Problems With Love

Chapter 21

Kris's POV

After the guys left Kristen went to bed and I watched TV. I was watching ESPN when there was some breaking news thingy on. "The Chicago Blackhawks and Rockford Icehogs have acquired right wing Jared Cramber from the Chicago Wolves in exchange for defenseman Bobbi Shea. Shea will report directly to the Wolves while Cramber will report to the Blackhawks."

My mouth dropped. "Holy crap!" Just then my phone went off. It was a text from Brandon. Then my phone buzzed again with a text from Corey. Luckily it was a group chat.

Brandon: Did you guys hear the news???

Corey: Yeah.....

Me: Holy crap I didn't know Jared played hockey. I didn't know he was good either!

Corey: Wow....

Me: Do you think he'll be at practice tomorrow??

Brandon: I'm not doubting it.. I bet he will be.....

Me: Shit

Corey: Agreed

Me: He's the type of guy I never wanna see

Brandon: I feel the same way...

Corey: I guess we'll just have to wait and see at practice tomorrow.....

Me: alright see you guys tomorrow

Brandon: see ya

Corey: Bye

Well this should be interesting.....

Around 11:30 I decided to go up to bed. When I passed Kristen's room I heard her screaming and sobbing. I quietly walked into her room. Kristen was sound asleep but tossing and turning. I run over to her bed and shake her lightly. "Kristen!! Kristen wake up!!" She woke up right away. "You ok?" I ask. "Yeah," she says out of breath. "Bad dream?" I ask. She nods. We sit there silent for a while. "What was it about?" I ask. She's silent for a minute. Then she finally speaks. "Jared... He came back and tried to kill you and Brandon and Corey and Raanta. Then he raped me and killed me too." She starts to cry again. I hug her. "It's ok sis. That won't happen. I promise. But about Jared......well did you know he plays hockey?" She sniffles. "Yeah." I take a deep breath. "Well, um yeah about that, he's gonna be playing for the hawks now." She groans. "You've got to be kidding me!" "I wish I was," I say.

After talking for another minute or two I let her go back to sleep so I can go to sleep myself. I change my clothes and collapse into my comfy bed. I quickly fall asleep.

Kristen's POV

I fell alseep easily but had a horrible dream.

Dream:

I hanging out with Brandon, Corey and my brother. We went and saw a movie and then went out to dinner. On the walk home I felt like someone was following us. I looked behind me and saw no one, so I just brushed it off.

We went back to Kris and my place and just hung out. At one point the doorbell rang. Kris got it. "What are you doing here?" he asked. His question is followed by loud popping sounds. Gunshots. The 3 of us race toward the door. Standing there with a gun was Jared. His tall muscular figure outlined in the darkness. His dirty blonde hair messy. His emerald green eyes sparkled with evil.

Kris lie dead on the floor. I ran over and knelt down next to him. I shook him trying to get him to wake up. "Kris!! KRIS PLEASE WAKE UP!!" I sobbed. I heard more gunshots. I turn to see Corey and Brandon fall dead. I rush over to them and tried to wake them up. Nothing. They were all dead.

Then Jared dragged me to the couch and shoved me down. He gets on top of me taking his clothes off. He tried taking my clothes off but I managed to resist. Somehow I managed to shove him off. Jared ends up naked on the floor. I jumped off the couch and ran. I ran to Antti Raanta's house since he lived a few houses down. I rang the doorbell. No answer. I banged on the door. He finally answered. I was in tears. He asked me what was wrong and I explained everything. We went back to my house so Antti could see everything for himself. He was shocked.

Jared reappeared. Antti tried to fight him off and help me escape but it didn't work. We were running back to his place to hide but I stepped in a hole in the ground and twisted my ankle. I tried to get up but I couldn't put any pressure on my left ankle. Antti turned back to try to help me, but it was too late. Jared pulled the trigger ending my life....

End of dream

Kris came into my room and woke me up. He asked me what was wrong and I told him my dream. He calmed me down until I fell asleep again.

The next morning I woke up to 16 missed calls. 15 from the same unknown number. 1 from me "ex" in Florida, who I actually kinda miss. He left a message saying how me misses me and we need to catch up. I texted him and told him I got his message and I'll call him later. However the unknown number left only 1 message. I played it. "I'll be back," a deep creepy voice said.
