Sealed Lips ✔️

Chapter 43

Bethany:

"Did she take her phone with her?" I ask them.

We all look at her spot and I don't see her phone.

"What the," Fiona says as she gets up and walks towards the bathroom.

"Brooklyn," Fiona says knocking harshly on the door and we all go to the door.

"Brooklyn," Sky and Nora shout while knocking on the door.

"I'm coming in bitch," Jane says and runs against the door with her whole body weight, making the door fly open.

I look at Briley and we laugh a little at each other about Jane being a literal clown.

"She's not here," Sky says as she and Fiona enter the bathroom.

"She went through the window," Sky says rubbing her head furiously. We all sprint outside trying to find Brooklyn.

"Oh wow, isn't that just such a Fice move, going through the bathroom window," Maya sighs.

"Wait what the heck?" Jane asks as we all see Brooklyn sitting on the grass with her hands on her head. Her head is resting on her knees.

We all look at each other very confused.

"You're Fice," Sky says frowning with tears in her eyes.

"You figured it out huh?" Brooklyn cries.

"What do you mean figured it out?" Fiona asks her confused, sounding angry.

"You debated and decided that I must be Fice because I was the last suspect. Who else is Fice if I'm not, right? Even Fice told me I'm Fice. Fice wanted to frame me," Brooklyn stutters.

"What?" we all ask in unison.

"I went to the bathroom because I was terrified. We all know that Fice has to be one of us, right? Everyone was proven innocent, except me. So it had to be me right? When I got in the bathroom I got a text from Fice saying that I am Fice and I assumed that you decided that I had to be Fice. My first instinct was to escape, but when I came outside I realized what was happening. You guys would've found me eventually and I didn't know how to handle the situation," Brooklyn explains still crying in fear.

"Brooklyn, none of us are Fice. It's impossible. We went through all the names. We also got texts saying that we're Fice. It's okay, it's going to be okay," Maya says holding Brooklyn.

"I was so afraid, I really thought this was it," Briley whispers to me.

"I saw Brooklyn's mom pick her up from the club. She was yelling at her and dragged her to the car. She wouldn't have been able to tie Beth up to the tree," Nora says.

"You guys wanna go find the real Fice's lair? Maybe we could find some evidence that will give us leads on who Fice is," Fiona asks us trying to break the awkwardness.

"So we have officially established that Fice is not one of us, so can we please start trusting each other?" Jane asks.

"Yeah. If we can find Fice's lair, we could find so many clues," Sky says and we all agree.

We decided to drive to the Fairylights motel with two cars.

"We need a solid game plan," Sky says to all of us.

"Let's say everyone in Beth's car is going to distract anyone from seeing us, warn us when security is coming and they are going to look for the room and look out for Fice. Everyone in Sky's car will distract the receptionist and steal the spare key to the room," Fiona suggests.

"Maybe you should do the stealing since you're such a pro at it," Sky says and winks at Fiona. Sky can be intimidating sometimes. Before I became friends with her, I thought she was a bitch just like the Nitches.
