"what the fuck are you doing!?" i yell lunging for lachlan,

"back up" jj says walking closer,

"what's going on!?" i demand.

"grab his legs, if anyone asks he drank to much, fainted and hit his nose on a rock. hurry up" lachlan hisses and i obey just so josh is safe.

after getting odd looks from drunk, high teens and a few sober geeks and nerds we arrive at lachlan's car,

"you're gonna have to give me directions to his house" lachlan grumbles jumping in.

i gulp and look at jj who smiles and shrugs, asshole.

--

the drive to josh's was awkward,

very awkward.

"left turn here, keep on the inside lane and second house to the right" i mumble pointing out to lachlan,

"what a nice house he has, parents?" jj asks looking at me.

"away for business or something, never really home,"

"how, unfortunate" lachlan pulls into the driveway.

after grabbing the spare keys from the pot plant jj and lachlan toss josh on his bed upstairs,

"well?" i narrow my eyes as we walk into the living room.

"it happened 2 years ago,"

xix-lqchlan will narrate while simon lives in the story-xix

the world sort of speeds up for a second,

"i had this friend, he was good in school, didn't have many friends but was a genius"

a small asain child raises his hand to answer the equation 'what is x?'

"i adored him, but he fell in with the wrong crowd. he started to hang out with a ruffian"

time speeds up to the boy hanging out with a taller african british boy,

the small one smiles at the bigger boy as he puffs out smoke from his cigaret.

"that's going to kill you, one day" the small boy swings his legs back and forth,

"yeah? well, we eventually die anyway. why not make it a quicker process?" the older chuckles blowing smoke rings.

"i always tried to get him to hang out with me more then him, but i was way to busy with my hunting. i should have paid more attention."

the image changes to two boys standing in front of the school gate,

one the small boy, another a tall blonde.

"i'm sorry, i have work today" the blonde ruffles the smallers hair who pouts,

"but you always have work"

"work got in the way of many things in life, till that one fateful night. the 23rd of april, 2015"

time speeds up once again but faster,

i look around to see i'm in a dark musty room,

the three boys are stood,

alone.

"this is who you've been seeing!?" the blonde shouts at the smaller as he cowers behind the dark boy (no racism intended),

"please! don't hurt him!" the smaller shivers as the blonde holds the shaky gun in the air.

"please, don't do this. i never intend to hurt you're friend" the older started tightening his grip on the smaller,

"bullshit!" the blonde shakes his head.

"he's a monster, a freak!"

"please don't say that!" the smaller runs over to the blonde and puts a hand on the gun,

lowering it.

"ok," the blonde hesitates.

the smaller smiles but it quickly fades into horror,

his blonde friend whips the gun back up and fires.

what he didn't expect is for his smaller friend to jump in front of the firing line.

thud.

"vik!" the blonde yells crouching down to the smaller,

"no!" the elder crouches down as well,

"lachlan why!?" the elder tells tears streaming down his face looking at the blonde.

"shh, olajide it's ok. just remember, i love you" the smallers eyes go blank.

the world speeds back into normal time,

jj stands there with his arms crossed while lachlan sits down with his head in his hands,

crying.

"why?" i choke out,

lachlan looks up at me,

unable to speak.

jj looks at me,

"because, he loved him."
