Day 3

"Do you know what it's about?" I asked Rachel.

"Probably an announcement about something" She shrugged it off.

We walked inside the gym and sat on the bleachers. The room slowly started filling up as groups of people came in. I was nervous and all jumpy since....Thomas's death. I still felt terrible though Grayson's trip he took me to his families old farm helped. Once everyone came in the rest of the Administrators came in but one person that caught my eye surprised me.

The Mayor.

My heart was now in my stomach.

"Ahem" She cleared her throat. She looked terrible, she had horrible bags underneath her eyes and didn't have the smile she usually had, it was a frown making her look older than she was. "I'm sure you all may know the death of my son, Thomas Woods".

She spoke very softly, she was weak and tired.

"A weapon was found in the area of his death and there was a bullet shot through his head, my son was shot and thrown over a cliff like a piece of shit" I widened my eyes at her choice of words. "Someone in this town killed my baby", her voice started to crack from her crying. "I'm going to find out who that somebody is..".

Someone murdered Thomas? For what reason? He didn't do anything! I felt my face getting heated from the anger I felt. Thomas never did anything to anyone he doesn't deserve death.

I looked over noticing Le'Anne speaking with her boyfriend Wesley frantically, I couldn't hear their conversation but Le'Anne was nervous and jittery. I looked away before they caught me staring.

The mayor walked off fixing her self. The principal of the school went up to speak, "If you know anything about what happened please speak to one of us or even the police".

With that we were exited out to go home. Thankfully they did it at the end of the day and not in the morning. After hearing he was murdered I was now going to be more cautious about everything, no party's for me.

"How you holding up?" Grayson walked beside me. I was a bit relieved he was with me, he made me feel safe.

"Not to well, why would anyone kill Thomas? He was an innocent kid" I looked down at my feet.

"I don't know, I didn't know the kid to well" He said softly.

We walked out of the school together, "You want a ride with Ethan and I?".

I shook my head no, "I kinda just want to have some alone time right now..".

"Understandable, take care" He hugged me and we split our ways. While walking back to my car I felt his stare, Ethan's. I looked around looking for him and there he was staring right at me from inside his car.

I quickly walked to my car getting in and backed out. Won't lie Ethan was a bit creepy if you asked me but to Rachel he was perfect.

But the main thing I could think about was Thomas, who would have killed Thomas? What would their motive be? I mean, doesn't every murderer have a motive?

"Who would want to kill Thomas?" I muttered to myself.

Nothing like this has happened in this town, until they came. My spine shivered at the thought of Grayson being a murderer, but something tells me it isn't him.

Ethan? Maybe?

He was creepy I won't lie but creepy enough to be a murderer? I don't think so..but the murderer was right by the mansion, then again Ethan was with Rachel and Grayson was with me when this all went down.

As soon as I got home I called Rachel.

"Heeyy" She said through the phone.

"Hey uh do you remember anything from that night when Ethan invited us to his party?" I slid my hand in my back pocket biting my lip.

"Well I remember I went upstairs with him and we uh..made out for a bit and that's all I know, I think I blacked out or something"

That 100% worried me, if she did knock out that would have given Ethan time to-

"Why do you ask?" She interrupted my train of thought.

"Oh no reason just wondering you know" I said.

"Alright I'll talk to you later, I gotta study for this test coming up" She sighed.

"Yeah same"

With that I hung up the phone and slumped down on my couch. My head was throbbing, probably because of my crazy assumptions about Ethan. I walked over to my dads wine cellar slowly. I mean it would help right?

I grabbed a bottle and poured myself a glass. He wouldn't notice.

I walked upstairs with my glass and set it down on my desk as I wrote down my thoughts. Not in a diary or journal, I'm not that cliché but just on a random piece of paper I had laying around.

I had the house to myself I had no one to hide it from. I took a big sip as I continued writing down my thoughts. One more sip and I was already done with my glass.

I drank way more glasses then expected, I guess I got a bit carried away, whoops. I was interrupted from my thoughts by knocking on the door. Who would that be?

I stumbled down the stairs reaching the door to my house.

"Heeyyy" I slurred.

"Your drunk.." Chance opened the door and walked in.

"It was just a couple of glasses"

"More like a whole bottle, are you crazy? Surprised your still awake, your a light weight, thought you would be out after 2 glasses, your just reeaalllyyy drunk" He said helping me walk.

"I came here to tell you something about Thomas" He said.

I immediately payed attention and sat down on the couch.

"Le'Anne has been acting extremely weird lately and Wesley and her have been having problems" He said.

"I thought they were the perfect couple who never argued"

"Exactly, they've never argued until Thomas's death, they're clearly arguing about something serious if they haven't talked to anyone else about it" He leaned over closer to me. "Do you get what I'm implying?".

"They're gonna break up" I frowned upset that my favorite couple was gonna split.

"No what?" He furrowed his eyebrows. "It might be something about Thomas, maybe they know something we don't, are you in to try and figure out what they might be hiding?".

"Sure" I nodded.

But how were we supposed to do that?
