(Tamyra's POV:-)

We've been driving for the last 15 minutes, just driving aimlessly. I bring my knees up and hug them, looking out of the window still trying to process what just happened. The sound of music fills the car, I turn around to see Ri turning up the volume. He has this pissed off expression on his face, I can't even pinpoint what he is angry at. And not to forget what happened a few minutes ago at the Cafe, how everything kind of just sprung up on him. I kind of half expected him to yell at me or hate me just the way everyone does. I was certain that he would quit his job and leave, because let's be honest who wants to stay with a- a murdered?

The music fills the car. I get lost in my mind.

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶(play the song from here. The words in slant are lyrics and the ones in bold are flashbacks)

Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up

Running at the beach, giggling and enjoying we are lost in the moment. Trying get the air in our lungs we slow down and we both finally come to a stop. Grinning ear from ear he turns to face me. The dazzling smile on his face, the twinkle in his eyes of excitement has me feeling heat rush to my cheeks. "Ira promise me one thing? We will always be friends, for better or for worse, even in the darkest time, promise to not give up on this, us? You are very important to me, not just because you are my best friend, Ian's sister but more, promise me we will always be a team, this bond will always remain the same?"

"I promise Nic, we will always be friends the partners in crime. Even in the darkest times I'll always cherish this friendship." I give him a small smile. His little speech has me feeling butterflies in my stomach, although scared to trust him totally, I put some trust in him with the hope that it won't turn against me.

I get drunk, but it's not enough
'Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby

Just I turn round the corner I bump into a couple kissing, they both are so focused that they don't even realise that someone bumped into them. Makes me laugh at them but as I look closer I realise something- It can't be..... no way, Oh hell no!!! That seriously can't be them!!! Jace???? And Samantha?!!!!! You gotta be freaking kidding me!!!!

I felt my heart shattering into pieces, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. This can't be real, this has to be a dream! No way in hell is this happening to me! Angry does not even start to explain how I feel.

I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier's still flickering here
'Cause I can't pretend it's ok when it's not
It's death by a thousand cuts

The funeral ends, I turn to get out of there as fast as I can. Harshly grabbing my wrist he turns me around to face him. "Where the hell do you think you are going? You are putting this innocent act on and trying to play the victim card but don't even for a moment think that I will fall for it, you are a murdered! One who killed my best friend, your own brother, you left him to die there! And ran for your life, Such a coward!"
