Bloody Valentine

Chapter 9

"Come on Paulie," said Benji looking very nervous.

"Shut up!" shouted Paul. He moved the gun closer to Benji.

"Shoot me,"

"No...not yet,"

"Paul....I’ll be honest, I’m as scared as sh*t....just get it over and done with please,"

"Erm....more the better reason to keep you waiting then,"

 

 

"Bang, bang," said Ben playfully pointing his fingers at Lisa pretending that they were guns. Lisa gave him a weird look.

"I’m bored," said Ben. Lisa and Ben both couldn’t sleep and were back in the lounge again waiting for Paul to return.

"Where would Paul go at a time like this?" asked Lisa.

"I’m not sure, anywhere that no one would find him I suppose," replied Ben.

"He wouldn’t do anything like really bad would he?"

"No...Paul’s not the sort of guy to commit crimes and stuff, he might look like the sort of guy, but he wouldn’t do it,"

"That’s good then," Ben walked over to the TV and switched it on and off again when he realized that nothing good was on.

 

 

"Paul! Please just do it!" shouted Benji.

"N...N...N...o.." replied Paul backing away, "I can’t you were right..." He opened up his bag again and put the gun inside it.

"Sorry," he said quietly. He turned a little ready to walk away....but....BANG! He heard Benji fall to the ground.

"Oh my god!" he screamed. He could here someone running away from the scene. He looked to see who had killed Benji, but they had gone.

"Benji!" he shouted. No luck Benji was dead, "Sh*t!" Paul picked up his bag which had the gun inside and ran away before anyone would think that he killed Benji. He ran all the way back to his flat. He felt guilty, but why? He had nothing to be guilty of apart from leaving a dead person down an alley.

 

 

Ben and Lisa had both fallen asleep on the sofa together. It was now morning and there was still no sign of Paul. Ben opened his eyes.

"Lisa," he whispered. Lisa woke up.

"Yeah," she replied.

"Paul’s not back," Ben had a worried look on his face. Lisa sat up and looked out of the window.

"He’ll come back today...he’s got to," said Lisa.

"Hopefully," Zee walked into the lounge.

"What you two love birds been doing down here all night then?" Zee said and then she giggled, Lisa giggled too.

"Waiting for Paul...but he’s not back," said Ben.

"Oh...right," replied Zee. There was a knock at the door and in came Paul looking tired.

"Paul!" screamed Ben running into the hall to hug him, "What the f**k have you been?" By this time Ben had his hands on his hips.

"Walking," lied Paul.

"In the car?" asked Zee.

"I took the car to the place I wanted to go walking," replied Paul.

"Oh that’s a clever idea,"

"I know," Paul smiled, "Where’s Hanne, is she OK?"

"She’s just upset you ran away," replied Lisa. Hanne walked down the stairs and hugged Paul.

"Sorry I snapped," she whispered to Paul.

"I’m sorry too," replied Paul. The doorbell rang next.

"Hello," Lisa said as she opened the door. Two policemen were standing there.

"Is Hanne Bye here?" asked one policeman. Hanne stepped forward.

"Hanne...we have some bad news...we’re sorry but this morning we were informed that there is a dead body down an alley in London and we’re so sorry but it’s your boyfriend Benjamin Madden, Benji from the band Good Charlotte," said the policeman. Hanne burst into tears.

"What?!" asked a shocked Ben.

"He was murdered last night, we believe that someone shot him," replied the policeman. Paul hugged Hanne again, he couldn’t help but feel bad.
