Chase and Trevor had been very happy together over the last six weeks. They'd been dating for almost three months at this point. Whenever Pam had to work nights Trevor would sneak over to Chase's house. Sometimes they would have sex and sometimes they would just sleep. Christmas was in three weeks. The drama club was putting on A Christmas Carol. Chase was playing Mrs. Scrooge. She was doing a rehearsal in the auditorium before lunch. The teacher had just said cut. Trevor got up on stage.
"That was great." He said. "I can't wait to see the play." They kissed. "Ready for lunch?"
"Yeah, I'm starving."
"Me to."
They went to the cafeteria.
"Honey can you get me a slice of pepperoni pizza and a Coke?" Chase asked. "I have to give Angela some history notes."
"You got it." He went to go get it.
Chase went over to Angela and Randy's table.
"Here are the notes." Chase said handing them to Angela.
"Thanks."
"Hi Chase." Randy said.
"Hi Randy."
The next evening Chase and Trevor were at her house, in the kitchen studying for an algebra test. Trevor wouldn't stop kissing the side of Chase's neck.
"Honey, stop it." She said smiling.
"Come on baby."
After we're done she turned to him.
"What did you want earlier?" She asked smiling. He grinned. They went upstairs to her bedroom. As they went into her bedroom she took off her glasses and shirt, sitting on the edge of the bed. He took off his shirt and they kissed laying back on the bed. He looked down at her.
"I love you Chase." He said.
She smiled, that being the first time he'd said that to her. "I love you too Trevor." They kissed.
That Saturday night Chase was closing up the diner. She normally closed with another person but they'd went home sick earlier that night. She'd just opened the the register to count the money when she heard the door open.
"We're closed." She heard footsteps come up to the counter. She looked up to see a tall, skinny man dressed in all black and wearing a black ski mask. He was holding a knife with a six inch blade.
"Give me all the money in the register." He demanded.
"Ok." She said terrified. She gave him the money. "Please don't hurt me."
"Where's the safe?"
"In the back but I don't know how to open it." "Only the manager does and she's not here."
He jumped over the counter. "Don't lie to me!" He yelled.
"I'm not."
"Stupid bitch!" He stabbed her in the stomach. She immediately dropped to the ground. He knelt down, pulled her head back and slit her throat. She stopped moving after that. After going to the back and trying for several minutes to get the safe open unsuccessfully, he ran out leaving Chase for dead.
