WE ARE ALL GUILTY : Maybe Even You Are?

27) Did he or did he not?

"Hey dad, why are you calling at this time? Everything cool?", I inquired as I checked my watch which displayed 10pm. A bit too late to talk. They are usually eating or sleeping at this hour.
"No. I need to talk to you"
I purred back, "Uh huh?"
"Yes huh! Who the hell is this Dominique guy?"
It somehow hit me that I should inform him that my dad might possibly be upset about him. And I did so. While I replied to dad, I texted him in caps "MY DAD SEEMS UPSET WITH YOU"
"Oh, D? He is my friend....?"
"Not to you. To Ace. Ace Calderone", he kept insisting
"His bestie. Why?"
"Do me a favour. Or if it convinces you then here you go in Spanish. Por favor"
"Urghhhh.....fine"
"Stay away from him. Actually....b-both Ace and th-that Dominique"
"Okay.....give me a reason. Not Spanish". I wasn't gonna let go of this now. Of the truth. When I'm so close to it. "Give me a reason"
"I'll tell you tomorrow. Too late now"
"Well then you tell me a reason tomorrow and then I stop talking to them", I blurted out
"Seriously, Rhyss just listen to me for once!!"
"Why should I?!". I waited for a reply but he gave non so I continued "You know what? You might not be interested in what happened to Lilie. But I am. So either give me the reason to stop me from knowing the truth or give me the truth!", I cut the call immediately. I realized then that I was literally shouting at him. But I have every reason to. He was never interested in what had happened to Lilie. Mom wanted to know but at the emd she also u understood the fact that it was a suicide, not a murder. That might be the reason why he didn't inquire on it either but he never seemed shook by it. Even worse....he is always like this. Too absorbed in his web developing and social status to spare a single fuck at anybody and anything else. Sorry for the language. I took my phone in my hands and put it to charge. After doing so, I crashed into my bed. The coziness making me never wanna leave it. But I'll need to again tomorrow. What a life. But life....is unfair. So is Ace. My eyes just closed and got ready to dive into dreamland but Ace is a jerk. Even if my alarm fails to wake me up, his call sure will.
"Remind me to kill you from keeping from having the best sleep of my life"
"Remind me to kill you for giving me a heart attack", he said emotionless
"Um....and why is that?"
"Well. Here's the thing your dad might be upset with me but so am I with him". As soon as he finished, I crawled back into my dma and noticed that I had accidentally texted Ace instead of D. F me. But I was rather more interested as to why he was upset with my dad.
"Why are YOU upset with my dad?"
"First you tell me why he is upset with me", Ace replied lousily after growling for so long. He definitely got annoyed at how I calm I was being.
"Uff...it's nothing!"
"Freaking tell me!"
"Go-to-sleep!!!"
"Open your freaking mouth and speak"
"I don't know! He thinks you killed Lilie! Or you're the next Jeffrey or whatever. Also a complete moron and a jerk!". We finally stopped grilling and commanding each other. But he went completely quiet. So I added, "Um...Hello? It was a joke you know that right?"
"Oh-uh-um ye-yeah! Definitely!", he stuttered
"Except the moron and a jerk part", I added further. He then greeted me a good night and finally I went back to my sleep......what a life........

Next day - 9 am

"Hey, Rhyss. I know we didn't get off on good terms yesterday. But if you wanna know. You can call me today at 12pm. Lemme know. Bye". This is my dad's message. He left it at about 6 in the morning today. If I'm gonna get a reason then I'm calling whenever he tells. But before that, I must text D what I texted Ace. I quickly copied and pasted it into D's dms. I'll wait till he sees and replies. Meanwhile, I'm gonna continue my project. Yeah you got it, Ace Calderone project. It makes sense now.
Firstly, he knew Lilie. Atleast her birthday and favorite food. Gold info cause lord, even I didn't know she loved pasted tomatoes with pasts dumped in it. Yuck!
Then how he acted pitiful to my believes when I told him that I believe Lilie would never cheat. All because HE is the one she cheated on Alex with.
Also how he had the other copy of the photo of Lilie and him kissing eachother. Disgusting. And that's because HE was the guy in the picture.
Lastly, how he was almost surprised when I told him that he ki-
I paused and gave it a thought. I didn't wanna believe it. And I didn't wanna think but I did.
killed.........Lilie...........?
No. He wouldn't. Would he? But then again why would he act surprised to hear me saying he killed Lilie? Perhaps he was just shocked and hurt to know that I would or my dad would ever think so about him? Or was he just surprised? Caught? That was the end of my questions, and start of actions.

It was a good few minutes yet they seemed like seconds due to the billion million thoughts about the possibilities of what had happened to Lilie. I banged at his door vigorously. He looked so damn scared and annoyed when he opened the door. I sprinted past him, went up the stairs and sat on his bed. Which was a beautiful mess. "What the hell have you been up to?"
"Sleeping I believe?........alone", he smirked.
I gave him a half smile for a split second before saying "Tell me the truth and only the truth. Nothing but the truth"
He seemed perplexed at this and with a grin he said "Um...okay..?"
"Did you kiss Lilie or did she kiss you?"
It was if a rock had hit him on the face. Or perhaps the whole Mount Everest. He slowly sat down opposite to me, on the desk.
"Hmm. Where did you come up with that shit?". He was so calm. It was if he was just declaring me dumb.
"From facts, pictures, your own reactions and what not. Remember Ace, truth"
He looked down and around "Prove it"
"If you're so scared then that is my proof. What are you so afraid of? It's only a kiss-", I carefully put the next words "- not something criminal"
I saw an inch of relief on his face before he could finally answer, "I did"
"Huh. Lover boy #1 is you then. Not D". The answer was just what I needed and expected. Yet somehow it managed to upset me. Furthermore it type of made me not wanna know the rest of it anymore. But I can't stop now. "Does Alex know?"
"What's the use?"
"Nothing. But he must know. That you're better than him"
We gave eachother a smile before D came bursting through the door.
"Tell me now. Did Mr.Cameron or did he not help Luke kill Breanne?"
What. The. F-
