Love Kills

Johns secret

I made my way to the front door of the coffee shop, before I could open it, a woman did for me, I'm guessing she was one of the waitress before I took a closer look at her. "Sorry sir, we're closed." But that's impossible, I never saw john walk out. I raised a eyebrow. She was about to close the door on me until I stopped her "Peggy? You work here? Where's John?" She looked up at me in shock and gulped. "Uh heyyyy Alex... what are you doing here so late?" I crossed me arms and glared at her "Peggy you don't work here. Where's John?" She walked out of the shop causing me to step back as she closed it behind her "he's fine, but you should really go home and rest." I was going to argue with her all night until she would give up and let me in, but then a plan formed in my mind. "Ok fine, but can I just use the bathroom really quick?" She bit her lip nervously "but your apartment is just around the corner.." I pouted and made the best puppy dog face I possibly could "please Peggy...! I can't wait.." she sighed and opened the door once again "fine. but hurry up." I smiled and ran it, "thanks Peggy!" I ran to the hallway where the bathrooms where but instead I decided to look around. I was about to check the kitchen until I heard people yelling outside of the back exit. I could have sworn I heard Johns voice. I walked to the door and I was shaking like crazy, I felt so nervous and scared of what I was about to see. I pushed the door open slightly, just brought for me to peak through. My heart started racing and I could hear my own blood pumping.

My eyes widened to what I saw. John had taped someone's mouth shut, "James I'd hate to do this but I can't have you going around like a man whore. You are so much like your wife, to bad I had to kill her too." John reached into the pocket inside his jacket and pulled out a knife. I was going to slam the door open and yell at John to stop but Peggy grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the door. I started to feel my eyes water up. "J-John... h-he's going to kill him!" Peggy dragged me out the shop and pulled me into a hug "shhh Alex I know... you can't tell anyone you know, ok?" I pushed her away and started yelling "you knew about this!? And you didn't bother to tell me?! What the hell is wrong with you! I can't believe it... I'm in love with a killer..." She grabbed my keys out of my pocket and pushed them up against my chest "Alex. Go home, rest and talk to him about it when he comes home, that's all I can say. Do not call the cops, do not tell, Eliza, Angelica, Hercules or Lafayette. As a matter of fact, don't tell anyone what you saw." I nodded still in fear, grabbing the keys from her hand and ran to my car.

Once I got to the apartment I slammed the door and started panicking in my room. I don't remember when exactly but I ended up falling asleep on my bed, I woke up and looked at my window. It was still dark, I grabbed my phone off my nightstand to check the time. 1:56AM I was surprised to see all the miss calls from John. I couldn't believe he was trying to call me instead of actually talking to me in person, but I guess I spoke to soon because that's when he knocked on my door. "Lexi... can I come in..?" I threw my pillow at the door and it made a loud thump "don't you dare call me that. So just go away John! I'm not talking to you! I'm just going to pack my stuff and leave. Forever." John knocked on the door once again, "Alexander.. please just let me in, I won't hurt you."
"Give me one reason why I should trust you!"
"Because I love you."
I could feel tears streaming down my face, his voice was always so calming and relaxing. I stood by the door just thinking about how I could be so stupid enough to fall for the generous smile of his, his lovable personality, and his cute, adorable, freckled face. I shook my head and cracked the door open. I crossed my arms and glared at him. He cupped my cheek with one hand and smiled "I didn't want you to find out this way.."
"Were you ever planning on tell me? John I couldn't dare watch you kill that man... it scared me so much to see you like that." He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into a hug "I know, I know... I'm so sorry."
"John...?"
"Hmm?"
"Did you really kill him..?"
"Yea... I had to."
I pushed him away from me, causing him to back up "why?! Why am I still with you?! You're a murder. I don't understand why I care so much about you." I growled as he looked down at the floor nervously. He laughed a bit and I don't even see how any of this is funny. "What the hell is so funny?"

"I worship you. I'd trade my life for yours... Lexi- I mean.. Alexander. I love you, I really do... and if you think about it I don't just kill for fun, I kill the people who do bad things." I was about to snap and start yelling but then a knock on the door interrupted us. There was a moment of silence before John walked over to open it, it was Peggy. "John, Alex. You are both invited to our fathers "family party" the whole group will be there too so I suggest you come." John nodded and he said his goodbyes to Peggy, "saved by Peggy once again." He said quietly to himself. Once he closed the door and turned around to start talking to me again I was drenched in my own tears. John walked over to me and picked me up, walking me into the living room, and sat me down on the couch. "Why'd you do it...?"
"He's a criminal. He was accused of rape and its true. So I killed him before he can lay another hand on anyone." I guess I kinda understood, but I couldn't help myself. I wrapped my arms around John and looked up at his beautiful face. "You wanna know why I fell in love with you, John?" I cupped his face with my hand and smiled slightly, "your eyes... Whenever I look into your green emerald eyes, all the worlds problems are gone, its peaceful, relaxing, and all I want to do is stay by your side..." John smiled and pulled me into a long, passionate kiss. "Then I've got plans for you, Lexi.."
