That one moment...

Chapter 21

             Elena Johnson

I woke with heavy head and swollen eyes.I noticed that Jessica was neither beside me nor she was anywhere to find in my room.suddenly realisation hit me I have to go office oh God! Time...time ... I hurriedly picked up my phone.I saw I had a new text from Jessica
"don't panic when you get up ,I have called your boss informing her that your sick that's why couldn't make it to office and she sent you wishes to get well...and don't worry I will back at 10:30 am " I sighed.
Its 10 am she will be back within 30 minutes.
I don't know why but I felt so weird in my room like this wasn't  mine but I have lived in this home and room for years,it never felt a strange place before even when mom and Louis were blaming me for  dad's death. May be because now I know the truth.I don't know whether I  should be happy about it or sad.I sighed with closed eyes.
I think I should take bath only it can make my condition a little better.

After taking shower I went downstairs.Louis was settled on sofa busy watching some show and there's was no sign of mom.

As soon a Louis noticed me he frowned "what happened to you?"

Mom isn't home should I tell him ,I have to some day ,why not to get over with  it right now.But will he believe me ? How will he take it ?

"Hello?". Louis asked again interrupting my inner battle.

"Louis ...I have to talk to you ?"I said with sweaty hands.

"Am listening." He replied,his eyes still on tv.

"Louis its about dad...."

His expressions changed as soon as those words left my mouth and he looked towards me with blank face.

"Dad was murdered Louis ...that accident was a plan ..."I said settling beside him.

"By who ? " he choked.
I looked at him searching in his eyes whether there a little sign of trust for me.
"Who ??"he shouted that it startled me .

"By mom ...."I wasn't able to complete because Louis got up from his seat fiercely ,roaming the place with anger I was confused that his anger was for who ?

"Are you out of your mind ? You think ..you can manipulate me like this with your puffy eyes and sad face ...you are wrong .."he glared at me.

"Louis please listen ..."I stood up.

"No..no..stop ! Don't you dare say a word against my mother ..first you took my father away from me now you want me to hate my mother for the crime she would never even think about ..what has gotten into you ? Why are you doing this ? Are you even my sister anymore?" He roared and I looked at him hoping  that he will listen to me.I opened my mouth but soon closed it.

"I Don't want to listen to your filth anymore...just stop it." He said and stormed out of the house.

I stood there like a statue unable to absorb his words.How will I even make him believe the truth? He will never listen to me.God ! Please help me.

I only had 15 minutes left and I was sweating like hell.I don't know whether I will be able to confront Elena 's mother ,whether she will give in easily,whether she will confess her crimes and cruelty infront of me .All these questions were running through my mind .

but I have to do this ,you can do this . I encouraged myself.

I sighed and messaged Jessica and Jake ;my friend in police  about there location and left for park lane.

When I was about to leave dad stopped me.

"Thank you son for doing this and I know its really hard for you but trust yourself."dad said and patted my shoulder.
