CHRISTINE

“Christine, I’m really getting sick of you being all over your ex-boyfriends” Aj looked furious.

Christine: “I’m sorry! But it was our song, and he is still my good friend. You shouldn’t be so jelous, you should trust me!”

Aj: “I trust you Christine, but you’re my girlfriend! I can’t allow you to be with all these guys and...”

Christine cuts him off: “Hello!?! Since when do you decide what I’m allowed or not allowed to do??? You’re my lover, not my dad?”

Aj: “No, I’m not your dad, bu I am the man in this relationship, and I’m not going to let you...”

Christine interupts again: “Going to let ME??? You don’t tell me what to do!”

Aj: “Woman, just shut up and let me talk.”

Christine: “Don’t call me woman, and don’t tell me to shut up.”

Aj: “Listen, just staw away from that Anthony creep.”

Christine: “No! You’re the creep!”

Aj grabs Christnie by the shoulder and pushes her up against the wall. His grip is so tight she can’t even move. He brings his face close to her, he can see the fear in her eyes and he whispers “Now, listen. You stay away from him.”

Suddenly the fear in her eyes dissapeared and was replaced by a look of defiance. She looked Aj straight in the eyes and said: “No. Anthony is my friend.”

Before she could even finish, she felt a very sharp pain on her side of her face. Aj slapped her so hardshe fell to the ground. She fought to hold back her tears. Thoughts were racing through her mind. “How could he do this? This can’t be Aj, Aj would never hurt me. What’s happend to him?” She looked up and tears started streaming down her cheeks. Aj was pale, he was standing there looking at his hand. Then he looked at Christine.

Aj: “I-I-I-I, I hi you. Ohmygod. I h-h-hit you. What’s wrong with me? What have I done? I-I-I don’t know what came over me... Christine I’m so sorry...” He reaches down to her.

Christine: “Don’t even touch me.”

She got up, steadied herself with the help of a chair, and leaves the room to get some ice.

Amanda wakes up in a cold swea, her whole body is shaking. She just had the worst nightmare. She slips out of Brian’s arms and goes down to the kitchen to get some water. She sits down and drops her head in her hands. The tiles are cold beneath her bare feet and gives her goosebumps. She didn’t bother turning on the lights, she didn’t want to wake anybody. She sat there, silently, trying to get the scary images of her dream out of her mind. That’s when she heard it. A noise coming from outside. She slowly got up and walked cautioisly to the window. She looked out, the night was still. It calmed her down a little as she watched the moon’s reflection rippling over the water. Then she let out a blood curdling scream that pierced through the air. What she saw, made her want to throw up. Floating on the water of the stll dark ocean, was a limp body, face down. Dead.

AMANDA

The scene at the car crash was brutal. Paul’s car was smashed on the drivers side, and it was turned upside down. Kevin and Howie had been trying forever to pry open Paul’s door. It was no use. Kevin then ran to his car, and grabbed his cell. He went to call an ambulance, but the battery was dead. There was no phone around for at least a mile.

Howie: “Hey Kevin! I think I got it open!”

Kevin ran to help Howie. They were able to get it open. Paul and Dhanesh were beaten real bad. Paul had a large cut across his forehead, and Dhanesh was moaning and holding onto his arm. They were both still conscious. They helped Paulo out first. As they were pulling him out, something fell out of his pocket. When Paul was out of the car, and he was layed down, they got Dhanesh out. He was in a great deal of pain. His arm was all cut up and you could see his elbow bone stick out slightly from his skin. Kevin immediately wrapped up his arm with an extra shirt hefound in the car. Howie and Kevin got the two guys into the car. Before they left for the hostpital, Howie went back to the car, to see what it was Paul had dropped. It was Cassie’s engagment ring. He looked at the ring, placed it in his pocket, and ran to the car, so they could head off.

* * *

Caroline, Christine, Aj, Brian and Nick all woke up to Amanda’s scream. They all ran down to the kitchen as fast as they could. Amanda was standing there trembling.

Brian: “What’s wrong sweetie?”

Amanda: “Out there. The water. There’s a dead body in the water.” She pointed towards the water. Brian, Nick and Aj lead the way while the girls followed behind. Nick went in the water first. He found a stick lying on the sand, and slowly turned the body over. A look of discust flew over Amanda’s face. “It’s Rick.” She turned away from the body.

Aj: “Who would have done this?”

Amanda: “Brian... Did, you...”

Brian: “Hey... I know I said I was going to kill him, but I never actualy meant it...”

Nick: “We better call the cops and get him out of there.”

They all then went back to the house, and Nick called the cops. Then they got back in, there was an envelope on the table. Amanda’s name was written across it.

Amanda: “Brian, can you open it?” He nodded, and opened it. Inside was Rick’s access card, and a letter. Amanda took the letter from Brian,and read it aloud.

Amanda: “My dear Amanda, here is a memory of your Rick. He’s gone, and guess who’s next? Watch your back and remember... I’m watching you.” Amanda’s trembles started up again. “What and I supposed to do? This creep knows when I’m home, and when I’m not. He can get in and out of the house without anyone knowing.” She began to cry, and Brian craddled her in his arms.

Brian: “Don’t worry Amanda. You’re not leaving my sight. I’m going to be by your side twenty four seven.” Everyone went back to their rooms, and into bed. Amanda lay as close to Brian as she could.

* * *

“He, he, he... That’s Amanda. Everything you do and say just leads me one step closer to having you.” The man stared at her flipping you. He watched over the scene through his binoculars. “Soon Amanda, very soon...”

* * *

DHANESH

(Author’s Note: Like I told you all before, this is our friend Dhanesh. He had told us that he was able to write a better story then us, so we put him to the test. Here’s his parts to the story. Hehehe... If he only knew we had this up... hahaha)

Cassie and Lisa had been worrying for hours. They didn’t know what to do, or where to go, because they didn’t know what exactly happend. The sun was about to rise, when they came back home, and the phone rang.

Lisa: “Hello?”

Kevin: “Hi Lisa. I have some bad news.”

Lisa: “What happend to Dhanesh? Is he okay?”

Kevin: “How did you know?”

Lisa: “That doesn’t...” Cassie took the phone away.

Cassie: “How are they? Is Paul okay?”

Kevin: “They got into a car crash. How and I luckily passed by then and brought them to the hospital. They’re all bruised up pretty bad. I think it would help a lot if you got over here.”

Cassie: “We’ll be right over.”

* * *

Amanda couldn’t sleep all night, so she was the first one to get up. On the table, she found a note that said where Lisa and Cassie went.

Amanda: “More bad news.” She sat down. Just then,Brian walked in.

Brian: “Hey honey, how are you feeling?

Amanda: “Worse. Dhanesh and Paul got into an accident last night.”

Brian: “Well, let me make you breakfast.” Brian leaned to kiss Amanda on the cheek, when he noticed the back door was unlocked. “Who was the last on to come in last night?”

Amanda: “I was... But I’m sure I locked it. I better go check on the gang. I can’t handle anymore bad news in my life.”

Amanda goes upstairs to see if everything is alright. First, she goes into Caroline’s room. Sound asleep. Then, Amanda walks into Chris and Aj’s room. From the door, they look asleep. But as she walked closer, she noticed something was wrong. Aj and Christine were tied up and gagged with towels. Amanda let out a scream, “BRIAN!!!”, but before she could do anything else, someone grabbed her from behind and the man said: “Dont move...”

* * *

Lisa and Cassie sat beside the beds of Dhanesh and Paul, where they waited helplessly. Kevin and Howie walked in with some coffee.

Howie: “Cassie, could I, umm... Talk to you for asecond.” Cassie, without answering, wipes a tear and follows Howie to the hallway. “What is it?”

Howie: “I know this isn’t a good time, but I’m really hurting inside. Do you still love me?”

Cassie: “How dare you ask me such a questiong at a time like this? Don’t you think I’m hurtng inside too? No, of course not, because you’re always thinking of yourself.”

Howie: “Fine, I’ve had enough of this! Oh, bye the way, you’re welcome for saving your boy toy’s life. And you can have this back too...”

He hands her the ring, and storms out while swearing in Spanish. Cassie watches him leave and walks back into the room. Surprisingly, she was delighted to see. Paul talking to Lisa. She runs and kissed him a dozen times.

Cassie: “Oh Paul! I was so worried! I was praying that you would make it! Oh, Paul, I love you so much! Don’t ever scare me like that again!”

Paul: “I missed you too. What happened? All I remember is seeing bright lights.”

Kevin: “Yeah, you and Dhanesh got into a car accident. Howie and I brought you here.”

Paul: “Thanks man. I owe you one. How’s Dhan?”

They all looked towards his bed to see Lisa sitting beside it, with tears coming from her eyes.

Lisa: “He should have been up by now. What’s going on? I’m really scared.”

Cassie gets up and hugs Lisa. “Don’t worry. I’m sure he’s going to be okay. You know Dhanesh, he’s probably teasing you.” A little smirk comes over Lisa’s face.

Lisa: “I hope so...”

* * *

Brian runs into the room. “Who the hell are you???” The man is holding onto Amanda at gun point. Caroline and Nick run to see what’s going on.

Man: “So you don’t remember me, eh? Well, maybe this will refresh your memory.” The man takes off his mask.

Nick: “Oh shit! I thought you were dead.”

Man: “Yes Nicky Boy, you THOUGHT I was dead, but do us all a favor and don’t think. I faked my death, assholes.”

Caroline: “Who’s this guy?”

Brian: “He used to stalk me when we first started. He dressed like me and everything, be cause he was jelous and wanted to be me.”

Nick: “His name is Bernard Edmunds. What do you want?”

Bernard: “What I always wanted... To be like Brian. He always got all the girls, so I’m just going to take this one.”

Caroline: “But you have a gun to her head!”

Bernard: “I’m not going to kill her you crazy bitch! I’m just using the gun so pretty boy over there won’t try anything stupid.”

Without knowing what was going on, Howie walked into the house, with a horrible attitude. He heard all the comotion going on upstairs.

AMANDA

Lisa was sitting next to Dhanesh holding his hand.

Lisa: “Dhanesh, please, wake up. Everyone here wants to see you. Why aren’t you waking up?” She began to cry. She was so into her crying, she didn’t even see Dhanesh wake up. He squinted a bit.

Dhanesh: “Lisa, why are you crying?” She wiped her tears.

Lisa: “Dhanesh!” She jumped up and hugged him.

Dhanesh: “Ow!” He grabbed his arm. It was all wrapped up from the accident.

Lisa: “Oh god. I’m so sorry. I’m just happy that you woke up. I was scared that you weren’t going to.”

Dhanesh: “How’s Paul?”

Lisa: “He’s doing a lot better. Cassie’s over there now, smothering him with her kisses.” Back over at Paul, Cassie was still kissing her face. He then stoped her.

Paul: “Cassie, it’s not that I don’t like you kisses and all, but it’s not right.”

Cassie: “What do you mean?”

Paul: “You still love Howie, I can feel it. I don’t want to be something to get your mind off of him. Besides I love Jenny.”

Cassie: “But Paul-”

Paul: “No buts. You know I’m right.”

Cassie: “Maybe, but then way did you (whispers) sleep with me?”

Paul: “You were in need of affection. Don’t deny it. I’m not syaing it didn’t mean anything, you were great, but we were both sort of out of it. Understand?”

Cassie: “Yeah.” She looked at the ring Howie had given her. “I got to go and see him.” She then got up and left the room.

* * *

Howie went upstairs and walked into Chris’ room.

Howie: “What the hell is all this comotion about?” Bernard turned around.

Bernard: “Howie my man! Long time no see!”

Howie: “What the fuck are you doing here?”

Bernard: “I’m taking over. Getting what I want. Her.”

Amanda had tears streaming down her face.

Howie: “Bernie, can I call you Bernie?”

Bernard: “No.”

Howie: “Berni... I’m having a real bad day. So why don’t you get your ass out of this house. Now.”

Bernard: “Dear Howie, what am I going to do with you?” He takes the gun away from Amanda’s head, and she ran over to Brian, who took her in his arms.

Brian: “Don’t do anything stupid Bernard!”

Bernard: “What? You mean like this?”

* * *

Cassie got into the house, and she called out to Howie. “Howie?” She walked slowly up the stairs. “Howie, we need to tal-” Her words were interrupted, by the sound of a gun going off.

* * *

Kevin: “Uh, Lisa? It’s time to go. Visiting hours areover.” Lisa got up.

Lisa: “Okay. Bye Dhanesh. Hope you get better soon.” She kissed him on the cheek. “Bye Paul!” She walked out of the door, with Kevin. Right then, Dhanesh and Paul started to talk.

Dhanesh: “Paul, I have a minor problem.”

Paul: “What is it?”

Dhanesh: “I think I love Lisa. I don’t know what to do. The only thing that’s stopping me is Nick.”

Paul: “Nick?!? God, you can take him in a second. He might be tall, but he’s weaker then a twig.” Paul went on about how he could possibly get rid of Nick, while Dhanesh simply thought of Lisa.

* * *

LISA

Cassie screamed, the sound of the gun echoed in the empty hallway. She ran upstairs to where the shot hadcome from. She froze in the doorway, she opened her mouth to scream again, but no sound came out. What she saw made her want to throw up (and she said she wanted to be a surgeon). There, sprawled across the bedroom floor, in a puddle of blood, was Howie.

* * *

Lisa got in the car next to Kevin. Her face was stillred from crying.

Kevin: “Are you okay Lis?”

Lisa: “Yeah, I am... Kev, does Nick love me?”

Kevin: “Of course, why wouldn’t he?”

Lisa: “It’s just that he seems to pity me, that’s all.”

Kevin: “Give me a break, you know he loves-” Lisa cut him off.

Lisa: “Did Dhanesh and Geri break up?”

Kevin: “I don’t know, why?”

Lisa: “I was just wondering...” Lisa turned her head away Kevin, and stared out the window. ‘Did Dhanesh really mean what he said? That she was more important then Geri???’

* * *

CAROLINE

After Cassie saw Howie she jumped on the gunmen (still not knowing who he was or what he wanted) and started hitting and kicking him. Brian jumped in to help her hen suddenly the gun went off, followed by a loud cream as Caroline fell to the floor. Nick quickly went to her side, while this was happened Brian grabbed Cassie off Bernard, and while they were fighting, Bernard fell out the window to his tragic (yeah right) death. Cassie had already rushed downstairs to untie Christine and call the ambulence.* * *
