Chapter 104: You should do the same

~Jayden~

I grasped her tightly, feeling her cold palms. She was lying lifeless. Everyone was crying beside me, but I just stood there watching her lifeless body. I felt like a failure. She was my friend. In fact, she was more than a friend and I couldn't even do anything to protect her.

I knew that Xavier was unhinged, but I kept on making excuses for him and now someone I cared about got hurt. I tried everything to save her but I was too late. Xavier had already choked her to death.

I was holding onto a lifeless body by the time I arrived there. I thought that giving her CPR would revive her but I was so wrong. I wish I was in some kind of nightmare and someone would slap me awake. I wish this was all just a fantasy to me and I'm not in my reality.

How could I live with myself knowing that I could have protected Alianna and yet did nothing about it? I should have warned her to stay away from Xavier if she had told me she was going to see him.

I swear I will make him pay for this.
