The Devil on Her Shoulder (gxg)

Part 23- 3 AM Adventures

"What the fuck, are the cops here?" Serena lifted her head up off her pillow as they red and blue lights flooded through our room.

"Looks like it." I said, sitting up.

I had a feeling I knew what this was going to be about.

"Why are they here in the middle of the night...if they were going to make some kind of arrest, wouldn't it be during the day?" Nicki said, yawning, sitting up as well.

"Let's watch what's going on from the window and see if we should go downstairs." I said, sitting up out of my bed.

I am going to assume this is about Rachael. Let's see.

The three of us crowded by the window, and watched as three officers got out of the car, one of them was Officer Fiori.

There was a knock at the door.

"Police. Open up." it was Officer Fiori.

"Let's go down." Nicki said, moving away from the window. She hurried out of the room, and Serena and I followed. I saw Daisy, Candace, and Natalie- who I felt like I hadn't seen in a while, coming out of the other bedroom.

Daisy immediately walked up to me and latched on to my hand. She gave it a squeeze as we walked down the steps together. My heart was pounding.

I noticed that Rachael was missing from the line up.

There was another knock at the door, a harsher knock this time.

"Coming!" Serena called out, and rushed over to open the door. When she did, the three officers walked in.

"How can we help you, Officers?" Serena said, standing in front of them.

"Rachael Yang. We know she's here." the male officer said, looking around.

Knew it.

"She wasn't asleep in the bedroom." Daisy said, "Maybe check the backyard? She randomly likes to go back there."

"Even though it's like 30 degrees out." Nicki muttered.

"We'll check back there." Officer Fiori said, "Thank you."

It seemed as though we were all holding our breath as we heard voices outside.

"I guess you were right." I whispered to Daisy.

A few moments later, the door to the backyard flung open and Officer Fiori walked in, holding Rachael with her hands behind her back. In cuffs.

Daisy looked at me, wide eyed.

Rachael wasn't saying- at first.

She noticed all of us staring at her and said, "The fuck are you all looking at? I'm not the killer here."

She then locked eyes with me. And if looks could kill- I would be on the floor.

Like I found Mila.

Her dark expression left me with chills.

I could feel my heart beating faster as she got pulled away by the cops, and out of the front door.

After the door shut, Nicki said, "What the fuck was that?"

"She did it, right?" Natalie said, "She must have. Hopefully this is finally over and done with."

So you can go back to fucking Mila's dad in peace?

"Rachael clearly said she didn't do it though." Candace said. She stood there in her black sports bra, her hair up in a messy bun.

"But she was clearly arrested for murder." Natalie said, and rolled her eyes. "I'm going back up to bed."
