Chapitre 12: “Th-thank yo... you, Kendall"
Kayla's POV
On hearing on Kendall's arrest, I decided to pay her a visit. I didn't inform anyone before making way to the station. It was an unexpected visit. Well, I finally reached the station and found my way in.
"I am here to see Kendall, please", I said with referral to an officer on duty. He looked a little bit young, though, he had a few white hairs in his beards.
"Sorry- May I know your name, miss?", he asked.
"My manners. I'm Kayla Lee, Kendall's er...", I tried finding the right word to fit in. I couldn't say she was my friend, they could make me one of their suspects if I did.
"Her what? Can you speak up?", he inquired eagerly.
"Roommate", I finally said. Maybe, he could believe me. Besides he didn't know me before now, so absolutely no harm in lying.
"Sure...?", he asked. He gave out a suspicious look with a furrowed brow.
"Yeah! Why not?", I giggled.
"Hmm!", he mumbled to himself, though it got to my hearing.
"Any other question?", I asked, already fed up of waiting on him. I was running out of patience.
"Guess not", he answered shortly. "Hold on, just a minute", he said and quickly diverted his gaze from me. "Mac?", I heard him call out in his loudest voice.
Probably one of the junior officers, I guessed. I turned around on hearing heavy stomping on the floor. The guy running towards my direction could be the Mac guy, I certainly thought. I had no doubts.
"Yes sir!", Mac shouted. His feet were at attention as he saluted him with his chest stuck out. I tried so hard to hide my laughter.
"Take her to meet with Kendall, now", he ordered.
With that, Mac took the lead. "Keep a close eye on them, have I made myself clear?", he asked thunderously. What the heck did he mean by that? He couldn't even say that privately but to my face? Well, I wouldn't blame him. Not that I could even punish him for saying that, durrh.
"Your wish is my command. I'll do just that", Mac answered audibly. He stomped his left foot hard on the ground before leaving his presence. He led me to meet the asshole bitch.
I couldn't wait to see her damn face one last time. I bet she was passing through hell by now, after all, that was the treatment she deserved right from time. She finally got the taste of her own medicine.
Finally, we pulled to a halt. We were now standing face to face with each other but separated by the iron bars. I could see the expression drawn across her face. She still looked fierce and strong like I had always known her.
Kendall gritted her teeth as her gaze fell on me. She couldn't bear the sight of seeing me here. I could only imagine what she could have done to me at that moment if she was let out of her cell. In that case, only God could save me.
In the space of a second, I saw a wide smirk on her face like nothing had transpired between us. I was really confused. She acted all good all of a sudden. I couldn't predict her mind or her next move because she always seemed really cunning and smarter than I was.
* * * * * * *
"Hey you! What's with that smirk on your face?", I asked. She leaned in closer like she wanted to whisper something into my ears, so I moved closer. And yeah, Mac could also eavesdrop on us.
I was taken unaware as Kendall pulled my hair forcefully. "Arghhh!", I screamed in pain. She drew my head closer with her both hands and banged it countless times on the iron bar. I managed to get hold of myself. Mac quickly interfered and loosened me from her grip.
"What did you think you were doing, Kendall?", Mac screamed terribly at her after setting me free. I felt blood trickle down my face. I was still unsure if it was really blood. I used my hands to wipe across the spot I felt it gush out. Damn! I was bleeding, for real.
"Keep your nose out of my business, okay?", she blabbered bluntly at him, breathing out furiously.
"I swear, if I get to lay my hands on you, you'd never dare touch me again in your entire life", I screamed at her face.
"Oh, shut up!", she barked at me.
"Well, I didn't waste my time to come here and exchange words with you, bitch-
"Did you just call me a bitch?", she screamed madly.
"You heard it right. I will call you whatever I choose to over and over again. And you know what?", I asked. I didn't give her the space to utter further. I snapped my fingers at her face. "You can't do any damn shit about it, dumb ass", I added with a similar smirk to what she previously pulled over her face.
"Can you ladies be civilized?!", Mac screamed grumpily at us. I saw Kendall roll her eyes at him. To be honest, I was about doing the same but I held myself from giving out a rude impression. I termed that 'self-respect'.
"But Kayla, you..., I heard her cry. "....you betrayed me. I took you as my best friend. You shattered my trust, you ruined my life... my damn future is at stake all because of you. I trusted you, I believed when you said you were rooting out for me, but this? This is fucking unbearable!", Kendall cried out to my ears.
"Did you think I could forgive you for all the damages you cost in my life? Was it so easy for me to get over my past? And now, watch you live a happy life? Kendall, remember... you're the reason my brother has been jailed for years now! You framed him up for a crime he didn't commit. My mum, .... I paused.
I took a deep breathe before I continued. "... you made me punish her for nothing. The wayward life I'm living right now, you taught me all of that. It became a life that I couldn't leave. My mum went through a lot, all because of me. She disowned me, Kendall! I was a torn in her neck", I sniffed in my tears.
"I couldn't go through with college because I was distracted. I lost focus, the interest, infact you made me hate school. You caused all these. You ruined me! Look what you made me now, a fucking whore. I sleep around to afford paying my bills. That's the only thing I do to survive, Kendall and it's tearing me apart. I don't have a life anymore", I sobbed.
My sight became blurry as tears filled my eyes. "I didn't mean to betray you this way, Kendall but, I had to. I was jealous seeing you happy, I always envied you when I saw you and Adrian together. I wished the same for myself. But, not any more", I shook my head.
I was enraged in anger as I screamed in my loudest voice. "Kendall, get a life! Why do you choose to go around ruining lives and betraying the ones who you claim to love? What's your gain? You only care about your happiness and nothing else. You lack human feelings. Kendall, you're selfish. I hate you! I wish I never met you in my entire life", I screamed.
"You came like an Angel to me, but now, you're my worst nightmare, my closest enemy. You destroyed my life. I can't fold my arms again and watch you ruin that of others. Those were my mistakes from the past. Maybe, I'm a bit wiser now, although it's too late for me", I gasped to catch my breathe.
"I don't have anything else to say to you, Kendall. Or yeah, I should be thanking you. You taught my the wildest phase of life. All thanks to you, sweetheart", I sobbed. "Are you happy now?", I screamed as I shook the iron bars in pain and agony.
"I... I, Kayla I'm sorry-
I interrupted right away. "You're sorry? Are you kidding me? What am I gonna do with your apology, Kendall? It's not gonna reverse a damn thing or ease my pains. It won't erase my past! What don't you understand? It's too late ", I screamed.
I could see tears at the corner of her eyes but I wasn't moved. I didn't want anyone to sympathize with me, especially not her. Only me knew what I had passed through, the rough nights I encountered just to keep up a life.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to be alive any more. There was no point in living. I had no purpose, I never had one in the first place. Maybe, I was born to end this way.
My heart couldn't bear the load. I... I wanted to end my life. I couldn't keep up living this way. All my life, I wanted to stay happy. My life was perfect till I met Kendall. Now, I was left with nothing, I can't run into the arms of anybody. No one understood what I felt.
I didn't want to hear a single more word from anyone. The suicidal thoughts clouded my mind and I couldn't bear any longer. My eyes scanned through the entire vicinity for the nearest object. My gaze finally landed on the gun that Mac held in his hand.
"Mac?", I called out as I walked closer to him.
"Do you want to say something?", he asked. Well, I didn't actually. I only wanted to get the gun out of his hand, I knew that it would be difficult.
I crushed his balls with my shoe which made him fling the gun in reflex. I heard him groaning deep in pain but, I was helpless. I quickly laid my hands on the gun without wasting time. I pointed it at my face, ready to empty the barrel on myself.
"Kayla, what the fuck are you doing?! Have you lost it?", Kendall screamed loudly. She was in tears.
I snapped back to my senses. "It's true that I'm out of my mind. Kendall, you made it obvious that you hated me. You'd be honored to take my last breathe, wouldn't you?", I smirked as I forced the gun into her hand through the bars and held it firmly.
"Stop all these, Kayla!", she yelled loudly. But I fell deaf on her words. Everything was meaningless now.
"Let's end all these. I am fed up with living my life. I wanna die, shoot me! I swear, if you don't, I'll do it by myself and nothing will stop me", I screamed.
"Have you ladies gone mad?", Mac screamed in attempt to help himself get up. His scream drew the attention of all officers.
"Hey! Put the gun down", an officer shouted.
"Stop creating a scene, girls", another screamed to our ears.
"Don't make a step further, I'm warning y'all", I screamed to them. "For the last time, Kendall, pull the trigger once and for all", I yelled at her. I faced the gun directly to my head.
"Kayla... I'm sorry for pushing you to this stage. Hope you will forgive me after this", Kendall sobbed.
* * * * * * *
*boom boom, went the gun as the bullet passed through her head. She landed to the ground, covered in a pool of blood. "Th- thank yo... you, Kendall", Kayla mumbled as she gave out her last breathe.
The gun slipped out of Kendall's hand and fell down to the floor. "No!!!! Kayla please wake up", Kendall screamed as she fell on her knees.
"I killed my bestfriend", Kendall kept murmuring to herself in tears. It was a devastating experience.
