Running Low - Shawn Mendes Fanfiction

Part 4

   Shawn and I got to the police station.
"I'm detective Ross. Can I talk to you in private?" A detective asked.
I looked at Shawn. He nodded his head.
I took a deep breath. "Sure" I said.

I went back in one of those rooms. You know, the ones the suspects also go in. It's the room you'd never think you'd be in in you life.

I told the detective everything.....except about having sex with Shawn. That didn't really seem important or any of his business anyway. He started me up and down.
"Okay" he finally said. Then he let me go. He walked me out and asked to talk to Shawn in private and I told him no.

"Emily, it's no big deal. He has to ask everyone who knows anything" Shawn said.

"Well it's not going to be any help." I told him.

"Just go." The detective said. "If  either one of you were hiding anything though....I will find out" he started at us for a while and then walked away.

That night Shawn took me back to his place. I sat on the couch with a headache watching tv. Shawn brought me some tea and sat next to me. I flipped through stations on tv. I started to watch Criminal Minds. Some girl was locked in a basement when the killer came down and I shit the tv off.

"Maybe not the best thing to watch right now." Shawn said.
I put my head on his shoulder and he kissed the top of my head. We just stayed like that for a while.

"Don't you think it's a little weird......what that detective said earlier?" I asked.

"He's just doing his job I think. Don't stress over it." Shawn said and gave a little smile.

Later that night I woke up from a nightmare. I've heard of things where people would get nightmares about it after having a terrifying experience. Was I one of those people? I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't.

The next morning I was up and dragging. I went to the coffee shop downtown to get some peace and quiet. I got some coffee and sat by the window, looking out. I heard a familiar voice. I turned my head to see Detective Ross  that interviewed me yesterday.

I can't stay here. He will eventually notice me.

I casually went to walk out, avoiding eye contact when I ran into him.

"Sorry!" I said.

"No, it's....." He looked up and saw it was me. His voice changed and so did the expression on his face. His voice sounded more angry and almost like he had some gripe against me. "It's fine" he said.

I quickly walked outside. I took a breath of fresh air. At this point it was dark. I walked back to my car and got in it when I noticed through the mirror Ross had been following me. I drove away quickly.

I was a few blocks down when I saw his car following me. I drove off on a back road to try and get away from him. Five minutes past and I was in the woods. I turned around. His car wasn't behind me and I couldn't see headlights either. I turned my head back around and saw him right in front of my car when I couldn't stop in time and I hit him.

  My heart was racing. I got out of the car to see if he was still alive. He wasn't. I called Shawn.

  "Shawn I just did something really bad." I said.

"What happened?" Shawn asked worried.

"Ross was following me so I got on a back road in the woods and he went in front of my car and.....I hit him. Shawn, I don't know what to do! I just fucking killed somebody!" I started to cry.

"Emily, just tell me where your at and I'll help you."

"Please don't get the police! Shawn no one can know!"

Shawn got to me in about 15 minutes. He looked at the body then at me with tears in my eyes.

"Look, this is going to sound crazy but it's the only thing I can think of right now." Shawn said.

"What?" I asked.

"We need to get rid of the body."

"Shawn, what are we going to do?"

"Dump the body in the lake. I'll get any blood of the car and cover up any trace that any one of  us were here. We can leave his car. It'll look like he just disappeared." He said.

"Okay." I said. I knew I was going to have committed two crimes that night. But I didn't care.
