PROLOUGE My life wasnt what it was thirty minutes ago. Thirty minutes ago I was the head cheerleader of my school with a hot boyfriend and I had the best friend a girl could have. Now, Im a murderers girlfriend. I guess I was already a murderers girlfriend when I agreed to be with Carlisle, but I didnt know it. That makes all the different to me. Hes been lying to me ever since then. But of course he was a murderer. How could I not see it? I only started to be haunted by his murderer best friend when I met him. I sighed. It seemed pretty silly now, how blind Id been. I guess I just didnt want to see it. Everything was too perfect. Damn, Im so mad at him right now. So very angry So why arent I calling the police right now? I dont even think I can hurt him like that. Even in his stupid Vanquish. I can so easily put a stone on its gas pedal and let it drive off a cliffbut I wont. Why? Because I still love him. Its only been thirty minutes.

KATELYN: Three month had passed since I found out about Carlisle. He hadnt tried to contact me and I hadnt seen him since then either. I spent most of my nights thinking about him and I wasnt just getting over him. I finally decided to go out and have some fun. Kira had been calling me since three days after when I told her that Carlisle and I broke up. I still hadnt told her why. So tonight I decided to take her up on her offer to take me to The Brink to have fun. It wasnt as easy as I thought it would be though. I kept thinking that I would see him. I hadnt given him back his car yet. I didnt know how actually. I didnt want to go near that mansion. But I didnt drive it. There were only happy memories of what I didnt want to remember in that car. It was just parked in our garage, looking so expensive and new. I still couldnt drive it off a cliff. Why cant we take the expensive car and look even cooler than we are? Kira asked. I dont want to talk about it Kira. Youve been saying that for three months now Katelyn. Why cant you just tell me what happened? Its complicated. I sighed. Im your best friend; nothing is supposed to be complicated for me. Please, just talk to me. What could have happened between you two that would make you completely stop talking to each other?

4|Page Katelyn and Carlisle 3

Look I was about to tell her, but I changed my mind; I just want to have fun tonight okay. Fine. Thats what I promised you wasnt it? We walked into the club. Lights flashed everywhere, music, dancing and fun. I could do this. All I needed was to take my mind off of Carlisle. But how could I? This was the place where, just a few months ago, I had one of my greatest memories. My birthday party that Carlisle and our families and friends had thrown for me. As I remembered this the music in the club changed to slow and emotional. The band started playing Eternal Flame, one of my favourite slows, and I had to get out of there. I ran outside, not telling Kira anythingshe probably still thought I was behind her. Good. I needed time alone. I ignored the fact that she was my ride home and I started walking away from the club. The further the better. It was kind of cold. Shoot! I left my jacket in the car. Oh well. I just folded my arms and continued walking. I had gotten about a block away when I bumped into someone. I looked up and it was some guy. Sorry, I wasnt watching where I was going. I apologized. Thats okay, I dont think any guy would mind if you bumped into them. He said, and then he smiled. I half smiled back. Are you lost or something? No. Im just getting some fresh air from the club. OhI was just heading there. Do you want me to walk you back?

5|Page Katelyn and Carlisle 3

I contemplated that for a moment, looking back at the club then down the street. Uh, I think Im gonna just continue my walk. Okay but you really shouldnt walk in the dark at night. There can be some bad people walking around here. Should I walk with youyou knowto keep you safe? I can take care of myself. Besides I barely know you. How do I know that youre not one of those bad people? Oh where are my manners? My name is DouglasDoogie for short. Do you have a last name? Yes, its White. And youre name is? Its Katelyn Chase. Okay Katelyn, nice to meet you. I have to go now though. I have someone waiting for me. Actually its more like Im looking for him. Oh. Who is it? Maybe I know him. Maybeits one of my old friends named Carlisle. Carlisle Woods. I froze. I couldnt catch a break. Even people I just met were talking about him. I dont know him. I said quickly and I looked down to hide my expression.

6|Page Katelyn and Carlisle 3

Oh well. Then Im off to the club then. You sure youll be alright by yourself? Yeah Ill be fine. I smiled. He gave me a half wave and headed for the Brink. I let out a heavy sigh as soon as he was far away. I obviously had to get further away from here to get my mind off of Carlisle. I walked a few more blocks before I found a park bench and sat down. As soon as I did, my phone rang; it was Kira so I answered. Where are you? she asked a little panicked. RelaxIm just a few blocks down from the club. Why? I thought were supposed to be having fun? You seemed to be. It took you long enough to realize that I went AWAL. Yeah well the club is pretty loud, not to mention you didnt even tell me you were leaving. I sighed. Im sorry. She sighed too. Youre forgiven as always. Now dont move Im coming to get you. She hung up. That night when I got home I fell back into my night routine that started three month ago. Take a bath; brush my teeth and just lay on my bed thinking about Carlisle until I fell asleep. Id decided to take his car back to him but I figured that, by morning, I would chicken out.

7|Page Katelyn and Carlisle 3

The next night someone knocked on my door. I expected someone else to get it but the knocking just continued. I walked downstairs quickly wondering why no one answered but they just looked at me like I was hearing things. The person knocked again. I sighed and opened the door. It was Kira. She started pulling me toward the car. What are you doing Kira? I asked, annoyed. We are going back to the club tonight to have fun. And Im gonna make sure that you do this time. She said. Dont forget her jacket! Mom shouted from the house and threw my jacket for her Mom! I protested. Go have some fun honey she said You need it. I groaned. Kira pushed me into the front seat of her car and quickly ran around to get in the drivers side. She didnt ask me anything about Carlisle like last night. I appreciated that. The club wasnt as bad as last night either. We found a table to sit at and watched the band play. Apparently it was Rock and Roll night, so I had no trouble with the songs. This is actually fun. I said. Yeah it is. She looking around me. And that hot guy over there is checking you out. I eyed her suspiciously and then turned around to see who it was.

8|Page Katelyn and Carlisle 3

Oh. Thats Douglas. I told her. You know him? How come? WellI kind of met him last night when I took a walk down the street from the club. But dont get your hopes up. Why not, he seems nice. He could get your mind off Carlisle. Thats just it, he cant! What do you mean? Last night he said he was looking for someone so I said, Oh. Who is it? Maybe I know him., then he said I put on a mocking guy voice Maybeits one of my old friends named Carlisle. Carlisle Woods. No way! But maybe thats not so bad. I dont see how thats not so bad. Shushhes coming over. I immediately pressed my lips together. Hey, its Katelyn right? he asked. Uhyeah, hi. I answered. I was just over there wondering if youd like to dance. Im not much of a rock and roll dancer. But maybe my friend here would. I looked over at Kira.

9|Page Katelyn and Carlisle 3

Nope. I think you would be better off dancing with Katelyn. She said smiling. Okay, well maybe tomorrow night then. I bet they wont have rock and roll night twice in one week. He said to me. Uh One second please. Kira blurted, pulling me into a far corner so Doogie wouldnt hear us. Whats wrong with you? I hope youre not thinking of saying no to him. she whispered in spite of where we were. Yes Kira, I was. How can I take my mind off of Carlisle with his friend? Isnt that strange to you? Come on, just one night, it doesnt even have to be a date. I sighed and we went back to Doogie. Is this some kind of date? I asked him. Not if you dont want it to be. Okay then it not a date, Ill see you tomorrow night at eight. Great. Ill see you then. Goodnight. He said then he left. Kira was staring at me with a wide grin. I sighed. Ill need you tomorrow evening. I told her. Why?

10 | P a g e K a t e l y n a n d C a r l i s l e 3

Because Im going to take Carlisles car back to him and I need you to stop me from bailing. Yay! Ill definitely be there. She squealed. At least one of us was excited. ### Kira was right behind me in her car now as I drove Carlisles Vanquish back to his mansion. It was two hours before 8 p.m. I was nervous as hell. How would it be between us now? Awkward? Angry? Sad? Tense? I could only imagine what he would say. We got to his mansion and the gates were already opening. The guards knew the car well and they knew who would be in it. I drove in, up to the main house. When I stopped I could see that Carlisle was already standing there. I took a deep breath and shut off the car, taking the key from the ignition. I got out and then looked back at Kira, who had parked right behind me. She didnt get out. Hello Katelyn. Carlisle said. At that moment I realized that it was still the most natural, easy action talking to Carlisle as breathing. I see that youve been expecting me. I said. Ive had the guards looking out for you since you left me. He admitted. Are you okay? Yes I am. Im just here to give you your car back. I held out the keys. He grabbed the hand that the keys were in and pulled me closer. I squeaked, not expecting it.

11 | P a g e K a t e l y n a n d C a r l i s l e 3

Are you afraid of me now? he asked. I didnt answer. He sighed. Ill understand if you are. I have to go. I said quickly. The proximity between us was making me feel light headed. I didnt want to feel this way for him anymore. I turned and headed for Kiras car. Where are you going? he asked behind me. None of your business! I answered. She has a date. Kira shouted to him from her car. Kira! I protested. What? she asked self-consciously. Carlisle started walking towards me very fast. A Date! How can you have a date with which looser? I stopped and he stood right in front of me. Does that make you jealous? I asked. Yes it does. In fact, it makes me furious. It causes me pain. And I would like to cause him some pain. Thats good; at least youre finally feeling the pain and not me. Katelyn his voice got softer there have not been a second thats gone by, since you left me, that I havent felt the pain of losing you. Awww! Kira crooned from the car.

12 | P a g e K a t e l y n a n d C a r l i s l e 3

I have to go, Carlisle. I said, quickly running back to Kiras car. Kira dropped me off at home, quickly reminding me that we had very limited time to get ready for my not a date. She would be back in a half hour so I went straight upstairs to freshen up. I put on something casual and waited for her to come back. At the club there was the usual mix of music again. I guess Douglas was right; I could dance with him now. Speaking of Douglas, he had just walked in. He came straight over to me and handed me a little pink flower. Wow, thanks. I said. Youre welcomed. He said back, and then he took the flower and put it in my hair. Thereperfect. I blushed. Kira had excused herself as soon as Douglas entered the club. I looked around and spotted her by the pool table and she winked at me. So I guess she wouldnt be joining us. Wanna go get a seat? I asked. I thought youd never ask. Sohow long are you in Greendale? Not long really. Im just here to deliver something to my friend. The guy I told you about the other night. Oh. I forgot his name. no I didnt Did you find him yet?

13 | P a g e K a t e l y n a n d C a r l i s l e 3

All of a sudden Doogies face turned serious. Then he composed himself. Uh, no, I havent. Is something wrong? No, I just really need to give him that thing. Oh. I thought about telling him that I knew Carlisle but that would ruin my night. So I just pressed my lips together. Do you want a drink? Doogie asked. Yeah, a can of sprite would be nice. Okay, Ill be right back. He got up and went over to the bar. As soon as he got there, Kira came over to my table. Hows it going? she asked excitedly. Its going great actually. He just went to get us some drinks. Where have you been? Oh, Im just dancing over there. You mean over there with those five guys? She blushed. Well, a girls got to have fun. We laughed. I looked over at the bar. Doogie was coming back. She spotted him and quickly went back to her guys. Heres your drink. He said.

14 | P a g e K a t e l y n a n d C a r l i s l e 3

Thanks. He looked over at Kira who was now dancing in the middle of the guy. She seems to be having fun. He stated. Yeah, but we are too. He smiled. Kira turned around and started pointing toward the door. Both Doogie and I turn to look. Oh crap! Carlisle just walked inmore like burst into the club and he was headed straight for us. Douglas stood to greet him but Carlisles face was nowhere near friendly. Hey, Carlisle, my friend. Douglas said with open arms. Carlisle ignored the greeting and grabbed him by the throat, slamming him down onto the table. The drinks slashed onto my clothes. Carlisle! I protested. What are you doing? Kira then came and pulled me away. Hey, dude, whats wrong? Douglas choked out as he tried to remove Carlisles hand from around his throat. Stay away from her Doug! Carlisle shouted and punched him in the face. He rolled off the table and onto the floor, holding his nose that was now bleeding. I went over and stooped down beside him. But not for long because someone grabbed my arm and started pulling me towards the door. It was Carlisle. Hey! Kira called after us as she started following.

15 | P a g e K a t e l y n a n d C a r l i s l e 3

Carlisle stop! I exclaimed. He said nothing as he continued pulling me. When we got outside Kira grabbed my other arm and started pulling me the other direction. My body felt like it was about to rip into two. Then Carlisle started shaking me until her grip slid off my arm and he pushed me into his car. I was too befuddled from all the shaking to respond before he got into the drivers seat. What were you doing with him? he asked after a minute of silence as we drove. I didnt answer him. I just took my phone out and sent Kira a text saying Im okay. Just go home. Arent you going to answer me? he asked again. I still said nothing. He looked over at me, frustrated and took my phone. Hey! I retorted. Oh, so no youre talking? Give me my phone back! What phone? he growled, throwing it out the window where it dismantled on the sidewalk. What is wrong with you? I didnt know that you were crazy too, I just though murders were your thing. And murderers are yours! he shouted. We pulled into his driveway then and got out of the car at the same time. I was still angry with him but I had no hope of escaping his stupid mansion. CARLISLE:

16 | P a g e K a t e l y n a n d C a r l i s l e 3

We went upstairs to my room. I was calmer now, especially since she wasnt near Douglas anymore. Of all the lame idiots in Greendale it had to be him. I was sure that it wasnt her fault though; he must have tracked her down. What did you mean by murderers are yours? she asked as she sat down on my bed. She took up the Swiss army knife from my bedside table, the last of the collection Paul once stole from me. I meant Douglas. Couldnt you tell by his I couldnt help but glower while talking about him. By his whathis cute hair and sweet smile? I dont care about his hair or his smile, I growled, disgusted. I only care about you. I know that hes here for a reason. Must be about Paul, he probably knows that I killed him. So? So, you have to stay here. You are not allowed to leave until Douglas is gone. Not allowed? So what; am I kidnapped now? Sure, whatever you want to call it, as long as you stay here. What about my phone? Ill have Phil replace it when youre allowed to leave. I said to her as I walked out of the room.

17 | P a g e K a t e l y n a n d C a r l i s l e 3

I got into my Ferrari and started searching for Doug. At least I only had two murderer friends. So after Douglas is gone I will have no worries. ### Ive been searching all over Greendale for Douglas for three hours. I guess I could let Katie go home now. I couldnt find him anywhere, maybe he left town. I drove back to the mansion and went up to my room. Katelyn? I called; no answer. I walked into the second room of my bedroom and up the stairs. Katelyn? I called again but still no answer. I wasnt one to panic so I went over to the window to think. I knew that she couldnt possibly leave the mansion. And there she was; I spotted her in the garden as I looked out of my window. She was staring at the white roses. Even in the bright white garden night light she was beautiful. I took out my cell phone and called Phil. Yes, sir. He answered Phil, would you please escort Ms. Chase up to my room. Yes sir, Im deeply sorry for letting her leave the room but I couldnt stop her, shes quite Its okay, I know how she gets. Did you register the new phone to her name as I asked before? Yes sir, Ill have Mary bring it for you now. Thank you. I could almost see him nod as he always did in response. The phone went dead and I turned and continued to stare at Katelyn until he got to her. Then I went

18 | P a g e K a t e l y n a n d C a r l i s l e 3

back down to the second room to put my pocket guns away. I had left the silver one in the car as usual. A few minutes later Katelyn and Phil came and one second after that Mary arrived. Katelyn was smiling at me. Wasnt she mad at me anymore? Mary handed me the phone and I nodded at Phil as he left also. You look less aggressive now than you did before I left. I told her. Well, the white roses here are very beautiful, they make me happy. She stated. So I see that I got a phone back. Does this mean that I can leave now? Yes it does; although I would like to keep you here forever. She smiled and walked down to the car. We drove in silence as stared at the white rose that I had Mary deliver before we left. I was in deep thought though I probably should have been paying attention to the road. But I couldnt help it; I just couldnt understand why Douglas had come to Greendale. Damn it! I said, slamming my hands down on the steering wheel in frustration, startling her. Why is he here? He said that he needed to give you something. She murmured, already knowing who I was talking about. Something? Something like what? He didnt say what it was but he said that he really needed to give that thing to you. Okay, so Douglas definitely wanted to kill me. Ill have to look for him some more later. We pulled into her driveway. All of the lights in the house were off so I walked her to the door. I wonder where everyone went. It was already twelve oclock.

19 | P a g e K a t e l y n a n d C a r l i s l e 3

Uhdo you want to come back to my place? Dark houses are never safe. Especially, when theres a murderer in town. She was just staring at me, saying nothing. She seemed confused my question. Katie? Uhtheres a little red dot on your forehead. Damn it! That sounded familiar. I immediately grabbed her and threw us onto the ground. Where did Doug get a sniper? I pulled her around to the back of the house with me and then took her house keys out of her back pocket. Hey! she protested. Shush I had no time to be polite. As soon as I got the door open I shoved her in. Stay low and be quiet. She nodded and started crawling in through her kitchen and into her living room. I followed closely, locking the back door behind me. We got to the stair which was directly in front of the window near her front door. She stopped and looked at me. I cautioned her not to speak and pointed up the stairs. She nodded again and started crawling. I was still just a few inches behind her. But it was enough to see that when the staircase creaked, a red dot appeared on her back. I pushed her to the side just in time to hear the small cracking noise. There was tiny bullet hole in the place where her back would have been. But that wasnt the only place. The hand that I pushed her away with was dripping with blood. The bullet had gone straight through my palm and excruciating pain followed the sight of it. Katie gasped and the red dot returned. I grabbed her, unfortunately with my bloody hand and ran up to her room. Carlisle, are you okay? she asked in a whisper.

20 | P a g e K a t e l y n a n d C a r l i s l e 3

Does it look like Im okay. I whisper through my teeth, waving my injured hand at her, I need something to wrap around this. She looked at the yellow shirt that she was wearing and then slid it off. Here, this already has blood on it. Then she went to her close to get a vest. As I wrapped the shirt around my palm I realized that that was all I could do. I had no weapon with me. All I could do was hide. Just then, I started hearing glass being shattered. But it wasnt coming from inside. I peeped though one of the bedroom windowscarefully I didnt want a hole in my face too. Some more glass shattered and I followed the sound of it to my car. Then I could see tiny dark holes appearing on roof of it. Douglas was shooting my car. I bet he was far enough from us so that if the car exploded he wouldnt be affected. But the fact was that Katie and I werent. So I had to find a way to stop him. I headed towards the door but Katie grabbed my hand. Where are you going? she whispered urgently. I have to go stop Douglas from shooting the car. Youre risking your life to save your car? No, Im risking my life to save you. You see this? I pointed to my palm with the bullet hole. This hurts like hell but it was the best decision I ever made because I did it to save you. So just listen to me. Stay under the bed and dont move until your parent get home. She was about to protest but I opened the door and slid into the hall. Lock the door. I was a little afraid to walk down the stairs but I had to. I opened the front door knowing that I may never see Katelyn again and waited for the red dot to

21 | P a g e K a t e l y n a n d C a r l i s l e 3

appear. But, of course I wouldnt see it coming. Suddenly my phone rang and my heart skipped a beat. I answered. Hello. Whats wrong Carlisle? Are you afraid of little old me? Douglas asked through the phone. Why are you doing this here? If you want to kill me, you know where I live. Youre mistaken old friend, I dont only want to kill you; I want to kill her too. Youre gonna kill her in her own house? Why not? You killed Doug in his. I did what I had to do to protect her. And Im doing what I have to so I can avenge Paul. He was always there for me. The last time I saw you, you were running away from him. It was a complicated relationship. I have a clear shot at your girl right now and nothing is stopping me from taking it but this conversation. I looked up at Katelyns window; she was looking down at me, a red dot on her forehead. Wait! Ill do anything, please, just dont take that shot. There was no response for a moment. Doug?

22 | P a g e K a t e l y n a n d C a r l i s l e 3

I want you in jail. He stated. What? I asked in confusion. You said anything. I want you to confess to killing Paul and go to jail. Then Ill leave your girl alone. How could I make sure that you would? Im coming with you. Im tired of this game Carlisle. Its just a matter of time before were both dead anyway. Im doing you a favor here, take it or Ill take the shot. Well Ive done it. Ive protected Katelyn from my friends. Okay Doug, Ill do it. Should I make the call or should you. Ill do it. He said then the phone went dead and the red dot disappeared from Katies forehead.

23 | P a g e K a t e l y n a n d C a r l i s l e 3

Juvi wasnt like I thought it would be. Most of the guys in here were scrawny; held for small robberies or selling drugs. But I kept to myself anyway. The yard was dusty and the sun was scorching. The wooden benches and tables were full of chips and splinters but I sat at themremembering. I hadnt had the guts to call Katelyn that night to say goodbye. She stared at me through her window and soon enough she was the one calling me. I had taken a deep breath and answered. Hey. My voice was strained. Whats going on? What are you doing down there? she asked. Im waiting. On what? That was when I had to explain to her. She argued with me and I argued back. She couldnt change my mind though; of course not I did it for her. I knew that this day was coming anyway. She had run down stairs after I hung up on her, I was fed up of arguing. She didnt even seem to care that Douglas could kill the both of us and save himself. She held me close for a few minutes until the police came and she didnt let go until one of them dragged me away. My fist came down hard on the dusty wooden table where I was sitting now. I never wanted her to see me like that. And now, to think that Paul would have tried to kill me in here if this happened earlier. That would have been fun; or at least better than sitting here all day. My parents couldnt believe their ears when they heard the news. I suspect that Ill walk free soon. They hired the best and most expensive lawyer to prove

24 | P a g e K a t e l y n a n d C a r l i s l e 3

that even I was lying. I had confessed to everything in the interrogation room, what could they do about that? Im sure theyll find a way. And if they do, I plan to start a great life somewhere in Europe. A piercing bell rang and I looked over to where Douglas was sitting. We both sighed. We were unfortunate enough to be stuck in the same holding cell. I looked around one more time at the filth and dust surrounding me and headed inside. THE END
