Smiles secrets and everything inbetween

Part 6-"My mouth tasted like blood, i felt sick"

"Eliza, Dylan where the hell have you been" my mum shouted she looked like a maniac her hair was a mess she hadn't got any makeup on and she looked as if she didn't get any sleep.

I felt a sudden wave of guilt and shame wash over me, I should of texted her and told her where I was going no wonder she hasn't slept, and she had enough to worry about with the rent and her job she doesn't need the added stress of worrying about me.

"I'm so sorry mum, me and Dylan were walking and we lost track of time it was so late that we just slept at a hotel I know I should of called I was just so tired but it's no excuse"

I don't know why I Lied really my mum would of understood if I had of told her about the forest but Dylan's dad was there and I swore to Dylan I wouldn't tell anyone about it I couldn't do that to him.

"We'll talk that about that later Eliza the police aren't here because your didn't bother texting me, I'm used to you not coming home when your supposed to" said my mum I could hear the hurt in her voice.

"Then why are they here" Dylan asked
I looked behind me Dylan wad standing there awkwardly he hadnt said a word since we got there I thought he was going to stay mute all night.

A police man whizzed around he wasn't just any police man he was the sheriff, "Do you both know Jack Carson"? The sheriff asked his glazed over eyes staring deeply into ours.

Me and Dylan glanced at each other, I gulped um.... yes we both know him he goes to our school why"? I replied my mind was racing why where they asking about Jack did he tell my mum about me but if he did I then why would the police be here it's not a crime to kiss the same sex anymore?

"He was found dead last night on high way 7 witnesses confirm youse were the last people to see him alive" the sheriff said coldly his voice pierced through me.

Everything got cold he was dead jack was dead I may not of liked him very much but he didn't deserve to die.
He's... he's dead..... ?

I could barely get the words out.

My mouth tasted like blood I felt sick, my stomach was doing summersaults.

"Yes, it was reported at around 9pm last night he was dead for around 4-4.5 hours before it was reported we are going to need you both to come down to the station and answer a few questions", the sheriff said Coldly.

"Why"? Dylan asked he was getting defensive.

"Because this isn't just a random car accident or a teenage tragedy, Jack Carson was murdered and since you were both the last people to see him alive your the persons of interest in his murder case"

'Persons of interest' the words shot through me like a bullet it felt surreal this couldn't be happening no one could actually think we could of killed Jack could they? My stomach lurched and I swayed from side to side and then I threw up all over the sheriff and myself.

Just as I did I heard Dylan whisper "what have I done"?

My heart stopped, he couldn't really have anything to do with it, could he?

Sorry it's so short I promise the next one will be much longer! I'm so sorry I haven't posted in so long I had a science biology GCSE so I was busy revising for that and really focusing on school but I'm back and I passed my biology GCSE 41/45 I'm so so happy!😃
