One Reason

~Chapter Nineteen~

"Who would of thought Tori would do this thing?" Lance spoke as he walked into the living with a cup water, handing it to Melody.

Dustin and I sat on the couch in Lance's living room as Melody sat across on the loveseat. Lance sitting down next to her.

"What makes me mad is how Dustin didn't tell anyone. I feel horrible about me trying to break you two apart when I didn't know the whole story." Melody spoke up her voice cracks. Her eyes on us.

"Mel, it's okay. I should of told you guys and the police but I was scared with everything that was happening. I couldn't say anything without consequences."

I lay my hand on his back, rubbing him to comfort him.

"It's not okay. I feel awful about it and I shouldn't have said anything..." Melody's eyes began to water as she spoke.

"Is she the killer?" I said as the room goes quiet. I did not want to believe someone so close was the killer.

"We've known her for so long and i've never seen her act like the way she did today." Lance speaks up.

"I need answers." I say softly.

"Don't we all?" Dustin says softly back.

"No, I mean it." I stand up, walking over to the door sliding on my shoes.

"Where are you going?" Dustin stands up walking over to me.

"Getting answers from the source herself, Tori." I open the door, the evening began to get dark outside.

"No, no. Why? She said she was going to kill you." Dustin says following me out to my car.

I unlock my car, getting in. I start my car and glance up at him.

"I need answers. I need to know."

-

I pull the keys from the car as the car turns off. The radio turned off as everything goes quiet.

I am doing this. The station in my view, my heart racing. I need answers, I deserve answers.

I open the door stepping out onto the pavement. The heat off the late summer sun beat down on me as I slam the door shut.

I begin my way way to the front downs of the station as everything things sinks in. Three people I know are dead. My best friend is basically crazy and a rapist.

I open the door to the station. The cool breeze slapping me in the face. The police officer from behind the counter stared me down as I slowly walked up to him.

"I-I am here to talk to Tori... She just came in..."

"Ma'am, I am sorry. She won't be seeing anyone for now." The officer said going back to his computer.

"Please, you don't understand. She raped my boyfriend. She was my best friend. I just need some answers." I say trying to persuade the officer.

"I'm sorry about your boyfriend but I can't help you." The officer spoke up, glancing up at me.

"Five minutes... please." I beg.

"Okay, fine. Listen. I will let you. Five minutes that's it. Do you understand? and I will be there watching." He said standing up, walking from behind the counter.

"Yes, okay. Thank you." I follow behind him as he leads me down a hallway.

The hallway was colder, it's white brick walls gave an unfriendly vibe.
