Sirens were heard as well as the faint buzzing that accompanied such trauma, people die - but not like this. See, death is a fortune to some... but a prison to others. Whilst our inevitable death is what keeps us alive, it always finds a way to you sooner than you'd expect.
"Holly? Andrew?!" Lily frantically said, rushing into the ground floor of the hospital.
"Oh fuck- thank god you guys are okay." Fin ran over, giving a slight nod to Andrew.
"We heard what happened, but wait- is Harry?..." Lilys thoughts overwhelmed the end of her sentence.
Holly gave a slight nod, dried tears staining her cheeks. "I thought we could all-"
"Don't, we're gonna catch this dickhead." Andrew stated, determination with a hint of unsteadiness lingering in his tone.
"Where is everybody else?" Holly asked, thinking more would arrive.
"We're all having a meeting at Jamies, we need to discuss our next moves as if Harry was right then..." Fin cut himself off, unwilling to finish.
"No time to waste then." Andrew stated, before Holly and Fin helped him into a wheelchair.
An hour passed before everyone gathered at Jamies house, instability lingering in the air as they spoke.
"One of you killed Harry you fucking dick-" Fin shouted this at the group as the trio entered the house.
"WOAH WHAT? Harry is?..." James cut himself off, unsure of he was willing to finish that sentence.
"Oh for fucks sake-" Jamie added, being in complete disbelief.
"Are you sure he's?-" Will asked, his hopes getting the better of him.
"I saw with my own eyes, his neck being cut-" Holly added, tears streaming down her face at this confrontation.
Lily stared at the group, before realising that this is real. "Are you guys okay?"
Andrew, Fin and Holly all nodded though with uncertainty.
Chloe glanced around at everyone, unsure of who to trust.
"Look, if we all clear our heads we can sort this out-" Chloe calmly said, wanting to move past this.
"Fuck that- we need to find this cunt!" Fin cut Chloe off, wanting justice for the murder of Harry.
Andrew stared at the group, "Give me your alibis."
"I was with Andrew the whole time in the hospital, that's my alibi-" Holly muttered, eyes dragging down.
"Me and my boyfriend were having a great time, until somebody rang to say that my best friend was brutally murdered." Chloe annoyingly muttered this.
"I was literally playing Pokemon-" Jamie defensively said.
"Me and Lily were both going shopping, until I decided to check on you guys - which I am glad I did." Fin defended Lily and himself here.
"I-, I was at home... thinking" James muttered, unsure of his own defense.
"Was heading to Jamies, thought that we shouldn't be alone right now but even so it didn't help Harry..." Will sputtered this, seemingly helpless.
"Convincing alibis, though it's clear one of you is lying." Andrew stated, determined in his detective work.
"James, how does anyone know you ACTUALLY got attacked in the hospital?" Andrew accused this, wanting a bit more than a stuttered response.
"I-, I was alone but-" James couldn't get a sentence out, unsure of how to prove it.
"Say no more, that's interesting."
