Chapter 4
Addison POV

"Addison!" I turn my head and see detective Mae standing there. The tears were streaming down my face and I still held the gun to my head.
"Addison please don't do this" she says softly and I look away from her. I still don't stay anything and close my eyes.
"Addison tell me why you want to do this" she says and she moves closer to me.

I take out my phone and open it up and toss it on the ground.
"Listen to it" I say and keep my eyes in front of me.
"Addison I don't understand?" She says and I let out a small sob.
"Play the message from Dixie" I say and I hear shuffling before I hear her voice.

"Hey Addison I'm just heading out for us some air in case you are wondering where I went...I don't think I'm going to stay for long. I got to go I'll see you tomorrow. I love you"

The phone goes quiet and I let out another small sob.
"I never got to see her the next day" I say as the tears fall faster.
"Oh Addison" she says and she sits next to me.
"I'm so sorry" she says and I don't look at her.
"I want to pull this trigger. I want to see her again. I want to hug her again. I want to say that I love her again" I say.

"Addison if you pull that trigger Dixie will never Rest In Peace. She would want you to live your life, she would want to continue living for her" she says and I close my eyes.
"You know what hurts the most is that...that message was the last time I ever got to hear her voice...and I don't know if I'll be able to live with knowing that" I say and Mae sighs.
"My twin brother died" she says and I look at her.

She was looking out at the river.
"It was 5 years ago and he died saving me" she says and I see a tear fall from her eye but she wipes it away quickly.
"It should of been me....I was a depressed kid who felt so lost and didn't know why. Actually I do know why....I guess emotional damage goes a far way. I just felt that I was never good enough and my parents did not help that. They didn't realize how hard school was or how hard I was trying they just saw my mistakes and when I improved they said you can do better and I was never rewarded for doing okay" she says and I put the gun down.

"My parents fought all the time cause my dad was cheating and eventually they got a divorce but I witnessed everything and had some of the worst experiences. Then I lost my brother and I felt as if my whole world was going to end but I pushed past it and I joined the force to help people. I know its scary Addison but please don't kill yourself because in the end Dixie's killer will end up walking the streets, don't let the killer win Addison'' she says and I look at her.

''I'm sorry'' I say and I wrap my arms around her and she freezes for a moment before hugging me back. We pull away and she smiles at me and I give her a small smile back.
"Let get you back to the police station everyone is worried about you" I nod my head and wipe my face. We both get up and she puts her arm around my neck and we walk back to her car.
"Why did you come back to the crime scene though?" She says and I sigh.

"I don't know my mind is fucking with me" I say and she nods her head. We get into her car and I close my eyes and breath in and out.
"Addison?" I turn my head to look at her.
"Yeah" I say.
"How did you even find Dixie?" She says and I bite my bottom lip. I look at her and she looks at me.

It's getting really late and Dixie still hasn't answered any of my phone calls. I'm starting to get worried especially since it started raining 20 minutes ago. I grab my phone and scroll through my contacts before finding Dixie's number and pressing it. I put the phone to my ear and it rings and rings but no answer. I end the call and bite my bottom lip. Fuck it.

I go to the tracking app and put Dixie's phone information in it. Don't ask. It loads before Dixie's phone pops up. What the hell why is she all the way across town?

I grab my car keys and run outside. I quickly get in the car and start it up. I put the heater on to warm my cold wet body. I follow the map all the way across town. Soon the road cut out and I stop the car and frown. I look down at my phone and then back up. There was just a lot of trees and on the other side is the river. Something feels off.

I shake away my fear and get out of the car. Now it was really pouring down and I turn on my phones torch light. I start walking through the trees. It says she's close.
"DIXIE!" I shout. I move deeper through the trees and look down at my phone just to see that it said that Dixie's phone had lost connection. Now I was really worried and scared. I walk slowly trying not to slip on the muddy ground. Then I see something laying on the ground. Oh my god.

I'm going to regret this but I move closer to the thing on the ground and my world crashed down when I realize that it was a person. I shine the torch on the persons face and I screamed. There was Dixie's lifeless face.
"Dixie?" I say the tears starting to fall. I fall to the ground and I hover my hands over her not knowing if I should touch her.
"Dixie" I say sobbing. I touch her and she was ice cold.

"No no no" I say picking her up and holding her in my arms. I wipe away the dirt on her face.
"No please don't leave me!" I shout as my whole body started shaking. I rock back and forth holding Dixie's body close to me as I sobbed loudly. I look over her body and see so much blood. She's dead.

She's honestly dead.
