What Goes Around Comes Back Around

Chapter Twenty Six

Heidi POV

I cannot sleep. It’s like 3am and I have not slept a wink. Every time I try to, I am instantly brought back to reality. I stabbed and shot someone in a day. The very thought brings tears to my eyes. I don’t know why I am suddenly so emotional. I was handling it fine when it happened.

I start to sob as tears come pouring down my cheeks. I knew I would be mentally scarred but I didn’t think it would be this bad.

And the worst part of it all was that I stabbed someone who I potentially have feelings for and it’s eating away inside of me. The thought of Harry just lying there helpless and weak causes my stomach to twist causing more tears to pour out of my eyes.

Why am I having these mood swings? Oh god….I’m no better than Harry.

He may be, moody and evil but I somehow still have feelings for him that I can’t get rid of and it’s killing me.

I am so pathetic.

I take a deep breath and shakily raise up into a sitting position on the sofa before standing up and carefully trying to make my way to the kitchen in the dark. I need a glass of water to soothe my dry throat. I pull down the sleeve of my jumper and use it to wipe away at my remaining tears before reaching up to grab a glass from the cupboard above me.

However, as soon as I place the glass down on the counter, I feel a pair of large hands grasp my waist roughly from behind. I jump and squeal only causing the person to growl angrily before he clamps a hand over my mouth tightly. I try to scream for help but my screams are muffled. The guy chuckles at this and moves his face closer so I can feel his hot breath on my neck giving me goose bumps.

“You missed me babe?” he whispers huskily with a hint of anger in his voice. I try to turn around to get a glimpse of him but I am held in place by him.

“You are one bad girl do you know that?” he asks darkly causing me to gulp in fear.He’s going to snap my neck isn’t he?

“Do you know what I do to bad girls?” he continues. I feel droplets of sweat form on my brow as I slowly shake my head in response. I can feel him smirk darkly at me from behind. He moves even closer so his mouth is practically touching my ear.

“I punish them.” He whispers huskily. My eyes widen and my breath hitches in my throat. Not a second later, I feel something sharp digging into my lower back. It takes me a moment to realise what it is.

A knife.

He applies more pressure to it but not enough to go completely through me….yet.

“Say goodbye kitten.” Are the last words I hear before I feel the impact of the knife inside of me. I gurgle in pain and he lets go of me causing me to tumble to the ground. I press my hands to the wound and the blood comes gushing out even more right onto my hand.

I hear him laughing evilly before everything goes black.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I suddenly jolt awake from my sleeping position with tears already streaming down my face. I instinctively press my hand to my lower back to see if there was any wound but there was nothing. I sigh in relief.

It was a nightmare.

My heart was still pounding hard. That was probably the worst I have had so far. I shove a hand through my hair while closing my eyes for a moment. What time is it?

I open my eyes and turn over to my side and reach out to gasp my phone on the floor. I squint at the bright light while trying to read the time.

2:17 am. Fuuuuccckkkkk. I groan and drop my phone back on the ground while slumping back onto the sofa.

I really don’t think I will be able to sleep any time soon so I decide to change out of yesterday’s clothes and wear something a little more comfy.

I get up off of the sofa and slowly make my way out of the living room and up the stairs. I trip a few times off of the steps but I still manage. As I reach the top, I hear faint noises coming from my bedroom. I frown to myself as I turn on my heel and make my way over to my room. I tap the door a few times and instantly the noises stop. Whut?

“Amanda? It’s Adriana. Can I come in?” I ask softly. It goes quiet for a moment before I hear a small “Yes” from her. I push open the door and see her in an upright position hugging her knees. She was crying. Her eyes looked lost and scared.

I walk over and sit on the edge of the bed next to her.

“Hey, did you have a nightmare too?” I ask gently. She slowly nods her head but does not look at me. I feel heartbroken for this poor girl, I might actually start crying again but for her sake, I manage to hold back my tears.

“Come here.” I say while holding out my arms and letting her fall into them. I wrap them gently around her and rub her back soothingly.

“It’ll be ok alright? If those guys ever come near you again, I will do what I did to them again.” I attempt to calm her.

I don’t know why I felt all protective of this girl. It was like she was my sister and she needed help. It’s probably because I know how she feels but that’s irrelevant. The main thing is that I need to protect this girl from those beasts. I don’t know how I was going to carry on my revenge but I swore to myself that I would do this so I will find out a way somehow.

We both suddenly jump when we hear knocking coming from the front door downstairs. My heart rate increases drastically and I can feel Amanda also tense up in my arms. Just as I was about to let go of her she grabs my sleeve tightly and looks at me with pleading eyes.

“Please don’t go! It might be them!” She says frantically. I shake my head at her and pull out the gun from my jeans.

“If it is them, I still have this ok? Don’t worry about me just hide ok?” I say motioning to the gun in my hands. She looks at me doubtfully for a moment before giving in and letting me go.

“Now hide!” I order gently pointing at my closet before turning around and heading down the stairs cautiously.

As soon as I reach the bottom, I grasp hold at the end of my gun tightly while keeping my finger on the trigger just in case.

I stalk over to the door until I am standing face to face with it. I take a deep breath before slowly opening it and quickly pointing my gun out in front of me.

I frown when I see nobody there. I lower the gun and take a small step outside. I suddenly walk into something on the ground. I look down and notice a small black box. I look from side to side before bending down to pick it up.

I hold it out in front of me suspiciously. It was small, about the size of a box you would find a ring in.

I look over at the top of it before carefully removing the lid of it. I figured there shouldn’t be anything dangerous in it since it was so small. I am met with a small white piece of paper with the familiar scribbly writing on it.

You will pay for what you did bitch. – H

My eyes widen in fear and I gulp down the dryness in my throat. But that wasn’t it. I could see something poking out behind the note. I lifted the note up and the hairs on my arms rise.

It was my necklace with the H initial on it…..covered in blood.
