part 20

When my mom pulled up to the scene, she looked around, her eyes as big as tea plates before she locked eyes with me. She immediately ran over and hugged me tightly, then stepped back, looking me over.
"Are you ok?! Are you hurt?! What happened?!" She looked around. "Where's Mia?"
          The image I had tried so hard to keep composed broke at the sound of her name. I fell into a heap on the ground, sobbing hard enough my chest hurt. I don't remember much after that, only the walk back to her car and drive home, where she laid me in bed and turned the lights off.
"Try to sleep. We'll deal with it in the morning after you've had some rest."
I didn't sleep.
I cried all night.

The next morning I stayed in bed, and my mom walked in and placed breakfast on my nightstand, assuring me I didn't have to go to school if I didn't want to. I nodded, dazed, in response. She sighed and left.
I bit my lip as it quivered and curled up in my comforter, trying to keep the tears from escaping, to no avail.
For three days, I cried.
For three days, food went untouched.
For three days, I never left my bed.
On the fourth day, I decided I'd had enough. I got up, my legs wobbly from disuse. Nevertheless, I walked into the kitchen, where my mom sat at the counter eating a bowl of cereal. She looked up when I entered, and she looked as bad as I felt. She had deep purple circles under her eyes, her hair was a mess, and she wore a pale blue robe. I looked at the clock. Noon. She's always dressed by noon. I forgot how stressful this must have been for her as it was for me. She gave me a small smile and looked back down at her bowl as I opened the fridge.
"Some officers wanted to speak with you."
"I figured." I replied softly, grabbing a tube of biscuits and scanning it before placing it back in the fridge and continuing my search.
"How are you feeling?" She asked, quietly as if I might explode at the question.
"Well, I guess you could say I'm feeling like my best friend just got murdered in front of me."
"I'm sorry, honey."
"Mhm." I responded, taking out a tupoware of chicken Alfredo and taking the cap off and throwing it in the microwave. Pushing 1 and then start, I turned around, resting my elbows on the table and looking past my mom into the living room, where the news channel flooded with news.
    I raised my eyebrow as the anchor woman looked into the camera and spoke.
"Following up on the recent murder case of Mia Murner, Authorities know have another tragic death to investigate, Annalise Belladonna, who is believed to be Murner's murderer, has been found dead outside the police department's gates. Possible suspects are Jeon Jungkook, Kim Namjoon, Jenny Kim, and Noir Blake. We'll keep you updated."
        "You're father is on his way home from his business trip. The boys are at a friend's, and I'm going to go take a shower and head to town. You're welcome to come with me." My mom said, walking past me to put her bowl and spoon in the sink. I sighed and looked down as the microwave beeped.
"That's ok. I'll just stay home." She nodded and kissed my forehead.
"Of course honey."
