Chapter 8
Callie was in the bathroom.
Everything that happened stressed her a lot, and, just like everyone else, she had trouble sleeping.
She looked in the mirror. She needed some sleep. She had a headache.
She opened the medicine cabinet and grabbed some Tylenol. Then she closed it.
She jumped. But nobody was behind her. She let out a deep sigh, trying to calm herself down.
Damn. What's up with everybody tonight?
She popped them and sipped some water.
She went to her bedroom...
...WHERE SHE FOUND A FIGURE STANDING IN THE DARK!
Callie GASPED.
From the shadow emerged Brandon. Callie sighed in relief.
"Brandon... you scared me."
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to say good night."
Brandon headed to the door, but Callie stopped him:

Brandon gulped.
"No..."

Brandon closed the door and turned to Callie.
"I just wanted to know if you think that I am a..."

As if Callie didn't know.
"A killer." he responded.
Callie scoffed. Went closer to him.
"Brandon, of course not! I trust you. I believe you."
Brandon smiled.
"If you are talking about what happened between you and Jude at the police station, just leave it, okay?" said Callie. "Jude isn't even a fully teenager yet. He is scared, just like us. Don't take it personally. What he said to you was something that he didn't even mean to say."
Brandon nodded, agreeing with her.
"However..."
"What?" asked Brandon.
"I'm just wondering... why do you spend so much time at your dad's house lately?"
Brandon rolled his eyes and answered a little irritated:
"Because that's the place where I can feel safe. One of our siblings died in this house. What would you do in my place?!"
