"...Cullen..?" My voice croaked. I knew he was sort of a dick a few days ago, but not this much of one.

He saved me from getting raped by the dick that I thought killed my best friend, but I guess I was all wrong about him. I've had him all wrong, he fooled us all..

"Bree, it's not what you think." He tried his best to put his hands up, but he was handcuffed to the table.

He was in an oversized orange body suit, that looked rather bad on him.

"What am I suppose to think?" I gritted my teeth together, I sat in the chair directly in front of him, waiting for some type of response.

"I've been framed, I swear to god I wouldn't lay a hand on a girl!" He said raising his voice, his lips were quivering. I could tell he was trying not to cry.

Is he being honest?

"It was Ren!" He said slamming his handcuffed hands onto the table, I jumped at first.

"Who the fuck is Ren?"

"The bitch that almost raped you! You know, until I saved you? It all makes perfect sense!" He sarcastically laughed, "He was pissed off at me for beating the shit out of him!"

"Cullen, the investigator said they found blood on the outside of your door.."

"Exactly, I was framed. That dick put that there.." He laid his head on the table.

I feel slightly sorry for him, only because I'm starting to believe that he wasn't the one that murdered her.

"Well, where can you find Ren?" I asked nervously. It's not my fault I'm nervous to talk to him, how am I suppose to know that he really didn't murder her? I mean, I believe that he didn't, but how am I suppose to know?

"Don't go anywhere near him Bree." He glared at me.

"Just tell the police that Ren Vennice is the one who killed Courtney.." He said, "I'm not going to spend the rest of my life in here for nothing.."

Those were the last words that were spoken before I left the room.

"Ms. Taylor, is that the boy?" He asked walking me to the doors.

"No. It wasn't. The boy you should be looking for is Ren Vennice. He is the one that tried raping me, and he is also the one that killed Courtney. Cullen is not the one who killed her, he was framed. I suggest you take him out of there." I said not making eye contact with the investigator.

"And how are you so sure he isn't the one who killed Courtney Allen?"

"Because," I stopped in my tracks, "Cullen is the one who saved me from getting raped." I sighed before walking out the doors.

This is all just a big bucket of stress, that I'm getting to the point where I can't take it.

My mom picked me up, and I texted Noah.

Me: hey, can I come over?

He replied a few minutes later.

Noah: uhm... Travis is over..

Right when I read the message I automatically knew why I couldn't come over.

I didn't reply, I just told mom I wasn't going over there. I think my heart broke a little bit more than it already has.

But it'll be okay, no body will know how I actually feel inside because I'm really good at hiding my feelings.
