Fooled [SHORT STORY -- COMPLETED]

Who should I trust?

                 

I began to list all the things that may happen to her. I knew it wasn't her who did that to herself.

Holding an investigation by myself. I began to interviewed one by one,every single one of it Even maddox, the bully and my own parents..

"I'm sorry mom and dad but, maybe you're the one and I need to know who" I said.

There's nothing left to do. I have no choice but to suspect them.

" What were you guys  doing at friday night. When I was still asleep?"

" You don't trust us?" as mom started to sob. Drops of tears started pouring.

"Mom I do trust you, but I just need to solve some stuff."

"Let me repeat again, What were you guys doing at Friday night?"

" We.. were watching some of the old tapes. Your tapes when you were still a baby." A smile and tears started to appear from her face.

I can't do this anymore, not trusting my parents. I decided to not questioned them. Their miserable faces everytime I questioned them made my heart broken to piecies. But, I thought only humans have emotions. They're not human right?

The only suspect left was Maddox. But it can't be, why would he murder Aquinna?

" Where were you at Thursday night. Did you go somewhere?"

"Oh the day Aquinna was murdered huh. I stayed home cleaning my room."

"So, you didn't went anywhere."

"When do you know Aquinna is murdered."

"Friday morning at school. The school announced it duh."

"But on Friday morning you looked very sleepy. You said you didn't go anywhere that night but why do you look exhausted,"

"I've said it already, I cleaned my room till morning. My mom was yelling at me because of my untidy bedroom. "

When I questioned Maddox, I felt his soul inside is anxious.  I was unsure of him. To make sure it's him, I decided to interviewed his innocent mom too.

" I'm sorry but I need to make sure some problems."

"What did my son do? Is he in trouble again? Oh that rascal!"

"I'm sure he did nothing but I just need to make sure of some stuffs."

"Okay then, go ahead."

"Is Maddox home on Thursday night?"

"No, he's not home. He told me he won't be going home till the morning."

"Do you know where did he went?"

"I'm sorry but I don't know."

"He told me, he was home on Friday night cleaning his room because you yelled at him."

"He would never even clean his room ever. Even if I yelled at him, he wouldn't even bother to listen."

Why would Maddox lied? Is he trying to hide and cover up something? If he went somewhere there's always his squad that will always be with him. I decided to interview his friends too.

"Where were you guys on Friday night?"

"Oh Friday night? Where did we go max?" as one of Maddox's friend asking the other.

"The night of Aquinna's murdered?"

"Correct" I replied being as curious as I would ever be.

" That night, Maddox asked us to go somewhere. But we weren't available that night. So, I think he went alone."

"Where did he went?"

"He went to .."

"Shush Max! Maddox asked ask to keep it as a secret" as the other trying to keep their promise with Maddox."

"Let me repeat again, where did he went on Thursday night?"

"I'm sorry Olivia but we really can't tell because if we did.."

He went close to my ears as  I start feeling his breath on my skin.

"We'll be dead" he whispered in silence.

I froze, quivered with wide eyes as the words started to haunt my mind.

" We have to go, see you later" as Max broke the silence.

They've been getting so suspicious as I thought more about it. But still, I have no evidence.
