Music of the Sun

Chapter 12

I lean against the door way with my arms folded. "So, what happened exactly?" he asks us. Bueno looks at me. "Tell him, what Bruno told you." "Yeah." "So, what happened." "He killed my girlfriend's friend, right in front of me." I eyes lifted. "I'm so sorry that you have to hear it, but he did." "So, where is he now?" "I don't know." I walk out of the kitchen. I take the telephone of the charger and dialed Jaime's number. "Hello?" "Cassandra. Please, don't believe Bueno. He just told me to hold the knife. I saw everything. He killed Margaritte." "You lied to me," I cry. "Cass." "Bruno. You told me that you won't hurt my friends, but you did. I can't trust you anymore. We're letting you go as an artist." "What?" "Margaritte is my cousin. Her family owns Motown Records. We're dropping you as an artist. Don't come to the studio tomorrow anymore. Just do whatsoever. 'Cause I have no time to deal with you and this shit." I hang up and lean against the wall. I dropped down and cried.

A few moments later. I see the cops carry Margaritte's body in a black bag. Bueno follow them out and I hear the door close shut and lock.

I start to think of Cassandra and what I saw in her place when he pushed the knife into Margaritte. Damn. Cassandra is in danger of her own death. "Jaime." "What?" she asks me. "I need your car." "Fine." She give me the keys. "Go, but what do you need it first?" "Cassandra is in danger." "What?" Her eyes lifted. "Her boyfriend did something awful and I'm scared for her." "Go... Don't wait around her. Go be her hero." I smile and left.

I scream. "Come here, Cassandra." "NO!" I run to the front door and unlocked it as fast as I could. I opened the door and ran out. I kept screaming. "You can't run too fast for me, bitch." "NO!" I ran even faster.
