MAYA POV

When Lucas came back downstairs, he had a pissed off face which stayed with him throughout the night. I honestly had no idea what his problem was now but most of the time I don’t.

After about 20 minutes of suffering through this, I had had enough he was getting a little too pissy and it scared me a little.

I made up some random but valid excuse to leave and it seemed to work. I knew Lucas was pissed because he didn’t even kiss me goodbye. Cheesy I know!

I am currently on my way back home. I wonder how Riley is. I was only gone for like an hour so I don’t think anything major could have happened. And it’s getting quite dark so I don’t think Riley would want to go outside. That girl is afraid of everything!

When I am finally able to see my house in the distance, I pat my pockets in order to try to find my keys and I quicken my pace. To be honest, I was quite scared there was like a murderer hiding somewhere.

I reach my front door and notice something really weird.

The Keyhole in the door looked tampered with. It was almost like someone had forced it open. Was that always there? My heart starts beating a little frantically as I unlock the door.

“Riley?!” I call worriedly. I get no reply. Shit.

I dump all of my belongings onto the floor and race frantically around downstairs. I check the kitchen and the living room but there is no sign of her anywhere. My breathing quickens as I run up the stairs calling her name like crazy.

Shit. Shit. Shit. I go to the first place I think of and burst into my room and freeze.

My breathing hitches in my throat as I stand in utter shock at the scene in front of me.

No.

I run over to her lifeless body on the floor and grasp hold of her hand. It’s freezing.

No. No. No. No. NO.

This is not happening.

I choke on a strangled sob as I drop her limp hand and place it on her still body.

I notice a pool of blood at the base of her skull. It looked like she took a pretty nasty blow to the head probably from a big wooden stick or something. Did someone kill her or did she do this to herself?

Don’t be stupid Maya! Of course someone did this to her! It explains the broken lock!

Holy shit…..

She got murdered.

“Please don’t leave me Riley! You were like a sister to me! Yes you did piss me off a little but I cared for you!” I sobbed to the lifeless body. My tears continued to spill and would never stop.

Why would someone do this to her? Hadn’t the poor girl been through enough?

It was only then I noticed a small half opened box lying next to her through my blurry vision. I frown as I reach over with one hand and grasp hold of it while using my other to wipe away my continuous tears. Why did everything bad have to happen to me?!

I angrily remove the lid of the box and it is then I actually notice what it is.

What was Riley doing with this?! Holy mother of god….

Resting at the very top was a small folded up piece of paper. I frown and yank it out and unfold it.

She knew too much.

Is all it read. I turn it over but there’s nothing else. What?! Is someone trying to help me?

I fold the paper back up and push it to the side. Well that confirmed my suspicions of her being murdered.
