Past. Present. Future? [Wattys 2015 ]

Chapter 8- More Questions

My legs went numb.  You know that kind of  emotion and heartbreak that feels as if your heart is breaking like literally.  Like physical pain.

Elle kept taunting me by the words she only whispered in my ear "You were not the only one,  Murder  ". 

I then stormed out not sure what type of emotions overflowed out of me a mixture of rage, pain, rage. 

My world felt like it was tearing at the seams.  I ran down the stairs and made my way to the door I just couldn't stand being there.  Martin lied to me.  He cheated on me...  Lies... Lies.

I pushed my way through the sea of  people and went through the front door.  The saltyness of my tears started reaching my mouth.  I kept walking. Through their  open gate.  I kept walking home.  I kept walking.  Thinking that he deserved to die...

Not looking up as I walked I felt like it's a jungle.  Like they eyes of a jaguar was upon me, me it's prey. I was being followed by a black Jaguar .

The car sped up, hy heart was beating faster.   "You there " a voice broke through the silent city sounds. I turned my head, reflex.  It was the Detective I had met. He gestured for my to climb in "I'll drive you home ".

He kind of send a chill down my spine and I didn't want him to ask me  20 questions "I'm fine thanks "  I declined.  He nodded and turned right at the robot.

I finally reached my house but I saw a black Jaguar parked in front of my house.  I went to the door. 

The they were sitting in the living room my Dad and the detective.  "Honey come her please " I heard my Dad's voice upon my arrival.

I went to him and greeted him and Detective Holmes.  "You should've accepted my offer " he nonchalantly said whilst smirking. 

He was there to ask me some questions about Martin's death.  I started with:

How long had we been dating, his friends,  stuff like that.  "So you had the perfect relationship right?"  he asked while scribbling things on a small note pad.

I sat there thinking about what Elle said.  I looked down thinking of what to say.  "Roselin?" 

"Yes we had. " I answered avoiding eye contact. 

" Then why did one of your friends tell us that he cheated on,  and you found out so you killed him and the girl he cheated on.  You have motive."  he stated, emotionless as he wanted me to react in a certain way.

"Sir"  I said whilst standing up in my best English "I don't appreciate those accusations nor silly  high school girl rumors, so if you don't mind I would like you to leave ".  He stood up and walked himself out.

My Dad came in with a tray of drinks. Just missing the Detective.  "He left already? "   he asked.  "Yeah,  cases to solve people to arrest. "  I stated  listing to the black Jaguar ride   away.  "Well I'm off to the hospital,  Rose ". And with a kiss on my forehead my Dad was gone.

Lonesomeness.

Silencness.

Nothingness.

Sadness.

All with enveloped the house.

It was me and the demons of the past that echoed throughout the house.

18:33

I was awakened by the doorbell.  I rushed down stairs half asleep.  Scarecrow style hair.

It was him standing in front of me,  looking,  attractive  and me well I woke up like this.

"Storm...how do you know I live here? "I asked very creeped out  by the situation.

" Oh I... didn't.  My keys are locked in my house and I'm locked out side and it's cold and my Mom is at work and my Brother is still at a funeral " he muttered, stumbling over his words.

" You haven't answered my question " I said more angrily than intended. "Sorry,  Hey neighbour may I enter it's cold. " he said more confident than before.  He  gave a half smile.

Hesitant at first but I then agreed. Make yourself comfortable I'll be be right back.  I ran up stairs to change out of my Ed Sheeran fan girl t-shirt and pajama pants. 

I made my way  down the stairs to the living room where I left him.  "So you can keep me inside the pocket of you ripped jeans. Holding me closer till our eyes meet. You won't ever be alone. "  Martin said when he heard my footsteps.  "Ed Sheeran _Photograph  I love that song "  I exclaimed.

"So who is this  " Storm said whilst holding a photo frame. 

I walked closer to him,  he had his back turned against me.  "That is...  "  I saw the picture of a young woman with black hair in her wedding dress.  "My Mom"  I said  in such  a  way  that felt like I actually met her.

"She looks beautiful,  apple doesn't fall far from the tree Roselin " he said.  I went red for a moment lucky his back is towards me. " Call me Rose,  everyone and anyone calls me that " I corrected him. " No" he turned around and looked in my eyes "I'm don't want to be everyone I don't want anyone. Okay... Lin,  I'll call you Lin." he announced.

I looked into his striking blues eyes,  almost getting lost in them. We locked eyes. Martin's face flashed through my mind.  I stepped back and unlocked the intense stare. 

"Sorry uum I, I think my Mom is home " he apologetically said. "It's best you go " I  nodded.  But I saw a flash sadness like a  thunderstrike  shot in his sky blue eyes.

He walked out and left me standing in front of the fireplace where the photos were displayed above it.

I heard my phone and ran up stairs.  Daily exercise finished.

Rlly srry

In all honesty I was livid  why did my best friend not tell me.  I didn't answer back.

Maddie is one of our friends,  and she is the Principals daughter.  Cindy must be sleeping over there.  Usually I'm invited but it seems like people are playing the keep far away from Rose game. Because a rose has thorns

But this  murder case is getting serious and now fingers will be pointed at me...  And how  did Cindy find out aand not tell me and how long ... ?

Is it possible that Cindy knew and killed him.?

And what was that with Storm?

I went to bed and drank two sleeping pills.

Sleepy Sleepy Dreamy  Dreamy once woken troubles gone..
