An hour later, Penny and I arrived at the
hospital.
Penny was rubbing her forehead, looking kinda shaky.
“Hey, I think I got a little overexcited at that
concert. My blood sugar is low. Go on ahead, I’ll
grab a snack.”
I nodded, walking into the hospital.
I went to Chloe’s room, and there she was,
looking pale as a ghost.
But there was something else in her eyes. Pure,
venomous hatred directed right at me.

I forced a concerned tone. “Chloe, how are you
doing? How come you didn’t tell me you were pregnant?”
Chloe waved her hand dismissively. “Why would
I? Get out, I don’t wanna see you.”
“Okay, I’ll just go now.”
I turned to walk out, and as soon as I touched the door handle, Chloe’s husband, Chad, stormed toward me.
Seeing the guy who stabbed me eighteen times in my past life sent my heart racing.
Chad glared at me. “I’ll get back to you later!”
Watching him go into the room, my stomach
clenched.
Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw my
boyfriend, Sam, heading that way too. I grabbed
Just then, Chloe started wailing.
“Chad, our baby’s dead! Sarah killed our baby!”
Chad roared and came at me, yanking my hair
and dragging me back into the room like I was a rag doll.
“Sarah, you are a sick b!tch!”
“You killed my kid, you understand?”
Chad slammed me against the wall.
Meanwhile, Chloe started sobbing, “Sarah, I
thought we were friends. I took time off just to keep you company and take you to that
concert.”
“But how could you do this? I was good to you,
and you do this to me?!”
Chad’s fists were clenched so tight, his
knuckles were popping.
He slammed my head hard against the wall.
“Chloe, why would I hurt you? What would be
the point?!”
“You knew I was pregnant, and you didn’t want
to switch spots. That’s why people were
shoving me around. That’s how I miscarried!”
Sam shook his head, pointing a finger at me.
“Sarah, I never thought you were capable of
such evil!”
I stared at Sam, stunned. “I….”
Sam looked like he was in genuine pain and
kept yelling.
“That was a living thing! How could you?
You’re a murderer!”
I bit back tears. “No! I didn’t! I didn’t even
know she was pregnant. This is all a setup!”

Chad snarled, “You killed my kid, and now you
are talking smack! I’m gonna kill you!”
“You’re gonna die!”
He pulled a switchblade from his waistband.
Click
The blade sprung open. He had the knife
pointed at me.
The blade was so close, I somehow managed to
squeeze out a few words.
“I…I have a witness…Someone can prove…it was
all…Chloe’s fault…”
