who framed me

Chapter Five

I saw my mum looking down and Mathew comforting my mum. Oh, I wish things were different now for me and Mathew, my mum and I wanted to just hug them both and tell them I'm sorry. Unfortnally for me things didn't go well in France after Elise was killed. I went out searching for clues as to who killed her and who was she with the night she went missing.

I didn't really sleep at all in Paris due to everything and I wanted to escape but I couldn't because that would make me look guilty and I couldn't grieve for my best friend either, so I had to bottle up my emotions and pretend like I wasn't hurting nor was missing my best friend who to this day I still think was the life and soul of the party.

________________________________________________________________

I was sat in my hotel room at the desk, looking out of the window. Mathew came into the room and I sighed deeply as he was on the phone talking to someone and I twirled around in the chair, looked at him patiently waiting for him to finish his call and he sat down on the bed and he wasn't looking at my direction but he hung up on the phone.

"Alright chao." Mathew said. "Have you been sleeping Abz." He asks with a sincere look and I shake my head.

"No, I haven't slept Matt since my best friend was killed and I need to find who killed her because it wasn't me at all." I said as I stood up from the chair and I made my way towards the hotel room door.

"Amber where are you going? "Mathew asked as I flipped him off as I left the room and walked away from the room.

That was the last time I saw Mathew. He flew back home the next day I guess he wanted to rekindled what we had but I didn't feel like it. I wanted to know where Elise was and what happened to her and who was she with.

I walked to the café where me and Elise came on our first night in Paris. Everything was going amazing up to that point in the café where I knew something wasn't right with Elise. I walked inside the café and ordered a cup of coffee, I sat down facing the table me and Elise were sitting at.

Since that night no one has sat in the place where me and Elise came to sit in this café. I drank my cup of coffee until I hear a voice behind me, I turn around and see it's Giles and nod at him. Giles sits down in front of me and I sigh deeply.

"Are you following me now Giles." I ask as Giles shakes his head and laughs a bit before drinking his cup of tea.

"Nope I was walking past on my home from work and I saw you in here. You seem how they say upset is everything okay Amber. "Giles asks I didn't know whether to crumble or keep my guard up, so I shrugged my shoulders as I drank my cup of coffee.

I sat there in the café with Giles across from me not really talking to him. I heard a girl laugh similar to Elise. I rose up from the seat and ran outside the café.

"Elise?" I said. "Where is she. I swear I heard her laugh. "I said as I walked down the road from the café.

"ELISE???" I shouted as I came to the bench I sat down after me and Elise had our fight. Oh, I would give to have more time with Elise. I could feel myself tearing up and looked out at the river in front of me and I let my tears fall down my face. I felt two strong arms wrap around me and pulling me into their chest and I look up and see Giles hugging me.

"Let the tears out amber." Giles said." I have got you now don't worry. Your safe now. Shush everything will be okay Amber." Giles added as his left hand started to stroke my hair as I cried into his shirt.
