. Chapter 1
I dropped the phone and let my mouth hang open wide. "Dead? Who's dead?" I heard Shane say from the kitchen. He didn't understand. He was always slow.
"We don't know!" Lisa called back, grabbing her children and placing them in her lap. Shane walked in.
"Huh? Why are you holding the girls?" Lisa stood up, each of the twins on one of her hips.
"Go. Into the kitchen. Now." She leaned over to him and whispered something. He nodded and they walked into the kitchen. Only Cameron and I saw it.
"Who's dead? Who could it be?!" Kimmy asked worry peaking up from her throat. Chris had a secure arm around her.
"It's fine. We'll figure it out." He whispered to her.
"But how did he know our number?!" Kimmy shrieked, fidgeting wildly. I stood up from Cameron's lap, he looked at me, worry on his face. I walked to the door, locked all three locks and went to the window. Oh turned to everyone.
"A little help. It is a three story house with an attic and a basement and a garage!" Everyone stood up and started copying what I had started. Cameron took the window next to me.
"Kitchen?" He whispered, locking both locks on the window. I nod. He wipes his hands on his jeans. He's so cute. ' Focus brain! Someone just called your house, said she's dead, not specifying who she is, and they obviously know your number so they probably know your address. Obsess over your boyfriend later!' We walked to the kitchen, listening next to the openway.
"He killed her... dead... my mother..." Is all I could here from Lisa's mouth before we had to get back to work.
"Are they saying my mom's dead?" I whispered, starting to walk down to the basement.
"I don't know babe." He said, walking closely to me. I laced my hand into his.
He squeezed it.
"And I wouldn't care if it were her." And I let go, running down the stairs.
"Jade! Jade come here!" When he got down the stairs he found me crying in a corner, rubbing my wrists where I once put a blade and sliced. He grabbed that hand and kissed my scars. The only person I've shown. He always did that when he saw me rub it. I turned and looked up at him, kissing his lips. Soft lips, red and plush... 'STOP JADE!' I started to lock the Windows again. He went to the glass sliding door, and screamed.
