12. Under the lamppost

(Song above, 'Photograph' - Ed Sheeran. Listen to it in the background. It helps with the emotion and the title will make sense if you do! Ps. I know it's a REALLY LONG chapter, sorry I got carried away. Ok anyway, enjoy! <3) (it's 1903 words long... Oops)

22nd March

3:54am

Joe's p.o.v
The sound of my converse hitting the pavement echoed through the lifeless streets. My heart thudded and my mind was preoccupied.

As I got closer with every step, the ear piercing sounds of sirens in the distance indicated I was getting closer.

Almost there, Sugg. Your doing this for Zoe.

I turned a corner, my shoes screeching as I sharply and swiftly bounded down the next street. In the dark of the early morning I could faintly see red and blue flashes from up ahead.

Oli's house.

Closer, closer. Further, just a little further Joseph.

Heart pumping rapidly, mind throbbing, tears dropping.

Oh, I'm a mess right now.

The house now in sight. I raced toward it, stopping as I stood outside the building. I bent over, breathing in heavy, sharp breaths. My chest burned, but I was doing this for my older sister.

Tegan could have killed her.

I stood up straight again, resting my hand on my ribs. Mouth was dry and eyes were red. I looked like something out of a horror film.

My life is a horror film.

I sighed and started to approach the building.

BAM!

I stumbled back, covering my ears, falling to the ground. Then a sudden scream. Followed by a howl of grief, a sudden fear shadowed over me. I looked up toward the house.

No, no, they can't... She can't....

I swung myself to my feet and stumbled toward the door. There was a ringing noise echoing in my brain from the sound of what seemed to be a gun from earlier. My hand latched onto the door handle and I pushed it open, only to be meet by what I feared most.

"No... No..." He grieved, holding her dead body in his arms

I watched the orange haired boy hold Tegan in his arms, swaying her body back and forth. His tears falling and soaking into his shirt. Her blood stained body, her mangled hair and bashed up clothes.

"Josh. What happened?" I questioned in pure shock.

He jumped slightly, startled by my presence. His tear filled eyes looked up at me.

"Josh where are the police? Shouldn't the be in here? What- what happened?" I questioned so quickly I could barely process any of it.

"S-s-....she killed h-hers-elf to m-make you happy. The p-police dude.... Went into the lounge r-oom." He sobbed.

I approached him, crouching down and placing a hand on his back.

It was like a demon had taken over him.

"DONT FUCKING TOUCH ME SUUG. YOUR THE REASON SHES DEAD. JUST BECAUSE YOU LOVE CASPAR! HER MISSING BROTHER!" He raged at me, batting my hand away from him causing me to stumble back.

'Just because you love Caspar.'

What?! No... N-no I don't.

'Her missing brother.'
