SCARRED - Part 5 (12 page)
Authors: Kylie Walker
She slowly walked over to where he lay on his side. She went around behind him so he’d have to turn over to reach out and grab her. When she was about a foot away, she leaned down and put her hand against his back. His skin was bloody and cold and his chest wasn’t moving at all. Just to be sure she moved her hand up to his neck. She could see the blade of the knife still glinting in the moonlight as he clutched it in his hand. She shivered, sucked in another breath and pressed her two fingers to the artery in his neck. He had no pulse.
Jesse the monster was dead.
Chloe could finally breathe.
Even though she was convinced that he was dead, she didn’t want to be anywhere near him. She backed away from him quickly and when she reached the front door, she opened it and ran to the truck. She fished the key out of her boot and opened it. She climbed inside and locked the doors again. The adrenaline was starting to leave her body and in its wake it left anxiety so severe that her teeth were beginning to chatter.
She picked up her phone and saw that she had three missed calls. Roxi, Jake and Derek...She ignored them for now and called 911.
“911 what is your emergency?”
“I just killed my ex-boyfriend.”
“I’m sorry ma’am; did you say you “killed” someone?” Chloe was shaking so hard that she could barely speak. She said it again, “I killed my ex-boyfriend. He was trying to kill me. I need the police and an ambulance.”
“What’s your name?”
“Chloe Green.”
“Address?” Chloe gave her the address.
“Ma’am, do you have a weapon on you?”
“No.”
“They’re on the way, stay on the...”
Chloe hung up. She pushed Jake’s number.
“Chloe! Where are you?”
“I’m at the condo, Jake. Jesse’s dead.”
“Oh my God! Dad and I flew back this afternoon when Derek told us you went to Rhode Island. I was already on my way. I’ll be there any second. Hang on, Chloe...Shit!”
She could hear the sirens coming. They were getting closer. She called Derek next. Trevor answered the phone.
“Chloe? Are you okay? Everyone has been trying to reach you!”
“I’m fine...Jesse’s dead. Is Derek okay?”
“Jesse’s what?”
“He’s dead. I killed him. Is Derek okay?”
Trevor’s voice had a slight tremor as he said, “He’s fine honey. Are you okay?”
“I will be,” she whispered. “I’m free now.”
She let the phone slide out of her hand and reached up with her good arm and rubbed her eyes hard with her hand. She had to stay awake so that she could tell them what happened. She pushed the unlock button as the police cars came screeching up to her vehicle.
She opened the door as they were opening theirs. She stepped out of the truck with her hands in the air. The bright lights shone in her face, she knew they had their guns drawn on her. Once she was out of the truck, she dropped to her knees, her arms becoming heavy. That was when she saw Jake run across the sand. The police yelled at him to stop and everything went black. Chloe gave in to the strong pull of sleep as the darkness consumed her.
