Chapter 7
Evelyn's POV
'So what do you usually do on a Saturday?' Ash asks me after he comes out of the bathroom dressed in the navy hoodie and jeans as he was wearing before. I try an estimate his age. He looks like he's in his mid twenties if not younger. Maybe like twenty three or something.
'I don't really do anything.' I admit. I usually just stay at home and do nothing.
'What a boring person I'm stuck with,' he sighs, running a hand through his wet, jet black hair.
'Fine thern what do you do on a Saturday?!' I reply, annoyed.
'Kill a few people. Always makes me feel better. And Saturdays I go to a lakeside bar and start up one of those bar fights, squeeze out and watch those drunks destroy each other while the cause of their destruction, moi, is sitting at the edge of the bridge, casually sipping some red wine. Its actually really fun.'
'You are crazy,' I say, getting out of my room to go downstairs. He follows me. This guy is like a duplicate Leigh. I start wondering whether that one apple was enough for him or not I don't know; maybe a murderer has a huge appetite. 'Do you want more food or what,'
He nods. 'How bout a sandwich. With no crust. Please.' He sits on top of the counter.
'Alright. A cheese sandwich?' I get out the bread and cheese.
'Make it grilled.' He replies.
And sure enough I'm following the orders of a serial killer. I am making a sandwich for a serial killer. After I gather all ingredients I start making it just like he asked me to. I think I toasted the bread too much and added too much cheese because it doesn't look like a sandwich anymore.
I hand him the finished product and he starts eating it like it's the best thing in the world. 'Yummy in my homicidal tummy!' He exclaims which makes me laugh. But I guess it wasn't supposed to be a joke because he looked at me in this offended way before finishing off his sandwich.
My arms start to itch again but I can't do anything because of the deal I made. I run my nails, which are a bit long, down them really hard. It leaves a faint mark but it isn't the kind I'm satisfied with. I scratch again, harder.
Ash suddenly stops me. 'We had a deal, remember?' His finger traces a scratch 'Christ, your nails are sharp!'
'Why do you care if I hurt myself or not, aren't you like, a murderer? Aren't you supposed to enjoy seeing others in pain?'
'Only when I'm inflicting it on them. But you... What you do is unnatural.'
'Then why don't you hurt me?'
'I don't want to.' He puts his plate in the sink. 'But if you insist, I could. Only when you need me to do it the most. So like emergencies.'
I move my arms towards him 'This is an emergency.'
'No it's not.' He pushes them away and walks to the door. 'I need to go out.' And he closes the door behind him.

Ash's POV
I still owed Evelyn a phone after I broke her other one. To be honest, I would have bought on second hand but the last time I went to those kind of shops I killed the shopkeeper for not giving me an offer on the latest iPhone. I can't really steal a phone either because then she'd give me a lecture on how 'stealing is wrong'. I nervously walk into the Apple store trying not to look like a murderer.
'Um, excuse me,' I ask one of the clerks 'I'm looking for... a phone...for a girl...' I seriously need to work on my social skills.
'Right this way, sir,' he said, taking me to a display for the iPhone 6 plus. I look at the price, and my heart nearly stops.
'Shit...' I exclaim 'Is this price for real?' My pale skin goes paler than usual 'Do people even have this much money?' The clerk just looks at me as if I'm stupid and I can see he's trying to hold back from bursting out laughing. 'Fine,' I say, taking out my wallet 'I'll buy this one.' I don't usually use my credit card. In fact, I never use my credit card so I'm sure there's enough money in there to buy this monster of a phone.
I leave the store with the phone and a red phone case to go with it. I wasn't sure which col our to buy because I didn't know Evelyn's favorite color so I chose red. Who doesn't like red? I mean, her hair's red so at least it will match with that.
On the way, I buy two chocolate bars as well. I don't know about her, but I love chocolate.

Evelyn's POV
I had finished all my homework yesterday so I had nothing else to do the whole day other than to lay down on my bed and think about how I'd die. At least once or twice in a day you'd sit down and think about that. Or is it just me that does that? Right now, suicide is at the top of my list like it always has been. A couple of days ago, being run over by a car would be second but now it's being killed by Ash. If he decides to kill me. Third on my list is being poisoned because you never know when it could happen. Forth, shot by some random dude with anger issues.
The list goes on forever; all these ideas from being hung by government orders to being assassinated by an ex military soldier. I myself don't know where I get these ideas from. I'm so drowned in my thoughts that I don't even notice a massive phone being waved in my face. I break from my trance and realize it's Ash waving an iPhone at me. 'Here,' he said, handing it me 'I don't owe you anymore.'
'What?!' I exclaim 'Where did you get this from? Did you steal it?!' This new phone looks nothing like my old phone, which was merely a small, hand me down Samsung that previously belonged to my mom before she got an upgrade.
'I didn't steal it,' he replied 'I bought it. With actual money. Money I didn't steal. I don't steal, I kill.' I switch the phone on, amazed that I'm actually holding it in my hands and it's not fake.
'I can't have this,' I hand it back to him 'It's crazy. You have to return it.'
'No, it's not. It's your phone now and you can't return it,' he said the added quietly 'Plus I made the receipt into a paper plane and threw, I mean flew it in the bin so I can't return it even if I wanted to.' I roll my eyes.
'Thanks,' I say 'I'll keep it.' He smiles, sitting down next to me and I here him whisper 'I'm glad you do,' under his breath. I start adding all my contacts to my phone which isn't much, just my mom, a cousin, an aunt Leigh (because she forced me to take her number) and lastly my dad. I haven't talked to him in a while. Scratch that, I haven't talked to him at all since my mom and him divorced and she got the custody of me. What he did was unforgivable, and I don't want to talk to him.
I wondered if I should add Ash's number to my phone, since he did buy it for me. 'Hey,' I get his attention 'Can I get your number?'
'Already on there,' he replies.
'Where?' He points at a contact Weird Dude That Won't Leave My House. 'When did you ad that?' I ask and he says that he did when he was walking to my house and downloaded a lot of games as well. 'I don't need games on my phone, I'm not 7,' but he ignores me and goes downstairs.
'I'm hungry,' he says 'Make me something,' he sits down on the sofa, legs on the coffee table and switches on the TV.
'I'm not your servant,' I answer back 'Go make something yourself. And also we have no food in our house unless you want a fried onion and boiled egg for lunch because all we have is an egg and an onion.'
'Then make an omlette,'
'You make it,' I go back upstairs.
Ash's POV
This stubborn bitch won't make me my lunch. I sigh, getting up from the sofa and deciding to go buy some food from the local grocery. Or just fill up the fridge with stuff I like. Once again, I leave the house in search of a shop that sells food because I'm fucking hungry. I step inside a supermarket, grab one of those trollies instead of a basket because I'm planning on buy a hell of a lot of food.
First things first; I can't live without cake. Cake, cake, cake. And also donuts. The trolley fills with bakery items and I think 'Shit, they can't just eat cake,' so I end up taking one box of each. Then I take the essentials like bread, cheese maybe some other crap like that. After that, I do the unthinkable, and put actual vegetables in the trolley. To calm myself down, I buy more chocolate because seeing those tomatoes make me angry
I've been here for two hours, half an hour shopping and the majority of the time zooming around with my trolley pretending I'm a race car. I've taken at least two items from every single section of the supermarket and figure I might not have enough money in my credit card to pay for it all so I spend the rest of the time stealing coupons from people that aren't paying attention.
In the end, I manage to take 12 coupons and a giftcard for alcohol and end up buying all my stuff including three bottles of beer. Its crazy I can carry so many shopping bags.

Evelyn's POV
It's so quiet in this house and I think it's because Ash isn't here. While, he's gone, I play around with my new phone. I randomly start texting my mom because I'm bored and it looks kind of stupid:
Evelyn: Hello
Evelyn: hi!!
Evelyn: mom????
Evelyn: this is my new phone BTW
Evelyn: I got an upgrade
Evelyn: it's complicated
Evelyn: MOM
Mom: sorry, hon, I was busy
Mom: got to go now bye
Evelyn: Bye.
And then I start texting Ash for some reason. It's the same, just random words and no reply...
Evelyn: Ashley
Evelyn: are you on a killing spree?
Evelyn: Ashley?
Evelyn: Ashleyyyyyyy
Weird Dude That Won't Leave My House: Don't call me that
Evelyn: Where are you?
Evelyn: ??????
Weird Dude That Won't Leave My House: Shopping
Evelyn: really
Weird Dude That Won't Leave My House: yes
Evelyn: Oh
Evelyn: For what?
Weird Dude That Won't Leave My House: Knives :-)
Evelyn: k
Evelyn: bye
Weird Dude That Won't Leave My House: I'm at your door.
Weird Dude That Won't Leave My House: open the door.
I hear a loud noise downstairs.
Weird Dude That Won't Leave My House: never mind
A few minutes later, Ash comes into my room. He looks exhausted for some reason and jumps onto my bed. 'Hey!' I get off the bed 'Get off!' But his face is in a pillow and he doesn't get up. 'What's wrong?'
'Never have I done this much shopping in my life,' his voice muffled from the pillow.
'Did you buy a surplus of torture devices or something?'
'You'll see,'
