I signed.

Washing off the blood on my shirt, I used my second hand to dail your number. You picked at the second ring. I pressed the phone against my ear.

"Well, hello beautiful!" I heard you giggle from the other end of the call.

"Hi. " You chirped. " What have you been up to? "

Oh you know, ...just killed someone who tried to get you to sleep with him. No biggie.

That dude really messed with the wrong guy. Whatever his name is... I think he was some guy from your school. I kinda lost count of all I've killed by now. I don't know why guys don't understand: You're taken.

Get your own. But they just have to come for you. Shitty asshole. And now I'm gonna add this to the list. I'm not a bad guy. I'm doing this for you, beck. He had to die. He was an obstacle.

" Nothing much... Would you like to see me? Do you want me to come over? "

" Yes please. I would love that." I washed my hands.

"Okay then, I'll be there in a jiffy. "

You sent a laugh my way, and my eyebrows creased in confusion. "What's so funny? "

" No one says jiffy anymore, silly."

A small smile played on my face. " Really? Okay then. I'll be there in a minute. Better? "

"Hmm hmm. "

"Do you want something to eat? "

"OH, yes please. Maybe, advocado toast from our favorite restaurant? " I smiled crookedly as I remembered the number of times we've been at that restaurant.

"Okay. I'll get it before coming over. I'll see you then. I love you! "

"Love you too. " I sighed happily as I cut the call. Feels so good to finally say that out loud. And even better when you say it back. This is it. This is my happy ending. Nothing could ruin this. Nothing.

~~~Beck's point of view ~~~~

This feeling was all new to me. And I really liked it. I haven't felt like this in awhile. So, I was still getting used to this. Elliott is most probably the best thing that could ever happen to me. I'm really glad to have him in my life.

A goofy smile played on my lips as I snuggled in his bed. I should do something for him. I'm gonna make tonight extra special for him. But first I should probably clean this mess up. His house looked like shit. And he would be so surprised to see I cleaned up the house.

I dragged my lazy self from the bed. I have to clean up before he gets back. That'll surprise him.

I cleaned the living room, packing away all the dirty laundry into the laundry room and neatly folded his clean clothes...and a few of mine.

What? I've been here more than a few times...
Don't judge me.

Anyway, I proceeded to his stack his clothes I'm his closet. I placed the first half in, right before something caught my eye.

It was some sort of rectangular red box. I pulled it out, from under the pile of clothes it was buried under.

What could be in there? Did he get me a gift or something? Hmm. A smile grew on my face as the thought crossed my mind. I sat carefully in the bed before slowly opening the box.

A phone. A phone? Did he buy me a phone? Awwn. But I don't need one. And why does it look oddly familiar? I've seen this before. I definitely have. But where?... Where have I..

Right!

Benji. This is benji's phone. How did Elliot get benjiman's phone? Could he have found it somewhere? And decided to keep it?

I'm no detective, but even that sounds weird in my head. But there must be a reasonable explanation for all of this. I looked deeper into the box.

A wristwatch? Benji's. This is Benji's wristwatch. Okay, what is going on?! Okay, calm down beck. Relax..

When I pulled out the next item, blood rushed to my head. Peache's phone. Peach is freaking dead! How did Elliott get her phone?! I ran a hand across my face and into my hair. I rocked back and forth as I tried my possible best it figure out a reasonable explanation for all of this.

Why did he have all this? Where did her get them?

My hand shook as it dived into the box again. Dr Nicky's phone. Dr Nicky. Dr Nicky is also freaking dead! All of them are dead. I poured out the contents of the box as numerous items clattered in the floor. I recognized a few to belong to some people I've met before. Either some who tried to hit on me. Or some of my classmates from school.

All of this made no sense. I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for all of these. Did Elliott... No! He couldn't. He wouldn't. Right?

I bit my lip, trying to fight back the tears that threatened to escape. Elliott would never do something like this. My whole body shook and my hands wouldn't stop quivering. I felt my head was going to explode. It was hurting really bad.

I need a comprehensive explaination. I can't jump to conclusions.. Maybe he has them for safe keeping. Yes. That must be it. It must be.

My heart skipped a beat when I heard the door open. And it's not in a romantic kinda way. It's more like a OH my God, I'm scared shitless kinda way.

" Honey, I'm here! " I heard him yell.

Trying to calm myself, I breathe deeply. I bended down to pick up somecof the things I dropped. I made sure to include benjiman's, peache's, and Dr Nickey's phones.

With a deep breath, I went to him. "Welcome back. " I stammered. He was busy getting the food ready on the table, as he didn't notice the items in my hands.

"Thank you. You're advocado toast is served my lady. You're lucky. It was the last one--"
He finally looked up.

He went pale immediately. His eyes widened as round as a tomato. And all the blood drained from his face. "Beck? " He whispered.

"Elliot? " I said cautiously as I walked closer to him. "How did you get these? "

"what? " He said hoarsely, his voice dry.

"How did you get these, Elliott? " I repeated.

"I.. I... " He stammered.

"Don't lie to me, Elliott. " I added. "Don't. "

He sighed, staring down at his feet. " I took them? "

I shut my eyes tightly. This couldn't be true. No way this was true. No way. Elliott could never do this. I pulled my lips in a tight line, fighting back tears. "Elliott,... " I inhaled. "Did you kill them? "

He looked my dead in the eye. His intense stare made me want to break down and cry at then. But I held it all together. No, not until I hear it all.
I badly wanted him to say no. More than anything, I wanted him to say no. But against my fears and wishes, I heard him whisper " yes. I did. "

I crumpled inside. To say I was shocked, was an understatement. I've been with a killer. A murderer. Elliott? He killed most of the people most important in my life. My brain couldn't process any of this. My breathing shagged and I started to hyperventilate.

" Beck, Calm down. " He said to me as he tried to touch me. I moved away from his touch as fast as I could. Dropping everything in my hands, I ran as far away from him as possible.

"Stay away from me! You hear me?! Don't you dare fucking touch me! " I screamed.

"Beck, I did it all for you! " He yelled. I scoffed.

"For me? You murdered my best friend! And my ex! And my therapist! " I screamed. " and lots more!... How is that all for me!? "

"They were obstacles, beck. They stood between our love beck."

I stared at him, in utter shock. Now, I get it. Now, I see what's going on here. "You're a phsyco! " I spat at him. " A fucking lunatic! "

"Beck baby, " He said soothingly as he came closer to me. " I mean what I said. Those people? Didn't have a ounce of love for you. "

I scoffed. " How would I know that? Right, I can't... Cause you killed them! "

" Will you listen? They didn't love you. But I do. I'm all you need beck. I'm all you'll ever need."

OMG. I've walked right into crazy town. I can't believe this. " OH my God."

" You've realized, I'm right, right ?" He asked chuckling.

"Oh, I've realized something. I've realized that you're a mother fucking psychopath!! " I screamed. " You killed people, Elliott. And what you thought I would be grateful?! "

He sighed heavily. " Well then, you leave me no choice."
I panicked immediately. My eyes widened at his words. What in bikini bottom is he saying?

"Elliott? "I sad cautiously, backing away slowly.

"I hoped it wouldn't come to this, beck. You forced my hand. "

"Elliott, please? " I practically begged.

His lips tugged into his sorry/sad smile and before I knew it, everything went pitch black.
