Bloody Valentine

Chapter 2

Hanne laid awake next to her new boyfriend Benji, Benji was in a band called Good Charlotte, he was just 23 years of age and Hanne was now 21. Hanne and Benji had been dating for about two months now. Hanne had moved to America when she was 19 and that’s how she met Benji. Benji’s band were performing in a bar and Hanne and Benji took a liking to each other straight away. They became very good friends and they always flirted. They’d had the odd fling a few times, but they’d only just got into a serious relationship together just tow and a half months ago. Hanne, Benji and the rest of Good Charlotte (Joel, Billy and Paul) were all in England. Good Charlotte were touring around England for two weeks. It was the night of their show in London. Hanne and Benji were doing their usual thing, which was hugging and kissing.

"Benji!" called out Joel, "We’ve gotta be on stage now!" Benji kissed Hanne one last time and quickly ran off to catch up with the rest of Good Charlotte. Joel was Benji’s twin brother, he’d quite a few times tried to shag Hanne pretending that he was Benji. Hanne wasn’t really sure of him though, it seemed like he was always watching her. He basically freaked her out. Three hours later the show had finished and Hanne and Good Charlotte were all sitting in their dressing room.

"Great crowd!" screamed Benji in excitement, "They were mad!"

"Yeah! Can’t believe we had that famous geezer there too, that guy is so cool!" added Billy.

"Apparently he’s gonna be joining us in the after party," said Joel.

"Wicked!" replied Benji once again hugging Hanne. Just then their manager walked in. She was very tall and thin and very ‘posh looking’.

"Guys, we have to go to the after party now, clocks ticking, we have got to get there before Paul Marazzi shows because when he comes you need to impress him if you want to do that duet with him," she said all posh.

"Yeah, yeah, lets go then," said Billy. All six walked out.

*Hanne’s point of view*

I’m sure I’ve heard that name ‘Paul Marazzi’ before....haven’t got a clue who the hell he is though...probably some rich geezer. The guys seem to know a lot about him though, I’m sure he’s probably only a big star in England.....and well seeing as though I’m not living in England I wouldn’t know....Actually maybe he’s fit....no...can’t think of that I’m with Benji. Awwww Benji....he’s so sweet....All right so maybe he’s not the sweet-looking type.....but he still is. Wait a second! Paul Marazzi! As in Sexy Paul Marazzi! With best mate Ben Adams! OH MY GOD! It can’t be.....no....it can’t if it is it could ruin me and Benji forever.

 

They all arrived at the after party. Paul Marazzi was already there. The guys from GC quickly greeted him, leaving Hanne standing alone with people staring at her. Ten minutes later Benji walked back other to Hanne. He was being followed by Joel and Paul Marazzi.

"Hanne....you gotta meet Paul!" said Benji, "Paul...this is Hanne my girlfriend," Hanne looked at Paul....it was him! Paul looked shocked.

"You two know each other or something?" laughed Joel.

"Erm...well we used to date," butted in Paul before Hanne had a chance to speak.

"Really?" asked an interested looking Benji.

"Yeah, didn’t work out though," added Hanne. Benji turned back to face Hanne.

"Oh right," he said.

"No I did work out until you moved to Norway," said Paul.

"Paul....come on....we were distancing apart way before that," replied Hanne.

"Yeah I guess we were," said Paul knowing it wasn’t true.

"Cool....I mean....sounds bad, but I guess it’s cool for Benji that it didn’t work out ‘cause if it had of worked out you and Benji wouldn’t be together now," said Joel trying to act clever.

"Yeah....I’m gonna go and get some food now anyway," said Paul walking away. Hanne looked at the ground....she knew her and Paul had been working out before she went to Norway.

"Hanne...we can leave if you want....’cause I know how hard it is to see an ex again after so long," said Benji.

"No she can leave, but you can’t," said Joel.

"Why?" asked Benji.

"’Cause we’ve gotta impress Paul,"

"OK fine whatever.....but Hanne I don’t mind if you go,"

"I’ll be fine," said Hanne not sure if it was the truth or not.

"Cool...me and Joel are gonna join Billy now," said Benji, they both walked off. Hanne remained standing where she was in a world of her own watching Benji enjoy himself....she never thought she’d ever be so in love with someone like this.

"Here," said someone handing her a glass of vodka. Hanne looked up.

"Paul," she said taking the drink.

"Why lie? We were great together before you moved to Norway."

"Paul...it’s just easier to say that to Benji and I don’t want him thinking there in any way a chance I’ll go back with you,"

"Fine..."

"Sorry.. Paul...but I loved Benji, he means so much to me," Hanne looked over at Benji once more. Paul had hurt written all over his face.

"You still in contact with Zee Hanne?"

"No....f**k knows what happened to her....wonder if her and Benny Boy ever got it on then, they Probably did....’cause they were both gagging for it," Paul giggled.

"Me and Ben never saw Zee again after the day you left for Norway....yeah he did have a little thing for her,"

"Really?"

"Yeah,"

"Wow....I’ll have to tell her when I next write....."

"Thought you just said you didn’t have any contact with her?"

"Yeah...she doesn’t want me to tell anyone...sorry I lied...but I’m not gonna tell everyone I still know her if she don’t want me to,"

"OK....Ben’s still quite interested I think....he hasn’t told me he’s ever had a thing for her....but I can see it in his eyes,"

"Yeah....cool...Guess one day we could set them up," Hanne giggled.

"Good idea...so Zee is in England right?"

"Yeah, she’s living in a place called Peterborough, she lives with some girl called Lisa,"

"Lisa?"

"Yeah, blonde hair, blue eyes.....tall....she was in year 7 in our school, but left in year 8, remember her?"

"You mean Lisa the slut?!"

"No....that was Laura the slut! God....she was the one always getting attendance reports,"

"Oh my god! Lisa....yeah I remember now....best friend Shreeeeeee...."

"Shreena,"

"Yeah, can’t quite remember people from so long ago,"

"Bless!" giggled Hanne, "Well anyway Zee and Lisa now share a house in Peterborough, never been there though,"

"Shame...maybe we should all have an old school mates get together!"

"Erm...no....I’ve gotta be with Benji now all the time...gotta support him and I won’t have time....besides...who wants to meet up....if they did wanna still be mates...then they'’ still be mates," Benji walked over to them.

"Hanne, we’ve gotta go," he said.

"OK sexy," replied Hanne walking off with Benji.

 

*Paul’s point of view*

I can’t believe it! She’s just been acting like there was nothing ever between us! If only she knew I still had loads of feelings for her.....and that Benji geezer...he’s taking her for a ride...I can tell! He’s no good for her....he’ll only make her smoke and do drugs I bet! Gotta get rid of him....but how? I still love Hanne....I need her!

 

Paul wondered back to his flat in the early hours of the morning....as usual he was alone, no one would come back with him. He walked over to his computer and switched it on.

"Guess I gotta find out more about this Benji," he said to himself. He typed in Benji from Good Charlotte in Google. A load of pages came up. He went on to a few fansites and read some Benji quotes....one said ‘If I wasn’t in Good Charlotte I’d be a murderer probably’ Paul was worried....but then thought about Benji being a murderer.....He smiled to himself....what’s he thinking about?

"Good one Benji!" he shouted and laughed, "Soon she’ll be mine..."
