When he helped me up after our picnic, he walked me home,
I kissed him good bye, then went to bed.

"Hey Emily! Are you up!?"
My mom yelled out side my door when heard here I said I was, but honestly I wasn't. Rubbing my eyes I said
"Why? It's Saturday!"
"Well umm, can I just come in and tell you?"
I looked around to see if there was anything to hide and then said sure she walked in, closed the door then came over to my head and sighed
"Honey, the police came by the other day to ask me questions about 'the reappearanss of Destiny Vanderwall.'
And I don't know what I said but apparently I said something because...there accusing me of her death."
"What?!!!!!" I yelled angirly
"Honey keep it down!" My mom said
The I stood up and looked at her
"How I am supposed to calm down! I mean come on! You and Dad are now divorced, I don't know if my best friend is alive, and now your getting arrested for her murder!! I can't take it anymore!! It's to much!!"
She looked down,  just as upset as I was then looked at me with tears rolling down her face and spoke her mind
"Honey, you know I don't want this for you, I don't want it for me either but...what am I, supposed to do? There arresting me, I can't just go up to them and say Hey you can arrest me this isn't fair! That's just not how it works"
I came and sat next to her, putting my arm around her back, as she started to cry, and with all the pressure I was feeling that moment, I cryed with her, knowing that might be the last time to cry with her....
 
"Hey Emily" Miles said as I walked down the stairs, and put his arm around me
" Hey cutie" I said trying not to break down
"Are you doing ok?" He then asked me, and turning my head in the other direction siad softly
"Uh huh"
Once those words came out of my mouth, he let go and stopped walking
"No your not" he confidently said
I looked down,fidgeted with my fingers and looked up at him and with my soft shaky voice said
"Your right I'm not ok, and you want to know why? Because my mother is being accused of my....my best, friends, murder!" Once I finished I walked away but not to school, to a place no one knows about...not even Miles.
