Never have I ever

Chapter Four

The next day my mom woke me up really early which directly ruined my day. I couldn't wait to get to college where I could live in my own dorm without parents. "Get up! You have to get dressed for Cindy's funeral", she screamed hysterically. This woman can do nothing but lower my mood lately, can she?

I didn't want to go to the funeral, but it would be really rude not to show up, so I got my dark suit out of the closet and put it on. I went in the kitchen to eat a slice of bread with butter and got on my way.

At the church I first went up to Cindy's parents to give them my condolences, then I sat down in a middle row and watched everyone come in. As I turned around to the door my sight got tuck when I saw beautiful blue eyes. And they saw me too. After he went up to Cindy's parents he came back and sat down next to me.

We didn't say anything. It just wasn't right at that moment. We just looked each other in the eyes and it felt so much better than any words could at that moment. I just got more and more lost in his eyes until something on my pinkie which ripped me out of my trance.

I looked down to see Luke slowly putting his hand on mine. I tried not to smile too wide, because it would look bad. Considering we're at a funeral and all. I turned my hand around, so I could clasp it with his.

After a long tiring speech from the priest, we got to carry the casket to the grave and I nearly dropped it when I saw Nick coming down the hill, to the crowd. I tried my hardest not to freak out and put the casket down as calm as possible. I wanted to sneak away and ask him to leave, but the problem that Luke saw the concern in my dace and when he followed my look he saw Nick too. As soon as he had the chance, Luke ran off to Nick. I followed him as fast as I could, but I couldn't jeep up with him. I only got there when Luke had already wrestled Nick to the floor.

"Stop it!", I screamed. Luke stopped immediately, but I could see that he was furious. "What are you doing here? Why aren't you in prison?", I asked, completely overwhelmed with the situation. "They let me out, because they didn't have enough evidence against me and Cindy's autopsy didn't show any signs of foul play."

"You still didn't say why you are here", Luke asked again with a very tense voice. "I wanted to pay my respects. It would be rude, not to after all these years of friendship", Nick answered with the very smile, with which I fell in love, but now sees so hideous.

"Leave", I whispered. Nick asked me to repeat that. "Leave!", I got angry now. He tried to hug me, but I pushed him away. "But honey, I love you. You know I did it all for you.", he whined. "I never asked you to do anything. You just assumed Cindy was homophobic, so you killed her. And I'm not going to let you get away with it. I'll tell the police and you're going to get locked up again!", I threatened.

I turned around and started walking in the direction of the police station. "I love you, but I can't let you do this", I heard Nick say behind me. I turned around and suddenly was paralyzed. Nick stood behind Luke with a knife to his neck. I could see that Luke didn't dare to breathe properly. You could see the fear in Luke's eyes and the madness in Nick's face.

"I know you care about him, so if you want him to live, you shouldn't move", Nick was excited, which was just sick. "Please, Nick! Please, don't do this!", I begged. Nick just shook his head and started to grin again in this creepy way.

I couldn't just stand there and wait for Nick to go mad. I had to do something, I just didn't know what. I couldn't run to the police, because Nick would kill Luke. If I ran towards them to try and tackle Nick, it would probably have the same outcome. Trying to call the police wasn't likely to work either.

After just standing and thinking for a while, I looked up and looked in Luke's eyes which gave me hope the last time and they still haven't lost their effect.

I started talking to Nick. I didn't pay attention to what I said. It was something about how he was the love of my life and he shouldn't kill for me, because no one could destroy our love. After I talked for minutes, I tried slowly walking towards him, but he noticed as soon as I moved my foot. I panicked and didn't know how to act now.

Because I didn't have a better idea at that moment I ran towards them as fast as I could. But I wasn't fast enough. I had to watch as Nick sliced Luke's throat and started laughing:" If I can't have you, nobody can have you!" And as I tried to tackle him he stabbed me in my stomach and as I sunk to the floor I heard him say "I'm sorry" and ran off.
