She can't have him, she can't take him from me. Not now, not ever. And if I need to deal with her myself...I will. I walked over to her kitchen. I grabbed a knife and made my way to the stairs. I quietly walked up to them and saw the light was on in her room. I lightly opened the door and glared at her as she was watching youtube. Her phone rang, and I decided to sit and listen in on it. She picked it up. "Paula, do you know what time it is?" she asked. "I know but...listen...calm the fuck down. I'm sorry Ness is ignoring you, I am, but what do you want me to do about it, he hates me." Damn right I do. I'm sorry Popo...but you'll have to say bye to your beloved sister. Nana sighed and hung up the phone. I took this chance to walk up behind her. She finally noticed me and turned around. "Ne-" I covered her mouth with my hand and lowered my head.

"You're never going to take him from me, Lucas is mine," I said. I stabbed her side and she instantly spat up blood onto my palm. I ripped the knife out and shoved it through her throat. I ripped it out again and let go of her. She fell forward. I looked down and giggled. I stabbed the back of her head. "Say hi to the devil for me bitch." I ripped the knife out and walked to the window. I opened it and jumped out. I looked up at the open window and took off my bloody gloves. I placed them in my pocket. I then undressed and wore my shirt and shorts inside out. I then walked home. Before entering the house I double-checked the knife in my back pocket. I knocked on the door and soon Tracy opened it. She crossed her arms.

"The hell you doing out so damn late?" Tracy asked. "I was forced to be out here waiting for your ass." I sighed.

"Sorry Trace, I was out with a friend." Tracy shook her head and noticed something odd about my outfit.

"You're wearing your clothes inside out...again." I looked down.

"Damn it."

"Were you drinking?"

"Um...maybe, don't tell mom."

"I don't give enough shits to tell her. I'm going to bed." Tracy walked off. I chuckled a bit and closed the door. I walked toward my room. When I entered I let out a breath of fresh air. I closed the door and walked toward my closet. There was my picture of Lucas. My lovely Lucas. His childish, ice cream hair. His ocean blue eyes. His everything, every part of his body...belongs to me. I kissed his picture and placed the knife next to my other knife. My practice knife, both of which are covered in dry blood. I took off my clothes and noticed I had blood over my body.

"Damn it." I walked into my bathroom and took my shower. After my shower, I reached underneath my bed to a small box. I opened the box to find Lucas's Baseball protective cup. The one he puts around his wonder crotch while we play Baseball. I grabbed it and sniffed. I placed it back and grabbed my phone. I dialed his number. "Hey, Lucas."

"Hey, Ness, what do you-" Lucas interrupted himself with a yawn. " What do you want?"

"I hope I'm not intruding."

"Other than the fact it's midnight, no, not at all."

"Good, I was wondering."

"Yea?"

"After our game if we could go somewhere? Like a movie or something?"

"Hmm sure, but could we talk about it tomorrow. I'm kinda tired."

"Ok, night cutie."

"I thought you said you were gonna stop calling me that."

"I just like making you blush."

"I-I'm not blushing."

"Sure, so if I had a hidden camera in your room I wouldn't see you blushing?"

"..."

"Hmm?"

"Good night Ness."

"Night." I turned the phone off and laid on the bed. Should I look at those cameras? I don't think so. I've had quite an eventful night. I'm a little tuckered out. Oh, wait, crap. The game is probably gonna be delayed because of Nana. Damn it, even in death you're a two-timing bitch. Whatever, I'll deal with it in the morning. I hope you have a wonderful night, Lukey...I know I have.

I woke up the next morning. I did my normal morning routine. Brushing my teeth, dressing, and making my breakfast. I sat down with my plate of scrambled eggs and sausages. I started eating when there was a knock at the door. I put my fork down and ran to the door. I opened it and saw Popo. He was in a tearful mess. "Popo, what's wrong?" I asked. He sniffed and pulled me into a hug. I patted his back.

"I-it's Nana, she...she's...she's dead Ness..." he cried. I felt a little sympathetic, but not too much. I pushed Popo slightly to look at his face.

"When?"

"L-last night, or this morning...I-I don't know." He sniffed and saw the sympathy on my mom's face. She walked over and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Now now Popo, do you know who did it?" she asked. Popo shook his head. He wiped the tears away and reached into his pocket.

"I won't be in school today, and Nana wanted to give this to Lucas. Can you do that for me?" I looked at what he held and saw a small sunflower pin. I grabbed it with a nod. Popo grinned. "Thanks, Ness. Um, don't tell anyone at school. We want to know as much as we can before telling everyone else."

"Don't worry Popo, you can trust me."

"I know I can." Popo sniffed and walked out. I looked down at the pin and grew a small grin.

"Man, I'll take you to school this time. Can't be too safe, 'K?" My mom asked. I just nodded and walked back to my breakfast. I looked down at the pin once more. You have an eye for this stuff Nana, I'll give you that. I quickly ate the food and washed the dish. My mom then drove me to my school. I hopped out and it seemed no one knew about Nana.

I walked into the school and instantly made my way toward Lucas's locker. I saw his locker was opened, which means he's there. I walked over and kicked the locker closed. The only thing I saw was his face. He just glared at me. "Really?" he asked. I chuckled and leaned on the locker next to his.

"Yea."

"Ugh, you're a dick." Lucas starts to put his locker combo in. 04 20 06. He opened his locker and kneeled down.

"So, big guy, you ready for the game today?" Lucas's sigh made me worry. "Did something happen?"

"They delayed it."

"How come?"

"They didn't tell us, just something with Popo." Lucas stood up and put his bag on his back. "I'm kinda worried."

"I talked to Popo earlier."

"You did? Did he say anything odd?" I shook my head which clearly disappointed him. He sighed and started to walk away. I reached into my pocket and brought out the pin.

"Lukey?" Lucas turned around with a raised eyebrow. "I got you something." I walked forward and handed him the sunflower pin. He smiled and seemed to grow a small blush. I kneeled down to put it into his shirt. While down there I looked up at him. Yup, definitely blushing. "Oh, what's with your little blush."

"I-I'm not blushing, I'm just...just."

"Save your breath." I stood up and smirked. "You're cute, you know that." Lucas sarcastically laughed and started to walk away. He stopped and looked back, noticing I wasn't moving. "You know what I want."

"Ugh, will you walk me to class?"

"Of course Lukey." I happily walked over to him.

"You do know I hate you, correct?"

"Trust me, I do." School was boring. Absolutely boring. I don't have a single class with Lucas. Not even lunch. I don't get to see him until the end of the day. I stand by his locker. I open his locker and just look at what he has. It's a pretty average locker. Nothing stood out to me. He did have a picture of me at the back, which just lightens my heart...even though I kinda forced him to put it up. Lucas soon popped up next to me. I stepped aside and allowed him to fix his bag. "So, Lukey, you ready for the dinner, or movie?" Lucas stood up and closed the locker.

"Which are we doing?"

"Let's go old school, and have dinner." Lucas nodded and both of us started walking toward the exit. Before making it out, however, someone walked up to Lucas. We turned and saw Red. He crossed his arms.

"Lucas, you coming over like we planned?" Red asked.

"Oh, I forgot..." Lucas turned to Ness. "Sorry, but I made plans with Red." I smiled and turned to him.

"Red, can we talk?" Red tilted his head.

"Sure." I walked forward and grabbed his arm, dragging him away. Ness fought back, but couldn't break from my grip. I opened a closet door and pushed him in, after making sure no camera or person was near. I walked in and closed the door. "The fuck Ness." I turned to face him.

"Lucas belongs to me."

"What're you talking about."

"You're not going to take him from me."

"We're just friends. He's visiting because-"

"Shut up, you're trying to take my Lucas away. I reached into my back pocket and grabbed a knife I took from home. I then slash Red's stomach. He screeched, but I made sure he'd stay quiet by shoving the knife into his throat. I watched as his life drained from his eyes. I reached up and removed the small square of the roof. I placed Red in the small crawl space above the first floor. I then changed into a spare set of clothes from my bag. I then walked out. I walked back to where Lucas was. "Red canceled." Lucas raised an eyebrow.

"He did...why, he seemed adamant about me visiting," Lucas said. I simply shrugged. Lucas looked me up and down. "So, what's the deal with your clothes? They're different." I looked down and had to think of a lie, or maybe I don't.

"I just wanted to change, especially for our little date," I winked. Lucas rolled his eyes.

"I never know when you're joking or not." I simply winked and we walked out of the school. We walked through the pleasant town and soon got to a small restaurant. Peach's Fruity Food. I looked up at it happily, knowing this is Lucas's favorite restaurant. I looked at Lucas, who tried to hold in his excitement. Lucas looked at me and cleared his throat. He walked in. I just giggled and followed. Behind the front counter was Daisy. She stood there looking at a computer. She looked at us.

"Hello boys, the usual spot?" Daisy asked. Lucas nodded and Daisy walked us to the back of the building and into the booth. "I assume the norm?"

"Yea, but give me water instead," Lucas said. Daisy nodded and walked away. I looked at him.

"Lukey?" I asked. He turned to me.

"Yea?"

"Um, do you ever plan on being with someone?"

"I don't know. I'd like to at some point, but I don't really know. I heard Nana was going to ask me out, but I haven't seen her all day."

"You haven't...neither have I." Lucas looked a little worried for her. I knew I would need to divert his attention. But on what? What could I make him think of? "Well, I heard someone else has a crush on you." Lucas's eyes widened.

"Realy?"

"Yea, but one small problem."

"Hm?"

"He's a boy."

"...you said there was a small problem. Well, where is it?"

"That's not a problem?"

"Not at all, I don't discriminate," Lucas winked. I giggled and sat back.

"He's a friend of yours, that's all I'll say." Lucas tapped his chin. He's thinking. Not about Nana, but about who this "mystery" person could be. Before he could think for long Daisy came back and placed our drinks on the table. Lucas took his water and I took my Pepsi. I looked at his focused eyes. The eyes that I love. The blue, ocean eyes that hold a small sparkle in them. I can't help but smile when I see them. Lucas must've noticed me looking at him.

"Ness, you're staring at me again."

"Sorry, it's just...your eyes. They're amazing."

"Yea, you've told me like a million times before." I giggled, which seemed to bring a small cute blush on his face. His pink cheeks brighten up my day. Daisy soon came by with our food. We ate it and soon saw a police car race past the restaurant. We both look at it. "Is that headed toward the school?"

"Seems like it." We looked at each other before standing up and running out of the building and toward the school. We soon see a wave of police cars and ambulances. We ran up to the first cop. He held out his arms.

"Sorry kids, you can't pass here," he said.

"What happened?" I asked.

"We...found a dead body on the roof of the first floor." I looked at Lucas, faking my worry.

"Who was it?" Lucas asked.

"Red." Lucas looked at me.

"Ness, didn't you talk to him before we left?" The cop glared at me. His eyebrow raised, and suspicion already rising.

"Yea, we talked," I said. The officer continued to glare at me. I finally looked at his name tag. Snake. What a stupid name. Lucas must've seen the suspicion in his eyes.

"You...you don't suspect Ness did it, do you?"

"I can't say we do. Be we do need to take him in for questioning," Snake said.

"You can't just-" I put my hand on his shoulder.

"It's ok Lukey. Go home and chill..." I turned to him, holding my smile. "I know what I did and didn't do. You don't have to worry," I say. I turn to Snake. "I'm ready, officer." Snake's suspicious glare softened slightly before putting his hand on my back. He pushed me toward a police car. He lowered me in and I sat down. Inside was a woman. She turned to me as Snake sat in.

"Suspect?" she asked.

"Yup," Snake said. He turned his head toward me. "Kid, I'm not gonna sugar coat this, I don't trust you."

"Wow, what an officer. You better not let this bias overshadow you. David." Snake seemed slightly concerned that I knew his real name. I looked at the lady. Do I know her? Of course, I do. I make sure I know every person in town...to make sure none try to steal Lucas. "Well, Samus, you were taking us to the station. Better hurry up, I've got plans you're currently cock-blocking." Samus crossed her arms and turned around. I saw her give a small nod to Snake and we drove off.

After an excruciatingly long time, we made it to the station. Snake roughly grabbed my arm and walked me through the station. I looked at everyone in the station. I knew one more than the others, Lucas's dad, Flint. Flint walked over to us. He held out his arms. "Woah, what is the meaning of this?" Flint asked.

"Chief, Ness here is a key suspect in the recent murder," Snake said. Flint looked at me.

"Suspect?"

"Trust me, sir, I didn't do it. I just happened to be the last person to speak with him. Or, at least we think," I chime in. Flint looked back at Snake and Samus. He crossed his arms.

"Ness has been friends with Lucas for so long, I doubt he did it. But..." Flint looked down at me. "Show no mercy. If he did do it, I need to know." I was a little thrown off by his sudden firm persona, but I tried not to seem concerned. Snake pushed me forward and continued to walk me toward the interrogation room. He sat me down in the chair as Samus closed the door. I crossed my arms and looked at the two officers.

"So, what was the last thing you said to him?" Snake asked.

"I was asking him if he could postpone his little meetup with our friend for I wanted to go on a sorta date." Samus stepped toward him.

"What exactly did you say?" Samus asked. These bastards think I'm stupid. I know damn well what they're doing. They're trying to make me obviously lie by knowing too much. I glared at her.

"I don't know. All I know is that he allowed me to go with him. Red, he was one of my closest friends...he's done so much for me and Lucas, my friend. I owe him so much," I start. I started to feel tears fall down my face. I touched my eye and felt the tear. I didn't mean to cry, but hopefully, it'll help me. "He...he's the only person who I was able to tell about my crush..." I look up at them. They were looking a little sympathetic. "...Don't tell Flint I'm crying, the last thing I want is for Lucas to see me as weak." Samus gives a small hum and hands me some tissues. I take them and rub the tears away.

"Listen, kid, while your emotion is evident, we still can't be sure it wasn't you. So, did you kill Red?" Snake asked. Samus seemed a little thrown off by his abrasive form of questioning.

"David, I can't prove I didn't do it, nor could you prove I did. We're stuck between a rock and a hard place, so if you may, allow me to leave. If you do find evidence...call me." I stood up and walked toward the door that Samus unlocked. I turned my head to look at them. "I hope you find who killed Red, he needs some justice." I walked out and eventually got out of the station. I decided to head home.

When I walked up into my room I laid back on my bed. What should I do? I could go visit Lukey...but I don't want him to think I'm desperate. Maybe...I know. I shot up and closed the door to my room. I ran to my desk and pulled out my laptop. I thought for a while. I turned the laptop on and pulled up a small folder titled Lucas. I was able to bring up a camera system, with 12 cameras. I saw Lucas in the upper left corner camera view. I clicked on it and the camera grew bigger. I saw Lucas better. I smirked and turned the audio on. He was on the phone. "I understand Paula, it's just, Red...he was my best friend," Lucas said. I felt hurt. "No...yea I have Ness, but he's different." I smiled, thinking of what he could mean by that. Lucas sighed from whatever Paula had said. "Paula, I'm worried about Ness."

"Oh no..." I accidentally said out loud.

"No, of course not, but...I know how much Red meant to him, I can't even imagine how he's feeling about it. And then he gets basically abducted by those damned cops." I let out a breath of relief. "Crush on him? W-why would you say that?" I giggled. I love how flustered he gets. So adorable. He sighed. "Screw off Paula. Go suck Poo's dick while I, I dunno, do whatever I guess. Mhm...yeah...alright...night." Lucas hung the phone up and laid back down on his bed. I saw a tear fall from his eye...poor Lukey. How can I make you feel better? "Ness?" I bounced back slightly. He never usually talks to himself like this. "Ness, I know you're watching me. I could get you arrested for this." Lucas proceeds to look up at the camera, staring directly at me. Lucas giggled. "Meet me at the park...if you can hear me, you know which park. And I also know you'd hate to see me make a fool of myself." Lucas stood up. He walked off the camera but quickly got back with a chair. He climbed up and smiled at the camera. "See you there." He turned it off.

I left the building and walked my way to what's called the Overlooker. It's a cliff that, well, overlooks the town. This cliff is so high it's been used many times as a suicide jumping spot, but strangely enough the mayor of the town has turned this place to a tourist attraction. He had people build a small park up there. And, when I say small, I mean smaller than small. There's only really a picnic table. Other than that it really shouldn't even be open, more or less deemed as a park, but I don't really care.

I soon made it up there and saw him sitting at the picnic table. I walked over and sat in front of him. Lucas smirked. "You made it."

"How'd you know I had those cameras?"

"Well, when you put cameras in someone else's house, you've gotta hide them. And not put them in the corner of the damn roof." I snapped my fingers and nodded.

"Right, that makes sense." Lucas nodded and leaned forward.

"How'd the interrogation go? Hope they weren't too rough."

"Nah..." I shook my head. "It wasn't fun, but I think I was able to show I was innocent." Lucas nodded and crossed his arms.

"That's good, Snake is usually a bitch so I'm glad he wasn't for you."

"Hey, I never said that," I giggled. Lucas joined in, but he soon stopped and grew a somber look. I tilted my head. "What's wrong?"

"I heard about Nana..."

"Oh, right. Popo told me to keep it secret." Lucas nodded and turned to the cliff. He gulped.

"You know, Ness, we've been losing a lot of friends lately. Aren't you a little worried you might be targeted?" I nodded. A lot of our friends have been dying. Most of which were dying by jumping from this cliff. I have no clue what's been happening to them, but it all seems forced. I shook my head.

"I'm confident I'll be fine." Lucas chuckled and turned back to me.

"Of course you are, that's what I love." Lucas stood up. "Well, I better get home. You know my mom's curfew." I nodded and he started walking down the path, leaving me at the bench. I stood up and saw Lucas stopped and turned his head. "I forgive you for Red."

"What do you mean?" Lucas winked.

"I think you know." He continued to walk off, leaving me to my thoughts. Does he know what I did? How did he find out about Nana? Before getting too deep into my own head I looked back at the picnic table and saw Lucas's phone left on the bench he used. Lucas never leaves his phone. I walk over and pick it up. Do I know his pin, of course, I do. It's my birthday. 08271994. A long pin, but he seems to have no problem with it. I look through his phone and find a certain someone trying to hit on him. God damn it. Why can't people understand...he belongs to me. I clenched his phone and anger filled my body as I looked at the name.

"Kumatora," I growled. I walked over, still with his phone clenched in my hand. I never even realized I was walking. When I saw her flirting with him I lost everything about me. The only way to get it back is to slay her. Good thing for me, she lives by herself. Her blood, her dead body draining on the floor. That's what I need. Kumatora will not steal MY LUCAS away. And if that means I need to slit her throat and watch her suffer...so be it.

I finally made it back to the real world and noticed I was standing in front of her door. I knocked on the door and soon Kumatora opened the door with a smile. She noticed I was a little angry and allowed me in. "Is something wrong?" Kumatora asked. She closed the door and watched as I walked away. I entered her kitchen and grabbed a knife. I then walked back toward her. She saw the knife and started to back up. She had made the mistake of closing the door. When she went to open it I just threw the knife, stabbing it through her hand and nailing it to the door. She screeched and watched me. "Ness?"

"Kuma...you're trying to take him from me...you're trying to take Lukey away...I can't have that..."

"N-Ness. You've gotta understand, I-I didn't know you liked him." I growled and grabbed her throat.

"You stupid bitch...he's mine, he's always been mine. Your dumb ass is just too stupid to realize it." I ripped the knife from her hand and shoved it through her eye. Blood spurted onto me as she fell forward. I looked down at her. "I don't usually like to get dirty, but you forced my hand...literally." A small room off the living room opened its door. I looked and saw Lucas. He was crossing his arms as he looked between me and the dead body. I backed up, eyes wide.

"So it was you," Lucas said.

"Lucas...I" Lucas shook his head.

"No point, Ness, I saw everything." Lucas looked down at Kumatora. "Poor little Kuma didn't stand a lick of a chance." I noticed something odd about him. He wasn't sad, he wasn't thrown off by our bloody friend between us, he wasn't scared, nothing. He was just Lucas. He walked toward me with a grin. "I also heard what you said, about me...I never knew I belonged to you."

"L-Lucas, you see..." Lucas put his cute little index finger over my lips, his smile widening.

"'Cause I always thought you belonged to me."

"Wah?" Lucas kicked Kumatora away, very rude, even by my standards. He stepped closer, and only then did I realize I was shorter than him. Not by much, but enough to realize.

"Those suicides...they were getting a tad too close to you for my liking, I had to dispose of them. I'm sure you're used to that saying as well?" I nodded, still a little confused. The cops here are smart. As much as I'd like to say they'd never catch me, it would be inevitable. They're smarter than most cops. Lucas noticed this look, almost as though he's been studying me. He turned to Kumatora's dead body. "While you have a more...direct way of disposing of people, I have a more mental way..." He looked back at me, and I saw a new look in his ocean eyes. No longer are they pure-although, now it seems they never were pure-but they are now evil. A blue only fitting of a villain. A blue that looks way more attractive on this little tall soft boy. "I did what you did to them...I got in their heads. If you want, I could teach you. But, I could also get into something else with you," Lucas winked

"You're one sick sadistic fucker." Lucas giggled, this giggle was tinted in evil and seemed to belong to a troll or some type of gremlin.

"I am, but so are you. Killing your friends in cold blood with no remorse for family or other friends...how evil is that?" Lucas asked as he rubbed my left cheek.

"You fuck up your friends' mind to the point of suicide, how evil is that?" I asked, rubbing his left cheek. "Well, before you get into anything of mine, I need to get rid of Kumatora...wanna help?"

"Sure, but only if you help me with a little problem myself."

"What might that be, Lukey?"

"Paula, she's too into you." I giggled and kissed his forehead.

"Of course we can deal with her, we can deal with anyone you don't like." Lucas grinned.

"That's good because I don't like a lot of people."

"Well, I guess we need to dispose of a lot. Let's just take one step at a time." Lucas nodded and we both walked to Kumatora. We walked out into the yard and buried her. We looked at each other and nodded as we agreed to go deal with Paula next.
