Adrienne

Chapter 10: Murderer or the victim?

When they came home Adrienne was weak and was tired. Isabella and Aaron saw her.

"Adrienne? What's wrong?" Asked Isabella.

"Nothing, i'm just tired!" Said Adrienne.

"Adrienne! I know you better than anyone! I know when something is wrong!" Said Isabella as she chuckled lightly.

"First, boys I need to talk to Isabella but Brandon don't go home, please. I need you to be here."

"Of course!" Said Brandon.

Adrienne and Isabella walked to Adrienne's room and sat on the couch.

"Okay Adrienne, now tell me what's wrong!" Said Isabella.

"Nothing much, really but I told him some things but I didn't tell him the whole truth!" Said Adrienne as a tear started to go down her cheek.

"Ah... Adrienne! You need to tell him if you have told him this much!" Said Isabella as she wiped away her tears.

"There's also something that I haven't told you..."

"What?"

When grams died I met this guy who is 7 years older than us... And I drank alcohol, I smoked, I broke into houses, I shoplifted and I had a knife! I was ready to do anything to take this pain away! It isn't just about grams, it's about everything! I needed an escape." Adrienne said as her voice was breaking.

"Adrienne... What's his name?!"

"Carl?"

"Carl? Carl Brown?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't you remember Adrienne?"

"What?

"It's not the first time you met him!"

"What, when did we meet him?"

"He... He worked at that place where we used to go with Tristan, Katie and Lucas! I don't remember the name of that place, he was always so mysterious...."

"Well then there's a good time to tell you this!"

"What?"

"That he is a fucking murderer or at least charged with one!"

"What do you mean by at least?"

"I went to visit him and he swore to me that he didn't kill these people!"

"Do you know what people he's suspected to have murdered?"

"Yeah... Gra-... Grams..." Muttered Adrienne.

"Do you believe him?"

"I don't know.... But Who in the hell could kill an old person?"

"Soulless people?" Said Isabella and chuckled.

"But these people are human! People are so sick!"

"Yup! Though he never looked like he was capable of murder!"

"He swore he didn't kill anyone. but also he is twenty four and was with a seventeen year old, he shoplifted, broke into houses and stuff but? But he could just be as lost as I was, I know it's disgusting that he was with a girl that's underage but it could be possible."

"You need to tell the guys!" Said Isabella.

"Yep!" Said Adrienne and sighed as she walked out of her room.

The boys sat at the table talking.

"Brandon and Aaron, we need to talk!" Said Adrienne.

"What is it?" Asked Brandon.

"What if Carl didn't kill anyone?" Said Adrienne.

"What? Adrienne, that's crazy!" Said Aaron.

"Why? I know it's disgusting that he was with a girl that's much younger than he is but what if he was just lost Like me?" Asked Adrienne.

"Sorry sis but that sounds beyond crazy!" Said Aaron.

"Aaron, why? He swore to me! I don't know if I believe him but it's just a theory!" Said Adrienne.

"Adrienne, just before you go to the police or something just think about it and be careful!" Said Aaron.

"I will! Now, i'm going to get something to eat!" Said Adrienne and walked to the kitchen.

"And i'm going to go to the toilet." Said Brandon.

Adrienne got chips and walked into the kitchen and to the fridge and opened the fridge, got sodas. She closed the fridge there was someone there, she couldn't see who it was. Because that person was in black clothes and got a whole black mask. The door into the kitchen closed and another person appeared. 

The person punched her and knocked her out. The person took her hand and took up a knife in the person's pocket and cut into her skin: Help him or he dies!

There was a loud noise. Aaron and Isabella ran into the kitchen.

"SHIT! Isabella I need you to check if Adrienne is alright i'll be right back!" Said Aaron in a rush and ran outside.

"Wait?! AARON!" Yelled Isabella.

Aaron was already gone outside so she checked if everything was alright. Brandon came running inside the kitchen.

"WHAT HAPPENED?" Yelled Brandon.

"THERE YOU FUCKING ARE! WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?" Screamed Isabella.

"On the toilet?" Said Brandon confused.

"Well someone was here! See Adrienne's arm! She was stabbed in the arm!"

"DID YOU SEE THE GUY?!" Yelled Brandon.

"No... We wait till Adrienne wakes up, she's just knocked out!"

Brandon took Adrienne up and set her on the couch.

"I'm going to get Aaron! Stay with her!"

"Fine! Just please hurry!"

"I'll try!" Said Brandon and ran outside.

"Adrienne, wake up! Please wake up!" Said Isabella.

Brandon and Aaron came running in.

"Is she alright?" Asked Aaron fast.

"She's unconscious!" Replied Isabella in a rush.

"Is her pulse okay?" Asked Aaron.

"Why shouldn't it?" Asked Isabella.

"Just answer me! Please!" Said Aaron.

Isabella checked her pulse.

"Yeah, her pulse is fine! Why do you ask?" Asked Isabella.

"Because that could be a side effect of epilepsy, I think..." Said Aaron.

"Oh..." Said Isabella.

"Adrienne? Wake up! Please!" Said Brandon.
