Truth of Falling

34 | The Search

Pacing back and forth in my room I wait anxiously.

I need to speak with Officer Johnson. I hardly have slept in days but last night I definitely didn't sleep.

I need to talk to Officer Johnson.

I turn around in rush when I hear a loud knocking sound. I sprint down the stairs and open the front door in a hurry.

"Officer Joh-" I stop myself immediately when I notice it's Owen.

I hit my forehead. Officer Johnson said he would meet with me after school not early this morning.

"Wha-What are you doing here before school?!"

"I thought I could give you a ride today, since you always drive me around." I rub the side of my head while moving out the way.

"Yeah sure, thanks. Let me just say goodbye to my mom real quick."

"While your doing that is it ok if I use your bathroom?" I nod taking his backpack in hand.

"Just be quick, I need to get out of here."

"Why? What wrong?"

"I messed up."

"Wha-"

"Just go use the bathroom! I will explain later!" I point down the hall and watch as he makes his way.

"Mom! I'm leaving!" I shout not sure where she is from the living room.

I hear footsteps maneuver from the laundry room.

"Set that bag down and give me a hug before you leave!" I set Owens bag down, trudging over into my moms arms.

As I hug back, I see Kyle walking down the stairs. I give him a glare as he walks by watching until he's out of eye sigh.

Finally I hear the bathroom door open. I glance over seeing Owen emerge in the room.

"I gotta go mom." I pull out of the hug.

"Yeah I gotta go too mom I have a busy day myself." I twist around scoffing at Kyle who's now standing at the front door. I watch as he leaves without looking back. Once he's out the door I face mom and Owen.

"Mom this is Owen, Owen this is my mom now lets get to school Owen."

"Where's my backpack?" I spin in a circle and point to where I left it it.

He grabs it and I say once last goodbye and I begin pulling him out the door in a hurry.

We speak no more words until we are inside his car.

"What did you do?"

"I went off on Kyle even though you told me try not to talk to him until we find evidence but I couldn't help it." Biting the inside of my cheek, I look over.

"What did you say?"

"Everything and He admitted it," No movement is made. "He admitted to killing Lucas, he spiked my drink, he stabbed him god knows how many times, but he did it all because of fear." I stare out the window refusing to look over.

"Kyle killed him. Owen my own brother. My own twin brother killed him! I have no idea what's going on through his brain or what he's planning right now but I called an officer, I did everything I could to report but I can't get into the station till after school and I don't know if I can wait that long."

"Oh shit Millie, I knew he had to be the one but I really didn't want it to be true."

"Just drive. The sooner we get to school the sooner we can get to the station." We sit in silence the whole drive and the entire walk into school.
