The Idea Of Things

"Hey, did you hear about Shakira" "no, what happened?" "well her mum found a new job over in Asia so she and her mum had to move over there" "her mum?" "yes Marrissa, her mum!" It echoed trough the room."but I thought her mum was a prostitute?" "yeah,And!?" I objected. I heard the door open and Marrissa twirled around her dress flowing. "how do I look?" she questioned with denial." hey cheer up, you look gorgeous and it's gonna go fine" I reassured her. so she closed her eyes and spun around her body looking directly at the mirror. she refused to open her eyes, then there was a knock at the door. "Coming" I yelled as I ran to the front door. I started to open the knob until I hesitated for some reason this just didn't seem right, it was a gut feeling!. I opened the front door slowly only to find uncle George there standing. "You properly know why I'm here?. He said with a concerned look on his face. "Because, we're 18 and your worried about us being here when mum and dad are over seas?" I grinned and said with a chuckle. he started to look really serious. "Alex, this is more serious then your stupid childish remarks" he sounded really pissed off at me. "there has been a murder" he said exhaling strongly with relief. "So?" I asked "how does this concern me" I Said with an annoyed look on my face. "I'm just warning you okay be careful it was only about two hours ago!" he stated with concern. he hugged me tightly and left saying" stay safe" and walked over to his police car and sped away the whole time watching me through the window. I slammed the door closed and ran back to my room. She flicked her blonde hair quickly and smiled and giggled at me." what happened?" she looked a little more concerned."oh there was a murder or some who ha like that" I said "oh" she kinda twitched. and walked over to my bean bag "is he coming?" she said as she slumped herself into the bean bag. "um.. Yeah!" I reassured her and then To my surprise there was another knock on the door this time I walked pretty casual to the door and opened it, it was him, Ian. he looked really good but he made me feel very uncomfortable for some reason as he stared at me and barged through the front door."um, excuse me?" I kinda glared at him. He sniggered a bit and then walked of with pride and a hop in his step. I snarled at him, he stopped!, and suddenly turned around very quickly and strolled tensely up to my face and that uncomfortable feeling I had before grew pretty quickly ."you wanna screw with me red head I'm gonna mess you up, but hey let that be your own funeral" he whispered firmly I pushed him aside to get to Marrissa." Don't go Marrissa! It's a really bad idea!." I warned her. He grabbed her at the wrist and practically dragged her to the car I was so nervous that she was with him but glad he was gone. I sat there on my phone with the tv on most of the time until a breaking news report came on. " breaking news!" "Murderer Donny brooks was captured this evening after the murder of young 14 year old Kayla Stewart and 19 year old Nicola Stewart" "the bodies were found in the trunk of a stolen car both decappitated and missing there lips" the news reporter exclaimed I quickly turned the tv off in disgust and rolled over on the couch. Then the door slowly creeped opened and a shadow of a foot appeared I was scared to the bone and hid under the blanket as I heard giggling and murmuring I slowly opened the covers and saw Marrissa and Ian laughing and as he went to turn the light of he kissed her I was watching in the dark. She lent in slowly and he bit her lip really hard before it got too intense I jumped off the couch and ran over to hug Marrissa. "Bye baby" she said kissing him goodbye. I slammed the door in his face and pushed her aside. "What the hell Alex, what is your problem?" She said with disgust. I just sighed and walked off. Later that night I was in my bed and heard a noise coming from outside I went over to see what it was, it was the sound of a shovel digging. I couldn't quite make out the figure of the person but it was strange and scary I chucked my dad's old snow jacket on and grabbed his shovel and went to see what the stranger was doing and then I got down and saw wide open eyes black as the night shiny as the moon I instantly fell in love with what ever it was but I couldn't help being scared. The figures noticed me and started to approach me I was so scared and then I heard police sirens and in an instant the figure was gone into the black night, I could still feel the icy cold breath on my neck I collapsed and was out there all night." Alex, ALEX!!" I woke to the sound of my mothers voice."what were you doing outside at that time of night." I couldn't tell her about the mysterious stranger so I just said" I was waiting for you to get home from the airport" I lied she believed me as she does and stroked my head and saw my arm it was covered in blood and her eyes widened." Alex what happened?" She said with concern, as she cleaned the blood off my arm. There was no injury or mark that means it was someone else's blood.
