They dropped Lauren off then me.

Lucas- Do you need anything Mad?

Madeleine- Um. No. It's ok. Thanks. Bye guys.

They waved bye at me but lucas kept looking at me. I couldn't put my finger on why exactly.

I got in.

Madeleine's Mom- Your getting in late.

I looked at my watch.

Madeleine- Sorry mom. I'm going to bed right now.

Madeleine's Mom- Wait.

She stopped me in my tracks to getting up the stairs.

Madeleine's Mom- Is something wrong?

Madeleine- No mom.

Madeleine's Mom- Okay. Night darling.

Madeleine- Night mom.

I wanted to tell her really bad. But we had made a pact.

I was never the same after that night.. let's say that..

Next year. 1997 May.

I typed on my computer.

Nia- You ready to go?

Madeleine- Not yet.

Nia- GET. In the car. I don't have no more time to be waiting.

I looked at her smirking silly.

Nia- Move it teeth whitening.

I stiffened thinking about everything.

Nia- Ughhh. For god sake. Madeleine you're going home! And you will finally be able to get a tan on that pale chalk skin of yours.

Madeleine- *laughs* fine.

I looked at the small dorm. And I laughed knowing I was gonna miss it but it was time to go.

——————————
I smelt the fresh air of Southport. God knows it felt good to be home. Kinda..

Madeleine- Bye Nia!

Nia- Bye Madeleine I'll be seeing you!

I got in the house.

Madeleine's Mom- Oh! I'm just so happy you're back.

My mom hugged me tight.

Madeleine- *laughs* Yeah.

Madeleine's Mom- Oh. You have been receiving an awful lot of mail.

Madeleine- Oh.

She gave me a rubber band pack of mail.

I sat down on the couch looking through them.

One stood out to me.

It didn't have an address on it except mines..

I immediately opened it.

"I know what you did that night."

Written in Graffiti font it looked..

I gasped so loud.

Madeleine's Mom- Are you okay honey?

I crinkled it into a ball.

Madeleine- Who sent this.

I said crying a bit.

Madeleine's mom- I don't know. I'm wondering the same thing.

I rushed upstairs.
