Euphoria

Where ever You Are

'Today , is a very hard...for all of us. '
'As you all know, Beth committed suicide...but she'll always be here, inside of our heart.'
Mr Frankton said and continued.
'We also found rumours about a video...If anyone have something that might open the case and shed light into it, we'll need your cooperation, thats it from me, have a good day. '
I took my bag and approached Mr Frankton asking him.
'Any idea why she did it? '
He took off his glasses and running his fingers through his biology books.
'Unfortunately I don't. ..but you do.'
He said peeking his eyes at me.
'Why would I kno...'
'You were the last person , or should I say friend...that she had. '
He interrupted.
I stared at him.
Should I show him the video on Chads phone.
No.
I'll probably regret it.
Beth isn't dead.
And I need everyone thinking so.
'I should go.'
I said rushing off.
'Be careful Mary, I don't want you getting hurt. '

----
As promised.
I waited for Chad outside my house.
What's taking him so long.
It started drizzling.
Precise 10 seconds my hair was soaked.
I tried rush inside and I couldnt believe my eyes.
The door was locked.
But how.
I turned the knob.
But nothing, it was locked.
The kitchen windows was slightly open.
It started raining heavily, but luckily I was inside .
My hair soaked and my feet soapy.
I approached the front door and it was jammed from inside.
No wonder I couldnt get in.
After making myself a cup of tea.
I heard a car hooting outside.
Chad.
The door was still jammed ,so I used the window, again.

----
'Hey, what took you so long. '
I asked while putting on my seat belt. 'Im sorry for dragging you into this mess, if you not up for it. ..I'll understand. '
Chad whispered.
'Im not doing this fun, im doing this because someone's life is at stake. '
I said rushing my hands to my pocket.
'What you doing? '
Chad asked.
I checked my phone.
I got a message from an unknown number saying.
-I hope you not looking for me, because if you are, I'll kill you -
Beth?
Chad still waited for an answer.
'Its nothing really. '
I lied.
My mom was in hospital.
Did my mom really wanted to kill herself.
That's why she left the note on the fridge.
My mom tried, but my mom is still alive.
What if this is some how all connected.
The suicide , the overdose and the video.
Whatever was going on.
Is just wrong, all of this.
My eyes closed slightly.
It was round about 20:53.
And we are 5 hours on the road.
I wonder if Chad has any idea where his going.
But besides that, he was calm.
I turned to him and asked.
'Hey , Uhmmm may I ask you, where's your parents?'
He replied immediately with the answer I didn't expect.
'We here. '
He said while jumping out the car.
I opened the door and I could feel the fog digging up my legs all the way to my body.
I shivered.
'Take this, it'll keep you warm. '
He said handing over his jacket.
'Thanks. '
I replied.
As we searched the forest I asked Chad .
'Why come here specifically?'
'I don't know, maybe its because Beth always came here. '
He replied.
As we searched, the forest became more uninteresting .
The logs and rocks which all looks alike.
Finally we were getting somewhere.
Or were we.
Chad and I stared at a campfire nearby.
I tried to rush down there but Chad grabbed my hand.
'Don't do anything stupid, we go to together alright. '
He said as we made our way to the campfire.
'Beth? '
Chad whispered while pulling his bag down.
Beth was sitting on a rock.
'How did you find me? '
Beth asked.
She had a long white gown and was barefoot.
'Why did you this? '
Chad asked.
'Do what exactly ?'
'Everyone thinks you dead, and here you are. '
I stood still as Beths eyes came to me.
'Mary. ' She whispered out.
'Beth. '
I replied, my voice shaking.
'I told you to stay.'
Chad looked at me.
'What she talking about? '
Chad asked.
As he turned his back to Beth.
'She threatened to. '
I whispered.
'What,why?'
Chad asked confusional.
Beth didn't reply .
In fact she ran.
'Beth!!'
'Where you going? !!'
Chad ran after Beth rushing and dodging through the tree logs.
l was still not moving, I took Chads bag and decided to look where he went.
Geez where is he.
I was lost.
Not knowing where to go I saw something coming.
'Chad? '
I whispered.
'Chad! !'
I shouted as he came out the hoods with blood dripping off his body like paint dripping from the ceiling.
'Chad, are you okay? '
I cried out.
'Get. ....In the. .....car ...and go.'
Chad breathed out coughing.
'Im not leaving you here. '
'Please. ...go. '
Tears came down following on my shirt.
Chad could barely look at me.
His eyes were trying to close every split second.
'The only way to. ...stop this...is to find Emily. '
He said coughing out blood.
'Stop talking. '
I said while putting pressure on his wound with the jacket he gave me.
'Come on, Come on .'
The more I tried healing him, the more I cried.
I saw red lights .
What the.
The police, what they doing here.
Beth must've called them.
'Goodbye. '
I whispered while kissing Chad on his forehead.
I ran as fast as I could not knowing where to go.
I just had to get away .
Chads words kept on replaying inside my head.
The only way to stop this is to find Emily.
Suddenly I fell.
Inside a hole.
There was no way out, thats for sure.
'Police department, everyone out here?!!'
A chief shouted.
Luckily I was inside this hole.
'Let's go, nothing here. '
What a relief, I sighed out.
Maybe staying in this hole for the night might be the best option.
For now.
