Until Death Do Us Part

Lexi, Cameron and Alex were walking home from school one Monday afternoon. "So, Cam, how was your weekend alone with Brett?" asked Lexi, seeming quite curious about the answer.

"How do you think? The two of us alone in the woods in a cabin? I mean, come on, as soon as we got there we claimed the bed ours, if you know what I mean." Lexi seemed somewhat disappointed in the answer she reseived.

"God Cami, you guys are truely the defintion of fuckheads." And they all laughed as the dispurst into the own seperate paths home.

On the way home, Lexi's cell rang and on the screen it said "Brett." "Hey baby."

"Hey Lex. I'm extremely sorry that I couldn't see you this weekend. You know how Cami is she always wants to be around me."

"I know, it's alright. Listen, are you still coming over tonight because my parents are out of town and you could stay the night."

"Of course baby, but Cami wants me to come over to her place for a couple of hours, but I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Ok, then I'll see you then. Bye."

"I love you, bye."
-------------------------------------------------
Cameron heard a knock at her front door and before she even opened it, she had anger burning through her blood. "Hey baby, how are things?"

"Brett, don't 'baby' me, we have somethings to discuss. Come into the living room."

Panic shot through his body, "Oh crap, does she know? How could she know? Jesus H. Christ, crap," he thought as he sat on the couch.

"Ok, I'll cut straight to the chase. I know you've been screwing around with Lexi for four of the eight months that we've been dating. I want to know why, why Brett? We have been through so much together. I almost had a kid because of you." She tried to stay as calm as possible as he thought of his answer. "Answer me!"

"Ok Cami alright, just calm down for a second and let me explain."

"Explain, explain what? How you tell me you love me, but cheat on my almst every weekend with my best friend. Someone who I so close to, I mean couldn't you keep yourself in your pants. God your so stupid.I've gone through so much trouble with my friends and family because you. God I should have dumped you when screwed up the first eight times."

"See there you go again, blaming everything that goes wrong on me. What did I do to cause drama between you and your friends? Nothing, it's your choice to ditch them for me. I didn't force you. And your family is your own problem, I didn't do anything that has to dow with your family. And the whole kid thing, you wanted to have sex too, I didn't force you."

"Well I'm sure you'll be lad to know that we're having one, and I'm not having another abortion. Plus, neither of us have the money to pay for one."

"Well, I can fix that."

He started to walk away, leaving Cami with a puzzled look on her face and when he returned, he had sharp, shinny knife in his hand. He wrapped his hand in her hai and yanked, pulling the knife up to her throat. "Don't make a fucking sound. Start walking."

He walked her into the garage where he started to rummage around. He turned to Cami with tears streaming down her face; never has she been so scared. "Where's your duct tape." Silence, only making him agrivated. "Where is it?!"

"Like I'm going to tell you, you asshole." She brought her hand up to slap him, but he was too quick. He brought the knife up, just in time for her to hit it and make a deep gash in her hand that started gushing blood. She screamed and fell to her knees. "It's in the top drawer of the tool chest."

"Thank you for cooperating," he said as he grabbed the tape. "I'll let that scream go, only because I know that will be the last one." He took her cut hand into his. "Aw baby, I didn't think you'd be that stupid. Well, I'll fix this." He wrapped some duct tape around he deep gash, "There we go, now where was I. Oh yes. Remember, don't make a peep," he said with furry in his eyes.

He tapped her mouth shut, her wrists behind her back and her ankles together. "You won't have to walk, I'll take you back into the house." He started to drag her by the collar of her t-shirt into the house, down the hallway, and into her bedroom, where he slammed the door shut.
-------------------------------------------------
Lexi is talking on the phone to Alex. "No Alex, I think he's ending it tonight..Oh please, he could never choose her over me..He told me he'd kill her for me if he had too..No I think I'm done with this one, he was too easy to catch..Why should she get all the guys? She's just a blown up sized barbie..I know that's why I did what I did, or shall I say doing." She laughed as she hung up with phone, awaiting Brett's arrival so she could end this.
-------------------------------------------------
Brett stands over her, watching the tears fall down her face. Finally, she felt the pain that she has been putting her through the entire eight months,but he loved her, somewhat, so he couldn't dump her. He had to kill her.

"Now, baby, I know you want one last good fuck before we end this, but I can't do it while there's a living child inside of you." He ponders for a moment to add to her suspense, but he knows what he's going to do. "I know."

He took his hand and ran it down her face, down the side of her neck, over her left boob, and down to her stomach. He stopped there and gave her a sly grin. He started to beat her, punching her left and right until his knuckles were sore.

"I don't think it's living anymore, so we can have that fuck now." He uncut the duct tape around her ankles and started to unbutton her pants. He unzipped the zipper and Cami knew she had to do something.

She took her leg and BAM! She slammed it straight up where it hurts. He fell over, curled into a ball of pain. She got up and kicked knife away. She ran to the kitchen and did her best the grab a knife with her hands still behind her back. She got one and as she was cutting the tape around her wrist, she heard him slam the door against the wall. "Oh, now you will pay for that one sweetheart. I hope you like you're own blood because you'll be seeing a lot of it." Finally, she got the tape uncut and the tape off of her mouth, just as he was slowly walking in the kitchen.

"Well, I'm proud of you Cami. You have the brains to think of that. I didn't think you could."

"Don't move Brett. I swear, I'll stab you if you come any closer."

"Come on Cami. We both know you could never stab someone, not if your life depended on it. Actually those are your exact words." He slowly started walking towards her. "You don't have the balls."

"Yeah? And neither will you if you come near me." He continued to walk, closer and closer. "Brett stop moving, back up. I swear to God, if you keep walking you're going to regret it."

"Come on baby. I love you and I need you. I know I'm a little crazy, but I can get help. So please, put down your knife and I'll put down mine. Please?"

She ran for the door and when her hand touched the knob, she felt a sharp pain in her back. He'd stabbed her and was slowly pulling it out. She arched her back and fell down to the ground.

"You are quite stubborn, and for that you will pay." He took her knife and sat on her stomach staring straight into her eyes. "I love you. Please suffer for me the way I suffered for you." He took one hand and covered her mouth as he sang "Hush Little Baby" to her. She started to cry more now as he took a knife and made deep cuts along the sides of her faces. He, then, looked her into the eye and said "Until death do us part, isn't that what you wanted?"

She could barely hear, see or move for that matter. The pain was too much. The last thing she saw was Brett bringing the knife down onto her chest, before it went black.

He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and dialed a number. "Hey Lex..Yeah I'm heading over there now..No, don't worry, we won't have to worry about Cami anymore."
-------------------------------------------------
"Hey Brett, you only took forever." She looked down at his shirt. "Holy shit, what happened?"

"Oh I slammed on the brakes to avoid a turtle and hit my nose of the dashboard. Don't worry about it."

"Ok as long as you're alright. Let's go into the living room and talk for a bit." He looks worried and she tried to reassure him with a quick, delicate kiss. As they sit on the couch, quilt passes over her face. "You know that Cami and I are best friends and I care about you, but I think it's best that we are no more than that."

He looks at her, stunned. "Are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me? Jesus Christ Lexi. I would do anything for you. I mean I just killed Cam for us. Don't you-"

"You did what?! What the hell is wrong with you? Holy fuck Brett. You are seriously fucked up. Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! I've got to do something. I've got to call the cops."

She ran towards the phone, but Brett slammed her to the wall first. "Don't even think about it. Now me and you, we're going to leave and go far away. We'll change our names and live happily ever after. Any problems?" He slowly pulled the knife out of his back pocket and held it to her throat. She started to cry and she paniced. She slammed him in the balls and ran up the steps and to her bedroom. Before she slammed the door she heard, "Shit. God why does everyone do that?"

She locked the door and grabbed her cell phone. "Hello? Yes, holy shit. Um, my boyfriend just killed my best friend and now he's trying to kill me." She gave them the address and hung up, just before Brett kicked the door in.

"If I can't have you, no one can." She screamed and he grabbed her and pushed her against the wall. "I hate to do this, but.." He sliced her throat. "Until death do us part, right Lex."

The sirens started wailing. "Shit I can't go to jail. What the hell am I going to do." He looked at the knife and contemplated for a moment. He looked at Lexi one more time and said, "I'll see you in hell." And with that he stabbed himself.

THE END
