The Number 22

Betrayal ??

7:22 , the sun started to rise from the ashes of last night. Jeff was exhausted, but he made it : he didn't fall asleep.
He stood from the couch he was sitting on and he moved his feet towards the bathroom. It was the seventh time that he was washing his face just to stay awake.
His head hurt and he felt like he was in a deep transe. He just couldn't...he had to....he had to close his eyes.
Jeff woke up but not in the forest. He let a large smile appear on his face. He was somewhere in a house. Eddie's house.
_ Eddie ?
His voice echoed between the walls of the house and died after a brief moment.
He started walking. The house was empty.
_ Eddie are you here ???!
Then suddenly, he heard some voices in the kitchen. Like somebody was talking.
He approached and pressed his ear on the front of the door.
_ He's dead ! Can't you understand ?? It's me who's been caring about you not him.
_ Eddie !!! Stop talking about Jeff . I don't want you as somebody more than a friend .
_ Damn !! I hate this guy so much !! What did you see in him ?? I really want to kill him again.
_ It was you then !!! You killed him.
_ Yes I did .
_ Eddie !!!! Why ??!
_ Because I cared about you more than he did ! I needed the space between us to get "cleared" so you can notice me.
_ You're sick !!! I really despise you !
_ Yes...Yes Lisa. I'm sick. And if we can't be together, then you can't be with anyone else. And now you know me as a murderer. You know too much. If you love this jerk, you'll go meet him in hell !!
Jeff tried to open the door. He was going to kill her !!!
But the door wouldn't open. Eddie laughed hard. Jeff heard footsteps and Lisa criing.
_ Lisaaaaaaaaaaa ....
THE guy appeared smirking next to him.
_ Why would you want to stay alive. Let me take you. Sometimes, jeff, life is a curse. Would you want ME to take you or would you want to die, betrayed by your friend.
Jeff woke up horrified.
He took his phone and dialed Lisa.
_ Hey Liz are you okay ??
_ Errrr yes ? What's happening to you ?
_ I've just had this nightmare and I.....I wanted to see if you were fine.
_ Jeff do you want me to come ?
_ Err no. It's kind of a mess in here so I'll come to your place if that's okay.
_ Yes that's fine.
_ Liz ?
_ Yeah ?
_ Have you seen Eddie lately ??
_ Jeff .....I must tell you something. But not on the phone.
_ .......
_ Jeff ??
_ Yeah okk I was coming anyway.
_ I'll wait for you then.
_ Okk.
