I stood there frozen, for what seemed like forever. I was afraid to move, thinking Sophie would see me. She must have heard me when i was calling her name. My whole body was shaking. I tried to calm down, my heart was pounding so hard i was afraid Sophie (wherever she was) would hear it. I slowly turned the water off, and closed the shower curtain. I couldn't believe my best friend was dead! I had nobody to talk to now. I could tell my mom, but she would never believe that. Unless i had proof! Suddenly i heard a giggle coming from downstairs. I stopped breathing so i could hear. The giggling continued, louder this time. I walked out of the bathroom as quietly as possible. The giggling grew into full out laughter now. I stepped down the stairs, pausing between each step to listen. The laughter stopped. It was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. I walked into the kitchen. There was a half eaten peanut butter sandwich on the table, and a glass of milk. The milk was still cold. I saw a shadow move swiftly around the corner, towards the living room. I ran to the living room, and there sat Sophie, laughing at the sitcom on the tv. She was acting like i wasn't even standing there. "Sophie!" I shouted. She froze. She turned the tv off, but didn't move. "Hello Brooke. I've been expecting you." She said steadily. "Why did you kill Stacey?!" I screamed uncontrollably. "Now Brooke, theres no need for you to raise your voice, it wasn't my fault." Said Sophie standing up and facing me. "What do you mean?! It's not my fault you killed Stacey!" I shouted. "Of course it is! I wouldn't have killed her if you didn't break our deal!" She shouted back. I remembered our deal. It was my fault! I suddenly burst out crying, and fell to my knees. "Oh Brooke, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to make you cry!" Sophie ran over to me and wrapped her arms around me tightly. My plan was working. I pulled the knife out of my back pocket and stabbed her arm. She shrieked so loud, i had to cover my ears. She yanked the knife out of her arm and flung it right at me!
