Nobody has ever had a worse date than this...

What does a girl do when she can't find a date for Valentine's Day? Well she searches around on social media to find any guy that's the hottest, sexiest, and smartest date anybody could ask for. Why this girl needed a date so badly was because she was going on a group date with her friends and they all had hot dates but her. The girl had to think fast, Valentine's Day was only four weeks away! She needed a guy who was crazy over her...but one day on Instagram she saw it... she saw the guy she had only dreamt about, a guy that would make all of her friends jealous, and make everyone want to be her. The guy was picture perfect, so she sent him a message saying, "Hey I know you don't know me but I was wondering if you would like to go out some time? Possibly for a drink, I'll buy...nobody can resist a free drink ;)" And a couple minutes later he replied, "Why sure I don't mind going out with a gorgeous girl like you ;) Just tell me when and where." The girl had her guy at the tips of her fingers so she replied with a trendy bar tomorrow at 6PM.

The next day she picked out her sexiest outfit that no man can resist. This girl had no feelings for the pain, she thought she was going to bring him if he fell for her, but she didn't care! She was only doing this for one reason and one reason only, and that was to look good on Valentines Day. She got there at 5:52 and she saw her brutally handsome stranger waiting for her at the bar. He caught her walking by at the corner of his eye and he spun around to meet her green hazel eyes. She said, "Nice to meet you in person."

He said, "Likewise, you're more gorgeous in person may I say." The girl was drawn by the way he talked, it was like he was in a 50 Shades of Grey novel waiting to be pushed against a wall... but the girl thought, "Wait I cant fall for him, he's just a way to make me look better... Lindsey doesn't fall for anyone ever!" They talked and laughed and drank for a few good hours then ended the night with a goodbye hug and kiss on the cheek. Before he left he said, "Can I see you again?"

And Lindsey says, "Why yes you can, here's my number... tell me when you're free next." As Lindsey hands him her number written on a little piece of paper he chuckles a little bit.

"You know you're a funny girl, giving me your number on piece of paper like the old days. You could have just put it in my phone yourself."

She says with a grin, "Maybe I'm a fan of the classics," and gives him a kiss on the cheek and starts to walk away. As she walks away she can feel his eyes on her, amazed by her witty and flirtatious humor while she has a sense of mysterious beauty to her he just can't resist. The next morning he sent her a good morning text... and at night he sent her a goodnight text. After that night she knew she had him at the tips of her fingers. But she didn't know he was thinking the same way about her, she didn't know she was at the hands of a monster.

After a few more dates she popped the question as they sit dining at a fancy restaurant, "Hey I was wondering if you would like to go on this group date me and my friends are going on in a few days?"

He grins and says, "It's for Valentine's Day right?" And she nods her head with a confidence that he wouldn't refuse her offer.

While he thought it over she started to graze him with her foot, "Maybe then you will get a little surprise after." She gives him a flirtatious grin and he agreed to go on this group date of hers. She didn't know but he was thinking of a little surprise he was going to give her that night and would be better then anything she could provide for him.

The day came of the Valentine's Day group date and she was overjoyed that she got the sexiest guy and sexiest outfit to make everyone jealous. She got her makeup and hair done so she was picture perfect for all the hot pictures she would post later tonight on social media. She knew her ratings were going to sky rocket after this night, and then she could ditch her hot guy and go on with her life.

When he picked her up, his jaw dropped when he saw her perfect body walk down the stairs with such grace and elegance. She said, "You like what you see?"

With a flirtatious wink and he couldn't help but smile after that, "Why you know I do Miss Lindsey, shall we go now?" As he put his arm out to meet her arm half way, and helped her gracefully glide down the rest of the old staircase of her house. Then they were off to the place all the friends said the big date was. When all of the friends saw her and him they were all in shock when they saw how flawless they both were. The rest of the night flew by with a lot of picture taking by Lindsey, showing everyone how much better she was then her friends. Lindsey didn't really care about her friends, she just cared about the popularity that came with it, but she always had to be the most hottest girl in the group at all times. Everybody in the group kind of knew that and they weren't a big fan of Lindsey and how Lindsey always had to get what she wanted at all times. That's why they weren't shocked when Lindsey finally got what she deserved...

The rest of the night flew by with champagne glasses dinging, red roses with kisses on the cheeks, and the occasional foot playing under the table. When it was time to leave, the girls all hugged each other goodbye then parted their ways. On the car ride home it was quiet until Lindsey said, "Wait till we get back to my house, then you'll get your surprise." The man said nothing but chuckled a little bit thinking bout what was really going to happen. When they got home, Lindsey was feeling a little bit tipsy from all the champagne she drank, so the man lifted her up like a child to help her into the house. She thought it was sexy but she didn't know the horrors that was about to happen once she was alone with her date. When they entered the house, he gently placed her on the couch and went outside to his car. When Lindsey heard the door open and shut again she jumped up. Lindsey went straight to the window to see what he was doing and she saw him pulling an axe, a bunch of knives, and a belt to put all the knives in out of the drunk of his car. Just then Lindsey remembered something she heard on the news, "Beware their is a man butchering attractive woman all over the city! We don't have a description yet but he is very dangerous and very believable to not be dangerous." Just then Lindsey knew they were talking about him, he was the man butchering attractive woman! She started to look for her phone but couldn't find it, so she ran to the back of the house to a window but as soon as she started to open it she heard the door creak open. She looked behind her and started to hear footsteps that sounded like they were by the couch where she was laying. She quickly started to open the window but felt a hand land on her shoulder and she heard, "I like a woman that is hard to get." And then he goes to whisper in her ear and says, "better start running." And places his hand off her shoulder onto the window frame to keep it down. She takes her hand off the window and started running up the stairs to her room. She quietly shut the door and hid under her bed. She thought of any weapons she could use to protect herself, suddenly she saw her scissors on her dresser. She slowly crawled her way from under her bed to her dresser and grabbed the scissors. But as soon as she grabbed them the door flew open before she even had a chance of finding another hiding spot. As she held the scissors in her hand shaking, he had a knife in his hand and walked closer to her. She took a step back with tears in her eyes, and he swiftly lunged at her with his knife and stabbed her in her right shoulder, but she got a stab at him in his chest. She screamed out in pain and he laughed as the scissors were still in him as he backed up. He ripped out the scissors and said, "Oh Lindsey, I laugh at pain and you're about to get a lot of it real soon. One thing about me is I like to torture before I kill." She started to run again while holding her bleeding shoulder, she ran to her laundry room where she bandaged herself up so she wasn't leaving a trail of blood. After that she ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife and hid in a cabinet. She heard the footsteps getting closer and closer with every step. Just then she heard his axe hitting every piece of object she could possibly be hiding in, but when he got close enough she quickly opened her cabinet and slashed him in the leg and ran out of the kitchen. He laughed and said, "I'm impressed, you got some fight in you. It's turning me on Lindsey!" Her name out of his mouth sounded like lava coming out of a volcano for the first time. She hated it she absolutely hated her name coming out of his mouth. As Lindsey held her knife leading against a wall, she remembered she could reach somebody through her laptop in her room. She swiftly eased her way to the stairs but when she left the wall he saw her, at that moment their eyes met and she froze. It seemed like they were staring at each other for an hour, but as soon as it happened he grabbed his knife and chucked it at her. The knife hit her leg, and besides the pain she started to run towards the staircase dropping her knife. She pulled his knife out of her leg when she made it to the steps and started to limp up the steps. He showed up behind her and took his axe and took a swing at her ankles, cutting off both her feet. She screamed in pain thinking, "I'm not giving up yet! I can do this!" She took her arms and started to crawl her way up the steps. She almost forgot she had her knife, and she twisted around and stabbed him right in the face knocking his axe out of his hands. Lindsey thought that would spare her some time. By the time the guy was done holding his face, he got a little angry after that and grabbed her legs where her feet used to be and twisted her around. As she went to stab him again, he held he hands down with such force it felt like her wrists were breaking in half. She screamed in pain as he laid on top of her and then he pulled out his knife and takes it with such force and stabs her in the chest moving the knife slowly down her body cutting her open. Lindsey's screams slowly fades as her life leaves her body. He leaves her there laying on her staircase, blood dripping down the stairs to the doorway.

The next morning, her mailman saw the blood dripping from the door crack and called the police. The police were horrified by all the blood traced through the house. The one policeman said, "Well it was the man again, but this girl put on one hell of a fight. She was going for something upstairs and would stop at nothing to get it. He even cut off her feet and still tried to go upstairs. Look at the fingerprints, he dragged her half way down before he cut her open." After her friends heard the news, they were not surprised by the outcome of Lindsey's death. They all thought she got what she deserved and none of them showed up to her funeral. Nobody even knew that it was her date that killed her because he disappeared after that and any pictures of them were deleted on social media. Lindsey ended up having the most red Valentines Day then all her friends and she got what she wanted... to be famous on social media. Thanks to her date from hell.
