Smoke & shadows

10:30 am

Everyone's gone home their scared because of what happened last night . I'm scared . I sit on my bed listening to music . I keep feeling like there's going to be noises if I take my ear phones out . I need to get water but I'm scared to get off my bed . I out my feet on the cold floor and stand up . I take my earphone out and start walking to the door .

Then I feel it one of the floor boards move and spilt under my feet . My foot falls into it and I scream in pain .

Fuck sake .

I sit down and try to get my foot out and I do . My foot is bleeding from were I scraped my foot but the cuts aren't deep so a plaster will do .

I go to stand up when I see it a book under the floor . I pick it up and sit on the bed .

It's a red book I open it and it's the first to pages are covered in drawings then in the bottom corner it says

Property of Amber don't open .

This belonged to the girl . The dead girl . I open it to the next page and I gasp the same sentence over and over again .

It says I love him

I flick through the pages and it keeps saying no it over and over again . I keep going through the book and the writing is changing but it still says the same thing over and over again

I love him

I get to the last page and I gasp as stuck in the back of the book is a photo of Tate with no shirt on standing in this room written on the bottom it has a date 2:7:14
I put the book down on my bed and I grab my phone . I don't know what to do I do something stupid and call Jason . He answers right away

"Ava hi " he says sounding shocked that I had called
"I need you to help me you need to see this come to my house now " I say
" Ava are you okay " he asks
"Do I sound okay? Get your ass here now " I say then cutting him off

A few minutes later the bell goes I stand up and try to walk with the foot now covered in blood I grab the diary and walk down the stairs .

I open the door and Jason is there half dressed .

"Oh my god Ava are you okay " he asks then he sees my foot
"Fuck Ava here you need put a bandage on that your bleeding every where " he says
"Yeah I can barley walk but that's the least of our problems " I say I go to tell him about the diary but he cuts me off
"Here I'll help " he says then he picks me up .This takes me by surprise . He takes me to the kitchen and sits me on the kitchen counter and goes to find a bandage . He starts wrapping my foot in it .
"So what's happened " he asks sitting next to me
"I found this under the floor it spilt when I stood in it that's how I cut my foot it belonged to Amber " I say handing it to him he reads the pages looking shocked then he gets to the end and sees the photo

" I.. I don't understand .. Tate hates her .. This doesn't make sense " he says
"I know but I knew you needed to see it I'm so sorry Jason " I say taking his hand
" you need to keep it some where safe Ava because maybe that's what she meet by he's here as in Tate " he says

Then the door goes I hop off the table and Jason goes to answer it but no one is there .
"Hello?" He calls out but no one replies
So he closes the door then I smell it smoke I turn and look into the kitchen and the diary had caught on fire
"JASON THE DIARY " I scream at him he runs into the kitchen and grabs it and throws it into the sink and turns on the tap
"How the fuck did that happen " he asks
"I don't know it just caught on fire " I say
"Most of its gone even the photo at the backs burnt " he says
" now we have no proof " he says then the door goes again

Jason walks back into the hall and opens the door and tates there
"Hey Jason mum wants you back in the house " Tate says then Jason grabs him and pushes him to the ground and jumps on him the

Jason punches Tate in the face and his noes starts bleeding
" you fucking son of a bitch you slept with Amber didn't you " Jason says standing up over Tate

"Wow Jason I didn't know you liked the dead bitch that much well sorry bro" Tate says I'm shocked how can he be so cruel
"Tate get the fuck out now " I say
"Ava keep out of this "Tate replies
" Tate get the fuck out my house before Jason kicks the shit out off you " I say Tate stands up wiping the bid of his face
" fine you weren't that special anyway " Tate turns to me and walks forward and takes his hoodie back
" you can take the hoodie but you can have this too" I say
"What are you chatting about " he asks
Then before I even know I'd done it I just slapped Tate across the face and he storms out leaving me and Jason alone
