Fast update wiiii :DD

I tried...

3,729 words... good enough?

I hope you enjoy :))

*Ed’s POV*

“serial… killer?” Cher asks, her face in shock.

“aham,” I nod, “he, um, he’s a schizophrenic, and he’s been ever since he was like fifteen or so…”

“how do you even know that?” she asks, rubbing her left temple as she crosses her legs, one over the other, sitting on the edge of the bed.

“I spoke to his mother yesterday and she told me a couple of things…”

“oh because sure, why not tell the story of my mental son to a total stranger?” she says, sarcasm clear in her voice.

“well…” I drag, my voice a bit higher than the usual as I tilt my head to the side.

“oh my God, what have you done Sheeran?”

“I might have told her I was, um… working on his case?”

“YOU DID WHAT?!” she shouts in my face, gobsmacked.

“stop yelling! It’s not a big deal!”

“Ed…” she says, calmer now, “of course it’s a big deal, it’s a huge deal babe” she says, rubbing my biceps comfortingly.

“I know, but I had this, urge- to know what was going on with him…”

“why…?”

“I guess it’s because he was such a flirt with my sister” I seethe.

“oh, yeah, she told me she was attending him”

“yeah, well, she started to defend him, saying he was sick, but I didn’t like him, at all, and now even less…”

“oh Ed, don’t worry, she’s smart” Cher smiles, making me smile too but it drops once I remember what Daniel’s done.

“all of his other girlfriends were smart too…” I snort a small laugh.

“what do you mean?”

“he killed them… all of them”

“how many girls?” Cher asks, the colours of her face draining.

“his mother said there were around four official girlfriends, but he always raped or killed some other girls. Even some boys, and that’s when it clicked”

“what clicked?”

“he was going to kill all of the guys he took from the camp, not just have them there, or rape the girls. He was going to end up killing them all” I say, burying my head in my hands as she clings to me.

“they are fine Ed, all of the lads are having a good time, and Jade is coming back tomorrow” she coos, rubbing my arms and back with her delicate hands.

“where is she?” I cock my head to the side a bit.

“she went home in order to go to Hospital. Daniel um, he… he raped her, several times” she says, her voice a bit shaky as her stare falls to the ground.

“and she’s coming back?! I would leave this place if something like this ever happened to me, and would not ever come back!” I half shout out of pure shock, I mean, what?!
