-chapter 5-

"Is anyone going too say something useful?!" My father bellows across the room, people beside me all looking at each other nervously.

Silence.

Noone dare speak, all looking too me, expecting some sort of outburst as usual. But, right now, I'm at a loss for words.

I don't care how many times my Dad calls me weak or mundane, that was my Santana. I really didn't know how much she meant too me.

"Pérez is dead. Suck it up. What matters now is that whilst before, this killer was just some friendly competition. Now, they've killed one of our own. And whilst Venus is in charge of every single one of you, I happen too be above. Now, the only thing that matters is finding that murderer and killing them ourselves. Dismissed."

The sound of chairs scraping against the floor fills the space, everyone silently walking off, leaving me and Jasper, who sticks his hand out for me offeringly.

"C'mon, V. I'll drive you too school for basketball practise. You need too keep her off your mind."

Too tired too disagree, I nod, letting Jasper pull me gently out too his car, an undeniable tension in the air. That's how everyone has been with me since it happened. I mean our whole relationship was no secret.

What I've been dreading is seeing Billie. When I said if Santana was out of the picture, I would totally date her, I didn't mean like this.

Or course it's not Billie's fault my girlfriend is dead but I know she'll be thinking about it. And the worst part is that I find myself wanting her.

Like properly.

Not like I have actual feelings for the girl, more like I could spend a month being overly miffed she hasn't made a move yet.

I'm supposed too kill her. Jesus Christ.

"I know you don't want too talk about it V, but you're clearly not okay. Please just talk too me. We both know something else is going on."

Looking over at Jasper silently, I watch his eyes looking pleadingly at me, dashing back too the road every now and then as he drives us too our school.

"Nothing else is going on, okay? I'm allowed too be sad about my girlfriend dying. Just because you hated her doesn't take away my rights to love her."

Shaking his head with a sigh, Jasper turns back to the front.

"I know San being gone is hard too accept Billie. Believe me, that chic was nothing but a pain in the ass but she didn't deserve too die. But you wouldn't get that upset over nothing. Now I know you're going too deny this but in the back of your head, we both know this is about Billie."

There it is again.

Why is he so infatuated with the idea there's something going on between us?

"And what about her?"

"Don't play dumb, V. You and I both know you don't go round making out with any girls like Billie. You let them on you but it's insanely obvious you're who started this. I ain't never heard you talk about someone the way you talked about her on the bleachers."

Ignoring him, I watch as we pull into the parking lot, immediately exiting the car as quickly as I can. I can't handle this at the moment.

Basketball practise seems too drag on and on. I can feel my teammates getting frustrated with me as I miss each basket, all casting each other glances.

Maybe it's because of all the stress recently, or maybe it's because of a certain, black-haired angel sitting in the audience, watching my every move.
