My breathing is uneven as I venture down the hallway of the apartment complex, carrying what seems like a ton of cardboard boxes. Harry walks passed acting as if the weight is nothing to him. I groan and hurry along his side.

"How in the world can you carry that much stuff and not break a sweat?!" I huff and drop the boxes in the foyer, turning around to retrieve my suitcase from our rental car. Harry runs up from behind and grabs me from my waist and twirls us around. I burst into a fit of giggles and protest for him to put me down.

"C'mon, once we get our bags we'll order a pizza and invite Niall and Tori over, yeah?" I nod eagerly and hold Harry's hand as we gather the last of our things.

"You take out some plates and I will get the pals!" I say. He chuckles and walks to the boxes while I step out in the hallway. I take a turn to the left and knock on the door three times with a silly smile on my face. Everything seems whole now. I'm going to college, Harry's doing online schooling, and Niall and Tori live right next door to us.

The door opens and Niall stands in a bloody shirt. Worry and grief cover his features as he looks down at the mess on his shirt. A shriek rises in my throat but my mouth is to dry to release it.

"What the hell, Niall?" I whisper but I know he heard me because his head ferociously starts shaking. His fists clutch hair at each side of his head and pull.

"I-I don't-I didn't.." Niall's voice quivers.

I move past him and enter his apartment. It almost looks exactly like Harry and mine's--boxes clutter the floors, bare walls, and no furniture. A strong stench of blood overwhelms my senses as I walk further into the apartment. Then, once I reach the bathroom I know the source of the smell is in here. Tori's body lies in the bathtub, water mixed with a scarlet thick liquid overflows from the side. Her eyes are hauntingly open and filled with emptiness.

"Niall, what did you do?!" I scream in horror and move quickly to the tub. My hand reaches to her pulse on her neck but there's no heart beat. The life is already drained from her, it's too late for me to save her.

A sudden movement catches my eyes and I rush to turn my head. My father stands in the doorway, a malicious grin covering his face. A bloody knife is clutched in his hand so tight that his knuckles are white and I believe he's close to breaking the handle in half.

"She wasn't a good friend, sweety. Never liked you, never trusted you. That's why you should never trust her." He raises the knife and carefully scratches the side of his head. Niall appears next to him and takes the knife from his hand coming towards me with no emotions shown on his face.

"Yeah, don't think he's good either." Father chuckles and leans on the threshold preparing for what's coming next.

"Niall, listen to me. I still love you, don't do this to me." I plead. Of course I love him, just not in the way he wants me to. My heart races and I feel as if it's going to burst out of my chest.

"It's not my choice, Cally. Gotta do this.." He raises the knife and plunges it deep into my shoulder. Surprisingly, the pain is numb but I still let out an ear-piercing scream.
