The house next door

Chapter 18

Holy crap, it stinks in here" Hailey said.

"Let's make this quick alright"

"Exactly what are we looking for Em?".

"Anything, that would give us an idea about Marcus or the mysterious occurrences".

As we proceeded to look for something that would give us an idea about any of the unordinary, Hailey and I decided to go separate ways into the accident house.

Slowly making my way into a very dark room, I noticed the was a bed frame still there along with a lamp. Turning on the lamp, I was a bit shocked that it still worked.

As I turned the light on, I noticed a shadowy figure appear in front of me.

"Gasp" Hailey, Is that you? I whispered in a low shaky voice.

After standing in the same spot for a few minutes, I decided to ignore what I felt like and saw and continue to look for anything suspicious or out of the ordinary.

Scrambling through tarnish draws. I finally stumbled across a small brown box. I took a close look at the familiar box and contemplated where I saw this box before.

Standing in one spot, allowing my mind to race through everything that happened from the time I reached in this town. I finally remembered where I saw the box.

"At my house!" I partially yelled.

Slowly opening the box, I saw a small neatly folded piece of paper lying there. Taking a seat on the ancient bed, I decided to unravel the paper.

It read.

*Marcus*
I've thought it would come to this so quickly. I knew some day I'll have to pay for my consequences, but I forgot all that existed when I met Emily. I started to think she made me a better person, but deep down inside I knew I would always have this demonic way about me. I've lied so much to her, I'm actually afraid to show her the real me. Aggressive, cheater, or even worse MURDERER.

"Gasppp"....

Who did he hurt? I thought to myself. Leaving my thoughts baffled with a million questions, I continued to read...

I hated them, they just had to go. I couldn't bare another day with them in sight. I just had to!
Lying to Emily telling her I cut the wire from their car accidentally, in all honestly I knew what I was doing. And my little brother. MAN!! I fucking hated him...spoil bitch!!! He got everything he wanted and they looked at me like a nobody.

After I heard the news on television, I smiled to myself and acted like I was so hurt. I wanted that to happen!!

I've got a new family now. Emily and Jacob is everything to me. I'm slowly getting rid of her mother and it seems like Hailey is in the way now.

~~
I couldn't stand reading another word from his "psycho diary"...

"Hailey!!" I yelled.

Hailey: shhh...what! What's wrong, did you find something?

"We need to go, Marcus isn't who he says he is".

Hailey: Em...what's going on..

Hailey let's get out ok...

As I cracked the front door open, Marcus was standing there, his tall figure appeared before our eyes causing us to gasp in fright.

Marcus...what..what are you doing here? I asked in a shakily voice.

"I thought I could trust you" was the last thing he said to me before knocking me out.
