Chapter 3:

I woke up, I was still at my old house in Kayla's room. It began to come back to me what had happened yesterday. Tommy had ran off after finding out about the baby and I had stayed to try and find out more from Kayla's diary. I didn't get very far though and just fell asleep. I stood up from the bed and brushed myself down, picked up the diary, shoved it in my bag and left the bedroom. I took my time leaving the house. Before I had just ran up to Kayla's room, so I walked round each individual room. Memories flooded back to me. I could see them all being played before me, like seeing the ghosts of a younger me and Kayla.

We used to play in the lounge with all of Kayla's dollies, dressing them up and giving them pretty hairstyles. We never really used to fight, only over dollies really! But, only a maximum of an hour went by and we had made up again. These memories brought tears to my eyes. I saw all the ghosts fade away, swirling into thin air. I missed every little thing about her. This made me even more determined to find out the truth. I wiped my eyes and walked out of the house with my head held high. I walked back over to Jane's. I had barely walked through the door when Jane ran over and hugged me close.

'Oh my God Holly, where the hell have you been!! I was worried sick! I was this close to calling the police!' She was talking so fast, it was like she wasn't even taking a breath. But, she looked straight into my eyes and stopped. She held me close and I couldnt keep the tears back anymore. We sat down in the lounge and I spilled everything out to her. I could see her heart sink with dissapointment when I mentioned the baby.

'I really thought that she would be more sensible then that, Tommy as well!' I nodded in agreement. Kayla had always been pretty sensible and I really couldnt believe she would of let that happen.

'Im going to go up to my bedroom if that's ok?' I asked, Jane merely nodded and then replied.

'I need to go to work. Im late already but I didn't want to leave until I knew you were ok.' I smiled at her and left the room, picking up my bag as I went. I needed to try and find out more info from the diary, crucial clues and stuff like that. Once upstairs I shut the door and looked out my window, my eyes looked straight at the river.

It was so gorgeous with the sunlight shining on it, shades of blue and green flowing in and out of one another. I honestly couldn't picture Kayla standing there, by the riverbank's edge, and jumping. The river isnt really that deep, be pretty hard to drown in it...

My thoughts were interupted by Jane at my door. 'You have a visitor Holly' She whispered to me. A tiny part of me wanted to believe that Kayla would walk through the door and that this last year of my life had been a dream. But, Kayla didn't walk through the door, she was never going to. Instead Tommy walked through the door, I jumped up off the bed and went over to hug him. We then both sat down on my bed in silence. Tommy was the one to break the silence.

'It couldn't of been my baby.' He said, plainly with no emotion.

'What, you think Kayla cheated on you?' I asked in horror. I knew Kayla would neer do that she had loved Tommy to bits.

'I really dont know. But what I do know is, if it had been my baby Kayla would of told me. We would of made a decision together. I would of been there and I know Kayla. There is no way she wouldnt of told me unless it wasn't mine.' He did have some valid points, but I just couldn't believe that this was all happening. If she didn't want to tell Tommy, then surely she could of me. Couldn't she? I had only read one page of her diary and I was already questioning how much I REALLY knew about Kayla. Tommy could tell something was up. He hugged me and whispered in my ear,

'Im still up for finding the truth if you are,' I smiled at him.

'Really? Even after the baby thing.' I said.

'Its in the past and I just want to forget about it, but I still loved Kayla and I still really do want to know the truth.' He said smiling back at me.

'Well you can help me read through this diary if you want, we may find something really importent.' Tommy nodded, so thats what we did. But we found so many pages had been torn out. THese could of been the pages with crucial information on them.

'Do you think someone had sabotaged the diary. In case other people where trying to find out the same thngs we are?' Tommy asked as we finished the last page.

'It seems possible, but if somebody was going to go through all that trouble surely they would of torn out the page written the day she died. I mean, thats got some crucial info on it.' I replied, thinking about who would want to sabotage the diary. Could the person who did that be the person responsible for Kayla's death.

'We should probably search her room again. Look closer this time though.' He said, I nodded in agreement and heading for the door. I motioned for Tommy to follow. We got outside but Tommy pulled me to one side.

'We made a deal yesterday remember? If I went in the house, you go to Kayla's grave.' I suddenly remembered that. I turned to the direction of the church.

'Do I have to?' I asked, my voice already shaking.

'Yes, but dont worry because Im going to come with you.' He took hold of my hand and we started walking down to the church. The church bells started ringing as we entered the graveyard. I walked over to where Kayla's grave was. I didn't know if it was because Tommy was beside me or what, but I wasn't as scared this time. I let go of Tommy's hand and went and sat by Kayla's grave. I looked at the picture of her on the Tombstone, it had been taken they day before she died. I had taken it. We were down by the farmer's field having a picnic. The flowers in front were beautiful but beginning to wilt. I whispered

'Im sorry that it took me so long to come here, I hope you can forgive me. I miss you so much and I want to know the truth,' I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. I wiped them and then felt Tommy wrap his arms around my neck. He pulled me into him and held me as I cried. He rocked me back and forth slowly, not stopping. I stopped crying and turned to him, I could see he was pretty upset to. I felt really tired and feel alseep in his arms.

I dont know how long I was asleep for but the sun was setting when I woke up. I turned and saw Tommy beside me, he was sleeping to, his arms still wrapped aroud me. I didn't want to wake him so I just layed there until he woke up. I tried to think of all the people who would want to hurt Kayla. But, it was hard, everybody like Kayla. I then felt Tommy stir and wake up. He turned and looked at me, I smiled at him.

'What's the time?' He asked sitting up. He checked his phone. 'God, we better get going. School tomorrow.' He said. I had completely forgotton. I stared at the tombstone, not really wanting to leave but I got up and left. I barely took my eyes off the grave until it was no longer in my sight. We walked back to Jane's.

'Ill see you at school tomorrow Yeah?' Tommy said, 'we can walk together if you want' He continued.

'Yeah sounds good' I said, smiling. He waved and started walking over to his house. I walked in and went upstairs. I prepared myself for questions and 'sorrys'. But, I was still no closer to finding out the truth...
