"Could you sum up last night for me?" the police officer asked me.

I didn't answer, my eyes blank. Tears blurred my vision as I thought again and again of my best friend's lifeless body.

"If you want us to find the person who did this, I'm going to need you to cooperate." she said, seeing that I wasn't answering.

I finally looked up at the woman asking me these questions. She was full of good intentions, you could tell.

"We went to the Tokio Hotel concert, her favorite band." I finally spoke.

She smiled and asked me to continue.

"I met Tom during a break and he suggested I come with Sarah and Zoe to their afterparty, which I accepted knowing Sarah was dreaming about it." I continued.

Just then, I received a message. I looked at my cell phone discreetly. A message from the same stranger.

"If you tell anyone about me, I'll kill your other girlfriend."

I took a deep breath and continued my story.

"Afterwards we went to a club, I can't remember which one because they brought us. We danced and around maybe 3 o'clock I asked Tom to take me home, which he did. I went to bed and that was it."

She jotted things down in a notebook before looking up at me.

"That corroborates with what the others have said. I promise you we'll find the person who did this," she says with a benevolent smile.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the strength to return her smile. I got up and she opened the door for me to leave.

When I got to the waiting room, everyone was there. Zoe must have finished her interrogation before mine. Tom stood up suddenly to take me in his arms and stroke my back gently.

"They're going to find out who did this." he whispered.

I didn't reply, just enjoyed the moment of calm in his arms and closed my eyes.

The boys, then, offered to let us live with them while they investigated, and to protect us too, which we accepted.

We'd had time to pack our bags before the boys took us at their home.

The drive was very quiet. Georg was driving and at his side Zoe was looking out of the window at the scenery. Tom was at my side, gently stroking my leg with his thumb while I also looked out of the window. Bill and Gustav were on their phones.

We finally arrived at their place and I discovered a huge ass house. Normal I wanted to say, they must be loaded with money and there were 4 of them.

"Welcome home." Bill said with a little smile.

I returned his smile and Tom took my bags. I followed him to what must have been a guest room. It was enormous, probably half the size of our house.

"I hope you like it, and if you're too scared, my room's right next door." he said, winking at me before leaving me alone in my new room.

I decided to put my clothes straight into my dressing room and settle in, because I knew I'd have to stay here for a while.

When I'd finished, I took the opportunity to rest, as all these emotions hadn't finished exhausting me.

Just as I was about to close my eyes, someone knocked on my door.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"It's Zoe, can I come in?" replied the person.

"Sure."

She entered my room, closing the door behind her. I could see the tiredness in her eyes, she had dark circles under her eyes and her eyes were swollen from crying. All I wanted to do was take her in my arms.

"How are you doing, Cici?" she asked as she sat on the edge of my bed.

"Everything changed overnight, yesterday we were at Sarah's favorite band concert and now we're living with them because she's been murdered by a sicko who seems to have an obsession with me." I replied, feeling tears in my eyes.

She looked down at her feet, then up at me slowly.

"Have you told the police?" she finally asked.

"No, just during my interrogation he sent me a message that if I told them, he was going to kill you."

She stared at me, frightened. Then she came over and put her arms around me. We stayed like that for about ten minutes before someone knocked on the door again.

"Yes?" we both said at the same time.

"It's Tom, can I talk to you?" the person replied.

Zoe got up, not without kissing me on the forehead like a mother, opened the door and left to make way for Tom.

He approached and sat down on the same spot as Zoe, on the edge of my bed.

"I don't know if you remember, but this morning when you called me you told me you'd received threats." he finally said, caressing my ankle.
