The Assistant: 3

aaliyah pov

thirty minutes later the police are still here waiting for billie to come back. my texts still won't go through neither will my calls.

i grab kai and hold him. a call finally goes through and it lets me leave a voicemail. "i know damn well your ass didn't get up and leave. bitch you're insane. answer your fucking phone"

i throw my phone on the couch and pace around the room trying not to crash out.

"do you know where she could've possibly went?" he asks

"no"

"well, we sent back up to her parents and brother houses. we also sent back up to your office" he say

i don't say anything when suddenly the front door opens to a confused looking billie. her hands are full with groceries and the police runs up to her immediately handcuffing her. "wait! what the fuck?!?" she asks confused

"they found evidence against you" i say

"what?!? evidence about what?!? i'm sorry, what's going on?"

"you're under arrest for the murder of ellie, this time you won't be able to get out of it. we have the proof loud and clear" the police officer say

"no! what?!? that's not right! i didn't kill her"

she's actually right, she didn't. i did.

the house is soon empty, in a mess due to the search the police put forward. just kai and i in this silent house.

i sit him down on the sofa and look around the house frustrated. i grab my phone and immediately call sierra.

soon she's over listening to me rant, she offered to help me get the house back to normal but i declined.

she didn't listen anyways.

"so are you going to call or visit her?" sierra asks

"of course i am, i have questions about what they found. i know for a fact she didn't kill ellie. ellie was in the hospital, billie's been here every since she got back from the hospital"

"hm...so you think they're lying about the affair stuff?"

"i don't know, maybe it's the truth. i don't know what's going on anymore." i say

"yeah you should talk to her" she say

hours later, the house is almost clean thankfully for sierra. without her, i probably would've still been on the first room.

"i'm going to go pick up the twins from daycare, let me know if you need anything while im out" she tells me before hugging me

"thank you" i say

-

i just walked through the doors of the jail, my heels echoing since im on lunch break from work.

i enter the private room and see billie sitting there with her arms folded. "aaliyah!" her face immediately lights up

"hi" i smile

"you do know i didn't kill her right? you know i was in bed all night" she defends herself "i have no idea what proof they have of an affair between us but i promise you, there no affair"

"i know you didn't kill her" i say

"and you know i would never cheat on you right?"

"mhm hmm" i nod hesitantly

"why'd you hesitate?" she say her smile dropping

"i don't fucking know what's real or not anymore. so much is going on, i'm sick and tired of this drama. i'm tired of everything"
