Beth's POV:
I ran to the car park and got into my voxal. With my hand shaking i unlocked the car and started it up I was crying and trembling with fear of the worst. I knew I had to get to caspar and Alfie as quickly as possible, I arrived soon later. I didn't knock I burst in and saw caspar sitting on the sofa, Alfies flat was full if paramedics and police officers. Caspar looked as if he had been crying, well I don't blame him of corse . I sat beside him and we didn't speak to each other for about ten minutes until one of the paramedics came over to talk to us.
Paramedic: "Hello , Caspar did you ever have any suspicions about Alfie's mental health?"
Caspar: " No he has always been really open and a happy chap but then again I dont live with him 24 7 ."
Me: " Yeah I had only met Alfie a few times but I didn't think he had any mental health problems but people who do and want to keep it hidden are very good at hiding it. This would be a good question for Zoe *a solitary tear rolled down my face   She loved him so much ."
Paramedic: "Who is Zoe ? An ex girlfriend, Sister?"
Caspar: "No his late girlfriend."
Paramedic: "And how long ago did she die and how might that have happened?"
Me: She died about a day ago. She was murderd but we don't know anything about it yet the police are investigating." I was trying to speak as clearly as possible however my voice was trembling and my heart was beating out of my chest.
Paramedic: " Ok well, I am sorry for your loss, one last question are either of u relatives of Alfie Deyes, or would u be able to contact his relatives?
Caspar: " No we are not but I have his sisters phone number ."
Paramedic: " Ok thank you two."
Caspar's POV:
Omg this can't be happening I know that if a person is declared dead then only a family member can be told first , what if that means they think the worst will happen? I tried to get that thought out of my head I breathed slowly and closed my eyes gently.However I was intrupted by Beth rubbing my shoulder , in support but it was quite distracting. But I didn't say anything.
Beth's POV:
Beth: "Caspar? I know this might sound rude but , who is going to drive me to the police station tomorrow?"
Caspar: " why don't you DRIVE YOURSELF YOU DROVE HEAR DID YOU NOT?" Caspar shouted irritably he was clearing fearful for Alfie's fait and angry at me for asking that question with I soon realised was a bit too soon to be asking.
All we had to do now was wait.
