Bloody Valentine
Chapter 17
Lisa walked into Ben’s room and sat on the edge of the bed.
"You OK?" asked Ben sitting up.
"Erm... yeah course," replied Lisa feeling guilty about knowing the stuff Mark had told her, "Ben tomorrow I’m gonna go shopping in London and I might be back late,"
"Oh right, that’s fine,"
"Good...anyway I was just telling you," she smiled, "I’ll be back in a minute," Lisa walked out and went into the bathroom. Mark was there.
"Told him,"
"Good...I told Zee I’m going to see my parents so it should work out OK.....you didn’t say anything to Ben about what I’ve told you did you?"
"No course.....although I do feel a bit bad for keeping it from him, but I’m not gonna tell him if you don’t want me to,"
"Thanks,"
"No problem....are you sure Christian will be at home in London tomorrow?"
"Yeah he should be,"
"OK...anyway I’m gonna get back to Ben now, see you tomorrow morning then, night," Lisa walked out.
The next morning Lisa and Mark set off to go and talk to Christian. They were both in Mark’s car and on the way to London.
"So what you exactly gonna say to Chris?" asked Mark.
"Well not quite sure...but something along the lines of why set someone up? Someone might of seen you actually do it or something like that anyway,"
"So your gonna confuse him?"
"Yeah basically...I’m gonna tell him that Paul wasn’t alone and stuff like that,"
"That’ll make him flip,"
"And hopefully...Chris will rushed to the police and say it wasn’t Paul," They finally arrived in London and Mark parked his car in a shop center car park.
"Lisa!!!!" screamed someone that had also parked their car.
"Sammie!!!!" shouted Lisa turning around and seeing her. Sammie ran up to Lisa and hugged her.
"Long time no see....how are you?"
"I’m good yeah, you?"
"I’m great...," she paused and looked at Mark, "Wow...he yours?" she giggled.
"Mark...no just a friend,"
"Oh...right,"
"But I do "Own" one of his ex-bandmates," Sammie looked amazed.
"Which one?!" she squealed.
"Ben!" Lisa and Sammie both started jumping up and down together and squealing. Mark just stood quite happily watching.
"Erm....Pizza?" said Mark....Pizza was Lisa’s nickname.
"Yeah?" replied Lisa.
"We better get going,"
"Oh right yeah," Lisa turned to Sammie, "Here’s my address and mobile number," she handed Sammie a piece of paper with it written on.
"I’ll call you soon then....we need to catch up," replied Sammie.
Mark and Lisa arrived outside Christian’s house, but it had been circled by police. Lisa and Mark stared in shock. Why were the police outside Christian's house? The policewoman that had asked Lisa for Paul’s flat keys was also there. She walked over to Lisa and Mark.
"What’s going on?" asked Mark worried.
"Well Mr Read, Miss Brighton. We went to Paul’s flat and found Christian Ingebrigtsen there, and I’m sorry but I cannot tell you anymore, apart from Paul Marazzi has been freed and we have now found out who really did kill Benji Madden," the policewoman said. Big smiles appeared across Mark’s and Lisa’s face.
"So where’s Paul now?"
"He’s still at the police station....he doesn’t know yet,"
"So can he be freed now then?"
"Yes...he can, if you’d like to pick him up now, I can free him now,"
Ben sat in the lounge with Hanne and Zee. All of them bored. Hanne wanting Paul back.
"I want mummy to come home and feed us!" screamed Zee, she was in one of her hyper moods.
"Mummy?" asked a confused Ben.
"Lisa! She feeds me! I can’t cook....but she can,"
"She can?"
"A little,"
"Compared to you she’s brilliant!"
"Hey!" Zee hit Ben playfully and Ben hit her back.
"Bitch!"
"Tossa!"
"Cow!"
"Takes one to know one!"
"Whatever!"
"Wanka!"
"Whore!"
"Stop!" shouted Hanne. Ben and Zee suddenly stopped fighting, Hanne looked upset, real upset, "I don’t know how you can just carry on as normal....Paul’s in a cell somewhere and going through shit when he hasn’t done anything wrong and you two are just play fighting like nothings happened!" Hanne stood up and walked out.
"I’ll go," said Ben following Hanne, he hugged her, "Babe...don’t think we don’t care, ‘cause we do care about Paul....we’re just trying to take our minds off it....darling you gotta try and carry on with your life," He hugged Hanne again.
"I guess your right....but I love Paul,"
"I know you do," Ben took her hand and took her back into the lounge.
"Sorry Hanne," said Zee.
"Shhhh!" they heard Mark say coming from the hall. Ben, Zee and Hanne looked at each other and gave each other weird looks and then Lisa entered.
"Guys..." she said.
"What?" asked Ben.
"Erm..." she smiled and Paul marched into the lounge. Hanne jumped up to hug him.
"Paul!!!!" screamed Zee, Ben and Hanne.
