Chapter 159

" I did not plan for his death" he brokenly sobbed out to me

"I understand, but you wanted him to die, did you not?" I asked him in a mocking tone

" I did not plan any of it, he was the one that started it all, he approached me with the idea first" he raised his head to look at me, his face desperate for me to believe him,

" I know dear, he approached you first but you decided to use it to your advantage, you could get rid of him using the match as an excuse and nobody would suspect you of any wrong intention, such an intelligent child" I told him while slowly patting his head

I do not know what has come upon me but I knew this was surely unlike me. It was as if I was having an internal battle within myself, and I could only stand by the sideline and watch another part of me take over. I tried my best to break out of it but nothing was working. I could only watch myself break a child's spirit and toy with his emotions but there was nothing I could do. I watched as he shook his head frantically, denying her last words,

"No! That was never my plan, the thought might have entered my head during the match but I was never going to go through with it, he is a good friend of mine" he nodded trying to convince me and probably himself too

" If you ever regarded him, the way he did you, surely such thought would never get into your head. Are you really worth calling a friend? Imagine how he would feel if he hears such thought was in your mind?" I I made a v shape with my thumb and forefinger and placed my chin between them like I was thinking or contemplating telling his friend all these,

He crawled over to where I was pacing and halted my movement with his body, his hands gripped both side of my dress tightly that it was almost cutting into my skin, he raised his head up to stare at me, the black color of his orbs were a big contrast to the white surrounding it, the tears swimming in his eyes made everything clearer to see like looking at treasure beneath the seas. I bent at the waist so I could observe them clearly, I turned my head both ways. I lifted my hands to place them on his face but before I could get to my destination, his hands caught mine. The movement shocked me and drew my attention to our hands,

"Please do not tell him about this. I promise I would never speak or think of it again, I would behave myself better and act like a good friend to him" he tried to cajole me

I do not remember telling him that I wanted to tell his friend about his stupid and childish thought but oh well!
