Summary: Will is a normal teenage boy in England. Chris is one hell of a singer, famous all over the world. Does it make sence that a normal teen boy has no idea who is the biggest hit on the list? Does it make sence that they are attracted to eachother? I dunno. Read and find out. (And write me a line or two, it makes me all tingly with joy)
Authors note: I dunno if this will be accepted by you guys. I got really inspired to write my own story about "Gravitation" and this was what came out of it. I know it's not about the characters from "Gravitation" but there could be some similarity. Also XXX equals day or days later. xxx equals hours or minutes later.
Forgive and move on
For the rest of the week, Will didn't hear a word from Chris. And he wasn't surprised either.
He wouldn't have called himself if he was Chris.
It was Saturday and Will was rehearsing with Greg and Sean.
Anthony sat in a chair, reading a book as usual.
"Will, you heard anything from Chris yet?" he wondered without looking up from his book.
Greg looked up from his keyboard.
"Yeah. I heard what happened from Lilly. Are you okay, man?"
Will nodded and stood up with a big smile.
"I'm fine, guys! Perfectly fine. I promise."
He left to the door.
"Gotta go to the bathroom." he said cheerfully.
As the door closed, Sean got up and left the room.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Will sat on the toilet with his face in his hands. He cursed himself as tears started running down his cheeks.
Sean stood outside the door and heard him cry. He didn't look happy at all. He touched the door.
"I'm so sorry for you, William." he whispered.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Someone was knocking on the door in Chris's apartment.
He opened and there stood Sean.
"Well, well. If it isn't Sean, Will's best friend? What are you doing here? You gonna tell me to lay off your Will?"
Sean looked straight at him and shook his head.
"I just want him to be happy. And I know you're the one who can make him happy, mate. But for now…I've got something to tell you…"
Chris remained quiet.
"About Will…"
At the name, he reacted. Stepping aside, he gesture to Sean.
"Come on in."
Ten minutes later they were both sitting in Chris' sofa with two cups of coffee.
"So….He's sad?"
Sean nodded and Chris looked like it didn't bother him at all.
He took another sip of coffee and closed his eyes.
"Aren't ya gonna do anything about it!?" Sean exclaimed.
Chris sighed.
"Well….I dunno…Maybe I will…Maybe I won't…."
Sean got up.
"You're playing with his heart, here, dude! And I'm not gonna let you do whatever you want to, with him! Do you understand?"
Chris smiled with scary eyes.
"Sure I do…You want him to yourself…You're jealous of me and you wish you could have him, am I right?"
Sean blushed.
"No…That's not right at all…I want his twin sister, not him."
"Mhm…And while she's gone, you use him as a replacement. Is that correct?"
Sean looked angry now and put the cup down at the table. Hard.
"No! That's not it at all! You don't know the half of it!"
Chris looked calm as he put his own cup down.
"Well….Tell me about it, then."
Sean sat down again.
"Well….She's just so wonderful….And the thing is….She looks just like him….It's weird, y´know….And whenever she comes to visit just to leaves again…I just…miss her so much that…"
"You can't help feel things for Will, right?"
Sean sighed and nodded.
"So in a way….you're right. I am using him as a replacement for his sister. But that's not the thing now. Will's really sad. And the reason is you. He…feels things, mate. Things that he never felt for anyone except his mother and sisters. He's crying for you, man."
Chris looked away.
"A lot of people cry because of me."
"Yeah, yeah! But now he cries because he thinks he did something wrong. And he's not even jealous of that woman."
"Wait just one second, now. That woman is no girlfriend. She's just a….family member…."
"What kind of family member? Fiancé?"
Chris smiled coldly at him,
"No, definitely not a fiancé. She's just a family member. Not important."
Sean nodded again.
"Well, about Will….What're you gonna do about it?"
Chris sat quiet. Sean looked into his eyes with the same intense he used when he was fighting.
"I'm telling you right now, mate! If he ever cries for anything but from his own naive stupidity, I´ll never forgive you. Do you understand?"
Chris looked at him with empty eyes.
"Will's deep about this, mate. It's not something that you see every day. He's stuck to you now. And you can't just push him away. If you love him even half as much as I love his sister, then you know what you have in him, too."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Will was leaning over the fence on a bridge. His tears were still running down his cheek and he closed his eyes.
"Hey, kiddo."
He looked up as if a gun was fired at him.
Chris came walking towards him with another cigarette in his mouth.
He stopped right next to Will.
"That woman. She's nothing, y´know. Compared to you."
Will looked at him with wide open eyes. Chris blew out smoke before putting the cigarette out.
"Well, that's the best apologise you get from me. So…."
Will interrupted him by throwing himself in his arms.
Chris stood, confused for a few seconds. Then he put his arms around the younger boy.
"I'm sorry, Will…I'm so sorry…"
Will sobbed and cried on his shirt.
He shook his head and lifted his face against his own.
"You hear me, William? I'm sorry…."
They both stood in the night, only thing heard was Will sobbing quietly.
Suddenly, Chris startet talking again.
"So….how about that date I promised ya?"
Will was just about to answer when Chris leaned forward and kissed him deeply.
"So…how about that date…?" he repeated in a slow whisper.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Will and Chris sat in McDonalds eating hamburgers.
Will wouldn't stop smiling as he drank his milkshake.
Suddenly, someone petted his shoulder and he turned around. A little girl looked at him with red cheeks.
"Excuse me, but aren't you Will Underwood?" she wondered.
"Ehhm…Yeah…So?"
He could actually see her shining from inside as her face lit up and her eyes widened.
"I saw you in the last race and I just loved you. You're so great."
"Ehm…Thanks…But I'm a little…"
"Can I just have your autograph?" she held out a writing book and a pen.
"Ehhmmm….Sure…why not…What's your name?"
"Claire."
"Okay, Claire."
He took her note-book and wrote down his name.
"There you go."
"Oh, thank you, Will!"
She glanced over at Chris and if it was possible, her eyes widened even more.
"Isn't that Chris Turner? Oh, can I have your autograph, too?"
Chris sighed and wrote his name in the book.
"Thank you!" she called out as she ran away.
"Wont take long untill the rest of the little girls finds us." Chris said.
Will looked at him.
"What? Eleven-year-olds talk a lot."
He smiled.
"Yeah, but she was so damn cute, don't you think?"
Will smiled again and ate the rest of his hamburger.
He looked at Chris, who were looking around in the McDonalds. He looked like he expected someone to shoot at him any second.
"Chris?"
He jumped in his seat.
"Wha?...What?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Chris looked down at his hamburger.
"Nothing, just had a feeling that…Nah, it was nothing."
He smiled at Will and assured him everything was okay.
Will got all tingly when Chris smiled at him and smiled back.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Later, Will stepped into his bedroom with a glittery smile on his face.
Lilly looked up at him.
"What're you smilin about, brother?" she wondered.
He laughed.
"Isn't life just a wonderful thing?"
She smiled.
"Yeah…I guess it is…"
The door opened and Will's foster mother looked inside.
"Hey, sweetie. There is someone on the phone for you."
Will nodded.
"I´ll take it in here, Mary. Thank you."
She smiled and nodded before she left.
"Why don't you ever call her 'motser' ?" Lilly wanted to know.
He sighed and picked up the phone.
"For the same reason you don't call her that."
He put the phone next to his ear and a familiar voice said.
"Call who what?"
"Chris? What are you?…When did you?…Hi…"
Chris chuckled in the other line.
"A nice way to say hello. Your friend gave me your number."
"My…My friend?"
"The tall one."
"Sean gave you my home number? Well….What do you want? We just said goodbye an hour ago. I mean, I don't mind you calling me, but…"
Chris laughed again and Will looked dreamy when he heard the sound.
"When's your next vacation?"
"T-this weekend. Why?"
"Hmm…Wanna go somewhere? You know…Just you and me?"
Will jumped. He nodded like a mad man.
"Yes! Yeah! I would love that! Yes! Absolutely! Yes! When do we go?"
Once again, Chris chuckled.
"Well…Tomorrow? How about it?"
"Yeah! That sounds great, Chris! What time should I come? Twelve?"
"Naah…I´ll pick ya up at ten, okay?"
"Okay. See you then." Will hung up.
Lilly stared at him.
"Where are you going?"
"Oh, nowhere. Don't put your mind into it, Lilly."
She nodded and kept reading her book.
"Fine. Keep secrets from me. I'm keeping secrets from you, too."
"You do that, sister dear."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Next morning Will was running around in the house like a crazy person.
Mary stood by the stove cooking breakfast.
"Where is my bag?" he asked.
"In your hand, dear." she smiled.
He looked down and saw the bag.
"Oh, sorry. Thanks!" he ran upstairs again.
Chris came in through the kitchen door and Mary turned around.
"Hello, Mrs Underwood. Your husband told me I could go in this way. I hope it's not too much trouble."
She smiled and continued with what she was doing.
"Oh, not at all, dear."
"My name is Chris Turner, Mrs Underwood. I'm Will's friend."
She smiled at him over her shoulder.
"He has been talking so much about you. It's all been 'Chris this!' and 'Chris that!'"
He smiled and sat down by the table.
"Coffee, dear?" Mary wondered.
He nodded again.
"Yes, ma'am."
Lilly walked into the kitchen in her bath robe.
"Mary, where's my pant's?"
"In the washer, sweetheart."
"But I need those pant's today!"
"Take Will's."
"Oh, okay." and with that, she left the kitchen.
She hadn't even noticed Chris.
Mary put a cup of coffee on the table and he drank it.
"Wonderful. What's your secret?"
"Cinnamon, dear. Just a little cinnamon and it tastes like Christmas."
He nodded and drank again while answering Mary's questions.
They both stopped talking when they heard how the twins fought in the hall.
"Those are my pant's, Lilly!"
"Mary said I could have them!"
"Well, you can't! I need them today!"
"What for?!"
"Cause Chris is commin and my butt looks really cute in these!"
"So does mine, brother dearest!"
Mary shook her head.
"He's been really fond of his looks since a couple of weeks ago. I think you're a really good judgment for him."
She whiped her hands on her apron and turned around.
"Maybe you know for whom he is dressing so nicely?" she asked with a knowing smile.
"Well….ehm…I…"
She laughed.
"It's alright, dear. I know what is going on with Will. He's in love. Man or woman does not matter. But I hope you'll be careful with him, Chris. Even though he acts like he can take everything, Will is very fragile."
He smiled.
"Believe me. I couldn't be mean even if I wanted too. He's too good to be true, ma'am."
She nodded.
"Yes….I know that."
Suddenly, Will came out in the kitchen. Wearing nothing but a white towel.
"Mary! Lilly won't give me my pant's! Tell her!"
"I told her she could have them today, dear."
"But those are my pant's…Mom gave them to me!"
"But sweetheart…."
"No! They're mine! Tell her to give them to me!"
Suddenly, Lilly came in.
"That's not true! Just because she happened to ask you if they fitted you, doesn't mean they're yours!"
"They're too, mine! She gave them to me!"
"No, she didn't!"
"Yes, she did!"
"No, she didn't!"
"Yes, she did!"
"Children, children! Stop this immediately!"
They looked up at her.
"But-"
"But-"
"No 'buts'. Lilly, give Will the jeans. And then go and pick out another pair in his closet. Then, you'll both eat breakfast and get along. Is that understood?"
They nodded and Mary and Lilly left the kitchen.
Will glanced over at the kitchen table. When he saw Chris, his eyes widened.
"Chris? When did you?…"
Chris smirked and nodded at the towel.
"Nice."
Will blushed and tried to hide his face with nothing.
"Let me just….go and change…I´ll be down in ten minutes, okay?"
"Yeah. Wear those cute jeans that makes your butt look cute." Chris teased him.
Will blushed even harder and left the kitchen.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Twenty minutes later Will stood in the kitchen with a sports bag. Not huge, but still big.
Chris opened the trunk and put the bag in.
Will jumped into the front seat.
"Oh, and Chris, dear. Please look after Will for me. Don't let him sneak away and enter a car race, or something."
"Will do, ma'am." Chris smiled.
"Mary! Where's my sunglasses?" Will called out.
"In your pocket, dear."
"Oh, thanks!" Will called out again before they drove away.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Next thing he knew, they were out of the city.
A long way out.
"Ehhmm…Chris…Exactly where are we going?"
Chris smiled from his seat.
"Don't you trust me, kiddo?"
"Well…yeah, I do…but…Ah, never mind."
And they kept driving for hours. Sometimes they stopped for food and gas and other stuff.
It seemed to Will like they would never get there.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
By the night, they stopped in front of a very big house.
Big like a palace.
As they got their bags out of the trunk, a man came out.
"Welcome, welcome. Are you Mr Turner?"
Chris nodded.
"Good. I have your rooms ready, Mr Turner."
"Thanks."
They followed the man into the house and through some very long corridors.
The man opened a door and they entered a huge room with a great bed that looked like it was from the 1500:th century.
Very nice and antic looking.
"This was Lady Susannah´s room."
"Lady Susannah?" Will repeated.
The man nodded.
"This will become your room, boy. Now, Mr Turner…Your room is right across the hall. Come with me please."
Chris and the man left the room.
He stood there. Speachless.
This room was awesome. So cool and so very beautiful.
He unpacked.
Was this what Chris wanted? A vacation with him in separate rooms? How rude.
But still, very sweet.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Later that night, he knocked on Chris's door.
"Come in."
He entered.
"Hey, kiddo. Enjoying the room?"
Will smiled and nodded.
"Mhm. Yeah, I do."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They now sat in front of the fireplace in Chris's room.
"Do you know who Lady Susannah was?"
"Hmm…Actually yeah, I do…."
"So? Tell me, tell me."
He smiled at the younger boy.
"Well…."
"No, no, Sean! It's supposed to be over there! Believe me! Sharing a room with my brother for almost my entire life gives you a lesson to where you should put your stuff!"
They looked at each other.
"What tha…." Will said and rose up.
The two of them went out on the great hall.
Will gasped for air in panic.
"Oh, my Goodness! Lilly!" he exclaimed.
The girl turned around.
"Will!?"
"What are you!?"
"When did you!?"
"How did you!?"
Chris looked at the boys behind Lilly.
There stood Sean, Greg and Anthony.
"Whao….It never came to my mind that you would actually take my advice at this place." Sean said.
Lilly turned around and glared at him.
"You knew about this?"
"Well, doll. I didn't know they would go here. So I took a chance."
Greg and Anthony looked happy.
"So, Will. Looks like we get to spend the holiday together!" Greg outbursted.
Will didn't smile at all.
"Well, wo-hoo for you…." he sighed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They were sitting in front of the fireplace in the great hall.
"So, what do you guys think about the weird owner?" Will wondered.
"You mean that he talked ´bout some old lady called Susannah?" Sean nodded.
Lilly laughed.
"Oh, come on! You don't actually believe that there was a Lady living at this dump once, do you?"
"Well, Chris knows the story." Will told them.
They all looked at Chris.
"Tell us everything you know." Andrew said with a smile.
Chris sighed and looked into the fireplace whilst lighting a cigarette.
"Okay."
He started.
"About a hundred years ago, there was a great Lady called Susannah. She lived in a great palace far, far away."
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
They could see it in front of them.
A great garden where a beautiful girl walked around.
"But Susannah was very alone, for her fiancé had gone into war, but had promised to be back.
She waited and waited for years, for her great hero to return to her. Just as beautiful as the letters she received."
They could se her picking up letters she had resaved from her love.
"My lovely Susannah. I will return to you as soon as i can."
"My beloved. I cannot return to you yet. But the thought of you and your lovely eyes keeps me up every day."
She looked sad now, the great Lady.
"Oh, my love. The wars I've fought for you. The things I've seen. It can drive a mortal man insane. But your eyes in the darkness helps me keep my sanity."
The next scene, they saw her sitting by a desk in a dark room with only a single candle next to the paper. She wrote a letter to her beloved, while tears were running down her cheeks.
Next thing they knew, they saw a man in a camp reading a letter. Her letter to him. He looked hart-broken and sank to his knees and cried.
"My dearest Edward. I'm afraid I cannot wait for you anymore.
I have moved on, my love. And I am marrying Lord Nicholas.
If you still wish to meet me, I´ll be at the cabins where we first saw each other.
Yours always, but not eternally, Susannah."
They looked at each other.
"And the place where they first met, was right here?" Greg wondered.
"Shut up! What happened then, Chris?" Lilly wanted to know.
"She came here. She met up with him. He killed her on the cliff so she fell off the edge and drowned. Then, he got to her room and shot himself." he said and drew his hand through his hair.
"Thanks a lot, Chris. I'm sleeping in that room tonight." Will sighed.
"And did you hear? They say she hunts the place, cause she was never forgiven. At least, the ownes says so." Sean smiled.
"Oh, please. What a load of shit." Lilly laughed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They were walking through the corridor on their way to the dining room.
Suddenly, Lilly stopped.
"Hey. Who're the people on the paintings?" she asked the man who was leading the way.
They all stopped and looked at several paintings.
The man pointed on one of the paintings. One of an old man, his wife and children.
"That was the first owner of these lands, the cabins and this hotel. He had this painted of himself and his family."
Then, he pointed at a portrait of a beautiful woman. She had long, light brown hair and dark eyes.
-"hat is one of the first owners regular guests. She died very young at this very hotel so he had a portrait made in her honor."
"Is that Lady Susannah?" Sean asked.
The man nodded.
"Waow! She totally looks like Will and Lilly." Anthony said.
Will stood in front of Chris. He put his arms around himself, shivering. Even though the woman on the painting looked like the nicest girl in the world, it freaked him out.
"The resemblance is incredible." Chris said and put his arms around Will's waist.
Blushing, Will got even closer to him.
"Yeah? Well, check this out, then." Sean called out.
They looked at another portrait.
The man walked over to Sean.
"This man actually died the same night as Lady Susannah. He was a very brave warrior."
"What was his name?"
"Edward. He was Lady Susannah's lover."
Edward was dressed in his soldier suit. His hair was dark and his eyes ice-blue.
But they had a warm twinkle and had a gentle shine over them.
"It kind of looks like Chris, don't you think?" Anthony said.
Will objected, so loudly that Chris let go of him as the attention was directed their way.
"No it doesn't! Chris' eyes are much sexier!"
Silence echoe in the hall and he quickly added.
"I m-mean, they're not alike at all!" Will stumbled over his words.
"Hah! You guys don't actually think your relationship is a secret, do you?" Lilly laughed.
Will blushed and the twins started arguing as they walked on.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Will woke up and looked at the watch. It was two in the morning.
"Dammit. Gotta go bathroom…" he yawned as he got up and out into the corridor.
He was dressed in his jammy that was dark blue with yellow stars on.
He yawned again and scratched his head. Suddenly, he saw someone walk in the end of the corridor.
One of the guest's teenage girls.
"Hello? Excuse me, but do you know where the bathroom is? Helloooo…Lady?..."
She didn't answer. She was heading outside.
"Yo. Why are you going out in yout nightgown? Hey, wait up."
He followed her.
She was walking like she was hypnotised.
She went out on a huge cliff. There stood a man.
It was Anthony.
Will just stared at them, and they didn't seem to notice him.
"Why have you called me out at this hour, Edward?" she asked with steal in her voice.
"It was not I who betrayed the other."
"I have no idea what you are talking about."
"No? Then how can you explain that I have been waiting for ten years to return to you!? Just so you can say that you don't love me!?"
Will gasped. There was that freakishy feeling again. And they talked so wierd. Like old fashioned english.
And neither of them seemed to be themselves. And why the hell did the chick call him Edward?
The girl backed away.
"The reason is, I do not. I do not love you any more, Edward. We cannot be together anymore."
She turned away from him.
"No! I will not let you do that to us!"
She turned back and gasped when she saw him hold a gun.
Will gasped again. Where the hell did he get that from? It wasn't there a second ago.
The girl backed against the edge.
"Edward! What are you…"
"If I cannot have you in life, then I shall have you in death!" he called out and shot her.
She fell.
Will ran to the edge, caught her hand and tried to pull her up.
"Anthony, will you give me a hand?" he screamed over his shoulder.
He saw Anthony walking back to the hotel.
"Dammit! Get up here, girl!" he hissed as he dragged her up and started running to the house with her in his arms.
He put her on the couch and started looking.
He knocked on the guys room and Greg opened.
"Hey, pal. What's up?" he said and rubbed his tired eyes.
"Have you seen Anthony?"
"No. Why?"
"Wait!" someone shouted from upstairs.
They heard gun shoot of. And it came from Will's room.
"Oh, my god! Was that…a gunshot?" Greg gasped.
"Come on!"
They ran.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When they came into Will's room, they saw Anthony lying on the floor, shaking.
"My head…Hurt's so much…" he whispered.
Will saw Chris skneeling next to him.
"Chris, you alright?" Will asked.
He nodded.
"I passed your room and noticed the door was open. I saw him in here with a gun towards his head. But now, it's gone."
"What is gone?" Will wondered and kneeled next to Anthony.
"The gun... it's gone. It just disappeared like it had never been here."
Lilly and the others came in.
"What the hell happened? A girl's sitting in the sofa, shaking like a leaf."
"I think the owner was right about the Lady and the soldier haunting this place…"
They looked at Will.
"What?" Sean wondered.
"Remember the story about Lady Susannah and her lover Edward? I think they're really haunting the hotel. And I think we somehow caused their awakening." Will sighed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next day they were all out on a picnic.
Chris sat with Will under a tree and on top of a hill sat the others.
"Is your friend okay now?"
Will nodded and leaned against the tree.
"Yeah. He's fine. A little dizzy, but fine. Thank God nothin bad happened."
Chris smiled and sat up.
"That's typical for you. Always worried for everybody else. Now you should worry about yourself…"
"What about me?"
"Worry about….how far I´ll go tonight." he whispered and kissed him.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lilly sat next to Greg and smiled against the boys.
"Can you pass the bread, Anthony?" she wondered.
He didn't react. He was eating a huge sandwich.
"Heh…Almost dying must give you appetite. Right, Anthony?" Greg said with a teasing smile.
"Shut up, guys. The thing the other night. It was just something that didn't happen, okay?" he sneezed.
"Whatever." Lilly mumbled and leaned over to take the bread.
Her shirt slid up and her well trained belly were right next to Sean's face.
He swallowed his breath and blushed.
"Lilly, why can't you be more like your brother?" Greg said and pointed.
They all looked in Will and Chris' direction.
They were kissing passionately.
"Yo! Get a room!" Anthony called out.
The guys looked up at them.
"Mind your own buisness, perverts!" Will called back with a big smile.
"Well you….Darn it!"
Will laughed, got up and walked up to them.
As he sat down, he took place next to Sean.
"Keep your eyes off my sister, Seanie-boy." he whispered.
Sean blushed.
Suddenly, Will screamed.
"Hey! I wanted that bread!"
"Oh, yeah? Just like you wanted those jeans?"
"Give!"
"No!"
The twins started wrestling.
It all ended up in a big tug-of-war as they rolled around on the ground.
Chris looked at Will, fighting with his twin sister.
It made him smile and he wished he and his own sister could love each other like that.
He shook his head. That would be impossible.
"Giiiiive!!!" Will shouted.
"No way! Moahahahahaha!!!" Lilly laughed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The same night Will, once again walked out to go to the bathroom.
But this time, he came out from Chris' room. So he had a hard time finding his way.
"Dammit! Where's the potty?" he mumbled.
Suddenly, he saw Lilly walking outside.
Widening his eyes, he followed.
"Now what? Don't tell me that….Lilly, wait up!" he started running after her.
Like the last time, a man stood by the cliff. Waiting.
Will did not know who it was. Probably one of the guests.
"Why have you called me out at this hour, Edward!? she asked him with her light voice.
"It was not I who betrayed the other."
"I have no idea what you are talking about."
"No? Then how can you explain that I have been waiting for ten years to return to you!? Just so you can say that you don't love me!?"
Will started walking against them. He couldn't let this happen. Not to Lilly.
She backed away from the man.
"The reason is, I do not. I do not love you any more, Edward. We cannot be together anymore."
She turned away from him.
"No! I will not let you do that to us!"
This time, Will saw a gun actually appear in mid air in the man's hand.
He gasped. This wasn't possible! It couldn't be!
Lilly backed against the edge.
"Edward! What are you…"
"If I cannot have you in life, then I shall have you in death! he called out and shot her."
"Lilly, no!!!"
Will rushed to the edge. He saw her fall down and threw himself after her.
In the air he caught her and tried to kick against the cliff.
They landed in the wood. The trees broke the fall. Lilly woke up.
"Will? What happened?"
"Come on…Let's go back before something else happens."
They started walking back. Lilly with hardly a scratch, and Will with broken ribs.
Just as they walked into the hotel, they heard a gunshot coming from upstairs.
"Dammit!"
Will sat down in the couch as Lilly ran to his room.
Before he knew it, Chris was by his side. Will was immediatley comforted in his arms.
"The ambulance is on it's way. What the hell happened?"
Will put his arms around his legs, leaning his head against his arms.
"He shot her. He shot my sister. But she wasn't my sister, she was someone else. She fell and I jumped after her…I think some of my ribs are broken."
Chris brushed some strays of hair away from his face as he continued.
"If I hadn't been there both of the times, Chris…The girls would've been dead. And this time it was so close. I was so close to losing…" he bursted into tears.
Chris leaned forward and kissed him on the forehead.
"Next time, someone might get killed, Chris."
"Then I guess we'll hafta be there to stop it, wont we?" Chris whispered.
Will nodded.
"Yeah. You're right. I'm gonna try to end her curse, Chris. I'm gonna give peace…To both of them."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next couple of days, nothing happened.
"Maybe they gave it a rest." Lilly said as she helped Will to the lake.
His ribs were still a little twisted.
"Naah….I don't think so. But I'm gonna look out every night anyway."
Chris took over as Lilly ran into the lake.
"Well….I can help you stay away." he whispered.
Will blushed.

That night was their last night at the hotel. And there was a party in the hotel's great-hall.
Will laughed as Greg and Sean argued about which song to play. As he started walking towards the door, Lilly stopped him.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm just going outside for some fresh air, if it's okay for you, your highness." he teased.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When he was outside, he stopped. The moon was full and the air was cool.
Suddenly, that feeling came to him again. And it was like he couldn't breathe. He fell to his knees, shaking his head.
Everything went black.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Will was walking to the cliffs like on command.
He looked out over the ocean as he waited. For what, he didn't know.
Suddenly, he heard someone walking towards him and stop right behind him. He turned around.
It was Chris. But Will didn't see anything anymore. His body had been taken over by a supernatural force.
"Why have you called me out in this hour, Edward?" Chris asked.
Even he did not know what was happening. He didn't see anything either.
"It was not I who betrayed the other." Will answered.
"I have no idea what you are talking about."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sean looked around and started walking towards the door where he had seen Will walk out through.
Then Chris had followed, and at last Lilly left.
He found her in the corridor. She was looking at the paintings.
"Hello there, doll. What´cha doing?" he smiled.
She turned to him.
"I'm worried, Sean. Will and Chris disappeared and they ain't in their room's."
Sean looked thoughtfully at her.
"Maybe they got away to shagg, don't you think?"
She blushed.
"No."
He smiled and leaned over her.
"So you don't think they're shagging right now?"
She looked into his eyes as his lips came closer. She stood on her toes and they kissed.
He pushed her against the wall and the kiss got deeper.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Chris looked at Will for a long time.
"As I just said, Edward. I don't love you." with that, Chris turned away.
"No! I will not let you do that to us!" Will called out.
Chris turned back and saw him holding a gun and backed against the edge.
"Edward! What are you…"
"If I cannot have you in life, then I shall have you in death!"
The gun shot off and Chris fell over the edge.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lilly held Sean's head pushed against her own when she suddenly stopped.
"Did you hear something?"
"No…Nothing." he breathed.
She looked down the corridor.
"Ehm, Sean…."
"Yeah, love?" he whispered as he kissed her neck.
"Please tell me that's one of the guest's that didn't know when to leave."
He also looked down the corridor.
They saw a person walking against them. But it couldn't be called a 'person'. More like an 'it' or 'the'.
It was limping.
"Who is it?" Lilly wondered.
"I dunno, too dark to see."
It walked into the light and they could see it.
It was horrible. It had a little whole in it's head and it's body were rotten.
"It's…a…a…" Sean stumbled over his words.
"Zombie! Run!" she called out.
She didn't have to say it twice. They were running for they're lives.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Will slowly walked into the hotel and started walking upstairs, with the gun still in his hand.
"Susannah…" he whispered.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In the great-hall there were dancing and laughter.
Greg and Anthony were talking to two girls as they suddenly felt a weird presence.
They turned around and gasped for air.
There was a girl. Or, it could once have been a girl. She looked like she'd been lying in water for centuries.
"A gh-gh….A Zombie! Run, fool ruuuun!" Greg yelled at Anthony as the panic were spread in the room.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The wind was blowing by the cliffs. Suddenly, an arm came up and Chris pulled himself over the edge and onto the green grass. He looked up at the hotel.
"Edward…." he whispered and got up.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lilly and Sean stopped running and looked around. The zombie was gone.
"Whoo…That was…" Sean breathed.
"Unreal! Zombies doesn't exist!"
Suddenly, a part of the floor cracked and a zombie-arm tried to pull Lilly down by holding her legs.
Sean grabbed her and tried to pull her away as she screamed and kicked.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Will opened the door to his room and walked inside.
In the bigger room with the fireplace, he stopped. He put the gun against his head.
"Susannah… "he whispered.
"Edward."
He turned around and Chris entered the room.
"Susannah? How? I thought-"
Chris smiled.
"Love saved me, my dear."
"Love?"
Chris stood right in front of the shorter boy.
"Love saved me, Edward. I love you. I always have."
Will dropped the gun and put his hands around Chris' face.
"Susannah….I'm so sorry….Can you ever forgive me?"
Chris smiled as Will reached up and got closer.
"I forgive you, Edward….Can you forgive me for my betrayal?"
"What betrayal?" Will smiled and kissed him.
They stood there, with their arms around each other, kissing with deepest love.
"I love you Edward." Chris whispered.
"And I love you, Susannah." Will smiled.
If it was possible, the kiss got more intense.
Suddenly, two lights rose from their bodies. With a light blue colour, they danced in the air.
"Thank you for forgiving me, Edward." a girl's voice said.
"I will always love you, Susannah." a man's voice answered.
The two standing kept kissing like it was the last kiss they were going to have in their life.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The great-hall got quiet. Greg was standing on a chair with Anthony on his shoulders.
"The zombie…It disappeared." he breathed.
"Yeah…Now, get off!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lilly and Sean fell to the floor.
The crack in it was gone. No zombie was to be seen.
"Waow…We made it." Sean sighed.
Lilly held him close to her.
"Thank God you held on to me."
He smiled and held her even closer.
"I would never let you go."
The hotel was free from the cursed couple.
And the couple themselves, had gone to heaven. Free at last.
Chris and Will spent the night in Will's room. Loving like never before. Now knowing what love can do to a person.
And with all that new knowledge, they went on with the celebrations into the sunrise.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next day they all met on the yard.
"Well…how was your night?" Will wondered.
"You know, the usual…Living dead running around…" Greg said.
Lilly nodded.
"Yeah...
"Well…See you later, then." Sean mumbled.
They nodded and separated from Chris and Will.
And no one spoke of the event ever again. They got back to their lives and school.
But still, new adventures were waiting for them all.
For life is a great adventure itself.
