This Is Life (Part 9)

[Frank]
That bastard, he had no right to say that, I mean I no he was only joking but that went too far. I walked back to the bus. The note was still on the table. Oh god what have I done? I left because if Gerard? No, no, no that wasn't suppose to happen I got back off the bus to help the others never again will I let my emotions get the better of me.

[Gerard]
I didn't no where the hell I was, Mikey stayed behind me keeping an eye out in case anyone was to sneak up behind us. “Maybe I was wrong about this place” Mikey whispered. I didn't say anything. “NO STOP PLAEASE! YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN'T HURT HIM!” I recognised that voice. It was Nephthys. “Gerard over here, I found them” Mikey whispered. I ran to the door. I saw the three guys. If I remember correctly they were called, Ed, Tim and Fred. Ray stayed still trying not to move, the one known as 'Ed' was holding a gun against his head, while Nephthys continued to try and loosen the ropes. “Ed please why are doing this?” Nephthys cried. “What has MCR ever done to you.” Ed looked away in sorrow. “You'll find out soon enough” I felt a strong pair of hands grab me from behind I looked over to find Mikey. He wasn't there. The guy who grabbed me threw me onto the floor and held me down. Ed came up close to me and pointed to gun at me. It was my teenage years all over again. “Ed please. Please just tell me what I've done.” I tried to get back up but the other guy wouldn't let me. “You killed my sister” he said looking at me with daggers in his eyes. “What?” I whispered.

[Mikey]
I continued to run, I managed to make it out of the building without anyone catching me I saw Frank walking down the street. “FRANKIE!!” I yelled and ran up to him he hugged me really tight. “Where's Gerard and Ray? Please tell me they're alright” he seemed concerned. “Don't worry” I said calming him down. “They're still alive... but... I don't no how long for” he looked at me, he seemed worried. “Come on lets go” he said slapping me shoulder and ran back inside. “Frankie wait” I ran after him.

[Gerard]
I killed his sister? No. Never. I never killed anyone. The guy holding me down grabbed my wrists really tight. “You bastard let me go” I yelled. Trying to loosen to guys grip. Ed placed the gun under my chin, his finger rested on the trigger. “So you think killing me will bring your sister back?” I said looking up at him. “because it wont you no.” he looked away. “She was fine, she was healthy until she started listening to your music” he walked up to Nephthys. “No! MCR didn't kill your sister. You did.” we all turned around it was Tim. “How dare you. Whose side are you on?” Ed looked wrathful. “I see that now, I knew your sister, only 17 years old. All she wanted was to be with you, you were no brother to her. She didn't hang herself because of some band she listened to, she hung her because of...” before Tim could finish his sentence Ed pulled the trigger on him. I couldn't believe it. The second the gun fired I heard sirens coming from outside. “Now look what you've done” Nephthys said with a smile on her face. The rest of Ed's friends ran for it. Ed never said a word he just looked at me and smiled he placed the gun into his mouth. “No Ed please don't” I shouted. But it was too late he already shot himself. “Good riddance” Nephthys said, smiling at his dead body. “YOUR ALIVE!” Frankie ran in shouting, followed by Mikey who was out of breath. “You need to exercise more bro” I laughed he just stuck up his middle finger at me and then that sweet smile came to his face he ran up to me and helped me up off the floor. I looked across the room Frank untied Ray I went to untie Nephthys, she looked at me but then looked away. “What's wrong?” I asked. She ignored my question and walked off hiding the bite on her neck. I went to go get her but Mikey pulled me back. “Leave it bro, clearly she's not worth it” I felt sorry for the girl. “Frank, please I'm okay, will you get off me?” I turned round to look at Ray. “Need help mate” I laughed. “No, I'm never letting you go” Frank held on tight to Ray we all laughed. “Come on, lets get back to the bus before dark” said Mikey. We all left the building, as we stepped out we looked at all the police cars, we saw all of Ed's friends being taken away. They deserved what was coming to them. I heard a police officer yell “get in there and shut up” I turned around he was forcing Nephthys into the police car, she was in handcuffs I ran up to the officer to ask what was going on. He just looked at me and got into the car “Why don't you ask HER yourself?” I looked into the window she refused to make eye contact with me. “I'm a terrible person” she whimpered. “Why?” I asked. She looked up at me holding back her tears “because I killed Ed's sister, Tim was sticking up for me I didn't mean for anyone to get hurt especially not your guys.” I didn't no what to say only “why did you kill her?” she looked up at me and smiled. “Lets just say Tim fancied her because she was young, smart and pretty. She was everything I wasn't, she liked Tim back too. She had to die. I needed her out of my life she was going to ruin everything.” the smile on her face grew bigger as she remembered killing the young girl. The car drove off. I looked back at the guys, I ran up to them and said “Come on guys we got a show tomorrow” everyone smiled and we walked back to the bus. “So what happened to Nephthys?” asked Ray. “I don't want to talk about it. Coffee anyone?” I tried to change the subject. Ray laid on the sofa playing the tune to I'm Not Okay on his guitar Frankie joined in. Nephthys never crossed my mind again, I tried not to think about her. Shame. She seemed like such a nice girl, I guess don't judge someone on the first day of meeting them you never no who they really are inside.
