Chapter 33: Fauclty

Bel's P.O.V:

Winter breeze passed by my side, my legs shivered in coldness as I dug them in the golden sand, admiring the beauty in front of my eyes, clearing my mind, making me relax completely. The huge waves came crashing down, the water slowly touching my tiptoes making me sigh in relaxation. The sound of crashing waves and seagulls filled my hearing, the smell of fresh air made it feel like a new day. The golden sun was about to disappear, the reflection of the horizon is a view no one could miss. Sitting there and just admiring the beautiful view, does make you feel like a new person, one of a kind.

I have always blamed myself for their death, because in all honesty, it was my fault. It keeps haunting me. The sound of their faint screams, the sight of their flowing tears. It never left, and I thought it really was me. The picture of their bloody bodies, the throaty cries they've held in. Their angelic faces twisting into expressions that held so much pain. How am I supposed to get it out?

My phone buzzed next to me, making me exhale nervously, not really knowing who the caller is, I just picked up.

"Hello?" I asked as I could hear heavy breathing, the breathing continued for

a few seconds before someone spoke.

"B-Bel?" Havi stuttered nervously, her voice filled with sadness and shock.

"Havi, what's going on, love?" I asked worryingly, standing up on my feet as I pulled them out of the golden sand, wearing my flats as I walked towards the house, cautiously.

"P-Put on c-channel 4..." She demanded softly, her voice was a muffled cry before she swallowed the obvious lump in her throat.

Switching on channel 4, I saw that it was the daily news and they were talking about some suicide/murder case that just happened on a Monday morning. This is no good, I thought.

"This is a new case that seemed to occur a few days ago, the victim was an old male citizen and middle aged. He has been called missing 3 days ago, and the police are attempting to close this case. Today morning, the police found a dead body flowing in some lake in London, beside a bakery. Some said it was a suicide since there wasn't any harm or damage done to the body, and some said that the man was murdered and thrown in the lake. The police station informed us that the case is closed till new evidence , seeing that the body is now halfway decomposed. Until further notice, stay tuned" The female reporter had spoken before it was off to commercials. I was confused, why was I supposed to hear this?

"Why have you wanted me to see that?" I asked anxiously, my hands trembling a bit by the sudden bad feeling that washed over me.

"B-Bel, that's B-Ben..." The moment those words came out of her lips, I froze. My heart beats became slower per seconds as a lump started growing my throat, my eyes were filled with tears as I fell on my knees.

"N-no! It c-can't be.." I choked on my own cry, before I heard the door bell rang, I gulped, I didn't want Niall & William to see me so vulnerable once again. I quickly wiped my tears away, telling Havi that I was going to call her back before I opened the door, but no one was there. I looked down, only to find a picnic basket filled with freshly baked cupcakes, cookies and brownies. A small envelope was rested, or pinned to the basket. I gasped, not really knowing what to do. I took the envelope in my hands, slowly opening it only to read:

Hello my dear Bel! Hope you like fresh bakery sweets, I made them specially for you! It's kinda sad, y'know? Walking home from work, then suddenly a team of men tries to suffocate you? I feel sorry for him. Well, at least now he'll be up in heaven with your parents. Oh how sweet revenge is... Hope you had a blast on Christmas!

-From, The Killers.

I looked at the card in disbelief, blinking in surprise before quickly scattering inside, closing the door before I sinked down on my knees, tears desperately wanted to fall but there were none. All my tears have been drained because of this. I'm the most vulnerable I can be. This is it, I'm gonna end this and now.
