Lucky Number Seven

Tyson 96

Me and Fabian arrived at a place I knew all to well. The Tunnel. Well it really wasn't a tunnel more like a cliff with a tunnel running through it. I knew this place well because this is where me and Seven first made love, and no I'm not talking about having sex I mean really made love. I just could figure out for the life of me how Fabian knew this spot. We got out the car and waited, I mean I could run but I knew Seven was on the way, and it was best to stay here. But I still needed to stall for time.

"Fabian why did you bring me here? Why are you doing all of this?" I asked. I knew he would talk just for the sake of hearing his own voice.

"The why isn't important anymore Tyson, but since you're trying to stall for time I'll entertain you for a while. Besides the guest of honor isn't even here yet. I brought you here because this is the best spot to get away with murder. I mean not yours but Seven's you see, I'm trying to commit the perfect crime of passion. Just picture it Tyson, me and you sitting here watching the sun come up, confessing our love for one another. When suddenly your jealous ex shows up, spilling his heart out for you to take him back, and you finally confessing your love for me. Seven flies into a jealous rage and tries to throw me over the cliff, only to be shot by you. The love of his life." Fabian said with a crazed look in his eyes.

"And what makes you think for one second that I'll go along with this Fabian?" I asked scared shitless.

"Oh my dear, dear Tyson you didn't let me finish. You so overcome with the guilt of taking your ex's life, ends your own with a single shot to the head and me the lone survivor of this twisted version of Romeo and Juliet, besides myself with grief becomes the over night celebrity." Fabian said smiling.

"But I thought you were doing this so we could be together?" I asked confused.

"In the beginning yes, I wanted you Tyson in fact a part of me still does. But this is so much easier, leaving no loose ends. I do plan to fuck you before I kill you though and if I like it I might just spare you." Fabian said. I needed some more time a few more seconds, and for that I'd have to do the unthinkable. I walked over to Fabian.

"Fabian please, if you want to be with me just say it. Tell me you need me." I said not really looking him in the eyes but somewhere behind him. We made eye contact and understanding past between us, I had to do this. I pulled Fabian into a kiss and and I felt sick.

"DAMN IT TYSON!" Fabian shouted breaking the kiss. "Look I want to be with you, but in order for that to happen I need you to kill Seven. That's the only way I'll know you're serious."

"Fabian I'll do anything you ask if you do one thing for me." I said looking him in the eyes.

"Anything." He said just barely above a whisper.

"Drop dead." I said just as Seven hit him in the back of the head with a gun. I ran over to Seven and hugged him. Seven hugged me like I was the most important person in the world to him.

"Fabian give up I don't want this to go any further. Just let us go and you may survive this night." Seven tried to reason with Fabian. Fabian went to reach for something but for he could even react I shot rang out through the night. I looked at Seven to see the gun still by his side. I looked to where the shot came from and saw my dad standing there with a smoking gun.

"Alright boys call The Cleaners to clear this place up. Tyson, Seven ya'll need to get out of here." My dad said walking over and shooting Fabian one more time in the head. Then he passed the gun off to one of the people with him who also shot Fabian. Once the three people that showed up with my dad all shot Fabian, I made eye contact with one.

"Ty'ree?" I asked. He didn't say anything but I knew it was him.

"Seven, Tyson I already have your story planned out. You two were having dinner with me and your mother. So I suggest you get there and wait. We have a lot to talk about." I looked at my dad and saw that he was serious. Me and Seven looked back, as a white van pulled up and tossed Fabian's body in the back. As crazy as this night was it was about to get a lot worse.
