Today, I unveil a new story called "Love In Death". This story is deeper than the two stories I have made. This will explore a bit of life after death and it is quite the twist on everything. People will die, ghosts will appear and the paranormal becomes a real thing. I don't know if you people will enjoy it or not.
Anyways, read away.
Is This The End?
Date: Friday, November 8, 2019, 2:56 p.m.
The band is going on a break for two weeks and I am preparing for a special day for one of our members - Aiko Yumi. Her birthday is happening tomorrow and the rest are very excited for her. She will be turning 43! To see our girl grow into an amazing person is all we could ever hope for.
She doesn't seem too happy about it because to her, it feels like the same old regular day. No one usually celeberated her birthday when she was younger until she was 22. Back then, her parents usually bless her to have a lot of good luck in her life. They never made her a birthday cake so she could make a wish and blow out the candles.
However, it will be very different for her. She will get to have what was properly needed on a birthday. Aswad will be in charge of snacks and music, Aiman will be in charge of games, Lillian will be in charge of party decorations and I will make sure everything looks good.
Aiko needs to take a walk outside for a moment. She wants to clear her head of sad thoughts if she wants to have a real birthday.
Aiko: I'm gonna head outside for a while.
Farndee: Alright, but don't be out too long. We're gonna need your opinion on the decorations, too.
Aiko slightly nods and closes the door.
Aiko is walking away from our house and out into the streets, not even caring where she's going.
Aiko's thoughts: Get yourself together, Aiko! You need this, you want this, you deserve this. It's your special day! Your parents didn't throw you one, so your friends will do it. Because they care about you and they love you. Don't ruin this for yourself. And most importantly-
Suddenly, a guy, about 5 feet and 8 inches tall, stood right in front of her way and she bumps into him. This guy is wearing a purple flannel, blue ripped jeans, and has a few tattoos. His hair is brown and scruffy.
Unknown guy: Hey Aiko. Long time, no see, baby.
At some unknown time during the hiatus of the band, Aiko dated a guy, which only lasted for one year and then, they broke up. This guy didn't really take the breakup so well, as he emotionally hurt Aiko's feelings when he told her to "go drown in a lake and let the piranhas eat you".
She completely let this guy slip out of her mind after she was moving on from past lovers. She would never want to see any wrong person she has dated over the few years back. Memories like those will haunt her forever.
Unknown guy: Don't you know who I am? I'm Theodore. Theodore Goodwin?
Oh, she knows who he is, she just doesn't want to. Not after that heartbreaking insult.
Aiko: I know who you are. What the f**k are you doing here?!
Theodore: Just seeing my old girl again. Aren't YOU happy to see me?
Aiko: NO! Get away from me!
Theodore suddenly grabs Aiko by the right arm and cups her mouth, dragging her into a door leading to an abandoned-looking apartment just next to them. He opens a door that goes to a room filled with a lot of stolen items. He then closes the door behind him, locked it and kept the key in his pocket. Aiko had a feeling this guy is a thief, a murderer and a rapist. She wants to get out but the door is locked up tight, with no other way out.
Aiko: WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?! WHAT DO YOU WANT!?
Theodore: I want you to be my girlfriend again! Let's try again. From page one.
Aiko cannot believe what she is hearing right now. This guy kidnapped her, locked her in a room filled with so much money, just to ask her to be his girlfriend again? This person must be extremely psychotic to go to distances for that. Aiko had to get out if she wants to escape this insanity of a kidnap.
Aiko: LET ME OUT OF HERE BEFORE I CALL THE COPS!
Theodore: Do that and I will blow your head off!
The psychotic man pulled out a gun and pointed it at Aiko's head, threatening her to put the phone down. Aiko is scared at this point, but now, she is terrified after seeing a gun being pointed at her. She can't do anything. Until...
Aiko: I am not listening to you! I'm doing it! I never even liked you anyway. I love someone else, and he's better than you! So go ahead! KILL ME! Pull it! Shoot me! I don't care! Let's see if you even have the balls to do that!
Goodwin slowly put his gun down and then his head. He felt destroyed by Aiko's mustered up courageous words. This only built up his anger from inside.
Aiko: Give me the keys! Let me out of here! I have a special day happening tomorrow.
Goodwin gives her his keys in a form of surrender. However, Aiko finds this suspicious; no person with a gun would give up the tool to unlock a door to any ordinary person. Nonetheless, she unlocked the door to make her escape.
As soon as she stepped out of the building...
*BANG!*
...Goodwin ran after her and pulled the trigger on her! Aiko's eyes widen as she feels a bullet enter her. She falls hard onto the floor, blood leaking from her back and struggling to take a few last breaths before sadly dying. The last thing she could see was a police car driving by and stopping to arrest the psycho.
Aiman sees a breaking news on TV. The rest, including myself, are joining him to see this.
"A man has shot and killed a Japanese woman outside of his apartment. He is being arrested on the spot and will be taken to court in a few days. The woman killed was later identified as guitarist Aiko Yumi from the band Clueless Emotions. It is said that Mrs. Yumi's birthday was taking place tomorrow on November 9-"
I teared up on hearing this. I got out of the sofa and went outside to find Aiko, only for the news to be true, saying she died. I pushed a few paramedics aside to see her.
Farndee: GET OUT OF THE WAY! GET OUT OF THE WAY!
Paramedic: Sir, please step back!
Farndee: SHE'S MY WIFE! I NEED TO SEE HER! PLEASE!
The paramedics stopped resisting me and let me pass. I looked at Aiko's lifeless face and teared up even more. The sight scars me a lot, and it has left a broken piece of my heart.
I fall to my knees and continued to look at Aiko with grief.
Farndee: (whispers) I'm sorry. I'm extremely sorry for whoever did this to you. I wish I was there with you! I wish I could've protected you. I hope you can hear me somewhere because I will always love you and I still do...
It is now time for me to leave because the paramedics are taking away her body. They are taking out a body bag, placing her in there and put her on the gurney. I watch the whole thing happening in front of me.
A few hours later, I see a few undertakers burying bodies in a nearby cemetery. One of the bodies was Aiko's. The paramedics made a deal with one of them to bury her. I rushed over there and made a request.
Farndee: That body you're gonna bury. I wanna do it.
Undertaker: No. You can't do that. You don't how to do it properly.
My tone is now angry and sad at the same time.
Farndee: Just let me do it. That body was my wife. Don't make this any harder for me. She meant a lot to me. And now, I lost her. She's not here anymore. Could I just bury her?
The undertaker makes his decision and decides to let me bury her. But before that, he gave me a coat and a hat so I could look like a proper worker for this job, as well as a shovel.
Undertaker: Here you go, sir. All the stuff you need. And... I'm sorry for your loss.
With the shovel in hand, I bury Aiko, scoop by scoop and dirt by dirt. Every memory I made with Aiko in our love and the band is crumbling apart and breaking into millions of pieces. We could've made more memories. I've seen it all in my head. Just picturing us getting away from all our troubles and finding peace. It can only be made by wish and not by hope to this point.
With the last of the dirt, Aiko is now buried. I placed a tombstone on her grave to always remember her.

As I am walking away, I talked to one of the men.
Farndee: Do you have my wife's wedding ring?
Undertaker: No. We didn't take it off. It is still with her.
Farndee: Really?
Undertaker: I apologize. I can unearth the body and get it.
I protest against this.
Farndee: No, no, no. It's okay. I didn't need it. As long as it is with her, there is always proof that I was married to someone.
The undertaker nods goodbye as I walk away and back home. The feeling of losing a loved one is beyond sad and broken. I am sure the remaining members are devastated about her passing. I can only imagine what they are going through.
Aiko's birthday was suppose to be tomorrow, but it looks like we are attending her funeral AND celebrating her birthday.
The End.
So, how sad was that? Aiko Yumi gets killed and the band is scarred for life by this tragic event. They lost a good friend and now, it is a part of them. This story was inspired by the horrible events that happened throughout 2016.
If you have any suggestions on whether I should continue this or not, please let me know. I will be all ears and ready. I will take your requests, too.
