Dollhouse

Chapter 3

The boat comes to our destination and we go down to the car area. We go inside of the car and drive to our house.

As we're driving we pass some shops and i realise how much I missed York. We pass the beach ready to go to our cousins house.

I open the car window and a whiff of cold air hits my face i stick my head out the window and my hair blows along with the wind. "Mummy how long until we get there" Rosie moans "Not long sweetie" she spits out.

I think she's in a bad mood because we had to go home so early. I open my phone and see a text from my friend bonnie.

"When u home??" 

"I just got back bon" 

"really?"

"Yeah but I wont see u until later my cousins been murdered and we need to go see my aunt"

"I'm so sorry I've heard that there's a few murders happening around there's like recordings of it at some house nobody knows where this house is though because nobody can track them because they are put on tapes that . I haven't seen them though"

That's the moment where i realised everything.

"Oh. Well I got to go bye"

"Bye jess"

I put my phone down on my lap and tell my mum what just happened. "Mum Bonnie said theirs tapes of the murders" She turns back at me and eyes right into me. But doesn't reply.

"I wish you guys would leave that alone we don't even know which cousin it is yet" Evan says in the cocky tone he always speaks in.

We reach our cousins house and park the car. We knock on the door and my aunt opens up with snot running down from her nose and tears with a dry tissue in her hands. "Hello Louisa" Mum says while hugging her tight

"Hi aunt Louisa" Me Rosie and Evan cry

"Hi kids!!" She blabbers in the sweetest tone while crying her eyes out. "Come in" She smiles. We walk into the living room to see..

Fuck

Kays dead.

My mouth widens and I run to Kit because he's crying and I hug him tightly. "I'm. so sorry Kit.." I cry. Kits only 16 and he has brown hair and the shiniest blue eyes he's the nicest person in the whole universe that I know of.

"He might want some time to himself jess. He's seen the tape." Speaks Aunt Louisa. "You mean.. The tape of Kay.." My eyes widen

I look over to the other side of the room to see Kate hugging Evan and Rosie. She lets out a blank smile at me. 

I smile back and get up from the sofa that i was hugging kit on. My shirt is now all wet from Kits tears but that's okay. as long as he's okay that's all that matters.

"I'm going to go the toilet" I smile and close the door behind me. I run up the stairs and run into Kits room where the tv is turned on with a little tape next to it.

"Bingo" I whisper and stuff the tape in my pocket. I don't want to see kay die but Bonnie said the murders were being taken in a house so i wanted to see if that was the house id been seeing in my dreams.

I walked out and went into the bathroom. I flushed the toilet knowing well i did nothing and went back downstairs.

We sat in my aunts living room for a bit while Evan made a cup of coffee for us all. I sip bit by bit thinking of Kays death. Picturing it in my head. What the fuck was my problem why was I thinking that. There's something wrong in my head. 

The room goes in silence like someone was reading my mind i know they weren't just felt like it. "Kids would you like anything to eat" Louisa questions. "Yes please" Squeals Rosie 

"What would u like sweetie" Louisa squats and holds her hand. "Do you have Lemon curd tart Tee-Tee" Rosie asks. Rosie has these cute nicknames for everyone. She calls Aunt Tee-Tee from the tie in auntie. Rosie is pretty clever with her nicknames

"Yes I baked some yesterday! Let me plate it for u my little rose!" Louisa hugs Rosie and i can see she's comfy and reminds Rosie of Kay. 

Kay was only 15. She was so young to go she deserved so much better she wasn't the nicest to me or Rosie really. I think she was jealous of us she was the one who never really got attention i felt bad for her in a way.

Louisa came out with a plate of lemon curd tart "Thank you!!" Rosie waved her arms and Louisa smiled. She started crying and fell into my mums arms.

"Oh Louisa Its going to be okay" Cries my mum. "Will it though Bethany" She cried "Yes. Yes.." Mum mumbled.

I sat their with the tape in my pocket but i was unaware of what would soon happen to my family and friends. 

My phone rings and i get a message from a groupchat 

Ava-OMG JESS IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

Jess- Im okay thanks!

Ash- Bon told us about your cousin

Ellie- Yeah we really hope your okay!

Jess- Thank you guys so much <3

I smile at my phone. They are the best people i could ask for really.

I look at Rosie who is stuffing her face with Louisa's Lemon curd tart and look back at my phone. Louisa is still crying in my mums arms and my dad is sat next to them probably feeling like the most awkward person in the world. 

"Louisa i think we should go now" Mum smiles and places her head on top of Louisa's head. "Okay but come over tomorrow please" Louisa begs "Of course i will" Says mum

We get into the car and drive off into the distance. Louisa comes out and waves to us while we drive away.

I feel a bit of guilt in a way because id taken the tape. I shouldnt have really but i know one thing that i was going to have to watch a video of my cousin dying to find out the truth behind everything and i dont think i am physically or mentally prepared in any way. I wasnt ready for when Louisa would find out what id done either it was so messed up. 

I still wanted to find out what that house was all about or was it just some stupid dream i mean i wouldnt blame it. Maybe i was overthinking it because of my sisters dreams too. But now i have to focus on my dreams. At the moment my sisters are irrelevant.
