Hazel's body was found by her brother, Gabriel Aden with as he described a huge hole in her head that looks as though it been smashed in. Gabriel said there was no blood, no footprints in the carpet, or any noticable evidence--just hisdead sister lying in her bed with a dreamy expression on her face and a huge hole in her head.
There was no doubt that Hazel was beautiful and well liked and known--even if she had been Paige's shadow. People liked her because she was nice--something that Paige Michaelchuck never could be. Hazel always had an understanding and friendly look about her. She had such a great personality you could possibly never think that someone would kill her.
Except mayber her best friend, Paige, of course.
It was close to midnight, a few hours after Hazel's murder, when the police came to Paige's house. Paige's room is located on the first floor of the Michaelchuck's two-story home, so naturally, she answered the door.
"Paige Michaelchuck?" asked the officer.
"Yeah huh," she yawned, stretching her arms out a bit as she tried to wake herself up.
You are under arrest as a suspected murderer--"
"Murderer!?" shrieked Paige.
"Of Hazel Aden," finished the officer. "We received information that you were the last person to see Miss Aden. You have the right to remain si--"
"I'm only sixteen! Haze is my best friend!"
Paiges parents came downstairs then, asking who was at the door at this time of night. They were oblivious to the fact that their one and only daughter was being arretsed for murder. The officer explained to Paiges parents what was going on while handcuffing Paige. Paige's parents were shocked and appalled when the found out that she was a suspect in murder.
"But Mom! Daddy! I didn't do it!" Paige cried, but her parents didn't know whether to believe her or not.
They let her be whisked away in the cop car to the police station.
