Life, Death, Cupcakes And Everything In Between

Chapter 2: I really should explain....

If you are curious as to why I had a sudden mood swing, well you are going to get your answer right now. Ashley is a friend who has been looking into the police investigation for me. Basically, she gets all the sciency stuff for me, and she said the only time she would show up in person is if she had some major news. Naturally, I am overly excited right now. This could be the piece of evidence I need to crack the case.
'Hey Ash! Come on up to my room!' I call. Ashley bounds up the stairs, grinning from ear to ear.
'They found a strand of blue hair on Yaz's bed. I wonder, who has blue hair and hated Yaz?' She says
'Eric! But... No. He loves me, why would he kill my best friend. Where's the motive?' I ask.
'Don't you see?' She explains, 'He did it because he loved you! Eric always went on about how Yaz was a bad influence on you. I think he might of thought that if Yaz was out of the way, he would have you to himself. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense.'
I sit down on my bed, dumbstruck. A single, fat, salty tear runs down my cheek. Ashley is correct. It makes perfect sense for him to be the killer, but there is a little part of me that hopes he isn't because if he is, then the only boy to ever love me killed me emotionally. There is actually a legitimate reason for me thinking that Eric is innocent and I suppose that it should have come first. Eric was with me the night of Yaz's murder. We watched Ant Man together. I love that movie. Yaz got me into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
