The Town

Chapter 12 part 2

Dre's POV

We walk into the house and to my surprise the door was unlocked .

" How did you find the house Abel ?"

" cash." He says .

Cash is always doing something . I wonder if he's Like a hit man or something .. We walk into the house and a sense of variety of emotions fell upon me . I didn't know whether I was scared , upset , or what . I grabbed somebody's hand , not knowing who was behind me , I dragged them down the hall to my room . It was still the same .. My posters of Madonna and Michael Jackson were still up .. My bed was the same way I left it 4 years ago .. A mess .

I looked to my left to see the picture album I was looking for .. I grabbed that and started to walk to the closet when I tripped on a floorboard that was popped up ... It look as if someone opened it on purpose . I looked up to see Abel standing at the foot of the door .

" hold this ." I hand him the picture album and I look for something that I can open the floor with . I look to see that there was a rope around the one board .. Confusion felt over me as sat in the middle of the floor dumbfounded ..

" let's go to the basement ."

" not to be a bitch but .. It's cold and dark in here .. So imagine the level of fear that'll be installed into me if we

Go down to the basement . " Abel says whispering .

" why are you whispering Abel ? Just please come with me ." Reluctantly he followed me down to the basement .

" Noah ! Come to the basement!" I shouted from the top of the stairs . I waited for a response till I heard a faint ' okay' .

Me and Abel walked down in the basement, he was very nervous because the way he was grabbing onto my hand indicated he was scared . Awh my baby is frightened by an old house , how cute .

It was dark as hell in the basement , I held on to Abel's hand as we both wandered aimlessly in the darkness of the basement . In the middle of the basement I , once again trip over something cause me to fall and Abel to land beside me . I start to feel around on the cold concrete till i grabbed and unfamiliar hand . It was cold , fragile , and bony .

A wave of Of fear and realization wept upon me , my screams and cries filled the basement . It's my mother .. I didn't need light to know that was my mothers dead body .

" Mooommyy, noo . " I cried onto the lifeless corpse and began praying . I layed my head on the torso of Mother , and began to feel around for Abel .

" Abel.." I say wiping my tears away.

" I'm right here babe . I'm not going anywhere ."

" they didn't even look Abel .. The police said they searched throughout the whole house . They lied , Nick did something . He probably paid them off to keep this out of the courts or whatever ." I say through my tears .

Suddenly the lights came on and when my eyes adjusted to the brightness , my tears clouded my vision . My mother wasn't my mother anymore . She was corpse , the skin her hair all gone .. Only thing that I could recognize her from is her wedding ring that was still on her finger . She was never his wife .. She was his punching bag .. I saw the rope that was tied to the floor board around her neck & began crying harder .

" oh my God.. Mom I'm so sorry . This is all my fault .. I swear this is my fault ." I say through my sobs .

" we should go .." Abel says

" noo, we can't just leave her here ."

" I'll have cash call the authorities tomorrow morning . You shouldn't be here right now . "
