Bloody hands [UNEDITED]

chapter 12

Chase and lifeline were downstairs, getting to know each other, I love how they instantly clicked.

Wish there was no work for me to do right now, but there is a lot "Lexi, get the observation party back, I need report right now" there was a group tailing David and his moves. There is someone else, I just know it, but who? Who is this person? Got to be someone close to that Arnold bastard, or else why would he listen to them. "Curtis, I think we should give them more time, it was not that long they started, I don't think you'll get something good" true, but I'm getting impatient. "Okay".

It is night time right now. Dinner was served, today only me and Lifey were gonna eat. After consulting a bit more, we came to a conclusion that Lexi will go and take the report, if nothing important is found, they'll keep looking.

"Hey.." lifey sat down opposite of me, her voice sounded a bit dry "Hey, are you tired? You sound weird" wow, way to go using your perfect vocabulary "Oh, its nothing" she smiled, but anyone can say she cried. What was she hiding? Did Chase say something mean? "Is it Chase? If yes, I'll make sure he apologises" she was a bit surprised "no no no! He done nothing wrong, I told you, don't worry" if it's not him, then what? "Ok" maybe I should give her some time, she'll eventually say it to me.

After dinner, we returned to our respective rooms, as I was passing through her room, I could still hear the sounds of sniffles, it took me everything to not open the door and hug her.

Why is she crying, this is the only thought going through my mind while I try to sleep. My thoughts started to run more wild as the night went. Why was she sad? If Chase did nothing....is she in love with someone other than me? I swear I'll kill them all, wait, did she fall for my brother?!! It could be, it all started after he left! I grabbed my phone a made a call. The call was received After 6 rings "hello....?" A sleepy Chase said groggily, it made me more furious, I am sleepless here and he's sleeping so well?! "FUCK YOU!" I shouted at him "Oh.....thanku...mmm....fuck you ....too, bye" call cutted. He's half asleep talking gibberish.

I mustered up all my courage and asked the question at lunch "lifey, do you love my brother?" Just to be clear "love as in a man, a romantic intrest" she almost spitted out her food "are you crazy? I would rather love you than that cheesecake" thank god, she said she'll love me.....love me..... love me......love me.

Before I realised, it was night time, I daydreamed about her words ,are you crazy? I would rather love you than that cheesecake, that I forgot to take care of her.

I was in front of her room, as I expected, she was crying, but this time, a bit too much. I opened the door, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, backfacing me.

I ran to her, hugged her and asked "Lifey, please tell me what's the reason you are sad! And I'm not taking no as an answer this time, it pains me to see you like this, please" she hugged me a bit more before removing my arms "will you tell me now?" She just nodded like a baby "I.....my......my.....my........my favorite charecter died" she busted into tears revealing a book in her hand. God.

............

I tucked her in, she slept like a baby after all that crying, geez, I was worried for nothing, well, she did say it was nothing. Oh well, but that reminds me of something really important, I dailed a number "Hey Alex, its me.....yeah, I need Hana, my Lifey's friend, asap, yeah, thanks, bye"

Hana, she'll be useful.
