The Other Biersack

It Wasn't Me.

It's been two days since I've seen or heard from Mitch. I hope he's not mad at me. I mean she kissed me. But I wanted her to. God I'm such a fucked up person. I curled up in my bed, wrapped my arms around my legs tight and cried. I didn't think a person should cry this much. I layed awake for hours. I watched the sun rise. I was supposed to be at school in an hour but I couldn't bring myself to get out of bed. I don't wanna believe Mitch did those things but the chief made it sound very possible. Andy burst in my room shaking me. "Get up, you're gonna be late."

"I'm not going." I sniffle.

"And why not." He sits on my bed.

"I just need a break. From everything." I sit up. He nods and pats my shoulder. Before he walks out my door he looks at me. "We'll get through this. All of this. Together we can do anything. Remember?" I giggle. He smiles. "I love you. Now get some rest." "I love you too. Now get out." I chuckled and threw a pillow at him.

I was in the kitchen attempting to make food. My phone started ringing, I didn't know the number but answered anyway. "Hello?"

"Dylin?"

"Um yeah. Who is this?" I lean on the sink.

"Noah.. can um.. can we talk?"

"Yeah totally just come over."

"Alright."

That was weird. I texted Alex asking how Jack was. He got sick right after we left camp. I kept checking my phone and nothing. I finally got my food made. I headed to the living room and plopped on the couch. I helped Milo up too.

Noah got there about the time I was done eating. "Um.. hi.." He sits down.
"You alright?" He shook his head no.

"Noah, you can talk to me."

"I know it's just really weird."

"How so?"

" I haven't seen you in so long. I-I miss you."

"You what?"

"I miss you Dylin."

"No. No. You can't do this. I'm finally okay without you."

"You're not okay. I know you."

"But I'm perfectly fine without you in my life. You can't just leave and pop back up when you feel like it."

"I'm sorry."

"For fucks sake Noah. You're always sorry. I'm so tired of you coming and going as you please. I think you need to leave." He noded and walked out the door. That was the lettuce on the fuck you sandwich. Just when I thought my day was fucked enough my phone dinged. Unknown. Of course. I open it and I dropped my phone immediately. It was Alex hanging in front of a wall. Guts on the outside of his body. On the wall was 'I said no cops.' Spelled out in blood.

I sat paralyzed for like 10 minutes before Milo started barking. I texted Rina, Kammie, and Kellin. About 20 minutes later Rina showed up with Devon and Kammie came alone but Kellin never showed.

"What's going on?" Devon asked. I paced back and forth before answering.

"Okay so lately some weird shit has been happening."

"Dylin, you don't gotta worry no more they got the guy that did this." Kammie rubs my arm.

"No. No they didn't." I shake my head.

"You don't think Mitch did this? Come on he's got psycho white boy killer written all over his odly perfect face." Devon said.

"I know he didn't."

"How?" Rina asks. I pulled out my phone and showed them.

"Oh hell no. That's some crazy white people shit." Devon says. Rina gagged and Kammie had no reaction.

"You guys ready to listen now?" They all nod. "Okay so who ever is doing this fucked up shit, is calling me and texting me."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Rina said with irritation in her voice.

"He said he'd kill you."

"Oh fuck. Nope. I'm out, I'm too black for this shit." Devon heads to the door.

"You can't back out now. He probably knows I've told all of you. And if we split up or back out we'll all end up dead."

"Fuck." He sits back down.

"Why is he doing this?" Kammie says with tears in her eyes.

"Because he said no cops." Kammie turned white as a ghost.

"I'm so sorry, I had no idea." She begins to cry.

"Kammie what did you do?"

"I called the cops on Mitch."

"Why?" Rina said with confusion.

"He came home and was being a dick. So I got upset and told the cops he tried to attack me and he was seen at all three Murders and had been m.i.a."

"Wait what do you mean he came home? He lives with you?!?!!" I snap.

"He's my step brother."

"Oh shit." Devon blurts out. I didn't say anything. I couldn't believe that he didn't tell me.

"They found a murder weapon in his truck Dylin." Kammie informs me.

"No. That's not true." I say fighting back tears.

"They released him this morning. He's at the house. He told me all about it." She grabs my hand.

"I don't care. I don't want to see him any way." I pull away. Rina hugs me tight. I don't hug back. I just stand there so furious.

After the little meeting yesterday things have slowed down. I reported Alex missing. The sheriff Said he'd look into it. I'm a little more stable today then I was yesterday. I put my science book in my locker. I went to pull out my journal but it wasn't there. Nearly throwing myself into a panic attack I rummaged through my bag. After everything that has happened that's the last thing I need is to happen. A hand on my shoulder scared the shit out of me. "Looking for this?" He hands my the notebook. "How'd you get that?..."

"Relax you left it in my truck." I take it from him. And turn away.

"Come on you can't possibly think it was me." I pull him aside.

"Alex is dead. And so is Miya."

"It couldn't have been me. I was sitting in a cell for the past two days."

"I know Mitch. I've just run out of options. And I'm scared. Everyone I love is dying and I-I can't lose you." I almost started crying. "I gotta get to class."I say before he can respond. I guess I'll have to do this on my own. No one else can die. Unless it's me.
