Here's the next chapter, and it's a little shorter than usual but I wanted to leave it like this.
Zexar.
Now this I could get used to, waking up next to Carly on a Saturday morning after a long night talking to her. The smell of her hair is truly wonderful, and it stands out so much when I'm laying so close. Strawberries. The smell is so gorgeous, it fits her like a glove, so to speak. No matter what she's doing she's attractive, so attractive I find myself thinking I'm the luckiest person alive, which I am after the past week. I'm still in shock over what happened at the airport; I was so convinced I was leaving and then Carly turned up, just thinking about it puts a grin on my face. Then there was Monday, planting the Madagascan peach in Missy's bag and thinking I was going to get caught, and having doubts that I'd even remembered to put the peach in Missy's bag. I don't wanna wake her so I'll leave her in bed, but I need to go to the mall for some more jeans and shoes, so I'll just leave her a note.
''Carly, I've just gone to the mall for some clothes, I'll be back in a few hours. I love you, Aaron.''
Going down to the first floor I can hear Spencer's snoring from the bedroom as I grab a few slices of toast.
"Peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time", I start singing to myself as I spread peanut butter on the toast and add some jelly.
I sit down on the couch and hum along to the song 'Last Summer', before nearly choking as I laugh at the irony of when I'd sung it on iCarly. I leave the apartment after the toast, and head towards the mall, with no one in site.
Wow, either I can't tell the time anymore and it's quarter to two in the morning, or everyone's laying in today, even Lewbert's not up yet. Walking to the mall has been pretty peaceful so far, there's practically no one around, making it extremely quiet until my pear phone rings.
'I don't know what went wrong,
If I did wouldn't matter cause,
It just wasn't enough,
You know when the moment comes,
To be strong show resistance,
And that's what we're lead to believe'
"Hello?", I ask, genuinely unsure of who could be calling.
"Why didn't you wake me?", Carly replies, my Carly.
"I didn't wanna disturb you"
"Yeah but now you're going on your own"
"I only need to get some jeans and shoes"
"I know but I wish you'd told me"
"I don't mind, seriously it's-", I go to say before seeing three guys staring at me from ahead, all holding knives, "Shit, call the police Carly", I hear her say something but by this point I'm running too fast to care.
As I run the three guys start running too, following me where ever I go, so one things for sure, they want me dead. I keep my phone active so the police can hopefully triangulate my mobile if I escape, or even if I'm hurt. Holy shit why are they chasing me? Looking around I can see they're gaining on me, holy Christ. They're only a few meters away and enclosing, I'm so screwed. The chase has taken me way off course from the mall, not that I care, but I'm now heading towards and area of Seattle I don't know, and thanks to no one being around, I can't even get help.
"Stop running you runt", one of the bigger, fatter men shouts to me.
"So you can kill me? I don't think so", I yell back.
It seems like I have an advantage now, as their all bigger and fatter than I am, and I can run a long way when I'm in danger. Nevertheless I'm still scared shit-less, as I could easily be killed or seriously injured in this situation.
A pain half way up my back makes me fall forward, but I try and stay up nevertheless, but fail. Looking around at the men who are slowly, and mockingly, walking up to me, I realize the pain is from a knife one of them must have thrown at me.
"Holy shit", I mutter, really feeling the pain now.
"Nice shot Mark", one of them says to the fattest son a bitch there.
"Why are you doing this?", I ask, the pain apparent in my voice.
"Favor for a friend", the fat one, called Mark, tells me.
The one to the left of Mark is heading towards me slowly, with his knife held higher than before. I shout out as he shoves the knife into my left shoulder blade and leaves it there, making him laugh as he retreats. The last guy comes over and punches me in the face and kicks my stomach, whilst laughing at my weakening groans.
"See you in hell", the last guy says as he pummels his knife into my stomach, making me shout out again.
The three men run away as fast as their bulbous bodies allow them, leaving me here to die, in pain and bleeding. Carly must have called the police and an ambulance as siren's are wailing through the air but I think it's too late.
"Aaron, help is here", the familiar voice of Detective Chambers tells me, putting a hand on my unharmed shoulder.
"We're gunna need to get him to the hospital at once", a male voice shouted.
"His heart has stopped", a woman yells as I sway between consciousness.
"Okay, we're clear", the woman says, pressing a cold device on my chest.
Oh God that feels weird with the total body numbness, like a cold electric shock.
"Again, 3, 2, 1, we're clear"
There it goes again, this time it feels colder, like tap water cold.
"-Failed-Once-Clear", I hear someone say, only catching three words.
Oh Jesus, the third time it feels like ice, shocking through my veins and arteries, navigating the complex network within my body.
"We need-Hospital-Now", I hear, before nearly losing consciousness.
Everything is going white and I can see a single black silhouette walking towards me, until it calls my name and runs to where I'm laying, but now, everything is white, like a tunnel, and it's now I realize I'm dead.
There it is, the most evil chapter yet, including a death. Who did the guys kill Aaron for? And why? All will be explained, in a few chapters.
