Begging For You

Chapter 10

Thalia 

I walk over to the campus' coffeeshop and open the door to see Tommy sitting in the far corner of the shop. 

He sees me and smiles. 

I walk over to him and sit down across from him. 

''Hey, what's up?'' I ask him, taking off my coat. 

''This morning was fucking great.'' He says with a grin. ''Do you want it to happen again?'' 

I'm quiet for a second. 

''I mean. Yeah it was great but I don't know if it's more important then our friendship.'' I reply, doubting it a second later. 

''We barely have a friendship.'' 

I look down. ''Yes.'' I say. 

''What?'' He looks at me. 

''Yes. I want it to happen again.'' I say, grinning at him. 

He smiles, ''me too but you know I can't do more than that.'' 

I nod. 

''Me neither. Me and Scott just broke up. Sex is all I'm looking for.'' 

''Good.'' He smirks. ''Let me know.'' 

He stands up but I look up at him, confused. ''Let you know what?'' 

''Let me know if you fall in love with me.'' He says before winking at me and walking out the shop.

I roll my eyes, that's not going to happen. 

My heart and soul still belong to Scott. 

I can't love anyone before I get those back. 

I decide to skip class and walk around the city on my own. 

I enter this cute bookshop when I get a call from my mom. 

''Hey mama. What's up?'' I say. 

''Thalia.'' She sound serious. 

''Mom?'' 

''They found Julia. She was strangled. She's gone. I'm so sorry love.'' 

My sight goes blurry and my knees weaken. 

''They are starting an invastigation now. They are going to find the bastard who did this to her Thalia.'' 

I step outside. 

''Thalia, baby? Are you okay?'' I hear my mom on the other side. 

My head hits the concrete floor that's planted underneath my feet. 

A voice, ''Someone call 911!'' 

Black.

4 months earlier. 

''Thalia please..''

''He doesn't want you.'' I say.

Her eyes are starting to close.

She's gone.

I let her go and she falls onto the dirty, muddy ground below our feet.

I reach down, and feel her pulse. No heartbeat.

Fuck, fuck, fuck. 

I stare at her lifeless body. 

I just.. I just killed my best friend. 

Scott. 

Everything I do, is for him.
