Chapter 1

(Elizabeth's pov)

I can't believe this it's the same thing every night and I am so sick and tired of my best friend Michael being treated this way. As I pulled on my jacket and shoes my mom watched from the doorway and smiled when she saw me grab the spare jacket for Michael to wear while we sat together on his porch.

"I'll be back later mommy,"

"Be careful Lizzie,"

"I will mommy," and with that said I walked to the door, slowly opened it, waved to my mother and walked out to spend the night with Michael.

(Narrator's pov)

As Elizabeth walked across the street Michael looked up at the same moment and smiled when he saw his best friend.

"Hi Mikey," Elizabeth said holding out the coat to him.

"Mommy and I thought you could use the warmth and company,"

"Thanks Lizzie," Michael said taking the coat from her small hand and put it on while Lizzie stood by and smiled at him.

"Come join me Liz," Michael said holding out his arm so Liz could sit close to him.

"Mikey?," Lizzie whispered as Michael wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

"Yeah Lizzie?,"

"I…I've always been too shy to tell you this but…but I like you Mikey,"

"I like you too Lizzie," Michael said tilting her head up to face his, and slowly just like he saw his sister and her boyfriend do, he placed a small soft kiss upon her lips.

"I…I should head inside thank you Lizzie for always being there for me,"

"I'll always be there for you Mikey I…I lo…love you,"

"I love you too Lizzie," and as Michael said that he shrugged off the coat, placed a small kiss upon Elizabeth's lips again, and headed inside.

The next day Michael sat outside the principal's office while his mother was yelling at the principal and some shrink that they had called in.

As Michael sat there bored out of his mind he jumped when he didn't realize that Elizabeth had sat down beside him.

"Hi Mikey,"

"Hi Lizzie," Michael said kissing her lips softly.

"What are you doing here again I thought you would have been in class like me,"

"I got into a fight cause the jerks of this school was dissing my mom," Michael said running his fingers through Elizabeth's hair.

"Oh, sorry about that Mikey it has to suck,"

"It does, hey I just got a great idea how about we get out of here,"

"Sounds like a plan," and with that said Michael and Elizabeth grabbed each other's hands and took off to their lockers to grab their bags and coats, and Michaels clown mask.

As they got out the front door of the school Michael took Elizabeth's hand and led her towards the forest where he hung out.

"Lizzie?,"

"Yeah Mikey," Elizabeth said as he helped her down the hill.

"If…if something was to happen would you wait for me?,"

"Don't talk like that Mikey nothing's going to happen,"

"Just tell me, would you wait for me?,"

"I would wait for you till my last dying breath," and with that said Elizabeth kissed Michael on the lips while snuggling into his side while sitting on the log.

(Halloween Night)

Michael had just got back from the bit of trick-or-treating that he did when he had the sudden urge to take revenge. He knew his father was asleep in the lazy boy chair and that his sister and her boyfriend were upstairs so there was no one around to witness him kill. So Michael followed his urge, not knowing that he wasn't in control of his body, so he grabbed the duct tape from the first kitchen drawer and the butcher knife from the second one and went to work feeding his urge.

An hour later Michael's mother returned home from work to find Michael sitting on the front steps with his baby sister Boo in his arms. His clothes covered in blood.

"Michael what happen?, Michael what HAPPENED?," even though Michael could hear his mother he kept silent while she called the police.

As Elizabeth arrived home with her mother they saw the police cars in the street and Michael sitting in the back of the police cruiser.

"Michael?," Elizabeth whispered while placing her cat glove onto the window near Michael's heart.

"I'm sorry, please wait for me," Michael mouthed through the glass while placing his hand over her's and blowing Elizabeth a kiss while the police car drove away taking Michael further away from Elizabeth's heart.
