The Beach House

{1.4}

Tuesday, four days since the murder

<Carolina>
I woke up and looked up to see Agus' face. He was still sleeping. I came out of the best and dressed myself. I opened the closet to see the jacket.

I needed to get rid of that jacket as quick as possible. I took the jacket, with a glove on, stepped inside my car and drove with it to the beach. There I threw the jacket into the sea. Far enough. I threw the glove in the sea as well. I didn't want to become main suspect.

<Agustín>
I opened my eyes and saw some peacefull sunshine through the window. I didn't feel Carolina's head on my chest. I looked beside me, but she was gone. Strange?

I stood up, put one some clothes and went downstairs. No one else was awake. I heard the door.

'Hello? Who's there?' I asked.

'Agus, it's just me.' I heard Carolina's voice. She came towards me and kissed me.

'Where were you?' I asked worried. She was thinking about her answer.

'The beach. I needed to calm myself down after everything that happened.' She replied.

'Why didn't you wake me up, so we could go together?' I asked.

'My love, you were sleeping so cute, I just couldn't.'

'No, Agustín. You're wrong.'

I heard Karol's whisper again. This time Carolina was with me. Maybe she heard it too.

'Did you hear that?' I asked her.

'I heard nothing.' She said.

'It's so cold.'

Karol added. Why would she choose me? Why would she, out of us all, choose me to approach. We weren't even that close.

***

It was lunch time. Everyone sat around the table and we ate pancakes, because Karol used to love them.

I went upstairs for a minute to get my phone. I looked at the closet, the closet that almost ruined my relationship. I wanted to open it one more time. Just to see the jacket.

I opened the doors and noticed that the jacket was gone. But who took it? It must've been Carolina, because she was the only one who knew about it.

I went back downstairs and acted like nothing happened. When we all finished our lunch, I went to Carolina.

'The jacket is gone?' I whispered.

'I know. I did it. I don't want to become the main suspect. I did it for us, Agus.' She answered very quiet.

I didn't know what to think. After last night, I thought my doubts were gone, but what if she just slept with me to make sure I wouldn't find out what she did? And if she really did it, then why? Carolina and Karol were such a good friends, it's almost impossible she did it.

I looked at her, with eyes full of love. I still remember the first time I met her. All thanks to Karol. 'This is Carolina, Carolina Kopelioff.' She said to me. Carolina came closer to give me a kiss on my cheeck. It was love at first sight. She had long brown hair, hazelnut eyes, a soft voice and a beautiful face.

I can't get over the fact she threw away the jacket. But she would never kill somebody. I'm sure about that...

I went back to the beach, on my own. There were some people sunbathing, but ofcourse the most people stayed at home. They were scared, because everyone already heard someone killed Karol. The few people that were at the beach looket at me like I was the killer, until a woman came to me.

'Agustín, I know you're just here on vacation, but I know all of you a bit now. I can't believe one of you killed that girl. You have my support.' She said. I said thank you and then kept on walking.

'You're wrong, Agus, go back.' It was Karol's whisper again.

'Leave me alone, why me? Just let me be!' I shouted over the sea. People around me stared at me, like I was crazy, but I'm not.

I ran back to the beach house. Carolina was there. I had no idea what to think.
I went inside the house and into my room. Carolina was still downstairs. A little paper came from under the mattress, from Carolina's side.

I pulled at it and it was a picture. A picture of Karol, but why is Carolina hiding it? The jacket, the picture, it scared the hell out of me.

[So this was the fourth chapter. I hope you liked it. Do you guys already know who killed Karol? Then leave it in the comments, because I'm curious.]
