Bloody Valentine
Chapter 3
That night Hanne laid awake. She couldn’t sleep, she couldn’t stop thinking about the day and herself seeing Paul again. She knew what she had to do. She looked over at Benji. He was asleep, she quickly reached out for her mobile and texted Zee.
Hi Zee...u no dat afta party i went 2....well i saw Paul der....as in Paul ex! N anotha thing apparently Ben has a "thing" 4 u! Lol luv Hanne xxxx
Zee quickly replied, and because Hanne had forgotten to put her mobile on silent it woke Benji up.
"What you doing up?" asked Benji.
"Erm...nothing," replied Hanne putting her mobile back on the side that she had got it off.
"Why you texting someone now?"
"It was just Zee....she wanted to know how tonight went,"
"I guess you’ve told her you met your ex there,"
"Had to...she knew him and also Paul’s mate has a "thing" for her,"
"Hanne....you still have feelings for this Paul geezer don’t you?"
"No! I do not! He’s history....I love you,"
"Good....keep it that way...I saw you two talking....you look very relaxed with him,"
"We were just talking about old friends,"
"Stay away from him....he looks like the sort to mess and grass,"
"OK fine....he just wanted to know how I was....he still likes me,"
"Don’t contact him OK?"
"OK sorry,"
"Anyway I’m tired," Benji turned over and went back to sleep. Hanne hated it when Benji told her what to do and who to talk to. She knew she had to see Paul again and most likely make friends with him again. And she couldn’t let the chance of Zee and Ben go past!
Paul was still on his computer, and still reading information on Benji. And still plotting a plan. He started getting bored and walked away from his computer. He went over to his chest of drawers and opened them. He found some old pictures of him anf Hanne together, some kissing, some hugging and others pictures were just cute. He couldn’t understand why Hanne lied about them being in a dead end relationship, when in fact it was totally the other way around...they both loved each other so much they’d do anything. But that had to end because of Hanne having to go to Norway. Paul looked down at a group picture of him, Hanne, Zee and Ben. They all looked really happy together. A tear came to his eye....he wanted all that back so much. And he’d do anything to get it back. He picked up his phone.
"Time to contact some old ‘mates’" he said to himself. These mates were not exactly the good kind of people, these mates were the sort that did drugs and committed crimes and sometimes even murdered and this time Paul needed the help of them.
The next day Hanne had to stay in the hotel while Benji and the rest of Good Charlotte went to places and did loads of interviews. But Hanne didn’t stay in the hotel. The taxi dropped her off at a posh looking house and out came running a girl with long blonde straight hair and blue eyes.
"Hanne!" shouted Lisa.
"Lisa!" replied Hanne hugging Lisa.
"So glad you came....Zee told me about Paul and everything and that Benji...god! Benji is so fit! Your so lucky!"
"Yeah....I guess,"
"You guess?"
"Benji has told me not to contact Paul and to stay away from him,"
"Oh...he’s scared of the competition,"
"Yeah!" Hanne laughed and out came running Zee. Hanne ran up to her and hugged her.
"Hi!" said Zee.
"Hiya!" replied Hanne.
"You didn’t bring Paul?"
"Erm....no,"
"Shame, and oh my god Ben has ‘thing’ for me!"
"Yeah," Zee and Lisa lead Hanne into their house. Hanne told them everything she talked to Paul about.
"Seems like he does still like you a lot," said Zee.
"He does I know he does, he was hinting it to me all through our conversation,"
"You wanna be mates with him?"
"Yeah course he’s a great guy,"
"But sounds like Benji is your problem," butted in Lisa.
"Yeah he is,"
"Well just tell Benji that you wanna be mates with Paul and that you don’t wanna go back with Paul," said Zee.
"OK...but I don’t wanna lose Benji either way, I mean I love Benji loads,"
"Like you loved Paul?"
"Loved...yeah I guess....but I don’t love Paul anymore...I don’t think," Before Zee or Lisa could say anything Hanne’s mobile started ringing.
"Benji," answered Hanne.
"Where the fuck are you?"
"I’m in Peterborough babe,"
"Peterborough?! Why?"
"I’m with my old mate," Hanne paused and she knew if she said Zee Benji wouldn’t like it, "My old mate Lisa,"
"Lisa?"
"She used to live in Norway with me when I first moved out there,"
"Right and when are you planning on returning here?"
"Tomorrow probably,"
"Fine....Guess I’ll see you then," Benji hung up.
"Lied through your teeth," said Zee.
"I know, couldn’t tell him know, he wouldn’t of liked the truth," replied Hanne.
"Hanne....we’ve gotta meet with Paul you know, you gotta sort out your friendship...and something else," said Lisa.
"Something else?" asked Zee.
"Maybe Ben’s in this something else Zee....you’ll have to wait and see," replied Hanne. Lisa had a cheeky grin on her face.
"No way am I getting with Ben!" shouted Zee.
The next day Paul had contacted a few people about his plan, none had yet agreed to help...which did p!ss Paul off....he wanted Hanne so badly...he had to do it.....He had to get rid of Benji somehow and if that means murdered then he had to do it. The dark side of Paul had come out....all for what he said was for the right reasons.
