Chapter twenty-eight 

How could you let this happen to me?

I sat up in a panic, looking at every inch of my bedroom. Nothing was here or there. Nothing. All my posters had been moved into a pile at the foot of my bed. I rubbed my eyes to clear the grogginess.  What is going on? I could feel my heart racing from the voice in my dream. My heart felt like it jumped forward. I knew who's voice it was. Sarah. I felt like my heart was going to fall out of my mouth. How could you let this happen to me? I replayed. 

No! Sarah this wasn't my fault! I thought hoping to the high heavens she could hear me. This couldn't have been my fault! She was fine yesterday morning all day! All day! Then out of no where she...got killed. Murdered! That wasn't my fault! I thought to myself trying to make since of why I would dream of something this fucked up. I was also trying to convince myself that it really couldn't have been my fault. I am not what did this to her. Aiden murdered my best Friend. 

The thought of him made my stomach drop and my mind swirl into memmories of last night. Dallas and him fighting. Aiden trying to take me away from here. My  mothere with a knife. Sarah dying.. everything is just getting more and more insane by the day. I looked over my soulder at the night stand. Shit it's already three in the afternoon and no one has woke me up? I stood up slowly taking in a breath trying to steady my self for the rest of the day , and what's to come of it.

I opened my door and heard Derek laughing. I hadn't remembered him being here till now. I wanted to be in his arms right away. I smiled quietly to myself hearing his deep, soft voice trailing down the hallway. I followed it till he was in view. He was sitting on the couch with my mom watching a movie. One I didn't recognise. He looked up at me and smiled. Warmth passed over me making my heart calm to the sight of him.

"Good after noon sleepy head." He said. My mom turned to look at me with pain filled eyes. She was all wrapped up in a blue blanket. "Hey." I said. Mom stood up and walked over to me giving a me a hug. "Hey baby girl, I have to tell you somethings right now. But I want you to come and sit down first." She whispered to my ear. Worry fell over me and my heart began to pick up the pace again. I walked over and sat down next to Derek placing his arm around me for comfort.

He leaned over and kissed my forehead with a smile. "You slept like a rock. I hope your feeling a bit better today. I know everything will be alright Selenva. Sarah is still with us in our hearts." I could help but let his words sink in to every inch of my heart. The tears started pouring down and he slid me closer covering me. "What is going on mom?" I asked through my sobs. She looked down at me with concern before speaking.

"I spoke to your father this morning. He said everything went a little to well over there and was offered a new job. He said he was going to turn it down if I thought we would be happier here. I told him about everything that happened last night with Aiden. He said he was going to come hunt him down and blow his head off. I talked him down after an hour and told him are best option would be to move." She said slowly. I couldn't even register all of this. We are moving? I don't want to move!

"Is that why all my posters are off the walls in my room? What else is diffirent?" I asked stil crying. I didn't want to hear any of this right now. With Sarahs death only just happening last night and my ex boyfriend being the murderer! Moving doesn't sound to appealing! I need to be home, be somewhere familiar to me!  "Yes, I thought it best to pack some things already. He said we should start right away and be ready to leave after a week. That does not give us much time dear. So I took somethings down off the wall after are phone conversation."She said pulling the blanket over herself.

Derek held still as ice next to me. He must not have been expecting this either. "I don't want to move mom. I can't just leave everything. I can't leave Dallas, not now. Derek I don't want to leave you either. Mom I can't go." I said pleading. She just shook her head and said, "This is happening Selenva. We want you to be safe and to be able to walk around freely without being in this kind of a mess. I understand that Sarah's death is going to be hard on Dallas and you. But the fact is you are not safe here any longer and we must leave to protect you. " She tone was final.
