It was an accident

"It was an accident. It was a mistake." Brandon, my bestfriend's boyfriend, kept saying. I knew it was bullshit and I couldn't believe my bestfriend, Clara, believed him. This was the 8th time and I was sick of it.

"I know baby. I know you didn't mean it. I knew that bitch kissed you first." Clara said wrapping her arms around him. 'That bitch' was Madison. Madison is Brandon's ex-girlfriend. Brandon tried to hide his smirk but I could see. "Sure she did." I said under my breath.

"Did you say something Lara?" Brandon glared at me. "No." I replied. He knew that I knew he was cheating. Whenever I tried to tell Clara he would lie about it.

Hours later I tried to tell her again.

"He's cheating on you Clara." I said. She sniffled and looked away. "I have proof this time." I pulled out my phone. She pushed my hand away. "I know Lara. I know." She started crying.

"I don't know how many of these 'accidents' I can take." She said. I wrapped her in a hug. The truth was, I loved her. I did not Brandon!

It was an accident.

That's what he said.

It was an accident

An accident

It was an accident

That's why I planned his death.

So it would be an accident.

Clara didn't know about this. She didn't have to.

I followed him home.

He was going to pay.

He was going to pay.

I snuck in his house and grabbed the biggest knife he had. "Who's there? I got a bat and I'm not afriad to use it!" I heard him. He was close.

He hit me.

"What the hell? Lara? What are you doing?" Then I jumped on him.

"It was an accident." I said.

"What the hell Lara?! What was an accident?"

"THIS!"

Then I stabbed him.

It was an accident.

Again

It was an accident

And again

And again and again.

For you Clara.

We'd finally be to gether forever.

"Lara? WHAT THE HELL?" Clara said.

I didn't even notice her.

"It was an accident." I said.

"A happy accident for you Clara. For us."

"For us."
