It's 5:37pm. I'm walking back to Daniel's house now. I've just left Emma.

I arrive at the door, and I knock. Daniel comes a moment later. He has a smile on his face as he takes me into his embrace.

Ugh, please don't.

"Oh, took your time didn't you?" he asks with a chuckle.

I force a smile.

"Uh.. yeah, sorry," I apologise. Daniel smiles.

"That's alright. How come you were out all day, though?" he asks.

Uh, what do I say?

"I told you, I was doing something bad," I say. Daniel smirks.

"Whatcha do?" he asks.

Uh, now I'm stumped.

I pretend to go into a trance so I can think of an answer. I hear Daniel's fingers click in my ear, but I ignore it.

"Hello?" I hear him say.

I've got an answer. I pretend to click back to reality.

"Hello?" he repeats. I shake my head.

"What?" I say. Daniel chuckles.

"What were you thinking about then?" he asks.

"Just flashbacks. To the bad things I've done today," I lie. Daniel nods.

"So are you gonna tell me what you did?" he asks, taking me inside.

"Uh, I'd rather not," I say.

Daniel places his arm around me. Ugh, no! I hate that.

"You're saying you can't even tell your boyfriend, who you love very much, what you've done today?" he asks, with puppy dog eyes.

"Well, I can't resist those eyes," I lie, sitting down on the sofa.

"Uh.. so?" he asks.

I sigh. Here goes.

"So, today.. it's not a big thing as such, but, y'know, I'm just a beginner. I knocked a couple kids off the swing set. One of them was ok, the other got knocked out," I lie.

That's what Michael did once, the thing that changed him for life.

"Cool, that's what.. Michael did .. when he first.. joined..' Daniel's voice trails off at the realisation that he's talking about Michael.

He stops himself.

"Well, Michael's an ass. Let's not talk about him," he says.

Phew, that was close.

"Yeah. I agree," I lie, for what seems to be the millionth time today.

Daniel switches the TV on. Fresh Prince is on. Yes!

"Oh, keep it on!" I say, waving my hand frantically at the TV.

He places the control down.

"You like this programme?" he asks. I nod.

"Yes! It's my favourite!" I say. We sit and watch it together.

It's the episode where Will goes to school and Ashley wears her clothes like she's some sorta model. I love that episode. It makes me laugh so much. Heehee..

"It's 6:30 now, baby," Daniel tells me.

I nod my head as the end credits of Fresh Prince start.

"Yeah, I know," I say.

I leap up from my chair.

"I'll be back in a few hours," I say.

I decide I'm gonna go see Michael.

"Where are you going now?" he asks. I gotta think sharpish.

"I am.. Going out with Rachel!" I suddenly blurt out.

What? Ugh, I coulda made it believable! I can't go back now.

"Ok, have fun. See you in a bit," Daniel says.

I run out the door. There's no time to text Michael.

I just run to his house.

I knock on the door and Michael opens it. His eyes light up.

"I didn't expect you!" he cries with happiness.

He embraces me tightly.

"I know! I wanted to come see you, I told Daniel I was going out with Rachel, which I realise is not my best excuse ever, but I--"

"Rachel? You told him you were going out with Rachel?!" Michael asks. I nod.

"Yeah. I know it was a bad excuse, it might not be believable, but--"

"Oh baby! You've gotta go get Rachel, make sure she doesn't talk to Daniel about this! If he asks her, you're screwed!" Michael cries in a panic. I nod.

"I know.. I've gotta try find Rachel," I say. Michael pats my back.

"Do you want me to come?" he asks. I nod.

"It could be dangerous, but yes. If he finds out, I don't wanna die without you being there," I say.

Michael nods in understanding. He takes my hand.

"Wait, if anyone sees then maybe.." he removes his grip from my hand and brushes it down his trouser leg.

We head out the door. We run outside. Rachel is there!

"Michael, hide!" I cry.

He hides behind a bush, and luckily just in time. Rachel turns around just as he disappears out of sight.

"Rachel!" I say, a fake smile already dawning on my face.

"Hey, Becky, how ya doing?" she asks.

"Yeah, I'm good, great, yeah. Look, do you wanna go out for a drink tonight?" I ask. She nods.

"Sure! Let's go for a drink! But I need to get my purse first," she says. I nod.

"Sure. That's ok," I smile. I follow her.

"Michael, follow us without being seen xxxxxxx" I text him.

"Ok baby, I'm on it. Loves you xxxxxxx" he writes back.

Me and Rachel walk down the street.

"Uh, Rachel? We went by your house already!" I say. Rachel giggles.

"Silly, I left my purse at Daniel's house. I went over earlier to see him, I must have left it there!" she smiles.

Ok, fair enough.

"Ok," I say, as she takes a key from her bag.

How'd she get a spare key?

She unlocks the door, and we walk inside.

"Baby! I didn't expect you back so soon!" Daniel says, kissing my forehead.

"Yeah, Rachel forgot her purse," I say.

Rachel takes her purse from her bag.

"Oops, looks like it was in my bag all along!" she giggles.

"Oh, ok then. Let's get going," I say, hurrying her out the door.

Rachel stands in front of me, stopping me from getting out the door.

"Why don't we just stay in for the night instead?" she asks.

I take a breath. I need to go see Michael!

"Uh, why not go out instead?" I suggest. Rachel laughs.

"I thought you'd wanna be with your boyfriend," she says.

"Well, that's sweet of you," I say, then turn to Daniel. "Isn't it, Daniel?"

Daniel smiles and nods. "It sure is. Very sweet."

He brings his face in closer to mine. We're about to kiss! Damn! His lips are so close. I can feel the warmth of his skin against me, and the lips won't be long.

I close my eyes, waiting for the torture. But it never comes. I open my eyes.

"But.. her boyfriend isn't here," he says, pulling himself away from me.

"Huh? Yes he is, he's right here, in front of me!" I say, pointing at him.

He laughs a little.

"No, child. He isn't. I know you don't love me. I know you love Michael. And you've hurt me one too many times," he says, dragging me outside.

It's dark out, as it's about 7:30 now. I try to scream.

"Help me! Help!" I cry, hoping someone will be there to help.

I hear Michael's pained voice.

"Becky!" he cries, but his voice is muffled.

What's happening to Michael?

"Michael!" I cry once again.

I'm still being dragged. I feel myself fall to the ground. Muddy, grassy ground. We're at the park.

I try to stand myself up, but Daniel keeps my body down. Michael isn't too far behind, he's being dragged by some people..

Oh god. No! The whole gang of The Jax are here!

They throw Michael to the floor by me, and I immediately let Michael embrace me.

"How did this happen?" I cry, clutching Michael for dear life.

"I don't know.." he says.

I look up to find Daniel in my face.

"I know you don't love me," he growls.

"I do! Why would I pretend to love you?" I ask, my voice cracking from tears.

"I don't know! You tell me!" he demands.

His hands are in his pocket, his face is angered. We're busted.

"It's over," I say to Michael sadly.

"I know. They've found out," he says.

Daniel walks closer to me. He buries his head deep down into my neck.

"And a love bite, too. Not done by me," he says.

How can he even see that?

'"No! You did it!" I lie. Daniel scoffs.

'"I don't think I did, Costello. Just admit it, it's all over now," he says, a sly look on his face.

"Yes, ok! It's all over! But who says I'm not bad, huh?" I ask.

Daniel looks into my eyes.

"I never said you weren't bad. But I bet this will disagree," he says, before removing his hand from his pocket.

Oh my.. This isn't real, surely..? He.. he..

He's got a gun, and he's pointing it at my head.

I'm gonna die.
