You slowly wake up to the sound of rain hitting your windows. You lean up slowly and felt the bed was empty. You turn your head and saw that Childe was gone. You pick up the phone and saw his message.

"I'm off for work sweetheart. I'll see you tn <3"

You smile at his message and reply back.

"Okay, see you tn :)"

You place your phone down and stretch your arms out wide. After a few seconds, you get up and use the bathroom. As you were brushing your teeth, you thought about what happened last night. About how you opened up to Childe about your past, telling him you loved him and how great the sex was this time. You hear your phone ringing in the other room. You quickly brush your teeth and rushed to answer it. You thought it was one of your colleagues but it was Xinyan. You answered it.

"Hey Xinyan."

"Morning Y/N, how are you?"

"I'm good and you?"

"I'm..a little disturbed but I'm alright."

"Disturbed? By what?"

"Is Childe there with you?" She asked in a low tone.

"No, he's at work."

"Okay, turn on the T.V and go to the XX news channel."

Most of your friends knew you didn't like watching the news. Too much politics and negative stuff happening in the world all the time, you didn't want to sit there and people talking about it.

"Umm..okay?"

You go out into the living and turn the T.V on. You switch channels to get the right one. You hit the channel she was talking about and saw them talking about the restaurant your friends and you went too.

"-and I turned around and saw his body just lying there on the ground. That was my best friend I...ugh."

The woman on T.V started crying. You were confused by what she said until the camera man point to the scene of the crime.

"Police are still looking for the criminal who killed the waiter Chris Hatcher last night at XXX restaurant behind the employee parking lot. Police are asking everyone who might've been there that night and if they've seen anything out of the ordinary."

The camera points to a police men.

"When we got to the scene of the crime, there were no weapons or anything around to have create such a wound like that. And it looked like his body was there since last night up til now so it's gotten pretty bad."

"Y/N, do you see it?"

Of course you saw it. You were too shocked to say anything. To think that you were just there and that could've been you.

"Omg Xinyan, we were just there! He even served us how..."

"Please listen to me when I say this. But I think Childe has something to do with it."

"Excuse me?" You said loudly.

"Listen-"

"Xinyan, I know you don't like him but in what way, shape or form, is it okay to accuse him of murdering someone?!"

"I saw him walking to the employee parking lot! I don't know what he was doing over there but I tried following him but our ride was here and we had to go."

"He left his phone inside the restaurant, he went through the front I saw him in the mirror."

"Maybe that's what he wants you to think."
