When Lilly had said it was Jake, I had jumped, lifting myself off the carpet. It was strange to me that Jake had contacted her, but not me. Why hadn't he? I've been worried about him for four days, waiting for him to tell me what happened, so why contact her and not me?
"Jake... Why do you always do this to me?" I say, putting a hand to my head. This man drives me crazy in so many ways. "I guess if it's him, I can't refuse."
I realize that Lilly has written to me, but because I'm surprised, I haven't noticed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lilly
When I posted the video about you and Jake, he told me something shortly after
Macie?
Are you there?
I knew you wouldn't listen to me
Macie
I'm sorry
I'm just processing that you told me it's Jake
Lilly
And who else do you want it to be?
I wouldn't be in a hurry to contact you if it wasn't for something else
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I bite my fist, holding back a scream. I need patience, because I'm going to Duskwood and there will be another murder.
I sit on the couch, trying to get comfortable. If this is going to be a long conversation, I might as well do it without pacing around the house unconsciously wanting to strangle her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Macie
I'm sorry that it's not every day that the girl who wanted to cancel me online sends me messages asking for help
And yes, I know, Jake told me
Then you deleted the video
Lilly
Yes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lilly starts typing, but after a while, she deletes it. It was going to be a long message.
She resumes typing and what I read makes me doubt again. I want to trust Jake; I have since day one. I don't want to think that he lied to me about him and Hannah.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lilly
Jake told me what connection he had with Hannah
But he couldn't prove it
And I took the video down afterwards, but I gave him time to show me proof
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Typical of Jake, his mysteries are nothing new anymore. It's not that I'm angry with him, but knowing that he has been accused by this little girl ―because I can't see her as that, an immature girl― at least he should give her proof so that she doesn't get him into trouble again, with his pursuers after him, it would be dangerous.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Macie
Upload that video again and I swear I'll sue you for defamation!
Lilly
If you help me, then I won't
Because I clearly don't trust you either, remember?
You're both suspects in my sister's kidnapping
Macie
And why would I kidnap her, exactly?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She writes again but erases. Of course, she still doesn't have that proof that we are the kidnappers, I don't know why she insists that I am a suspect in Hannah's disappearance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lilly
Look, I only know what he sent me, okay?
He sent me a link with nothing but the words ''Macie is the key''
