Chapter3. The Offer.

Last night had been amazing. Well in my dreams at least. Yes I sang a song to Alice and yes she loved it. But, it still wasn't as good as my dream.

We were walking on a beach as the sun was setting. I took her in my grasp and-

Please don't say anymore!! I'm begging! I don't think my mind can register so much sex!! And it was only a dream!!

I don't really give a fuck. And it wasn't just sex! It was like, making love to a maniac, a sex machine! It was the best fucking sex I have ever had!!

Uhh, Jasper?

What?

Umm, sorry to tell you, but, uhh, your still a virgin.

I know, I know. But that's only a matter of time. You see, here's my plain. I got and sweep Alice off her feet and into my arms. And then-

And then what? You go get married and have a happily ever after?

Uhh, that was my plain.

Well Jasper, news's flash. It's not gonna' happen okay? Your not gonna' sweep her off her feet or marry her, your not gonna' get a happily ever after. Your life is over!! Deal with it.

What the fuck is your problem?

What's my problem? My problem is that I know you. And you wouldn't survive another heartbreak. Jasper after what happened to Katie-

Don't ever say her name!! NEVER!!

Jasper!! You'll have to deal with it sooner or later!! And if you really want to treat

Alice right, you want put her through what you've gone through. Jasper, don't hurt her. You can't survive it.

I-I, fuck you!! You don't know anything about me!!!

Jasper, I am you!

No, no your not!! Your, your devil sent from Satin!! You, you evil, EVIL BUSTARD!!!! I hope you burn in hell.

I hadn't realized the hot moisture streaming down my cheeks. I hadn't cried since, since Katie, Ka-t-tie-e di-dd-ied.

My throat closed up just at the thought of her name. Memories flashed through my mind. None of the memories were peaceful ones. They were memories of that dreadful night, that night that had and still will haunt me until the end of time.

(Flash Back)

'Jazz, calm down' she attempted to stifle her giggles, she did a dreadful job. I smiled down at her. Her face was glowing. She beamed back up toward me. Her gaze shifted from mine, until they court on something behind me. I heard a branch snap. In that second I was in front of Katie facing the intruder. I stifled a gasp as I saw a shape in the shadows. I blinked backward to Katie, but instead of seeing just her little terrified face, I saw 3 more shapes. We were surrounded. I heard the click of the gun. My face was now streaming in terrified tears; my vision was blurry and hazy. I didn't register what the men said, but I did what they said in a daze.

In those minuets or maybe even hours, they did terrible things to Katie. They made me watch as every single one raped her. They did more than that. They hit and beat her, right in front of me. But I couldn't help her. I just had to watch everything they did. I kept screaming at them and pleading them to stop and just take my money or whatever they wanted. I begged them to let her go. Finally as my voice grew worse from the screeches and screams. They stopped abusing her. I felt a wash a relief that was admittedly smashed away with fear. They had left her, but only to point the gun at her head. I started to scream at them to take me instead, but his only response was:

'Do you love her' he asked this in pure curiosity. But kept his voice blank.

I chocked out my answer, 'yes, p-ples-se, please d-d-don't hurt-t her-er, p-please' I begged them. He just gave me the most cruel and disgusting smirk.

'You don't love her enough to save her do you?' I felt like screaming insults at him and smashing his fucking face in! But to men restrained me.

'I do!! I do love her enough!! Just please stop!!' my voice come out in a hoarsely rasp. His smirk turned into a deadly grin.

'Obviously not enough' the gun shot rang through the air. It all went in slow motion. I saw the bullet flying toward her chest, I heard the sound of the connection and I saw her face twist in pain. Before the men could brace themselves I was out of the grasps and at Katie's side. I tried 2 put pressure against her wound, but it was too late she had lost to much blood her last words to me were ones I wish I could have done for her.

'Jazz, its okay, be the man I know you are. Find another love, never give up hope Jazz, and never forget me. I love you Jazz, forever and always' her voice turned into a whisper at the last part. I looked into her sparkling eyes before they went dull and dead for ever.

I felt a fresh wave of tears pour onto my face; I had to get out of here. I raced out the door and into my car. My eyes still pouring with tears. I speed down the streets until I reached the diner. I found an empty booth at the back of the diner. I ordered a piece of pizza. As I took the first bite, a older man probably about 17 come and sat next to me. I wiped my eyes. And tried to act normal, he saw straight past it.

'Your Katie's boy friend, right?, I mean you were Katie's boy friend' his voice sounded as concerned and apologetic as his face.

'Umm, yes' my voice come out in a quick squeak.

'Listen, I've got an offer, I know who killed your girl friend. And me and the gang are gonna' go fight them. And when I say fight, I mean gins and knives, are you in? coz' if you are we gotta' teach you to fight' his voice sounded concerned and apologetic but also it had a tinge of dispersion in it. I took a deep shaky breath and looked into his eyes, the emotions didn't quiet reach his eyes. Something told me this was a bad idea but I acted on impulse.

'I'm in' I said this with fierce determination. I wasn't gonna' let him live after what he did to Katie. I wouldn't let him see day again.
