Yours Truly || Sequel to Let Me Know

Chapter Twenty-Three: Pseudocide

Julia:

We came home that night with a bunch of questions in mind.
Was Sarah with the police yet? Did they take her in? Is she out in the streets, putting us in danger? Is she going to try to pull another one of her stunts?

But until we called the Police Department tomorrow morning, we wouldn't be able to get any of the answers. Lin and I hopped into bed after showering, and let me tell you, we were literally on the verge of falling asleep.

"Come here," Lin lightly patted the bed, letting Tobi know he could come and cuddle with us. He got in the bed and as we got comfortable, we switched the TV on. I pulled the white comforter over the two of us as I snuggled into his chest. He began softly stroking my hair, making me fall into an actual coma.

After surfing through some channels, we decided to put on the news, to get back in contact with the world. We basically watched no TV when we were in Europe.

"Well, thank you Mike. Now for some Breaking News: Former Hamilton Star Sarah Wilson has been just found deceased in Prospect Lake. More details on this report will be coming shortly."

Lin and I froze. We wouldn't dare to even look at each other.

Sarah Wilson pronounced dead.

His phone starts ringing and he glances at me. His breathing got quicker by each moment that passed and his eyes were now gone wide and shallow. He then looks back at the caller ID. His face softens a bit when he notices the call is from Daveed. He puts it on speaker before sliding his finger across the green button.

"Put on the news. Right now."

"We just did." Lin responds as we both sat up next to each other. I started rocking back and forth, trying to calm myself down before any sort of anxiety attack hit us both.

"I don't believe this. I don't." Daveed kept repeating.

"What do you mean?" I questioned as I leaned forward, trying to hear him better. I kept sneaking glances at Lin and he was in the exact same state as me.

"Look at the supposed story: Sarah Wilson, 24 year old former Hamilton star, was pronounced dead after a scene in Prospect Lake. Witness say they heard a faded scream yelling 'Lin, I swear I'm getting my revenge!' and when they came to the scene, all they saw was blood smeered on the ground and a gun thrown to the floor."

"Did she...take her own life?" Lin gulped down. Billions of incoherent thoughts were rushing through our minds as all of a sudden, everything became one big blur.

"I'm convinced. This had to be staged. She just wants attention. She wants to ruin you both, especially Lin. There's no body. There's no proof she died. There's no evidence." Daveed responded.

My phone started buzzing multiple times as Lin kept talking to Daveed on the phone. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and picked up the phone, my stomach twisting once I started reading the notifications. My face instantly got drained out of any sort of color that it had left. I felt the goosebumps engulf my skin, wrapping themselves around me.

"Lin..." I trailed off, not wanting to show him the Twitter messages I was getting. He took just one look at my phone screen and went speechless. He started running his hands through his hair, not caring if he messed it up.

"What happened?" Daveed asked as we both went utterly silent.

"They think Lin did it." I managed to squeak out.

(A/N: Double chapters bc ILY🥺 also my brain would NOT let me sleep until I wrote this chapter so here you go! Let's see who can solve the mystery...)
