Truth of Falling

29 | Evidence

I rub my eyes waking up from my slumber.

That was a crazy dream. I massage my forehead trying to relax myself. I can't believe I dreamt my brother was a killer. That's insane.

I give out a loud yawn while sitting up on my head stretching my arms out. I look over to my nightstand next to my bed seeing a white piece of paper laying on top of my phone. I reach over and grab it.

I wish we could've went to prom together, even though we can't I will be thinking of you all night.

Fuck. Not a dream.

I set the note beside me recalling everything from last night. I reach back over to my nightstand grabbing my phone to read the time.

11:52 am

It's almost noon?! Good thing it's finally the weekend. Although I'm not surprised I slept in that's all I've been doing lately.

I let out another big yawn making my eyes water a little. I wipe my eyes off and begin to stand up, stumbling over to my dresser and closet pulling out a pair of black ripped jeans and a light blue t-shirt with an ocean wave logo on the front, I slip them both on along with my white high top converse.

I walk back over to my bed grabbing the note shoving it into my pocket.

How am I supposed to find evidence that Kyle was with Lucas? I need more proof. This doesn't prove Kyle was the one Lucas was with let alone..killed him.

I throw my brown hair into a messy bun taking a deep breath.

Come on I got to figure something out. Maybe I could look through Kyles's phone? I scoff at my idea. Yeah right like he would ever give his phone up, I would have to take it without him noticing.

I start pacing around my room.

Ok. That's the plan. Take his phone. Yeah, I can do this.

I stop pacing. I march over to my door swinging it open. I look down the hallway seeing all the lights are on downstairs.

I steadily start to walk down the stairs spotting my mom in the living room folding clothes. Not really sure what to do I start to walk over.

"Finally you're up, I thought you were going to sleep all day" She looks up from the basket of clothes over to me. "You were even asleep before I got home last night. Are you sick?"

"No, I was just really exhausted" I give an awkward stare not sure what else to say.

"Well since Kyle is busy eating breakfast, do you mind taking his basket of clothes to his room?" Kyle? I slowly turn around facing the kitchen seeing Kyle eating cereal at the table playing on his phone facing away from me.

Shivers go down my spine. I watch him as he takes another bite. Well, how am I supposed to get his phone now? Should I even take his phone? Or more importantly why is he eating cereal at almost noon?!

"Millie!" My mom yells causing my attention to advert back to her and Kyle to look back at us. "You just spaced off, are you seriously ok?"

"Yeah sorry. I will take the basket now" I walk over grabbing the basket of clothes hurrying back upstairs avoiding Kyles's stare.
