After getting fucked by Chloe, Peter is now back in his own room. Logan is out so he has it to himself. It gives him the time and space to think about what just happened. Chloe blackmailed him into fucking her, yes. But he didn't put up as much of a fight as he should have. He is now feeling incredibly guilty for acting so slutty just a week after one of his close friends died. Maybe Chloe is right about him. Only a whore wouldn't be able to keep his boxers on after a death of someone so close to him. He might have always been a slut unknowingly.
Suddenly, he gets a call. Picking it up, Peter is surprised when the caller then identifies himself as a police officer. He waits for the cop to say something and then his blood turns to ice. "The body of a girl named Mandy has been found in the campus parking lot. Your phone number is at the top of her contact list." He was walking to grab something when he picked up the call and nearly stumbles over his own feet in shock. He thought she was in her dorm room like she promised him he would be, and that she would be safe there since no killer would be mad enough to attack in a college dorm with a bunch of 20 years old footballers strolling about.
After talking with the officer for some minutes, he finally hangs up. The boy starts crying, trying to find tissues to dry up his eyes. With blurry vision, he leaves the room. Some of the people in the hall who saw the body and knows how close the two of them were offers him their condolences. Peter thanks them as he heads over to Lisa's room, thinking about how he is going to tell her. Then he realizes the cops might have called her before or right after they called him. A selfish part of him hopes he doesn't have to be the one to tell her this tragic news.
When he gets to the room, the boy is shocked by what he sees. Lisa is inside and on the couch, clutching her right arm. She has a massive cut, with blood flowing out of it. The brunette winces and tries to give him a reassuring smile as he enters, closing the door behind him before rushing over to see how she is doing. "What the hell happened to you?" he asks. "You said you didn't need me to stay on you all the time and that you were hanging out with some other girls, so how did this happen?"
Lisa groans in pain, making Peter hurry over to inspect her wound. It isn't deep but is long and causing serious blood loss. Fortunately, Lisa's dorm room has a first aid kit and she's done a good job patching her up. Peter is still insisting that she goes to the hospital with him though. "I'll be fine. That bastard only grazed me, unlike what happened to Mandy though." At the Mandy part, she starts sobbing and Peter hugs the girl, being careful not to touch her injury, out of fear that he would hurt her more.
He can't believe what just happened. It was hard enough losing Becky. But now Mandy is dead too and Lisa almost died as well. This is nearly enough to break him completely. Peter doesn't know what he will do if he loses all of his friends. Just the thought of it makes him feel like earth has been yanked out from under his feet. "Shhhh, Lisa. I am right here with you. It was my fault. I shouldn't have left them out of my sight for so long. I should have her there for them when it happened." He blames himself for his friends' deaths, even though it wasn't really his fault.
Lisa strokes his cheek gently and she hugs him back, trying to stifle her tears. She just looks so vulnerable in his arms right now. All Peter could do is try his best to comfort her. He would kiss her on the forehead but it would be quite inappropriate given that he has a thing going on with Chloe. "Why don't you stay in your room with a few other guys while I go out and buy you something to eat?" he asks her in a gentle voice. He is hurt by the shocking death too but has to remain strong for her sake.
Lisa nods, wiping away her tears. She looks at him gratefully and still hugs him for a bit more, refusing to let go yet as he tries to stand up. "Okay, but don't be too long," the tall brunette pouts at Peter. She leans in close and he stands up. His hands are tucked in his pockets as he leaves the room and heads out to go back to his own room. The boy tries as much as he could to get the thought of Mandy's dead body out of his mind. It feels like he is getting stabbed too when he thinks of how much she must have suffered in her final moments.
When he is back in his own room, Peter searches for his wallet. Finding it on his bedside table, he checks inside it to see if there is enough cash. It is enough to buy several treats. With a sigh, he then gets out of his room. More people in the hallway extend their sympathy to him. He thanks them all for being so kind and decides he is going to stop by Chloe's room first, to tell her what just happened. Better for her to learn about it from him and someone else. She and Mandy weren't friends but she would probably want to know since it's about him.
He knocks on the door and waits for a few seconds before she opens it. Chloe is surprised by the disturbed look on the cute boy's face and leads him into her room. She cups his cheeks gently and asks him "Is everything okay baby? Did something happen?" she asks Peter as he lets her hold him. He feels safe in her protective arms but knows that he can't stay here forever. No, sooner or later he will have to leave this place. "Let it all out. Don't hold it in yourself like this. Whatever it is I will help you deal with it."
Peter finds her words very soothing and leans into the embrace, returning it and letting her kiss his eyelid. "Mandy is dead now. She's been murdered like Becky was," he croaks out, much to the shock of Chloe, who hugs him tighter. "The cops still don't have an idea who the killer is. Lisa is distraught. I'm now going to Walmarts to get her something to eat." Chloe gives him a thoughtful look as he struggles to take deeper and longer breaths, trying to regulate his heart rate. "I've got to go right now."
"Let me come with you. Like I told you, I can protect you from the killer," she says to Peter, retrieving her revolver from inside her safe box. It is a really good quality Smith & Wesson, and she is extremely proficient with it, having been to a shooting range several times with her mother, a police captain. Peter nods, and the two of them leave dorm together, hand in hand as they walk to the Walmarts across the street, right opposite to the campus.
After reaching it, the couple chooses all the snacks they want, paying and then leaving as quickly as they could. Chloe has her weapon holstered in a position where she can draw it rapidly when she needs it. She looks around carefully, staying alert at all times. Her Peter is also quite anxious. Both of them try to get back to the campus as quickly as they could, but then they hear someone walking behind them and turn around at the same time. Nobody is behind the college juniors. Exhaling, they turn back around to face their campus.
Both let out startled cries when they come face to face with a hooded person holding a knife in their right hand. The person rushes toward them, attempting to stab Chloe. Chloe cocks her fist back and is ready to punch, but Peter is ahead of her and smacks the hooded figure across the face with a back fist. It makes the tall attacker stumble backwards. He then delivers a front kick to the chest, which knocks the assailant down, but only momentarily. The person gets back to their feet and lunges again for Chloe again, but this time Chloe is more than prepared for it.
She has withdrawn her revolver and shoots from the hip. Chloe fires a few rounds into the attacker's midsection, hitting them in the stomach and knocking them to the ground with the impact of the bullets. But the figure is still somehow able to stand after that and rushes off, cradling their torso, hunched over in pain. Chloe stares in puzzlement, wondering how someone could run away after getting shot three times in a row. Peter is also confused as they rush back to the campus together, before calling the police to report it.
"You're staying in my room tonight, so I can protect you," Chloe tells him as she locks her gun inside the safe. She holds his hand and looks into his eyes with a very serious expression on her gorgeous face. "And also this isn't up for discussion. I mean it. You're here for the night, and every night after this until they find out who the killer is. I'm not letting you out of my sight after what just happened today." Peter nods shyly, as he puts on her spare T-shirt and gets under the covers with her.
"I'm sorry I can't fuck you again today," Peter says after she tries to make him hard. "I don't think I can get turned on so soon after another friend got killed and we nearly got murdered ourselves." Chloe nods in understanding and then kisses him on the lips, cradling the boy in her muscular arms. The volleyball girl can be surprising gentle when she wants to, and it makes him feel warm as she cuddles him on her bed, holding him and making him the little spoon.
"It's okay. You have my permission to not fuck me again today," she says to the boy, kissing the side of his neck as they try to sleep. "Just ask whenever you don't feel like having sex. If I'm in a sympathetic mood like I am right now then I'll allow it. But if not, then I'll just pin you down, rip your clothes off and take what I want. That's how it works, baby." Peter nods in understanding. She is superior to him in every way. He has no right to disagree with her. The only reason he isn't fucking her like she wants right now is because she is kind enough to consider his feelings. His cock is hers and she can have sex with him anytime she wants, but she is being very nice and allowing him to rest.
The boy feels content as she embraces him and falls asleep with her head in the crook of his shoulder and neck. He takes a bit longer to doze off, as many thoughts go through his mind. Who is the killer and what do they want? Why is he or she deliberately targeting the people closest to him? These are the questions that matter the most and yet he can't come up with any answers for them. Chemistry exams in high schools used to be the biggest challenges in his life. But this string of murders is in a whole new level of its own. He knows he has to solve it fast before anyone else gets killed.
