Chapter 23: Picture of Who I Thought You Were

»Eddie's POV«

It had been three days since all that happened with Merel. I still don't know what exactly happened, but something serious did happen. During all of it I received an apology from Ashley for all the shit that went down. I really missed her being my friend so I accepted.

Now, she practically begged me to go back to Seamus and Clash's place with her so she could get a few things. I don't want the poor thing having to go through that alone. It'll be the first time facing Seamus since he dumped her. If it was me, I'd be scared shitless to face my Ex.

Ash was shaking as I knocked on the door. When Clash opened up he looked confused as hell.

"Um, hi Clash." Ash greeted him, avoiding his eyes.

I took over. "Ash forgot some stuff and I came along to help her hall it." I smiled. "Seamus home?"

"Come on in." He gestured for us to go in. "And yeah, he is, but he hasn't come out of his room, that I know of, in three days."

I raised an eyebrow. "Sophia said he visited Merel both days she was in the hospital and the past two nights he's been at her apartment."

Clash shrugged. "I guess he's been going out at night. At least I know he's alive."

As we came into the living room/kitchen I was a little shocked to see Aleks there. I didn't know him and Clash were close enough of friends to be hanging out. He smiled at me, but it fell when he saw Ashley.

"Any luck?" Clash asked him.

Aleks shook his head. "He won't open the door, or answer texts. Hell, he won't even tell me to fuck off let alone let me know he's okay."

"Are you talking about Seamus?" I interrupted.

Aleks hesitated to answer with Ash in the room, but he did nod his head. "We've been banging on the door for hours now. He won't answer." He said.

Ash broke out of her shy state. "The fire escape is at his window. He could of snuck out." She said quietly.

"It would explain a lot." Clash added.

"Lets find out!" I replied excited to possible break something.

Clash sighed and walked over to the door. He knocked light at first, but picked up speed and sound.

"I swear to God," He said through the door. "You don't answer, I'll break this door down."

Within thirty seconds of saying that he held up to his word. Clash busted the door down; probably screwed up his shoulder too. When he opened the door, we all just kinda stood there in shock.

Seamus wasn't in the room and the window was cracked confirming out suspicions. That wasn't the shocking part. The whole damn room was torn apart. There was pictures of a woman pinned to his wall with files and razors. One was on the floor and there was a large cut in the wall. I picked up the photo to see the rip in it matched the one on the wall.

There was writing all across the walls about who ever she was.

You're dead

I hate you

I wanna kill you

You can't hide bitch

You're a.. 

I won't say the next word.

The girl in the photo's looked like a wannabe version of Merel, except she wasn't a tenth as beautiful. In fact, she was a bit of a dog. She looked like trailer park trash. Then I realized one of the sentences had her name...
