Annie's P.O.V
Valerie and I stood there speechless staring at the horrible scene in front of us. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was like a dream. I felt that I was spinning around. Gemma was lying there covered with blood. Bonnie also blacked out which made matters worse .She couldn't bear it. It was just me and Valerie there all alone.
"What are we going to do?" Valerie asked with the tears filling her eyes.
"We should call the emergency." I said trembling with fear.
"I think I left it inside."Said Valerie searching for her phone.
"Me too. I will get it. You stay with Bonnie."I said heading inside.
I tried to search for the phone, and finally I just found it on the couch. I picked it up. I hardly typed the number as my hands and my whole body were trembling badly. I followed the instructions carefully as it was a recorded message until my call was connected.
"Okay just stay calm.The help is on the was"She replied trying to calm me down after I informed her about the whole thing.
"Thank you."I hung up the phone immediately, and went back outside to valerie.

Everything was chaos. The ambulance came and so the police. The people were all over the place the neighbors, the cops and the investigators. We went to the police station. A lot of investigations took place that night. Bonnie was okay now thanks god. The three of us went there, so, they would investigate with us.
A strange feeling rushed through my body as I entered the police station. I just wanted to run away and hide, and leave all of these behind my back. We never went to a police station before, and now we are coming for an investigation in my best friend's death case...Really!!What the fuck?!
"Would you please follow me?"Said the officer interrupting my thinking leading us to some room. I turned around to check on Bonnie and Valerie. They were following me in fear and confusion just like I was.
We entered the room. We sat down calmly waiting for someone to come. We waited for about fifteen minutes, and finally the investigator just came with another man. They started to ask us a couple of questions about our life and Gemma's. We just spent the whole night like this Q and A.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We came here three years ago. At first we stayed with my aunt, but she died last year so, every one of us moved to her own house after the permission of our parents for sure. We met Gemma here in our senior second year." I replied at their question. I started to count how many questions did they ask, but I gave up after couple of question wondering how didn't they get bored?!! Like they do this with every single person who comes in here.
"How is the relationship between Gemma and her parents?" They asked interrupting my thoughts.
Bonnie and I looked at each other. We couldn't speak as we knew it was killing Gemma whenever she remembers her parents. She knew that her dad was cheating on her mom, but she didn't want to destroy everything. She was keeping it inside her until her Mom knew about it. She asked for divorce and Gemma didn't see her dad since that day, but finally Bonnie dared to speak.
"Her parents are divorced and her mother got married to a wealthy man. He is paying for Gemma's school. He also bought her the car and the house." Bonnie answered not mentioning anything about Gemma's father.
