Chapter ONE HUNDRED! I was left there, in the interview room for god knows how long, until there was a knock at the door and Luke, of all people, poked his head around. I would have stood up and guy hugged him, but.. I couldn’t. 'You have 10 minutes’. A voice announced before the door shut again. He just folded his arms and glared at me. ‘What are you doing here?’ I asked, genuinely confused. He shouldn’t be here, he couldn’t risk it! ‘I called Damon because-’ ‘It doesn’t fucking matter why you called Damon!’ He snapped, cutting me off and taking me a little of guard, though his anger was justified. ‘I don't want to get you involved in my shit’. I told him, my tone low, ‘I can't discuss anything with you, they could be listening’. I told him. He looked around the room. ‘What have you done? Why are you here?’ He asked, moving to sit down. I thought of how I should word it, I wanted to be careful not to let on that Luke, as well as my other friends, had full knowledge of everythin
Chapter One Hundred and One ** A Few Days later ** The days were already starting to become repetitive. Each day that passed, they had more and more information against me. From what they say, I can imagine that it will just be any day now that they start digging and find my homemade cemetery. But I had come to accept that I wasn’t getting out of here so... Why worry about it? The day starts by being woken up to blinding bright lights at 6 am, a shitty breakfast, and then nothing else until they come and take me for yet more interviews. Apart from that, I spend all day every day in my Cell. When it comes to my interviews, I just refuse to answer any questions, I give the same ‘’No Comment’’ answer over and over again, for hours, to everything they ask. I knew it was driving them mad, they even brought in a new interviewer, Mrs Olivia Mayfield. Though as soon as I saw her, I knew this was just another mind game tactic... Because she looked like Ella… and they clearly know by now
Chapter One Hundred and Two Luke’s Point of View Mike just left, leaving all of us sitting here, speechless. I turned to my friends who looked just as concerned as I did;‘We can’t let him do this!’. I told them, and they just shared a look but didn’t answer me, ‘Come on, you can’t honestly think that it's ok for us to let him confess… to everything?!’ How could they think it was?! ‘Well... I mean, he created this issue. He's impulsive and selfish, he was outright nuts for months and months and now he has to deal with the consequences’. I can’t honestly believe what I was hearing! ‘He’s our brother!’. ‘Was!’ Joey interjected, ‘He was our brother. Now he’s just... A maniac’. I just shook my head in disbelief. ‘I can’t actually believe you out of all the people, are the one trying to defend him. This is a win-win situation for everyone’. ‘No, it's not!’. ‘Win-Win-Win’. Damon pointed between the three of us and it was clear what they meant was it might be a win-win-win for us, but
Chapter One Hundred and ThreeLuke’s Point of View **The Next Day**I didn’t sleep at all last night, but I was contacted and given an appointment time to go and see Mike, so that was something I suppose. I just kept tossing and turning, and just when I thought I’d fall asleep... I didn’t. ..but I was up, dressed and at the Station early and on time for my appointment. I texted Peyton and told her that I was heading in and I’d call her afterwards before turning my phone off and heading inside.Sitting, waiting for Mike, I started thinking about what exactly I was going to say to him. I mean, he made his feelings perfectly clear yesterday but I can assume, the fact they are still allowing me to see him today, that he hadn’t confessed yet. The word being ‘’Yet’’. I still had some time to try and convince him otherwise. Only a few minutes later, the door opened and in came Mike. He didn’t seem surprised to see me, I suppose with an official meeting, he was told who had come to visit h
Chapter One Hundred and Three Michael’s Point of View Sitting in my cell having just left Luke, I picked up the pen and pieces of paper that the Guards had allowed me to have and started writing letters to each of the guys... Peyton, the kids... I even wrote one for Ella.. maybe Luke can take it to her grave for me… Thinking about it, a pang of guilt ran through me. To this day, I have never been to the place where they buried her. I wanted to go a few times over the past year, but I just couldn’t bring myself to go. I poured my heart and soul out into each letter, writing down all my apologies and trying to explain my actions the best I could... But of course, knowing they will probably be read by the Police before I had the chance to post them, I didn't put anything in them that could shift suspicion onto the guys. Sitting here, writing everything down made me truly realize how much of a complete and utter asshole I was to them. No wonder none of them, except Luke, wants anythi
Author Note; Trigger Warning, this chapter contains suicide. While I won’t be describing it in detail, it still might be upsetting to some people if you are sensitive to that. Please don’t read if you are offended or affected by that. Also, remember this isn’t fact, this is a work of fiction I have made up myself, some information might not be factually correct but for the sake of the story, this is how it's going. Enjoy!! ---------------------------------------------------------------Chapter One Hundred and Four** A Year Later **Michael’s Point of ViewMy life was just the same thing every single day. I wake up, I have breakfast, I get some time in the ‘’yard’’ which is exactly what it sounds like and then I go back to my cell. I spent 23 hours of the day cooped up in a little eight by six room. At least I don’t have a room mate, I'm too ‘’dangerous’’... apparently. This was my life, for literally the rest of my life, in a way, I kind of hoped for the death penalty but because
Chapter One Hundred and FiveMichael’s Point of View There was a loud ringing and beeping and a bunch of other very annoying noises that I couldn’t seem to shut off no matter how hard I tried. I knew my eyes were closed, but it was almost like they were weighed down. I couldn’t open them to see my surroundings but one thing was clear… I fucking failed. It's funny, I was a serial killer, but I couldn’t successfully kill myself? How ironic. …but one thing was obvious, I was in complete pain. Everything hurts. My arms, my legs, my stomach, my head, just everything, which was strange, but god knows what happened after I blacked out. Eventually, the weight keeping my eyes closed felt like it was starting to fade and I was able to open them ever so slightly and instantly, a bright white light invaded my vision. My eyes shifted around the room and I took in my surroundings as my sensitive eyes adjusted to the light. It was a hotel room, it was clear from the sterile colours and machines
Note: So, everything was all in Michael’s head while he was in a coma!? For those of you who have read the original version of this story would have already known that, but I am extending the book ever so slightly and adding a final twist at the end so! Keep reading to find out what that is! Also, for those wondering, there aren't many chapters left now :) Enjoy! -----------------------------------------------------------------Chapter One Hundred and SixA few weeks had passed and I was getting settled back in at home. It was so weird. What happened wasn’t real, but it felt real enough that having everyone back in the same house was just.. Strange. Having Ella and Thomas around was weird but... In a nice way. I wasn’t allowed to come home for another 10 or so days after I woke up, the Doctors wanted to make sure there was nothing seriously wrong. My head pain got really bad during that time though, which is why I stayed for 10 days instead of the 7 they said, but either way, I’m h
Chapter One Hundred and Seventeen -- Final Chapter! ** Jenson’s First Birthday **Michael’s Point of View Maybe throwing a big family party and having family come in from out of town wasn’t the best idea, considering we hadn’t long moved into our house, but how many times do your children turn one? Today was a special day and while it would be ALOT of hard work, it would definitely be worth it. I was in the kitchen making breakfast while Ella was up in the shower. ‘Do you want some toast?’ I asked my very happy birthday boy. He looked up at me and beamed a smile, nodding before he continued playing with his toys on the floor. Another thing I loved about this house was the large open plan kitchen, it meant we could cook food while Jenson played in his toy room, which, technically was the dining room, but it worked so, meh! I quickly made him his food and went over to put it on his tray before going back to cooking the bacon for mine and Ella’s sandwiches. As I was finishing them
Warning: This chapter contains some detailed sexual content. Also, after this chapter, there is only one left but there is a bit of a time jump. Enjoy! ___________________________________________________Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen Dinner was absolutely lovely and now we were all just sitting around, chatting about anything and everything. Jenson was sleeping in Mike’s arms, and Kacey was in Luke’s. Me and Peyton were having a glass of mine. It was really nice to just sit and relax with them. ‘So, how hungover did you get in Vegas then?’ She asked. I couldn’t help but laugh, ‘Oh, THAT hung over, huh?’ I nodded. ‘You have absolutely NO idea’. We shared another laugh, which caused Kacey to sturr. ‘Why don’t you take the kids upstairs to bed?’ Peyton suggested. ‘Oh, I’m sorry, would you like us to head home, give you some time to chill out, just yourselves?’ I suggested it, but she shook her head. ‘No, No honestly, it's fine. We have the cot still set up for Jenson, so no har
Chapter One Hundred and Fifteen Ella's Point of ViewThe rest of the day crawled by but honestly, I was so annoyed now I just didn't care. Peyton had really gotten under my skin with her selfish comments. She just couldn’t be happy for me because I had something first... For once in our lives. Absolutely ridiculous. Mike poked his head around the door to look at me. I had decided to just come into the lounge and relax with a book. Jenson was on the floor in front of me, happily playing. ‘Hey, I'm gonna take Jenson to the park, do you want to come?’ I looked out the window, it was looking a little gloomy. ‘Is that a good idea? It looks like it's going to rain’. He just smiled and walked over to the baby, picking him up. ‘If it rains, we will come home, Come on, be fun’. I just shrugged. ‘I’m just not really feeling it, baby, Why don't you take him?’ He frowned but just shrugged, mumbling a ‘’fine’’ and walked out of the room. I sat there for a moment, suddenly feeling guilty. Sig
Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen Ella’s Point of View We were on the road home, our weekend away was over, but it was without a doubt the best time I've ever had, obviously not counting times I spent with Jenson. We were about 2 hours from home, but we were making good time. I looked down at my hands, playing with my wedding ring. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about sharing our news with the family. Mike noticed me messing with it and reached over to take my hand. ‘Don’t worry, I’m sure it will be fine, and like I said, we will just have a big party to celebrate’. I sighed and nodded. ‘I know, You’re right, you’re right’. I smiled, not wanting to sour the mood or the feeling of Love in the air between the two of us. ‘I can’t wait to get home and see Jenson’. I smiled again. I loved hearing Mike gush over our son, it was the cutest thing ever. ‘Me either!’. Mike focused back on the road while I started playing around with the stereo, and hooked it up to my phone to pla
Chapter One Hundred and Thirteen The trip was going great but it was going by so fast! Yesterday we explored and did some sightseeing, had an amazing lunch and dinner, went to the concert, stayed out late getting drunk and then stayed up most of the night making love in the hotel room. Today was a bit more chilled out. We slept in and cuddled, ordered room service and now... We were at the wedding chapel, waiting to get married! I was so nervous but so excited! Sure, I was a little sad that our family and friends weren’t with us but at the same time... I liked that. It was a lot more personal. A super special moment just between me and Mike, and we had already agreed that we were gonna throw a nice, big party once we got home and treat that as a sort of wedding reception. …I just hope Peyton and my parents aren’t mad at me for them not being included… It seemed to be an ongoing rotation. One couple went in, afew minutes later, they came out and another couple went in, and so on a
Note: This chapter contains detailed sexual content. ------------------------------------------------------ Chapter One Hundred and TwelveElla’s Point of View Walking down the strip after dinner, Mike had his arm wrapped over my shoulders, and mine was around his waist. It was night, so all the lights were on and it was beautiful. ‘I miss Jenson’. I blurted out, he squeezed my shoulder;‘Yeah, I do as well, but it's nice to have some alone time, isn’t it?’ I nodded, agreeing. Yeah, it really was. ‘So, do you want more kids in the future?’ His question caught me a little off guard, it was just so..out of the blue and random, but I couldn’t hide the smile that crept onto my face thinking about it. ‘Well, I mean… Do you?’ I stole a look up at him and he was smiling too. Well, that's a positive sign. ‘I do. I wanna have a million kids with you’. I couldn’t help but laugh, and he joined in, ‘Ok, maybe not a million, but maybe another one or two wouldn’t be so bad’. ‘Can you believe
Chapter One Hundred and Eleven*** A Few Months Later ***Ella’s Point of View‘Ok, are you super, super sure about this?’ I asked for what felt like the millionth time. I felt so guilty leaving Jenson at home while me and Mike went on a weekend trip away together, but I felt worse considering she was pregnant and they already had Kacey to look after, but she just rolled her eyes. ‘Mike, come and get my sister!’. She called over my head as he and Luke continued to pack the bags into the car. ‘Yes, they are super sure, stop worrying’. He called back, clearly already knowing what I was asking. Me and Pey shared a smile. Honestly, I was really looking forward to this weekend. We were only going a few hours away. There was a concert in Vegas that both me and Mike wanted to go to, and Peyton had offered to have Jenson so we could go. Plus.. we haven’t had any time to ourselves in a while and it would be nice to just.. Reconnect a little. Don’t get me wrong, things were perfect between u
Chapter One Hundred and TenElla’s Point of View The sounds of arguing woke me up from my deep sleep. I felt like I had been hit by a truck. Grabbing my phone, and squinting at the sudden bright light, I checked the time. It wasn’t even that late, I had only been asleep for about 2 hours, but it felt way, wayyy longer. I just laid there for afew moments, before I had to get up to go to the toilet. Typical, always when you’re the most comfortable… Once I was out of the bathroom, I headed downstairs, in search of the reason for the shouting. Noone really noticed me at first, and the argument seemed to be between Joey and Damon. Mike and Luke were sitting on the sofa with the kids, and Thomas was sitting on the arm chair, scrolling through his phone. The guys seemed to be arguing at a million words per minute so I had no idea what was actually going on; ‘Hey?..’ No one answered, ‘HEY!?’ I shouted louder, getting their attention. ‘What the hell is going on?!’ I swear sometimes it was
Chapter One Hundred and Nine Ella’s Point of View **A few Days later ** I laid down on the bed, feeling completely exhausted. I was able to come home from the hospital yesterday after only a day in. I just wanted to come back home and get settled and since the birth was relatively straight forward the Doctors had absolutely no issue with that, which was good. Peyton and Luke had been around a bit, but they knew when to go home and give us space. Same with Joey and Thomas, Damon however, had completely vanished. God knows what he was up to these days, he had been acting hella weird, but no one else seemed to have noticed… or they had and just weren’t mentioning it, and I didn’t feel it was my place to say anything. I closed my eyes, just feeling like I could sleep for a million years at this point, but I heard a chuckle and looked up, seeing Mike standing there holding the baby, smiling down at me. ‘See that, your mummy is so tired, shall we let her sleep? Shall we? Yeah, co
