A Single Death Note

by xXPeaceXx

Paul finds that everyone has the same Death Note book and decides to find out what it's all about. Why waste his life for this?

7. Chapter 7

Sorry for the shortness on ALL of the chapters. I'll try and make them longer but for now… I can't. I know this chapter might be a bit confusing but my friend gave the idea and it got stuck in my head. Sorry.

"So? Do you like it? Paul?" My parents are staring at me with wide eyes. I catch a glimpse of my face in the mirror. I look like I have just seen a ghost, and to be honest, right this second the death note is my definition of a ghost. "I…I love it…!" I stammer, " Thanks dad" I grab it and run up to my room. I slam the door and slump against it. The death note is flying in the air and is just about to hit the window when it stops in mid-air. I stare at it. I blink and look again. The death note is lying on the floor, not floating anymore. Once again I choke back a scream. I feel like… death. God, my life is rubbish.

I spend the rest of my evening avoiding my room. T.G.I.F… Not. At 11 pm my parents send me to bed. Like a five year old that's scared of monsters under their bed, im scared of a death note on the other side of my room. I don't sleep all night and in the morning I look and feel like shit. Literally. It's Saturday today. I was meant to go out with James but I don't want to now. I feel hes betraid me. I HATE HIM.

By 6 in the evening, my parents come home form work and find out that I have spent the whole day in my room. They get sooo angry I lock my door and they have to scream at me from the other side of it. I feel proud… but guilty. I have never been like this before. I guess its my dad's fault for buying the bloody death note. So why are they screaming at me?

I look for the death note an unlock my door. They barge in and say to me "PAUL!" "Yes mum?" "WHY AREN'T YOU USING THE DEATH NOTE YOUR-" She looks up and sees me with the death note. "Oh" she says quietly. They leave the room and I throw the book away again. But as it is floating, it disappears into thin air. I look for it, wondering where it is. The next thing I know, my dad is screaming his head off because he has found the death note with his name written in it.
