Sin For Me

Act Three

Fear. Anger. Confusion. Betrayal. DJ used to think he could never experience these things in one moment. But as the sweat dripped down DJ's forehead he now knew anything is possible. His body trembled and his senses were telling him to run for the hills as he stared at the killer in front of him.

"Amber," he said softly.

She had a gun in her hands aiming it at him. "Hey, Dewey. Welcome to act three".

DJ had his gun aimed at her. She had the same smile on her face whenever she saw him. Memories of friendship flashed through his mind making his eyes water. He didn't want to believe it was true.

His dad was right...his dad. When his father popped into his head. He growled and got ready to pull the trigger when Amber put up a finger making him freeze. She aimed her gun next to her feet.

DJ looked down at her feet and next to her was Tara tied up with duct tape around her legs, hands, and mouth. DJ's eyes widen before he looked back at her with hatred.

Tara's eyes held the same fear that he had seen in them for the past few days. Her face was caked with sweat and tears as she desperately tried to get loose.

DJ tore his eyes from Tara and looked back at Amber "You would kill her too" he said in a broken voice.

She put her finger to her mouth and hummed. "Yeah I will and if you don't drop the gun right now, It'll be sooner rather than later," she said sweetly.

DJ narrowed his eyes at the killer in front of him. He looked towards Tara who had tears in her eyes. His eyes met hers making him want to drop his weapon. but every time he was about to she shook her no.

The sound of Ambers high pitched voice snapped him out of his daze. "Drop the gun now Dewey!! Five, four, three two-"

"Alright!" He said.

He put his hands in the air and slowly put the gun on the ground. "Good boy, now kick it over" she ordered. He kicked it toward her while glaring

Amber smiled and laughed before pointing her gun at him.

"Why,"

"I'm sorry I couldn't hear you," she said mockingly.

"Why kill your friends, was everything we ever talked about, wanted, or did just a lie," he asked.

She gave him a small smile and shook her head. "No Dewey, not all of it"

"Then why," DJ asked.

"Well, my partner has a different reason..."

"Partner," DJ thought.

"...But I have some other reasons besides that, but mainly they were always about you two"

"Us, what did we do," he asked shocked.

"You two fell in love with each other," she said looking between the two of them.

DJ's face scrunched up in confusion.

"DJ I've always liked you, and I've always loved Tara, but neither of you ever saw me. I thought that was ok, I figured if I couldn't have one of you I always would have the other. But when I saw the way you two would look at each other. The way you would steal glances at each other, I knew I was just an afterthought" she said with rage in her tone.

She was breathing heavily as she explained her story. She was practically foaming from the mouth as she spoke.

DJ couldn't believe his ears at the moment. He was utterly dumbfounded. "B- but you told me to go after Tara at the hospital," he said confused.
