How To Save A Life

What the Future Beholds

Vik >POV<

"I love you too."

When I said that, his eyes immediately lit up. Going from the dull grey, back to his normal bright blue, to a sparkling bright blue.

He smiled wide as he closed the gap between us again. We were in the middle of a passionate kiss until I realized something. I broke the kiss.

"I love you Lachy but, what are we gonna do about Skye?" I asked him.

His smile dulled as he realized that was a problem.

"Can we just- just sit here and cuddle and not worry about that? For now?" He asked as he snaked his arms around my figure.

I smiled small.

"Sure, but just for a little," I said as I rested my head on his shoulder.

We sat there for a couple minutes until we heard the door open.

We looked at each other scared as we realized Skye's body was still there. And the guys were back.

"Hey doods! We couldn't find her!" Mitch yelled as he stepped out of the kitchen and saw us.

He looked at us shocked as we just sat there.

"What did you do?!" He yelled.

"I- I. You don't understand. You see-" before I could continue Lachlan cut me off.

"I killed her. Simple. I killed her. I thought she was in my way of getting to Vikk and she got under my skin and I killed her. I'm sorry." Lachlan said with more confidence than when he was talking to me.

Preston, Jerome, and Rob stood next to Mitch, all of them in shock.

"You know we have to call the police. This isn't something that can just be forgotten, especially because she was someone we all cared about or, so we thought," Mitch said emotionlessly.

"No, please don't guys, we all know Skye wasn't happy maybe she's happier no-" I started but was cut off by Mitch.

"Are you insane? Oh wait, you are because you allowed this to happen. We HAVE to turn him in! This wasn't just an accident!" He yelled.

"Yes it was, Lachlan didn't mea-"

"Stop! Okay. You're obviously too blind to tell that Lachlan is insane and needs to be turned in."

Mitch reached for his phone and called the police. While I was arguing with Mitch I didn't realize Lachlan was on the floor sobbing.

I sat down next to him and hugged him, trying to calm him down.

"Shh," I whispered, "it's okay Lachy. It's all going to be okay."

"No it's not, I'm not going to be with you. I did all this to be with you and now it's all for nothing. I'm sorry Vikk. I'm sorry." He said in between sobs.

"Lachlan really, it's okay. One day you'll be back, and I'll be there waiting for you."

He sniffled, "I love you Vikk."

"I love you too."

><><><

The police eventually came and took Lachlan away. Mitch, Rob, Preston, and Jerome didn't care, they just waited for the investigation people to come and investigate the murder for the court case. I just sat in the corner thinking.

I loved Lachlan the whole time, but I was too blind to see that.

><><><

The case was today, I walked in and sat on the side that was for Lachlan to be innocent, the others were on the guilty side. I don't identify them as friends anymore. Real friends would support each other no matter what.

The case started and the evidence was shown to the judge and jury. Lachlan didn't plead innocent, he knew he was guilty, all the evidence pointed towards it.

Before the jury made a decision they asked questions that made me tense up.

"What happened to her family?"

"Did anyone investigate that?"

"Check the camera files."

They realized they never checked that and brought up the files.

They projected the video and played it for all to see.

Everyone watched as I entered the home, and killed them.

They looked around and the judge's eyes landed on me.

"Get him!" He yelled.

The police grabbed me and I didn't resist, I knew how this was going to end.

I didn't plead guilty, I didn't say anything.

Soon Lachlan and I were deemed guilty of the crimes we were accused of and sent to a cell.

We were thrown into the same cell and I just sat there. I didn't think they would find me, I was just too stupid to realize.

Lachlan crawled over to me as I sat there in shock.

He wrapped his arms around me and placed me in his lap. He didn't say anything but his presence was all I needed.

We stayed there enjoying each other's company.

What have I done?
