes and said it in her serious mom voice. When she said that I knew she was serious about it.
"OK ill talk to them, but I can't guarantee anything. Anyways so how did you…like…end up here? " I asked feeling uncomfortable about the topic but I wanted to know.
"Don't you remember? The rock that you threw at the school window? Yeah, they told me it was you. They took me to the hospital but I died from blood loss and brain damage. You killed me. But don't worry I forgive you! I mean that's what best friends are for, forgiving right? " she said nervously not completely beliveing her own words as my jaw slowly dropped and reality hit hard. I killed my best friend. There is no going back from that.
"Oh no. I'm… so sorry! I didn't mean to! I wanted to get your attention! I didn't think the rock was that heavy. Belive me please! Is there anything I can do? " I said desperately asking for her forgiveness as I relised the first one wasn't even real. Of course she doesn't forgive me. I killed her! I do t even forgive myself.
"Hey Bella! Listen to me, ok? If you really want to do something than you should probobly go talk to you boss about letting me on the team quicker." she said with a little giggle in the end that cheered me up a little.
"I haven't even met him yet,but when I do ill defently ask him!" I said hoping that Demi won't regret this choice. Suddenly Demi looked behind me and got all nervous.
"Uhhh… you should go now. There's someone waiting for you. " She said as she squeezed my arms tighter one more time and let go of them. Oh no. I was supposed to stay where Jackson left me. There is no way hell be that mad about it. Right?
"Issabella what are you doing? I told you to stay still! You can't just walk around here exploring! If anybody cought you, you could seriously get in trouble!" He said as he harshly grabbed my shoulder to turn me around and face him.
"I'm sorry I just saw my best friend in a cage. Wouldn't you be furious if you best friend would be in a death cage? " I said with an angry tone annoyed that he's punishing me for such a small thing. At that moment I think I forgot who is in charge here.
"Don't talk to me like that Clemonte! While I'm your team guide you'll listen to me! Then when I'll be done with you, you won't have to see me here ever again and you can wander around here as much as you want until you get thrown in the Black cell!" His eyes filled with rage and anger he yelled at me as both of his fists grabbed my shirt collar and lifted me till he left me on my tip toes. I was genuinely terrified of him at this moment. I've never seen him like this. I know him only for a day so this could be his usual mood. I felt like I had no more human or….ghost rights or I couldn't have my opinions. Now I know what kind of a man Jackson Pierce is.
As he slowlyet go of my collar and let me down tears started forming in my eyes… again. This time they were tears of fear. I feared Jackson Pierce. My heels slowly landed on the ground and I looked away. I didn't want Jackson see me crying. Not again. Not another reason to yell at me. Not another reason for me to fear for my life.
"I'm sorry. " he said with a stone cold voice. He didn't mean it. I didn't expect him to.
"I… uhh… deserved it" I replied feeling like if I would have said anything else I would have made it worse.
"Now let's go, the boss is waiting. " as he turned around to lead me to the boss a waterfall of tears ran down my face. I couldn't control it. I was sensetive about these things since I've heard yelling my whole life. I Allways think it's my fault. I was my parents who were usually yelling and I couldn't help but wonder if they would still be happy together if I wasn't born. They broboy would but now it's time to meet the boss.
