Chapter 3 - Freddie's Story

State your name and age for the recording." a voice rang out threw.the darkness. A boy was sitting at a table he had his feet propped up onto it and he looked around for the source of the voice but couldn't find it. He shrugged to himself.

"Freddie O'Connell, seventeen years old." he replied as he squinted as the lights were in his face.

"What was your relationship with the victim?" the voice spoke again, Freddie sighed and clenched his fists.

"She was my girlfriend, until she decided to be a bitch....well it all happened at my seventeenth birthday party." he explained.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Come on Maddie! We're going to be late!" Margaret shouted as she pulled Madeline along after her. Elizabeth rolled her eyes at her friend's behaviour and followed after them. They got into Freddie's house and the party began. The three girls and Freddie were the last few there. So they decided to do shots. They passed the vodka around laughing at each others attempts. Until Margaret looked at her watch. She then looked up at Madeline, Elizabeth and Freddie.

"I gotta go, my mum called the cab." she told them all. Freddie stared at her drunkenly.

"Yeah, go, no one wants you here slag." he insulted her. Margaret frowned at him and glared slightly.

"I'll walk you out." Madeline finally said. Breaking the silence that had formed. Elizabeth's eyes narrowed at the thought of Madeline alone with Margaret.

"I'll walk you out too." she told Margaret giving the girl a slight glare. She and Madeline both stood up and walked Margaret out of the house. They shut the door on her and walked back into the living room.

"Now that all of the loosers are gone let's have some fun." Madeline grinned she then placed a bottle on the table.

"Spin the bottle, truth or dare." she grinned looking at Freddie then Elizabeth. Elizabeth pointed to the space where no one was sitting.

"If the bottle spins that way, your doing the dare!" she smirked tilting her head to the side. Freddie glared at her.

"It's always me." he mumbled under his breath. Madeline then span the bottle and it pointed to the space where no one was sitting. Making Madeline and Elizabeth smirk at Freddie knowingly.

"Why's it always me!" Freddie yelled pushing back on his chair and waving his hands above his head. He then stood up putting his knuckles on the table.

"Alright, what the dare?" he asked them both. Elizabeth went silent and she looked towards Madeline, who grabbed the bottle and gave it to Freddie.

"Drink that whole bottle, and uh give us a show." Madeline smirked with an raised eyebrow. Freddie looked at her confused then.

"A show?" he repeated in confusion. Elizabeth scoffed and rolled her eyes at him.

"She means strip!" she told him her voice bitchy. Freddie's eyes widened and he shook his head.

"Oh no. I'm not doing that." He told them both. Making Elizabeth roll her eyes.

"Awe come on. It'll be funny." Madeline smirked at him. Freddie looked inbetween the two girls and seeing they weren't going to back down raised his hands in the air. He picked up the vodka bottle.

"Fine." he sighed. Madeline and Elizabeth both grinned then and stood up clapping their hands as he took his first shot of the vodka.

"One!" they both grinned and he pulled a disgusted face.

"What is this?" he asked them both before he took another swig making the girls clap again.

"Two!" Freddie started to stumble a bit and he held onto a chair for support before he took another shot.

"Three!" they laughed and Freddie then took another sip and chucked the bottle away making the girls whoops. He the took of his top stepped onto the table and ripped of his trousers. Making Madeline laugh and Elizabeth look a bit disgusted. She then turned her head to see Madeline filming Freddie. Her eyes widened she signalled for her to stop but Madeline didn't pay attention and continued as Freddie stripped further. He was yelling at the top of his voice and the girls heard thumps from upstairs.

"We've got to..." Elizabeth began but Madeline was already running.

"...get out of here before his parents come!" she continued and she and Elizabeth left the house.

"Freddie! What are you doing!?" Mrs O'Connell gasped as she came down stairs she was quick to cover her eyes. Freddie just laughed at her.

"What's it look like!? Woohoo!" Freddie exclaimed but Mr O'Connell came downstairs and he glared at his son. He then pulled him down from the table and gripped him by the ear.

"Stop this right now! You're no son of mine stripper!" Mr O'Connell said in absolute disgust his eyes narrowed. Freddie whimpered in pain as he clothes were chucked back at him. He was then dragged to his room and locked in their for the night.

Madeline and Madeline were both walking towards Margaret, by oppersit sides. When they reached the girl she smiled at them.

"So what happened after I left?" she asked Madeline and Elizabeth. Madeline smirked and drew out her phone.

"Only this." she smirked and Elizabeth leaned in to see the video of Freddie stripping.

"Oh, I remember that!" she smirked trying to impress and please Madeline.

"He stripped?" Margaret asked a slight laugh in her voice.

"Down to his trousers. And beyond." Madeline told Margaret. Margaret laughed while Elizabeth stood smirking.

"Do you know what I should do?" Madeline suddenly asked out of the blue. Making Margaret and Elizabeth look up at her.

"What?" they asked in sinc but Elizabeth was slightly apprehensive.

"I should send this to the big group chat we have." Madeline smirked making Elizabeth's eyes widen.

"You totally should!" Margaret beamed encouraging Madeline.

"You really shouldn't!" Elizabeth said straight after leaning forward her voice desperate and pleading. She didn't want Madeline to get into trouble.

"She really should." Margaret told Elizabeth glaring at her. Elizabeth frowned and looked to the ground.

"This joke is going to be so funny!" Madeline beamed as she got ready to send the video.

"But some jokes aren't funny!" Elizabeth tried to protect Madeline again but the said girl cut her a look.

"Well this one is." she told her.

"Yeah, this one is." Margaret echoed Madeline. Making Elizabeth glare at the floor.

"And...sent." Madeline grinned as she swiped her phone she smirked and Margaret smirked back. Elizabeth looked to the floor biting her lip.

"Hey, babe!" Freddie called making the girls look up. Elizabeth's eyes narrowed.

"Let's get to class." she told Margaret and the two girls walked off leaving Madeline with a good tempered, Freddie.

"Hey, hun. The party last night was so fun!" Madeline told Freddie whilst smiling. Freddie grinned back at her.

"I still don't know why ginger came along." he told her. Madeline rolled her eyes.

"She follows me everywhere." she complained and pouted a little bit looking down. Freddie smiled at her.

"Do you want to meet at the park after school?" he asked her. Madeline thought for a few seconds.

"Sure, I'll see you at the park." Madeline beamed before walking away. Unaware Freddie would turn murderous when he next saw her.

"Okay, so b equals 5. Do you understand?" Mrs Sutherland told the class. Elizabeth growled and rolled her eyes.

"I understand this class is boring!" Elizabeth spat at the teacher coursing her to glare at her. Mrs Sutherland was about to open her mouth to reply but Margaret cut her off.

"That question times this class equals boring!" she smirked and Elizabeth and Margaret fist bumped each other.

"Nice one, Peggy." Elizabeth smirked.

"You too, Lizzie!" Margaret replied the teacher looked at them furious and she was about to speak when Freddie entered the classroom.

"Welcome to this hell hole!" a drunk Freddie hollered as he walked into the class. He looked over to the teacher who was furious by now.

"Oh sorry, didn't see you there. Thought you were a pig." Freddie told the teacher before snorting like a pig. Mrs Sunderland was about to speak again when Zac walked into the class.

"Hello, you peeps! Ready to learn how to fall asleep during class!" he shouted whilst laughing. Elizabeth with smirking by then and so was Margaret.

"That's it! I'm getting walkabout! I trust you girls to look after the class while I'm gone." Mrs Sunderland told them all before facing Elizabeth and Margaret. Elizabeth frowned and turned to Margaret.

"She expects us to look after the class." she told her in disbelief before rolling her eyes.

Margaret was looking over at Freddie by then and she was smirking. Elizabeth frowned at her.

"Hey, Zac. Have you seen the video on the group chat yet?" she asked. Making Zac look at her confused. He then took out his phone and saw the video. He laughed and faced Freddie.

"Haha! Stripper!" he grinned pointing. Freddie frowned and glared at Zac.

"Let's see that!" he snapped snatching the phone from him and then seeing the video. His eyes widened in shock.

"That's not me! You photshopped it!" Freddie exclaimed pointing at Margaret accusingly. But Elizabeth shook her head.

"No it isn't. I was there." she told him with a look of disgust.

"Delete it!" Freddie ordered but Elizabeth shook her head.

"It's all over the Internet." she told him sadly. Freddie stilled before his eyes widened and filled with rage.

"I know who did this..... I'M GOING TO KILL THAT BITCH!" he yelled in fury. Elizabeth's eyes widened and she pulled at Margaret's sleeve.  Making the girl look at her.

"We have to warn her!" Elizabeth hissed and she and Margaret quickly ran to Madeline.

"Maddie! Maddie!" both girls shouted as they ran to the girl she turned to them and raised an eyebrow.

"What?" she asked them raising her hands in the air.

"He's going to kill you!" Margaret exclaimed looking up at Madeline. Madeline frowned and tilted her head to the side.

"Who?" she asked them.

"Freddie!" Elizabeth shouted in exaltation. Madeline frowned and rolled her eyes.

"Freddie? He wouldn't hurt a fly." Madeline told the girls. Elizabeth looked to the ground frowning.

"That was until he became a alcoholic." she mumbled to herself. Madeline frowned harder and Freddie walked over. Zac trailing behind him trying to stop the drunk, angry boy.

"I know what you did, bitch!" Freddie growled as he pointed at Madeline. She stared at him expressionless and Elizabeth held a protective arm out in front of Madeline. Freddie kept on approaching the three girls.

"Well if it isn't the stripper." Madeline finally spoke up glaring. Freddie frowned at her and rose his fist only Elizabeth drew her's up. Making Freddie lower his again.

"Why'd you post that video, huh?" he asked whilst glaring at the girl.

"It's not my fault you didn't hesitate to strip! Stripper! Now go away." Madeline growled. But Freddie grabbed her wrist making Elizabeth gasp in shock.

"Not before I kill you." he snarled at her. Madeline then slapped him across the face. The sound echoing around the area and Elizabeth winced. While Margaret merely smiled enjoying the drama.

"I can see the head lines now. Drunken Stripper murders a innocent school girl! Now get lost before the police come to lock you up." Madeline snarled. Freddie glared back at her and Madeline turned to leave. Margaret following her like a loyal dog to it's master. Elizabeth stood still in shock.

"Lizzie, come on!" Madeline shouted as she noticed Elizabeth wasn't following her. Elizabeth woke up from her state and turned to walk away.

"No, Liz. Come over here!" Freddie told the girl making her turn to him. She was about to deny him when Margaret called out to her.

"Come on, Lizzie!" she snapped. Elizabeth took a deep breath before walking towards them.

"Okay. Okay. I'm coming." she sighed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So you told the victim you were going to kill her? Do you know how guilty that makes you sound!" the voice told Freddie making him look up from telling his story. He frowned slightly.

"I bet you say that to everyone." he told the person.

"We're going to hold you in custody until further questioning. At the moment your our top suspect." the voice told Freddie. He frowned and stood up.

"You can leave....Next." the voice said and Freddie walked of. Next on the chair was a girl.
