Beautiful Scars

CHAPTER 7: DETECTIVE TRACY

After the final checkup, I was allowed to return back. Cath volunteered to stay with me till I fully recovered, but I refused her offer. Deep down, I am still hoping that Tristan will be in the apartment waiting for my return. I made sure aunt Lisa is not aware of what happened here. She would be extremely devastated if she knew what happened.

After multiple arguments I finally agreed to let Cath drive me back. I straight away went to Tristan's room and opened the door. To my surprise, it is not locked. Ignoring my throbbing head, I searched for some clues. I mean, I can't just sit and wait for him to return and answer my questions. I have to be the detective in my own case. I was looking through some of his stuff and came across a photo album. Wow!

There are pictures of me in university last time. Pictures of me crying in my secret spot! Guess it ain't secret after all. There are also pictures of him with Mr Liam! Wait! Mr Liam? My boss? And there's this familiar face standing together with them. This looks like the chancellor hall. I feel like I have seen him in the university before. Who are they? Oh my god! These people know each other? What kind of drama have I put myself into? Most probably I'm playing the dumb character in this whole show! There are even pictures of me eating, sitting in class and... and of me and Tom. That was when he handed me the money for helping him! I was secretly followed? I did not sign up for any candid-modeling shit!

I wanted to search more but the doorbell stopped me from any further investigation. Who is it? Tristan? I made sure I kept the album in place and closed the door before welcoming my guest.

"Mr Liam?" First suspect in the house baby! Detective, he's all yours!

" Hi Tracy, sorry I couldn't come earlier. How are you?"

" It's alright sir. Please come in."

I sat on the sofa opposite him and gave him 'that' stare.

"Is something wrong, Miss Tracy?"

" You tell me sir."

He looked at me confused.

"Where's Tristan?"

"Wh..what hahahahaha who is Tristan?"

I rolled my eyes. I don't even care anymore. If he wants to fire me, I will accept it happily.

" My dad! Don't act like you don't know Mr Liam! Do I look like a stupid b*itch that y'all could make fun of? I know you know him! I just want to know what your plans are. "

" Miss Tracy what are you even talking about?"

He's playing dumb y'all! Damn it! I regret not watching more detective movies before. I don't know what I should do next. Is this where I use some violence? You just got violated by an old bald monster and you could do nothing about it! This guy could just smack your face and the next thing you know, you might wake up in heaven or hell! Shut up and just ask him nicely!

" Look sir, I know you know him. Just please tell me what is happening. Please don't do this to me! I'm so tired of all these!" And 1...2...3... Cry!

He sighed and looked extremely disturbed.

" Look Tracy, it's not what you think it is. I will not tell you anything. This is not my story to tell. However, I can tell you where Tristan is. I will send you there if you want and you can ask him yourself. "

"Yes please. I want to meet him."

"This is not what he wanted and he's gonna be extremely pissed at me so I hope you will use this opportunity well. He has temper issues and the reason he went away is because he is blaming himself for what had happened to you and he needs time to calm down. But at the same time, I can't stop you from wanting to know the truth either. "

I interrupted him, " No worries sir, I will face all his wrath. He can be mad at me all he wants. I just want to meet him."

He smiled before continuing, " Tracy, he can never be mad at you."

Here we go again with the weird sentences from these people! He won't give up on you! He won't be mad at you! Ughhh =.=

" Be ready at 8 tomorrow. I will bring you to him."

"Why can't you just bring me now?"

"Woah! You need to rest. You look pale. Tristan asked me to check up on you. If he knows you look like this, I will be facing his wrath."

"I can only rest after I figure everything out. So please help me. I promise I will rest once I meet him."

"I just wish I never came here. Alright! Let's go"

I chuckled at his response. I took a few things and followed him to his car. I'm extremely tired and the pain is definitely bothering me but I can never rest without knowing the truth. Mr. Tristan wait till I put my hands on you, you idiot!
