"I hate Linda so much!" Tara yelled. "Calm down baby" her boyfriend Jeremy said. "No!" screamed Tara I want her dead!" She turned and hugged him, crying. "I want you to kill her for me." she whispered. "What?" Jeremy reeled in shock. "I know you can" Tara smiled "For me? If you love me J.You do love me dont you?" "O-Of course but to kill another person?" "She is ruining my life! She just beat me again on the cheerleaders! She is stopping me from being the best! I just want her gone! Forever! Please J! I'm begging you!" "Oh God Tara I do love you but..." "Well if you dont then we are over!" She had her hands on her hips,pouting.But she knew he loved her more than anything. She knew he would say yes. "Okay" he whispered "But how?" "I'll think of something" he said "I know she walks home alone every Wednesday night down that alley. I'll make it look like she got mugged." "Thats tomorrow night!" Tara smiled. "Oh J I knew you would!" She threw her arms around him and kissed him. "I love you" "Love you too" he said quietly.

That night Jeremy lay in bed unable to sleep. He had a deep secret. He was in love with Linda. And she with him. Only the last few weeks he had known he had fallen in love with her.And now he had to kill her. He couldnt. When he got her in the alley he would pretend to grab her then tell her it was him and to run and pretend she got away. Later they would discuss more what they were going to do about Tara.

On Wednesday night, ski mask on and a baseball bat in hand, he hid in the dark alley and waited. Tara was in his car on the other side of the alley waiting. He heard Lindas footsteps. His heart was beating so fast. He grabbed her as she walked by and pulled her down. Just as he was about to speak he felt a stabbing pain in his stomach. A wet liquid was oozing down his top. The bat fell from his hand. Linda ripped the ski mask from his face and looked at him in horror and disbelief. "Jeremy?" "Linda. I was trying to help you.Tara wanted me to kill you. But I couldnt. So I wanted to warn you and let you escape." He felt weak all of a sudden. What was going on? "No!" Linda cried. "No!" She got up and ran. Jeremy couldnt move for some reason. He put his hand on his stomach. Blood oozed from a deep wound. By the time the ambulance that Londa had called arrived it was too late. He was dead. And Tara was still waiting in his car on the other side. The plan had backfired. Linda always carried an open weapon while walking alone at night.And she was not scared to use it.

Tara ended up being found guilty for attempted murder. An accessory anyway.And went to juvenile hall. Never to be the best at anything. And Linda lived her life feeling full or remorse and guilt. Her and Jeremy were going to come clean about their love the following week. And now he was gone forever. She vowed to get Tara one day. And she did. Many years later.But she was smart and never got caught. copyright gothgirl 2009
