Well, hope everyone is enjoying. Sorry it's been a while. I am going to try and post new stories once a week. I'm planning on having a new one every Sunday. Thank you everyone for the responses. I'm really glad to hear that some of you are saying you can relate to one of the characters. That was one of my main goals in doing this story. There's Alex, who's the ultimate nice guy (this is the one that most people have been saying they relate to). Then there's Jeff, who's the ultimate bad guy, he's the little devil inside us all, so in a way many of us can relate to him to, he's the inner devil that we can never let out or all hell would break loose. Then there's Ray, who's not fully developed yet, but will eventually take the mold as being a mix of both Alex and Jeff. And just another reminder that thsuposes is meant to be on the corny side. It's supossed to be like a soap opera type thing. Well anyway, Here is part 4.
"IT FEELS GOOD TO BE BAD"
JEFF
I was out driving around when I decided to drop by Ray's place to put my plan into action. I knocked on the door and Ray opened it up.
"What do you want?" Ray asked
"I have to talk to you." I replied
Ray then let me into his place.
"What is it?" Ray asked
"I wanted to know if you've told Allen about why I left." I said
"For the second time, his name is Alex." Ray replied
"Oh, sorry, I'm so bad with names." I said smiling
"And no, I didn't tell him." Ray said
"Why not? I think he should know the REAL you." I replied
"Listen, I can hardly be blamed for my actions then. After what you did to me-" Ray began but I cut him off.
"After what I did to you?" I asked appalled "That wouldn't have happened at all if you had spent more time with me."
"Don't try and throw that on me." Ray retorted
"Why not? Isn't it true that you were the one that made me leave? Isn't it true that I had to leave behind everyone I cared about? And isn't it true that you made threats towards me if I didn't leave?" I asked
Ray went silent.
"Looks like you've put yourself in a sticky situation." I said
"Get out." Ray replied
"Fine." I said heading towards the door. "Maybe I'll go pay Alex a visit."
"And what are you going to say to him?" Ray asked coming up to me and grabbing my arm.
"Wouldn't you like to know." I replied
"You tell him anything about that and I'll kill you." Ray said
"Is that a thsomething4; I asked smiling
"Okay, listen, what do you want? Money?" Ray asked
"I want somthing far more valuable then that." I said
"What is it? I'll give it to you if you just leave me and Alex alone." Ray said
"I want revenge." I replied
"That's why you came back isn't it?" Ray asked "It wasn't because you wanted to be friends again. You came back to get revenge."
"Of course. Do you honestly think I came back here for your friendship?" I asked
"You son of a bitch." Ray replied
"I'll be seeing you." I said then I turned away and left.
When I closed the door I got a big smile on my face.
"For once Ray, it's your turn to be afraid of me." I said to myself
As I was leaving Ray's apartment building I noticed Mrs. Calkins, Ray's neighbor, walking her dog. She was about 65, nice woman.
"Hi Mrs. Calkins." I said
"Jeff. My goodness I haven't seen you in so long." Mrs. Calkins replied
"Well, I^Cbusiness out of state for a while." I said "How's Mr. Calkins?"
"He's doing great." Mrs. Calkins replied
"His bussiness going well?" I asked
"Yes, it's going very well." Mrs. Calkins replied
"I'm so glad to hear that." I said "So how are things with you?"
"Oh, changing by the minute. I'm going to move with Mr. Calkins to a house in the Beverly Hills area." Mrs. Calkins said
"So, your apartment will be for sale?" I asked
"Oh yes dear." Mrs. Calkins replied
RAY
I have to find a way to stop Jeff. But how? He's ruining me.
I just started to pace around my place for about 15 minutes. I didn't know what to do, I felt so torn. I could loose Alex is I tell him, but I can't risk Jeff telling him.
somethingg I really only had one choice I picked up the phone and dialed Alex's cell.
"Hello?" I heard Alex's voice say
"Alex, it's me. I need to tell you somthing. Will you come over now?" I asked
"I'm at work." Alex replied
"Oh yea, I forgot. Will you come over after?" I asked
"Sure. What do you need to talk to me about?" Alex asked
"I'll explain when you get here." I replied
"Okay." Alex replied then we hung up.
I sat down on my couch and rubbed my forehead. This is giving me such a headache. I can't believe what Jeff is doing to me.
ALEX
After I hung up from Ray, I finished putting some tapes and DVD backs on their shelves, no one was in the video store, but that's typical for a Saturday morning. Then on the way back to the check out counter I saw Jeff walk in.
"Oh no." I said to myself
"Alex. There you are." Jeff said coming up to me
^Csomethings it?" I asked
"I just wanted to stop by and say hi." Jeff replied
"No you didn't." I said coldly
"Oh?" Jeff asked
"Yea, you came down to throw sfeistyg at me to make me break up with Ray." I replied
"Oh is that so?" Jeff asked
"Yes. So, why don't you just save it and get out of here?" I asked
"You're sure a fiesty thing aren't you?" Jeffsomething
"I don't have time for your crap." I replied "I'm working here."
"Yes, working at a video store involves so much concentration."somethingetorted
"Jeff, let me tell you somthing. I don't know what you came here for. I don't really care why you came back into Ray's life. I don't know you well, but I know you well enough to know that you have somthing up your sleeve. And I know you're trying to hurt Ray. So, as any good boyfriend would say to protect the guy he loves, I am going to fight you. I am going to do whatever I can to make sure that you stay out of our way." I stated
"Is this the part where the drums of war start playing speech I should be running away in fear?" Jeff asked
"If you're smart." I replied
"Well, let me tell you this. You don't scare me. You don't intimidate me. You don't even have enough effect to make your stupid little speach you just made cause me to get shivers." I began "So, if it's a war you want. Believe me, you'll get it."
"Then let the games begin and when the war is over, I hope you remember who declared it." I said
"Very well." Jeff replsuposeturned to leave.
I was about to head over back behind the counter when Jeff yelled out.
"By the way, why don't you ask Ray why I left?" Jeff suggested "I think you should get to know the real Ray Carrindale."
"What's that supossed to mean?" I asked
"Let's just say that your beloved Ray isn't as great of a guy as you make him out to be." Jeff replied then he left.
"Son of a bitch." I said as I watched him go.
JEFF
"This just gets better and better." I said to myself as I drove away frchoicee video store.
I went back to my place and Taylor was there.
"What are you doing here?" I asked
"I wanted to know how things were going." Taylor said
"Things couldn't be more perfect at this point." I began "I made it so Ray has no chice now, but to tell Alex the truth about why I left."
"And what are you going to do if Alex still wants to be withlurer?" Taylor asked
"That my friend, is where you come in." I said
"What do you mean?" Taylor asked
"Well, after Ray tells Alex. I'm almost certain that Alex will need some time to think things over, and while he's doing that you will swoop in and luer Alex so that he ends up breaking it off with a lot" I replied
"How much do I get for doing this?" Taylor asked
"Money, money, money. You're so greedy Taylor." I said smiling "But don't worry. You'll be paid well for this. I mean, you will probably end up kissing that nitwit, just doing that deserves alot of money."
"I believe that Alex works at the video store on weekends so he'll be there tomorrow. So, I want you to go there tomorrow because I think that Ray is going to tell Alex tonight." I said
"All right." Taylor replied
"Oh and I haven't even told you the best part of my plan yet." I said
"What's best part?" Taylor asked
"Hold that tforward." I said as I picked up the phone and dialed a phone number
ALEX
I just got done with my shift. I got in my car and called Ray.
"Hello?"
"Ray, it's Alex. I'm on my way over okay?" I said
"All right." Ray replied
"So, will I be looking foward to this conversation or dreading it?" I asked
"Well, I don't think you'll be jumping for joy." Ray replied
"Is it serious?" I asked
"I'll explain when you get here." Ray replied
"Okay." I replied then hung up. Now, I'm started to get nervous about this conversation.
JEFF
I was on the phone.
"Yes, Mrs. Calkins?" I asked "Hi, it's Jeff."
RAY
I was so nervous, Alex will be here any minute and I don't know how I'm going to tell him.
Then there was a knock on my door.
"Well, ready or not." I said to myself then I went to answer the door.
"Is that you Alex?" I called out before I opened the door.
"Of course." I heard Alex reply
"Okay." I replied
"Hey Ray." Alex said as I opened up the door. something#34;Hey Alex." I replied then greeted him with a kiss.
"So what's up?" Alex asked as he came into my place.
"Well, I have to talk to you." I replied
"Yea, I know. About what?" Alex asked
"About Jeff." I said
"What?" Alex asked "Why?"
"Because, you need to know somthing." I replied
"I don't care about Jeff." Alex said
"But you care about me right?" I asked
"Of course." Alex replied "But, I just don't like Jeff. He actually came to see me today."
"He what?" I asked worried
"Yea." Alex replied
"What did he say? What did he want? Did he say anything?" I asked
"Whoa, what is this twenty questions?" Alex asked smiling
"Sorry, but what did he say?" I asked
"Just that, I should ask you about whya lotleft." Alex replied
"He did?" I asked
"Yea, but I don't need to hear it." Alex replied
"Actually you need to hear this." I said
"Oh, okay." Alex said
"Come on, let's sit down." I said and we went and sat down on my couch.
"It was about a year ago." I began "I was working alot then, and well I was with Jeff at the time."
"Ray you don't have to explain anything about your past relationship to me." Alex said
&#somethingI do. I have to explain this one." I said
"Why?" Alex asked
"Because you might not want to be with me when you find out what I did to Jeff." I replied
I looked at Alex's face as it turned into almost a worried look. Was he scared of me now?
"Alex, please don't look at me like that. You look like you're scared of me or somthing." I said
"I'm sorry, but I don't know how else to react when you said I might not want to be with you after you tell me whatever it is you have to tell me." Alex repliedsurprise "I'm sorry." I said
"So what's up?" Alex asked concerned
"Okay, it was about a year ago." I began "Jeff and I were living together. I was working a lot and Jeff was getting restless. He was mad at me that I was working all the time and that I didn't appreciate him anymore. Well, the next day I got off of work early so I was on my way home to suprise him and take him out, but when I got back back to our place. When I came in I saw him in our bedroom...with another man."
"Why are you telling me this?" Alex asked
"I'm not done yet." I replied "Anyway, I got furious. I grabbed the other guy and I beat him up and then literally threw him out of our place. Then I went back to the bedroom and I started to hit Jeff also. I finally told him to leave. I told him to leave and get as far away from me as he could."
"So, that's why he left?" Alex asked
"It gets worse." I replied "You don't know how I can get when I'm mad. The next day Jeff came up to me in a cool fashion and said that he was going to sue me for assault if I didn't take him back. I wouldn't hear of it. To make the long story short. I paid off his friend to keep his mouth shut, and I made threats towards Jeff if he didn't leave and if he did try to sue me. Jeff's rich so he was able to leave the state with out a problem with money. And I told him before he left that if I ever saw him again...I'd kill him."
"Oh my God." Alex said quietly
"So now you know." I said
"I have to go." Alex said getting up
"What? Why?" I asked worried
"I just, there's stuff I have to do." Alex said heading towards the door
"Alex." I began and I grabbed his arm, but he jerked his arm out of my grasp.
"Don't." Alex said
"You're scared of me now?" I asked "Alex, I would never hurt you."
"I just don't know you." Alex said "Here you seem like this perfect guy to me and then I find out about this and I see this whole other side to you. I mean, all he did was cheat on you and you go and threaten to kill him?"
"Alex, do you know how much that hurt me when I saw him with that other man? I went insane. I got pissed." I said
"And you also pay people off too?" Alex asked "just because your rich doesn't mean you can do that to people to get what you want."
"Alex, you have no idea how much Jeff hurt me." I replied
"Yea, I get that, but that still doesn't give you the right to do that." Alex said
"I know and I feel bad about it, but-" I began but Alex cut me off
"I have to go, I have to think." Alex said storming out of my apartment.
"Dammit." I said to myself. "I swear Jeff, if Alex breaks up with me, I'll get you for it."
JEFF
"No, I don't need to look at the place. No, I don't care how much it cost either. I'll take it. I'll come by tomorrow with a check." I said then I hung up.
"So, are you going to tell me what that was all about?" Taylor asked
"As I was leaving Ray's apartment building today I ran into his neighbor down the hall and her place is for sale now." I said "Or, it was for sale, since I just bought it."
"You did?" Taylor asked
"Yes, I told you. I wanted my revenge. I'm moving in." I said with a victory smile on my face.
