I woke up to Ziggy unlocking my door, and talking to Simon. "Nick was really mad at himself for letting her see it, you know? Like he wanted to protect her from that stuff after Tommy. "She whispered, I turned around, wrapping my arms around Simon's stomach and pulling him back down.

"T-money, we gotta get up and go to the station. "Simon teased, making Ziggy chuckle. "I am going to go to work. Hopefully no one can kill me at the library. Fingers crossed. "She joked, fully coming in and kissing my forehead. "Bye love you dear, and bye I love you, Dora. "She gushed, making Simon smile widely and fan his cheeks. "Y'all are such dorks, love you! "She exclaimed closing my bedroom door, and unlocking all of the locks on the front door.

Simon pulled me up and handed me my cheer uniform. "Get dressed, I'm gonna go tinkle. "He chuckled; tickling my sides, making me laugh and punch his stomach. He laughed and went to the bathroom, closing the door.

I slid off the hoodie and shorts I put on the night before, and slid on the top of uniform. I looked down at my feet and saw the yellow fuzzy socks on my feet, a smile creeping onto my face. I pulled them off and jumped into the short skirt that the assholes at Shadyside high make us wear.

"God, I love your hand soap Thea. "Simon moaned, walking out of my bathroom, smelling his hands. I laughed, "Thank you. Nick got it for me as a senior year gift. He always gets me shit at the beginning and end of the year. "I told him, walking into my bathroom and putting toothpaste on my now wet toothbrush.

"Simon come brush your teeth. Gotta keep that smile pretty and shiny. "I admired, looking over and winking. He walked over and did the same as me, waiting for the water to get hot before putting the toothbrush underneath.

"When we get to the station, can you um, come in the room with me. I don't think Nick will be able to interview me about it, and I don't want to be alone with Kapinsky. "I asked him, he put his hand on my back, and nodded.

Once I finished brushing my teeth and Simon did as well, he helped me put my hair into a ponytail. Then we both got our shoes on, and got into my car. Him driving us to the station. I began to shake again as the scene replayed in my head and my palms were rubbing above my knee.

"Hey hey hey, it's okay. Do not panic, okay? I'm gonna be right next to you the whole time. "He consoled, grabbing my hand. His thumb rubbing over it comfortingly.

I nodded and sniffed. I picked up my bag, and got out of the car with Simon. We got into the station, and once I told them my name, they sent me to Kapinsky's office.

"Okay well Ms. Slater, Sheriff Goode told me you were waiting in the parking lot for Heather Watkins, correct? "I nodded and gripped onto Simon's hand. "Heather was umm too scared to walk home alone last night said that she thought she was gonna die, and I was closing up at Musicland, where I work. And I was going to her store to say bye, and she asked for a ride. So, I told her I would wait in the parking lot cause my guardian, Ziggy doesn't like me being in the mall after hours. "I recounted, Kapinsky nodded and wrote it all down. He chuckled at the part of her not wanting to walk alone. "I mean she died anyways "He joked, laughing loudly.
