Sick Intentions

Chapter Six

Incoming Call

"Like clockwork." Piercen groans not averting his eyes, from the television above the fire place, to the pink encased phone lighting up on the small table beside him on his right near the door.

Continuous vibrating goes on interrupting his early news show as he drinks coffee in the early morning before heading out for work.

He waits for the vibrating to end before he picks up the phone and decides to give Helen's phone a look as he does every time the damn thing goes off.

Well he couldn't get rid of it could he? Wouldn't it be weird? Wouldn't it be suspicious for the phone to go off and all communication cut off? Wouldn't he be caught or investigated on the where abouts of Helen and Benjamin being the last to know where they are? Most of their stuff in the bedroom is gone thought but still wouldn't someone question where? What happened? How can you not know where they are?

Too many questions. Too many what ifs to have Piercen's life come to an end and ruin what he has going with Benjamin. He'd be in trouble. He'd be the prime suspect and he'll lose the love he has just begun to feel and explore.

He can't let that happen. He won't let it happen. He hasn't in the years he's been searching  for love. He knows exactly what to do. He has a master plan that is bullet proof  to avoid such suspicion.

After all he's been renting out the room for years and knows precisely what to do to make it appear like nothing has happened to the now deceased women who are buried somewhere no one will ever look.

Glancing down at  the screen he sees the missed call displayed with the name, Lizzie, right there. Helen's older sister she hardly talked to or had anything in common. Neither of them talked much and with miles between them it divided their relationship with one another even further.

Of course it will forever be permanently damaged and unfixable with Helen dead. No one can bring her back or go back to the past to make up for lost time. She's gone and that's that. Too little too late to heal a family relationship after their mother died back in August.

'They were never close anyway.'  Piercen thinks to himself recalling what he had overheard Helen complain to Benjamin about.

From Helen's point of view, Lizzie never cared about anyone but herself. She tried to be this perfect eldest sister that wanted to be there for her younger sister but it never appeared in such a way.
Lizzie is a hypocrite and looked down upon Helen. Looking at her younger sister as nothing. Giving her constant advice as if she knows everything and nothing Helen does it right. She tried to take the place of their mother and Helen didn't like it.

She couldn't stand her sister sometimes and when she could there was always something so small, so tiny bugging her inside to make their relationship a tense fronted lie. She couldn't stand her sister making everything about herself and never seeing what was around her. Never seeing the big picture that her words hurt Helen like a knife being stabbed into her. Criticism and judgment tearing down what made Helen, Helen. And maybe that's what made their relationship strained and kept the communication to a minium.

Piercen could hear the sound in her voice of annoyance as she held back what she truly wanted to say when he listened into her one sided phone conversations. His ear pressed to the door listening to her almost break and tell her sister off.

After each disasterous phone call he could hear Helen always curse. Silently and bitter at how much she couldn't stand her sister. Not holding back now with the phone call ended and it would only happen in time she would blow up on her sister and never want to speak to her again.

That day is today.

Piercen decides it's time to do what Helen has wanted to for years. Telling her sister everything she hates about her and doesn't want to speak to her again. Kick Lizzie out of Helen's life once and for all.

Well actually it would be Pieren's life to avoid these nuisance of calls and text messages sent to the phone which doesn't belong to him. He can end it and let the phone turn off. Not have to worry of suspicion that someone might come looking for Helen or Benjamin.

They are grown adults after all living miles away from their family and they have the right to not want them in their life. Just like Piercen believes he has the right to have and hold love for the first time. And luckily for him Benjamin's family doesn't communicate at all. Making him the perfect person to fall in love with.
