THAT NIGHT:

[Victoria]

It was the annual High School auction. I always stayed after to help out. I stayed late after it was over to help clean up the gym. It didn't take me as long as I expected, but it was still completely dark outside. I wasn't looking forward to walking home. Hayley probably would've given me a ride, but stupid me insisted on walking. Big mistake on my part, I should've seriously planned this one better.

As soon as I left the high school, I started on my way home. I took some sort of back route. It was faster, but there was one part about the back way I didn't like. There were barely any people around, and to get to the main road, I'd have to pass through an alley. About halfway to where I needed to be, I couldn't take it. I was freezing. I pulled out my phone and sent a text message to Gabe asking him to come pick me up, and that I'd meet him on the main road's sidewalk. Gabe texted back and said that he was already out doing some things, so he'd be there pretty quick.

I had put aside the thoughts of going through the alley, until I got there.I stood at the end of that dark, shadowy alley. At least it wasn't pitch black. Fortunately for me, the moon was full and really bright, so it was easy to see. I stood there like an idiot for 5 minutes, preparing myself. All the time in scary movies, people pass through alleys and there's trouble. It freaked me out bad.

I took a step forward, making my way through, when a familiar face emerged from the shadows. It didn't startle me, especially since I knew who it was. It was Brendon Urie, a boy who was completely in love with Hayley.

"Where you goin' Victoria?" Brendon asked.

"Home. Home is where I'm going." I replied, very annoyed that I had to deal with Brendon right now when all I wanted to do was go home.

"You know we've always had this...talk, about your best friend." Brendon went on. He was always asking me about Hayley, and if 'I'd give him permission to let him go out with her, only if she broke up with Josh.' I had always said I didn't care, then one day, he told me he wanted to 'Take her away' with him. He had told me how in love he's always been with her, and when he said those three words, I freaked out. I started to be extremely cautious around him. I cut him off. Didn't talk to him anymore, and then he became aggravated. I didn't let him anywhere near Hayley, because believe me, he tried to start trouble with her and Josh. He tried talking to her, everything. I didn't tell Hayley any of this, but I just made sure we avoided Brendon at all times.

"Yeah, I know we've had a talk, practically every damn week, and you know how many times i've told you that she's NOT interested?" I wanted none of this. I wanted to go home. Where the hell was Gabe? I bet he was near here...the main road is right on the other side of this alley.

"Well, I don't need your permission anymore. I'm doing things my way this time." Brendon smirked, and I knew that something wasn't right. I just knew it. What I did know, was that I NEEDED to get out of there IMMEDIATELY. I turned the other way to dart out of the alley, but someone else blocked it. I looked as hard as I could, only to see that it was Ryan Ross. 

"Ryan? I thought you were...dead..." I whispered.

"I'm so sorry Victoria." He whispered. I could see a tear coming down his cheek. What did he mean "I'm sorry."? The next thing I knew, Ryan grabbed me, and Brendon came closer. The only thing I could do was hope Gabe was parked on that street, waiting for me. I instinctively called his name for help.

"GABE! GABE! HELP!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I was being held against my own will, and then, at the end of that alley, I saw Gabe come, and watch in horror at what they were doing to me. Brendon had already stabbed me once or twice, and I just looked there towards Gabe, holding a hand out to him while I was being stabbed kind of like an "I love you" gesture in a weird way. He did the same thing. He was just about to start running to save me, (I don't know why it took him that long) And the last thing I saw was Ryan, knocking Gabe out. Right as he saw Ryan coming at him, he tried to defend himself, but Ryan got to him too quick. The last thing I ever heard Gabe say was "Victoria, I..." and then he was gone. I shouted Gabe's name, and then I knew it. He was knocked out, and I died. I died there on that cold alley ground, and if that was my fate, there was no better way to end it than at least seeing Gabe once more.

THAT NIGHT. Continued

"Fuck, I can't believe I did it!" Brendon laughed and looked down at Victoria's dead body like he had just accopmplished the greatest thing ever. Like he was proud of it.

"You know what Brendon? I hate being a part of your stupid fucking plans! Are you insane? I can't believe you just killed Victoria for a girl that may not even be worth it! Why in the hell would I let you talk me into helping you?! Victoria was a great person, and you just fucked everything up! You made me assist in the killing of one of my friends, and you made me knock out my other friend!" Ryan was angrily shouting at Brendon.

"Whatever Ryan, save it. It's not that big of a deal. We're going to dispose of her body in the dumpster, hide the evidence, and blame it on some other serial killer guy. I have it all planned. And what did Victoria whisper to you down there?" Brendon continued.

"She said she thought I was dead. Everyone thinks I'm dead. I've been living a different life for two or three goddamn years now. I can't even go to our school, because you forced me into hiding for whatever screwed up reason it was of yours. I had to make my parents transfer my school. I'm not going to let you talk me into anything anymore. And I'm also going to come back to our school, tell everyone you killed Victoria, and that you forced me to leave probably just because you thought I'd be a distraction to you and Hayley." Ryan was tired of Brendon's shit. He was always bossing him around and making him do things he didn't want to.

"Whatever Ryan, you're a huge distraction to everything. And I swear that if you tell, I will motherfucking kill you too. And I'll kill you when you don't know it's coming, either. Just like Victoria didn't know. How'd you like that? And You know what?" Brendon kept going.

Ryan knew Brendon wasn't kidding. He knew Brendon was cruel enough to kill him too if he told. "Fuck you, Brendon. That's what. And I guess I won't tell. Have fun disposing the body yourself, I'm out." Ryan was just about to walk away when he heard someone coughing from inside a shadow. Brendon became alert, and reached in and pulled someone out from the dark shadow.

"Alex?!" Ryan looked shocked. "Must be coughing from the dust that gets stirred up out here. I would know, I almost 'blew' Brendon's little 'plan' by giving it away by coughing."

"Yeah, Yeah. What the fuck was that Brendon? Is there anyway to explain it?" Alex asked.

"Alex, what the hell are you even doing here? What did you see?" Brendon replied.

"I saw the whole entire thing. All of it. And I followed you...you were being all weird tonight at the auction, and I had nothing better to do. I shouldn't have come, now I'm scarred for life. And about Hayley? Was this really necessary, man? You could seriously have just talked to her. Or get her drunk. That's easy. At least I was closer to Hayley than you'll ever be Brendon." Alex smirked at Brendon, and Ryan gave Alex a high five.

Listen up, you'll still get your life if you don't say a word. I swear to god I will kill the shit out of you both if you tell. I'm not joking, this is serious. If you want your life, keep it closed. Alright? And no, you don't get it. There's a big plan I have going on here. And no Alex, that's wrong. Put it the other way around. I'll be around Hayley much more now that Victoria's gone, and she probably doesn't even remember a punk badboy like you. You're too simple." Brendon explained.

"Sure. I'll keep your little murder a secret. And that's awesome Brendon, just great. It's on. In the end you'll be fucked, and it will just be Hayley and me. Did you also seriously have to force Ryan to help you with this? He's more scarred for life than I am." Alex looked at Ryan with sympathy, and Ryan was nodding his head, agreeing with what Alex said.

"Whatever, Ryan's a pushover. He does whatever I tell him to." Brendon chuckled in an ominous way.

"Uh, it's not what you think, Alex." Ryan assured him.

"Don't worry about it. Oh, and Ryan, aren't you dead?" Alex just realized that Ryan was here, and not dead like everyone thought he was.

"Long story. Just put it this way- It was Brendon's idea to make me change my life and tell everyone I was dead. Who the hell knows why?" Ryan told Alex.

"Awesome, Brendon. I would have killed you, while you were busy with Victoria, but I just couldn't get myself to do it. I wonder how you did?" Alex tested.

"Whatever, it's all for the same cause. Now why don't you two leave. I've been bitched at enough today." Brendon signaled the hand for Alex and Ryan to leave. And that was it. They left, and Brendon was left to dispose of her, and hide all the evidence of what he'd done.

So this one was short, I just wanted you guys to see what it was like that night. I'm planning on ending this fanfic at Chapter 12, and I will update ASAP! Tomorrow for sure. Sorry this one was short, I didn't want to combine that night with the present day problem :)

 NEXT CHAPTER: Alex, Hayley, and Gabe have to find a way to get out of that house before Brendon gets a chance to find them...
