"We will be investigating this further. Thank you for your patience and understanding." The policeman sternly recited, the three of them standing at your door.
"Have a nice night!" Lucy added, trying to lighten up the heavy atmosphere.
"You too." Alina waved at her as she walked towards the police car.
"Thank you for listening to my side of the story." You told the policemen quietly; emotionally exhausted by all the tears and untruths you'd told.
"Ring the local police number if you have any issues or problems. Stay safe girls." The first one responded before striding away.
"Goodnight." The second policeman nodded and then turned around.
"Night." Ali called after them cautiously, shutting the door a second later.
"You did it! I'm really proud of you, (Y/n)." She flung her arms around you and hugged you warmly, a proud smile spread across her face.
"I'm just glad it's over. Reliving those memories...it was like I could see the events unfolding right in front of me again." You shuddered.
"Now you don't have to remember them. You can relax and forget this ever happened." Your friend held your hands whilst she said that; her smile softening.
"Ali, I—" You stopped yourself from telling her the truth; knowing that she'd judge you for all the lies. And keeping Michael a secret.
"What's up? You okay?" She worried over you and you forced yourself to stay calm.
"I just...Yesterday, Officer Hayward told me that my parents were coming today too. So...where are they...? Are they alright...?" You switched subject uncomfortably - now curious about your mother and stepfather.
"Oh...um...I don't think this is really the best time. I'll tell you in the morning. For now, why don't you get some rest?" Alina gingerly patted your shoulder after she broke the hug; a nervous look written across her face.
"There's something you're not telling me, isn't there?" You accused her anxiously.
"I...I just can't tell you right now...I can't bear to bring more bad news to the table. Just...wait until the morning...please?" She pleaded in a strained voice, her blue eyes shimmering with sorrow.
Why was she acting so grave?
What was going on?
"Sure...But you'd better tell me tomorrow." You gave in with a huff, moving past her.
"I will. Do you need anything else? Or would you prefer to be left alone for now?" Alina asked hesitantly.
"I'd...prefer to be left alone, Ali. It's nothing personal, I'm just...really tired...that's all." You knew Michael would be just itching to return, so you made up another lie - feeling even more guilty than before.
"I understand. Well I'm moving back into my apartment tomorrow - so when you're ready, just knock and I'll explain, 'kay?" Alina gave you one more hug and you nodded, nestling into her shoulder warmly.
"Okay. G'night Ali." You spoke in a tired tone, too drained to pretend anymore.
"Night (Y/n). See you tomorrow!" Your friend tried to sound upbeat as she walked towards the door; silence trailing in her wake.
Tears of tiredness pricked at your eyelids, your heart aching after telling all those lies. So much guilt...So much shame...Laurie and Dr. Loomis would be so...so disgusted with you right now. You clutched your hair in anguish and took choking breaths, the pain making it hard to function. All you wanted to do was curl up and cry. You felt like a true criminal, twisting the truth into your favour and harbouring a very dangerous murderer. What had you done? A creak of the floorboard made you look up, the silent stalker standing a few yards away from you. His expression was as emotionless as always, but his sharp blue eyes said it all.
