I woke up to silence

I woke up to silence. A sort of silence that made you wonder if you were the only person in the world.

Only I wasn't.

I groaned, taking in the direct sunlight beating into the room, shuffling. "Good morning, sunshine." A voice startled me and my head snapped to the belonger of the voice.

I groaned again, allowing my head to drop onto the pillow. "Bad morning to you too, asshole."

He muttered at the name, placing his phone away. "Feeling better?" He asked, sincerely.

I finally got to look at him properly and one, I had to admit that he looked nothing like the boy on my first day; there was nothing egotistical and cocky about him. Two, his features were oustanding; his black hair was matte and styled above his head, his eyes shone like stone that glistened in rain, and the freckles on his face made him appear young and innocent - He was anything but.

His words echoed in my mind. "Not everyone around you tells the truth." That only messed with my mind even more because it made me think what if the person was a lot more closer than we though.

I knew that it couldn't be any of my friends - we had been through too much together. It wasn't will - his name alone made every doubt go out the window.

So who could it be?

There was the thought that it could be either my mother and father but neither of them would do anything to hurt their reputation. So I was lost.

"Yeah." I grumbled, pulling the jacket closer. That's when I remembered something. I sat up instantly, allowing the jacket to pool on my lap as I pulled out my phone. I opened it up and clicked onto Will's contact, seeing the folder attached to the message.

I love you so much, Will!

I almost yelled in joy as the following message was attached to the folder. Make sure you don't share these, they are private videos.

I message a him back quickly and told him to stay safe before I jumped up from the couch, making my way out of the room. I shouted back just before I opened the door, briefly glancing at the boy occupying the soft couch. "Thanks, princess."

I raced towards the canteen, a laptop in hand ready for use. I walked through the room, instantly heading for our table and I place the laptop down in front of Adir suddenly - scaring him.

He looked at me expectedly. It only took one look for him to understand and he instantly pulled the laptop closer and got to work on the video files of the police station.

I had looked at the overview a couple minutes ago and there were over four days of footage to go through that covered the days of the incident. It would take a while.

I sat down on the seat beside him, noting the other boys sitting across from us as they ate. I plucked a chip from the closest plate, placing it in my mouth whilst I allowed my gaze to move the room.
