Never Sleep Again. Another Nightmare On Elm Street.

"Why Am I A Suspect?"

                           Mason's POV
„WHAT?" I couldn't believe what these two officers were saying to me. It was 10 am and I was in the middle of a police interrogation with Officer Nelson and Officer Gray. „You heard right. You were the last person that saw Miranda alive. Isn't that weird?" Officer Nelson gave me a stern look. I rolled my eyes. „Are you really trying to say that I killed Miranda? Why should I?" Officer Nelson got up from his chair and walked around the room. „Maybe she had a crush on you and she told you this at the party, and you didn't had the same feelings as her which made her furious. You both got in a fight and then you killed her." Both officers were starring at me, waiting for me to say something. „NO!" I screamed out of anger. „Miranda and me were cool. Nothing more." Officer Nelson wrote something down. „So, than tell us, what were you doing outside alone by yourself?" Officer Gray gave me a stern look.
I sighed annoyed. „I was outside with Samantha and we had an argument, then Miranda came outside and Samantha and me got back in the house." Officer Parker sat back on his chair and pulled out a piece of paper and read over it. „You know? The weird thing is that Mrs. Cook says that she was waiting for you inside." He looked at me. „Which means that if this would be true, you were outside alone with Miranda." Both officers looked at each other and then they turned back to me. „Why are you so sure that I'm the one that killed Miranda? Didn't someone tell you that she had a stalker?" I gave them a questioning look. „What do you now about the stalker?" I thought for a while. „Miranda told us that he was in her room, and when she woke up he was gone. He scratched her arm this is why she was hurt." Officer Nelson sighed. „The wound on her arm wasn't a normal scratch. This was looking more like someone cut her arm open with a razor or something like that."  I rolled my eyes. „Let me guess, you think it was me?"
Officer Gray gave me an angry look. „You better stop with the attitude." He looked at Officer Nelson then back at me. „We'll be Back in a few minutes." They both got out of the room and closed the door behind them. I took a deep breath. Why am I a suspect? Why did Samantha lie? Was is because of that stupid argument? She will not get away with this!
The door opened after five minutes. Officer Gray came alone back into the room. „You can leave for now, but we keep an eye out on you!" I nodded and left the room, making my way to my car, when I bumped into someone. Ella looked at me surprised. „Mason? Uh, what are you doing here?" Should I tell her the truth? What if she'll think too that I'm the one that killed Miranda?
I scratched nervously the back of my neck. „They just had a few questions about yesterday." It wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the truth either. „What are you doing here?"
She gave me a light smile and held up a lunchbox. „Bringing my dad something to eat." I nodded. „I have to go, uhm, we see us tomorrow?" He gave me a questioning look.
„Sure!" I gave her a short kiss on the cheek and made my way towards the car. I really have to talk with Samantha first, cause I want to know why she lied.
