Chereads / Us. / Chapter 4 - for us.

Chapter 4 - for us.

I need to think. What if I get caught on whisper web.

All I need is for Brooklyn to be in my control.

Assholes like Darren would just get in the way.

And what about her friend Sophie.

One problem after another.

But that's fine.

"Dan, dad made pancakes".

I wake up every morning to the same fucking message.

Dad made pancakes over and over and over again.

But I need to keep up this act.

To get what I want.

"Coming V"

I stuffed my face with this horrible pancakes almost making me vomit.

"I got to rush to school bye dad".

The highlight of my day was seeing Brooklyn.

Her eyes glistening.

Her hair sparkling.

I think she is the one.

She was standing outside the huge gates panicking but even when she panicked she looked hot.

Could it be about the fight?

One look at my hands, and she would immediately know that I was involved.

I can't let that happen.

So what should i do.

Maybe I am overthinking it.

She isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

I know what to do.

I will calmly walk up to her and ask her what happened.

"Hey Brooklyn what's the problem".

"Darren was found dead on the floor".

Fuck.

I am not a bad person.

He was going to hurt you.

It was either you or him.

I had to make a choice.

I need to think.

She is panicking.

*flashback*

"What you say about Brooklyn".

"Wow you really do fancy her don't you". Said Darren.

"Your gonna die".

"So do you have any last words".

"Your joking right"?

"Your not a killer".

I got the heaviest rock I could find.

And smashed his skull into it.

I didn't think he would die.

But he did.

"Fuck".

I looked around but it was the dead of night.

Furthermore people in LA don't care about others when they have to take care of themselves.

I have to make it look like a robbery.

I gave his items to his goons and told them to fuck off.

And to never come back to this city again.

Furthermore I ripped the dna of their skins and placed it under Darren's fingernails.

The LAPD could never tie this to me.

Not ever.

*back to the present*

"Wow".

"Didn't think anyone would have the power to kill Darren".

"It's not funny Dan look it's all over whisperweb". Said Brooklyn.

"Confirmed. The death of Darren will surely affect some but not others. I can only think of one person who would want to harm Darren as he tried to many times in the past."

"Stole his girlfriend Brooklyn and can now be seen together standing in front of the gate".

you got to be kidding me.

All this shit for an asshole who nobody liked and who everyone is afraid of.

Everyone started staring at me and Brooklyn.

No way she could ever know it was me. Forget that this whisperweb person has been a thorn in my side ever since I came here.

Brooklyn in on the Uber app.

I can presume she doesn't want to go school.

Perfect.

"No way I can go to school when everyone thinks I am a killer".

"Ima just go to my cafe".

Now it is time to see if she catches the bait.

she turns off her phone and gently slides it into her purse.

"Let me come with you Dan". She said.

A complete damsel in distress who views me as her knight in shining armour.

I like that a lot.

We were walking to the cafe in complete silence.

I didn't know if it was just from the shock of her ex boyfriend dying.

Or if it was the fact that her potential new boyfriend may have been her ex boyfriends potential killer.

she was on her phone for an awfully long time even in the shop.

I didn't want to look antsy so I wanted her to tell me the person without me asking.

"Your foods cold are you not going to eat it"?

"Yes sorry".

"Was it anything important because we can just do this another time".

Perfect.

I lured her into my trap.

She is bound to fall for it.

"It is just my parents".

You fucking lier.

You can't be lying to your future boyfriend.

You were on direct messages not a group chat.

So it couldn't have been your parents

"I want to have an honest relationship so you don't need to lie to me. If it is something personal you don't have tell me but if you would I would like the truth".

"Well it's nothing personal".

Bingo

"I want to find out who killed Darren".

Fuck.

"It doesn't sit right with me that we are in this coffee shop whilst his killer is still on the lose."

"Look Brooklyn".

"Why should his parents suffer whilst the police do nothing".

"Brooklyn".

"I really don't think it's justice to me".

"Listen".

"So I hired a private investigator".

"BROOKLYN LISTEN".

"ARE YOU TRYING TO PUT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY IN DANGER".

"HOWEVER KILLED DARREN WOULDNT MIND KILLING OTHERS IF IT MEANT THAT THEY COULD BE SAFE".

"I am sorry for screaming at you I just don't want to see anyone that I love get hurt".

I perfectly intergrated that into my sentence.

So now she will have all kind of mix emotions.

"You love me". She said in a shy tone.

"Is that what I said because I think your just hearing it yourself".

"Why don't you come here". Said Brooklyn

Me and her was standing in front of each other and it got abit intense.

"This wasn't supposed to be a date and yet it was the best date of my life" said Brooklyn.

"And why is that".

"Because of this".

She then pulled down my tie and kissed me.

It was amazing.

Her lips was soft and red.

Her tongue was amazing also.

Could be the best kiss I have ever had in my life.

"I got to go but see you tomorrow at school". Said Brooklyn.

"You too".

When she was out of my peripheral vision, I went behind the cafe and called someone I knew very well.

"Hello". Said the voice from the other side of the phone.

"I need you to gather any information about the Darren murder case and a private investigator looking into it."

"And make it quick".

I ended the call.

His death had been necessary, a means to an end. But now it seemed like his ghost was coming back to haunt me. I needed to make sure no one could tie me to his death, no matter what.

I made my way to a secluded spot, somewhere I knew I wouldn't be disturbed, and waited for the callback. It didn't take long.

"The PI's name is Mark Harrison," the voice said. "He's good, but he's got his weaknesses. I'll send you everything we have on him."

"Thanks," I replied. "I owe you one."

I hung up and leaned back, thinking. Mark Harrison. I needed to find out what he knew, what he had on me, and then I needed to neutralize the threat. One way or another.

Later that night, I found myself outside Mark Harrison's office. It was in a nondescript building, the kind of place where people went to disappear. I watched the door for a while, making sure he was alone. Then I made my move.

The door creaked open, and I slipped inside. Harrison was at his desk, a look of surprise crossing his face as he saw me.

"Who are you?" he asked, standing up.

I was masked up hoodied up wore gloves and done research on the place to know that the security cameras turn off 10 minutes before closing time.

I also learnt that he always leaves 20 minute after everyone else.

I had rope and I had a stole.

I threatened him to hang himself otherwise I would make his death as slow and as painful as possible.

I threatened to harm and kill the rest of his family if he didn't hang himself.

He complied with my demands.

I wrote a suicide note and left antidepressants on the table.

I also forced fed him some of them.

So on 22:42 17th of july 2024 mark harrison was dead

"Dear family

I hope someday you can understand why I made this decision. I have been fighting a battle inside my mind for so long, and I'm exhausted. The weight of my thoughts and feelings has become too heavy to bear, and I can't see a way out of this darkness.

Please know that this isn't your fault. You have been my light, my reason to keep going for as long as I have. Your love and support mean everything to me, but it's not enough to silence the pain inside me. I've tried to be strong, to push through for you and for myself, but I'm tired.

I've reached a point where every day feels like a struggle, and I can't keep pretending that everything is okay. The emptiness, the hopelessness, it consumes me, and I can't find a way to escape it. I'm sorry for any pain this causes you. I wish I could have been stronger, for you and for everyone who cares about me.

Please remember me for the good times, for the moments of joy and laughter we shared. I cherish those memories, and I hope they bring you some comfort. I am at peace now, free from the torment that has plagued me for so long.

Take care of yourself, and know that I will always love you. Find happiness, live your life to the fullest, and carry my memory with you, not as a burden but as a reminder of the love we shared."

Perfect.

I quickly rushed home and I was tired so I went to bed.

Dad didn't come till 12.

And my sister would always sleep at 9.

I done it for us Brooklyn.

He was going to get in the way of us.

So I had to stop him for us.
