starkid scare out!!

chapter five- dead or alive?

(sorry the updates have been sooooo slow but im back!)

"joe?" Lauren now saw it too, "oh my g..." Lauren stutted as Joe fell to his knees. "this is all my fault!" Joe yelled to the world, by now the team had joined Lo and Joe upstairs. "how is this your fault?" Lauren asked putting an arm around her morning friend.

what they were looking down at was the body of Joey Richter, once their friend now a distant memory, he was lying there blood and a crumbled packet of redvines in his hand, a water gun to his left and to his right an open cubed."guys, whats with the cubed, it looks as if he was looking in there for something." Brian said holding Meredith by the waist. "i doubt it, i mean what would our old Joey want wit-" Dylan stooped short, he had been walking towards the cubed whilst he was talking and now knew why Joey was by the cubed.

inside the cubed curled into a ball was Denise leaning up against the wall. Dylan felt her hand, "still warm?" he asked himself, "but... she looks dead?" Jamie said with a hint of worry. "yeah, come on!" Dylan picked up Denise and cradled her like a child as he steeped over Joey's limp body and carryed their friend to their room. "sorry Joey" Lauren muttered.

Joey was still lying dead on the floor but the team were crowding around Denise's bed as if she was a child ill from school only she was really ill. Meredith stroked her head as Lauren piled more and more blankets on top of her. "shes still berating!" Joe shouted in both a happy and sad tone, happy for his friend to be alive for now but sad for the loss of one of his best friends. Jamie pored some remaining water into a bole and dipped her cloth into it and patted Denise's head with it. Denise groaned and started throwing her head side to side, continuing, like it would never end but then it stooped. it went quiet.

"Denise?" Joe asked, please don't die! was the only thing he could think. "hmmm- yeah" a weak voice approached every ones ears, it felt like a kiss. everyone went closer and hugged her but she was struggling for breath. Meredith was crying as was Dylan, Lauren was holding her hand tight and Joe was looking careingly down. "guys.." Denise's voice was so quiet you couldn't even tell she was talking unless you could lip read. "what?" "i know who it is-" Denise was struggling and it was painful to watch their friend being put through so much pain. "wait you know who is the killer?!" Lauren asked in shock. "no, not killer... killers!" Lauren looked worryingly at Joe who looked at Brian who looked at Meredith who looked to Dylan who stared back at Denise. with that Denise took one more painful gasp and was gone. just like that.

again the boys were left to put both Denise's body and Joey's out in the garbage, (and of coarse they wanted better but at the time it was the only safe thing to do) "so, what are we gonna do?" Jamie asked the wheeping group. "what can we do?!" Meredith shouted at Jamie who was taken back and decided to write in her diary again.

just then Dylan's phone went off, "oh hang on" he said as he pulled his mobile out and cheked his messages.

one look at the phone, one look at the gruop.

"Lauren, can i speeak to you out side?" Joe asked Lauren with a worried look and tone.

"Sure, why?"

Joe pulled her slightly.

"Oh I forgot, Jamie, come with me" Meredith said to Jamie who had just put her pen down

"K...?"

Now only Dylan and Brian were in the room

Meredith led Jamie down stairs and Lauren led Joe to the girls room to talk.

"Yeah joe?" Lauren asked as she shut the door and locked it.

"Lauren I know this is risky, I know I shouldn't be doing this, but I have to."

Joe was close to tears

"What?" Lauren asked in her caring yet worried tone she had.

"Lo, you need to get out! Right now! We don't have long till the next kill. And believe me you don't want to be here for it!"

"What, Joe what are you talking about? Why?"

"Look, I'm gonna be straight with you. You can't trust anyone Lauren. Now get out!"

Shaking her head Lauren started to cry.

"No...NO! what is that supposed to mean?!"

Joe turned in disgust, unable to take the sight of his best friend crying so bad and yet he had to shout, he had to tell her.

Joe turned back and looked Lauren in the eye,

"You must promise to leave, Lo, you must!"

Again she shook her head

"I'm not leaving you"

Before Joe could say another word Lauren launched herself at him,

His heart suddenly leapt, he closed his eyes as he slipped his arm around Lauren's waist as Lauren ruffled his hair.

They leaned in closer, Joe opened his eyes to meet Lauren's they both smiled as they continued their powerful kiss.

They both started giggling as their love grew more and more.

Their kiss they were sharing started to turn into a full make out session.

Finally Joe pulled away from the bright red and very happy Lauren.

"Will you go now?" Joe said with a bit of a laugh in his tired voice.

Lauren nodded and they leant back in for a kiss.

But they stopped,

"What the?" Lauren asked as they both walked over to the door and unlocked it.

"MEREDITH YOU KNOW I WOULD NEVER-"

"OH SHUT IT JAMIE! I KNEW IT FROM THE BEGINNING! IVE SPENT TIME ON THAT RIDDLE AND-"

"It wasn't me!"

Joe and Lauren could both hear Mere and Jamie arguing down stairs, they popped out of the girls room and started down the stairs.

"Lo get out! Climb out of that window there!" Joe pointed to a window on the other side of the hall, "Joe! I'd fall!" Lauren complained

"Fine but stay close"

"What's all the racket?!" Dylan and Brian said at the same time walking slowly out of the boys room.

"It's the girls, they're arguing" Joe replied

"Oh God!" Brian pushed the others out the way and ran down stairs after the arguing couple.
