CHAPTER SEVEN

6:30 am.
‘She was dead.’ I whispered, letting the tears roll freely down my cheeks.
Detective Marshall remained calm before speaking. ‘We found Ms. Thompson’s body in the woods.. along with Jason Reeds, and ex-convict.’ He says staring at me.
I nod, letting more tears out. ‘It was me.’ I sob. ‘I killed him.’
I feel Detective Marshall’s hand in my shoulder. ‘It was self-defense, there was nothing else you could’ve do—‘
‘I still killed him.’ I interrupt him in a broken voice. ‘I took his life from him.’
A few seconds pass before I hear a softer voice speak.
‘I heard the gunshot.’ She says with a fearful voice. ‘I thought—we thought..’ She trails off.
Detective Marshall nods understandingly. ‘She’s ok.’ He assures her.
I turn my head and stare into the green eyes of Emilie. ‘I’m just glad you’re ok.’ She cries as she stares at me.
I let more tears down, giving her a small smile. ‘Me too.’

Laila’s POV
I keep running dragging a sobbing Emilie behind me.
‘We have to keep moving Emi.’ I tell her trying to get her to move faster. ‘She will be ok.’ I mutter not knowing if I’m trying to reassure her, or me.
It all happened so fast.
One minute we were hiding behind a rock, the next I know, Spencer is running in a different direction telling us to run as she’s being tailed by one of them.
I lift my hand and wipe the few tears that escape my eyes.
She will be ok.
She has to be.
