Jealousy Consumes the Good in People's Soul

Start - End

Jealousy Consumes the Good in peoples Soul's.  The School bell screamed, all the kids ran inside, accept for us three Jennifer, Castemial and I, Jimmy. We decided to be 'Accidentally' be late for class so that we could miss the first ten minutes of the class since we always seem to be sitting there for ten minutes before the teacher walked into the classroom. I thought this is would a Perfect time to ask Jennifer out on a date since I heard that she liked me and I have liked her for more years than I can count. I slowly walked up to her and took a deep breath.... She turned to me and we make eye contact. I started to blush a bit and realized that when she blushed as well. Castemial went to get a drink of water because he was "too hot" (it was freezing.) I took another deep breath and I said to her... "Jennifer I have wanted to ask you this for a while now... I think now is better time than ever, would you um... like to um... Go on a date with me" As Castemial walked back just to hear me say the last 5 words, she gave me a huge hug and said I would love too. Castemial dropped his drink picked up his Bag and walked in the direction towards our classroom, we looked at each other with surprised looks on our faces and decided to follow him. He walked straight in the classroom ignored the teacher when he asked "Where have you 3 been" I made up an excuse while the Jennifer and Castemial sat down, Castemial shoved his bag to the ground, Grabbed his music and headphones out and just played it really loud, even though he had headphones I could still hear it. The teacher asked him many times to turn it down then he walked over there and did it himself, Castemial just stared at the teacher then turned them back up when he sat down, Then the teacher sent him down to the principal's office so he could "cool down" but he just went home. After class Jennifer and I went to the lake to talk about our date, as well as to hopefully see Castemial because we used to always go to the lake to talk, but he wasn't there. We talked for hours and hours about where we going to go, what time and what day I will pick her up, We decided everything then saw that Castemial was walking over, we got up and walked over to him. As we finally meet up with him, he just whispered she will pay for what you did, she will pay... then he just walked off, Jennifer and I were just staring at each other, as Castemial walked away. I was so confused, but then I realized that Jennifer was looking at me, So I turned to her and just blushed and thought that Castemial's problem would just disappear in a couple of days. Boy... was I wrong... He never showed his face at school that week, never answered any calls, When we went to his house no one was home. I was thinking that something super suspicious was going on and I wanted to get to the bottom of it. The next day, I was calling Jennifer but she wasn't answering I was thinking that maybe she had ran off to find him... but was hoping that wasn't the case. They both didn't come to school the next day, and on the night we were meant to go on the date... she never showed... I was very angry now, we spent all that time planning it and she doesn't even show up, I wanted to get to the bottom of this now. The following weekend I was getting ready to see what was going on with Jennifer, I drove to her house and walked to her doorstep to see that her mum ran out crying, I quickly caught up to her to see what was wrong, I found out... Jennifer hasn't been home all week as well as Jennifer's mum got a phone call saying "You will never find her",now I was freaking out, I tried calling Jennifer's cell again but she wouldn't answer. Her mum showed me the message that she got from the man, I thought I recognized the voice, but I couldn't put my finger on it, I was in shock, I never thought this would have happen, not now, not when I asked her on a date, My life was going down into a Deep dark destructible hole and it's going to take forever to climb to the surface. I was slowly trying to regain my strength to what I heard, I was so shocked, I was a Statue stuck in time. I knew that I was going to need to search for Jennifer and find out what has happen to her, and who has done this to her. I was furious that someone might have hurt Jennifer, I feel like I'm going to break, I feel like I'm going to just hit the wall so hard I'm going to punch right through it. The temptation of running outside and finding her is going through the roof, but I need to calm down Jennifer's mum so she doesn't run off with me because she needs to stay at her house when the cops arrive... I finally calmed her down when the police arrived, they asked her a few question while I could sneak out the back to avoid been held back anymore, when I could be looking for Jennifer. I looked everywhere high and low, I asked friends, family and strangers anyone I could think of that would know where she was, but no one knew. I was so scared for her safety at this time, I try to call Castemial's cell, see if he knew anything, but it went straight to his voicemail, Then it clicked to me... the man voice was.... that ... Castemial's Voice....? I was shocked that it could be... I was speechless because... it had to be... it made sense... She will pay for what I did, but what did I do, did I cause all of this to happen? I need to find out what, I drove to his house as fast as I could, ran out of my car and up to the doorsteps then... BOOM I lost consciousness... I woke up the find myself strapped to a chair and sellotape strapped to my mouth, all my senses start to boot up, I hear a women crying, I look around to see Jennifer strapped to another chair, I feel so delighted to see that she is still alive, then I see the cuts on her arms and legs, my happiness drops faster than rain, I look into her eyes and all I can see is pain... so much pain, I feel dizzy like I'm going to faint, I keep my eyes open... then I hear footsteps, I look around to see who it is, he's walking around to Jennifer, I hear Jennifer scream... , I'm trying to talk, buts my lips won't budge from the sellotape. I feel my lips start to burn as this man rips the sellotape RIP. I moan in pain, I realized I can talk, I start asking questions "Who are you? What do you want with us? Why are you torturing Jennifer?" He said "shh, I ask the questions", I hear Jennifer's sellotape get ripped off and she screams in pain. I ask Jennifer "are you alright?" She screams again, and the man says, "I ask the Questions". While he is talking I'm trying to untie the knot tying my hands together, It seems pretty loose, If he doesn't realize I should be able to get free if I keep him distracted for a couple of minutes. I'm so close to untying the knot, I can feel my hands again, they still feel a bit numb but it will pass , I'll wait until he goes past me again then I will Jump at him. He slowly walks close to me, I'm sweating heaps, I quickly Jump at him, Jennifer screams in shock, I knock him out temporarily, I run over to Jennifer and untie the knot, I tell her to get out of her while she can, she runs out of the room while making a phone call. I turn back to the man and identify him.... It .... Was.... Castemial.... and he's holding a knife (looking Smart as a tack if I do say so myself), I look around to see if anything I can defend myself with, I run around the empty warehouse looking for the weapon that can save me. I stumble across Pens, Paper, Boxes and random plastic things, I grab one of the boxes and I threw it at Castemial, I heard something metal hit the floor... Ting ... was hoping that it would be something to protect me, I wonder around the warehouse so that he would follow me away from the metal, so I could circle back and grab it. I finally circled around and searched for the metal object, I searched everywhere, I had to circle again, I finally found in under the box I threw at him, it was a long pole... I was kind of happy that it was a good defense weapon but unsatisfied because it wasn't sharp then I felt a blade touch my back... and Castemial laughed... and said "You thought that pole would save you?" He pushes the knife a bit in my back I start to bleed and I drop the pole. I turned around and knocked the knife out of his hand and I ask Castemial, "Why are you doing this" while I make some distance between us... he stops for a minute, he looks like he's just wandering into the darkness, I take this time to grab the knife and knock him out, or at least make it so he can't walk so I could make an escape, I start to run at him, he looks like he's snapping out of his daydream, He snaps out of it and whispers "You know why"... I stopped running and just looked at him... confused, "I'm sorry... but I don't understand what I'm trying to remember, you only started to act weird when I asked...." he cut me off "Yes... When you asked Jennifer out" I just sat there dazed... smiled a little bit when I remembered that day, "Are you jealous, that I'm going out with Jennifer" He just laughed "No... I'm jealous that she's going out with you..." I just sat there like stunned about what I just heard, Me being confused asked him "You have feelings towards me..."? He looks like he's seen a shark, he said worried "Yes... I've always had this thing for you" I started to hear sirens outside the warehouse, I assumed the Jennifer called the police as soon as she got out... I tell Castemial, "I'm sorry, I had no idea, but you have known that I like Jennifer for as long as I have known..." The police barged in the warehouse, grabbed me and Castemial,handcuffed us both and took us away. I sat in the Police car until Jennifer told them that I didn't do anything. I finally got let go, walked over to Jennifer and tell her "I'm sorry I brought you into all of this" she just giggled and said "I'm sorry we missed our date" I blushed and then I heard Jennifer's and my Mother run towards us yelling out our names, I waved at her, trying to act like I'm happy so that she wouldn't worry as much, but you know how mothers are... Worry, worry, worry. Two weeks later Pass, everything was back to normal. Jennifer and I were cheerful as ever, I felt really bad knowing that this whole incident was my fault, but I tried not to think about it because It would make me feel like crawling into a hole, My best friend is now gone and it's all my fault... I tell Jennifer why Castemial did all this and what happened in the warehouse after she left, she just laughed and said "You're mine" I blush heaps, looked into her eye's and leaned down and kissed her...
