Who to Trust?

- Olivia -

    "Billy, oh my god, you're bleeding," Jamie grabbed onto Billy's wrist and looked at his arm.

    "I don't understand. I don't understand." Ashley was crying and mumbling out choked words they could barely understand. Stu seemed zoned out, out of breath and sweaty but, he combed Ashley's hair back and rocked her in his arms.

    "It doesn't hurt that bad," Billy looked down at the cut. "I don't even remember this happening."

    "We need to get you to a hospital," Jamie said.

    "We need to get Brittany to a hospital!" Ashley looked up at Jamie. Her eyes bloodshot and wild.

    "She's dead Ashley." Jamie snapped back. "There isn't anything they can do for her. Billy is bleeding out."

    Olivia heard everything going on around her but, she hadn't looked away from the body dangling from the tree. She was unsure that she could. The dead eyes staring back at her. Why her? Some random girl... if the killer was after Jamie, why someone she didn't care about? Why not Billy or herself?

    Flashes of the killer saving her from Paul appeared in her mind. Really, those few moments had been playing in her head on repeat since it happened. Why didn't the killer just let her die?

    "They are back here!" Derek ran into the backyard. The police and a few reporters followed quickly. Derek ran straight to Olivia. Flashing cameras clicked as they fought to get a close look at the scene. Derek grabbed onto Olivia and pulled her into a hug. Her whole body felt like pins and needles were prickling her skin and her limbs were heavy.

    "Olivia?" Derek pulled back and looked into her eyes.

    "Paul's dead." She said, her tone was so soft, so unbothered. She knew that probably wouldn't be a good look if a reporter saw how she said it. Olivia couldn't muster a tone of caring, she could barely speak to begin with.

    "I know... I know. Are you hurt?" He asked.

    "Maybe," she glanced down at her hands. Derek looked at her neck and let out a hiss. "Holy fuck, Liv. You need to go to the hospital."    

    "Do I?" She asked.

-Jamie-

    She stayed next to Billy while he got stitched up. Everything had gone so haywire, so quickly. She could tell that Billy was pissed. Stu and him had planned two murders to happen that night and only got one. Cici and the other sorority girl weren't their kills. They'd been distracted by Jamie, it was her fault she was the weak link. This copycat killer was going to give more problems if they didn't stop him soon. Stu took Ashley back to her place after they both had been questioned by the police.

    "Can you two explain what happened again?" A random policeman asked. They'd already been questioned. In a room two doors down, Olivia and Derek were being checked out.

    "Olivia and I went to grab our jackets..." She explained and for the first time in awhile she didn't have to lie. She really had been attacked, she really had feared for her life.

    "Stu and I were outside," Billy said. "We heard Jamie scream. I tried to get in the front door while Stu checked the back. That's when he found the other girl..." he did a good job of sounding sad. He was just as good an actor as she was. "He was going to get help when Ashley came to the backyard. He started to comfort her."

    "Did you see Paul Perkins, Michael Altieri or Derek Feldman at all during that time?" The cop asked. Jamie and Billy glanced at each other before looking at the cop and shaking their heads.
