Host: Love is a very powerful thing. Brenda and John have been together for a while now but their love is about to be put to the ultimate test.
The Power of Love
Brenda and John were the closest couple anyone knew and they were only 17. They spent every second they could together in school and outside of school doing what every couple did. This particular night was special because it was their six month anniversary . John showed up at the movie theatre before Brenda. He had the perfect plan. He was taking her to the movie, then dinner, and dancing. Brenda only thought they were going to a movie and he knew she was a little disappointed because of that. He couldn't wait to surprise her but one hour passed and then another and Brenda still hadn't shown up. John was getting very concerned Brenda was never late and he knew that she'd call if she was. She also knew he hated being stood up. It's why he had broken up with his last girlfriend Sheila. Although, if he was honest with himself it wasn't the only reason. She was also extremely jealous and protective of their relationship. On top of that she was also a snobby, self centered, rich daddy's girl who got anything she wanted and that made him sick to think about. After a while he decided to go find Brenda. He walked towards her house and when he got there he saw the police surrounding the place. He went up to one of the officers to find out what had happened. "Excuse me? What's going on here?" asked John
"A young lady was stabbed. We don't know anything aside from that." Said the officer
John got closer to the scene and saw Brenda was the one of the ground "Brenda!"
"You know her?" asked the officer
"Yes, she's my girlfriend. She was supposed me meet me three hours ago for a date and never showed up. I guess, I know why now." Said John
"I'm sorry for your loss. We will do everything we can to find out who did this but honestly with no witnesses it's going to be very difficult." Said the officer
John nodded and went home. He had no idea what to do. He just wished someone could tell him something. Suddenly, the phone rang. "Hello?"
"John." Said the voice on the other end
"Brenda?" asked John who was very confused
"She killed me, John." Said Brenda
"She? Who is she?" asked John
"Sheila. " said Brenda
"Sheila? My ex Sheila? She always was jealous of us and when we broke up she said she'd get back at me any way she could. Don't worry, Brenda. I'll take care of this." Said John.
John called the police and let them know what happened. Sheila was arrested and confessed to the entire thing. A few months later John met another girl. In an odd coincidence her name was Brenda and she looked just like the Brenda he lost. So, on their six month anniversary he took her to a movie, dinner, and then dancing.
The End
Host: What really happened here? Did Brenda really reach John from beyond the grave? Perhaps the lines of the phone were crossed and it was another Brenda trying to reach another John? Then how do you explain Sheila's confession? Is this story of a phone call from beyond true or did a writer just phone this in?
