"Now, now. What's this? What's become of you? You are not the small, whimpering, cowardice, weak boy I once knew. No. You've grown. You're just like me! Come, join me! I've waited for you for so long and my dear, you're home. Stay." He couldn't escape her. He ran and he ran. But she was everywhere. He looked to the right, she was there. He looked to the left- how'd she get there so fast? He turned around to run again but she was there, too. He had to face her and there was no escaping that. "My dear, why so scared? I only want to show you the love you deserve-" He pinched his arm to make sure he wasn't dreaming but he knew he wasn't. He knew this was real. He can't go back now. "-Come with me and you can be happy! We can be a family! Oh, wouldn't you love that! Don't be so shy! We've waited so long!" He tried to run but he fell back and sprained his ankle. Bang! A long bang went off and in that moment he knew that he lost his friend. "Fine. If you won't cooperate, we'll just have to play a little dirty." Another bang went off. In that moment, everything changed...again.

"But it's not all their fault." I sob. "They aren't the reason she's dead." "... and neither are you... Why do you insist on blaming yourself?" "Because I could've done better... I should have been there... I should have saved her..." "You were there with her all night, you did all that you could have." I shake my head. "No, Will, I wasn't." I clear the tears trying to see what his expression was. "I left in the middle of the night... To-meet Logan..." I look at his face. "That still doesn't make it your fault..." I nod. "It does" I start to walk inside when he calls out my name, I whirl around to face him. "Why do you care so much?!" "I'm afraid you're going to hurt yourself!" I smile. "No, I only hurt others" I turn back around to face the door, when he spoke one last time. "Please do something that gives you reason to come out." I thought about that. "Go home, Will." I close the door behind me and proceed to walk up the stairs and return back to my beloved bed. As I lay in my bed, I stare at the ceiling. 'Do something that gives you reason to come out.' Is that what he had said. he's right, and I had just the thing to do. I'd find Ellie's killer and make them pay. Bailey is just a normal teenage girl, never wished for things to be different, never wanted a more exciting life, but that's exactly what she gets when he best friend is murdered and the police don't seem to care. Bailey realizes if she wants her best friend to get the justice she deserves, she's gonna have to catch the killer herself.
