Willpower

Turning point

It's been like a week since I fully moved in with Demi. It's been hectic. I have been doing school online and I love it. It has the curriculum of my school district but I can go at my pace. I can move ahead of the day's quota, but I can also get extra help if I need it. Even though im only 15 going on 16 im doing senior classes so I'll graduate when I finish the classes. I only have about a week worth of classes left and I am rushing to get them done. I want to be done. Im not going to college because im going to be a model. I've been told by numerous model agencies that they would love to have me come for a trial shoot. I said once I graduated i would make some appointments. Demi has been pretty busy with recording her 5 album and everything. I've pretty much had the house to myself. Theres a hot tub room in one of the upper rooms and I've gone in the hot tub a lot. It's very peaceful until I got a phone call. I had just graduated high school and was about to get changed and go into the hot tub.
"Hello? Is this Alisha?" The voice belonged to a male. It was very deep and monotone.
"Yes I'm Alisha." I reply with no emotion.
"Hello. Im Karl Harris. I work down at the Police Station. I have some bad news and would like you to come down to the station as soon as you can."
I froze. I didn't know what to do.
"Uhm. Ok." I hear the door open and shut. Demi is home. Good.
"Yes ok. I'll be down in 15 minutes or so."
"See you then Alisha."
I run downstairs and see Demi getting a snack.
"Hey. So I just got a call. I need to go down to the Police Station."
Demi looks horrified.
"Omg! Why?!"
"I don't know. I just got a call saying i need to go asap."
"Ok well come on. I'll drive you."
"Thanks"
We get to the station and go in. It's a madhouse.
"Hello may I help you?" A sweet young woman sits behind a desk in from of a computer.
"Hello. Im Alisha. I was just called like 15 minutes ago that I needed to come down here."
"Oh yes. I'll go get Officer Karl."
Officer Karl comes and takes me and Demi back to his office.
"Hello. How are you both today?"
He acts as if this is a teacher conference in elementary school.
"Good" demi and I say in unison.
"So I seem to have some bad news."
He's all serious now. No playing around. Im very scared.
"Yes..." My voice quavers.
"Your parents were murdered last night and the murderer is now coming after you. They want your family's money. If they kill you they have a chance of getting it. We know who the murderer is." He stops right there. Doesn't say anything more.
"Who is it?" I ask impatiently.
"We believe it is a distant relative named Isabelle Grill."
