TW/ mention of suicide and self harming

I woke up to Audrey's text. Her girlfriend committed suicide. I hurried up and changed, and Kieran and I headed to school. There's twice as many reporters here for her death, and Audrey is being questioned by all of them. I run over to her, and rip her away, and lead her inside the school. We sit at a table and she cries for ten minutes. Finally she explains she was found hanging in her room, with cuts and scars all over her arms.

"Audrey I'm so sorry. Oh god."

"Thanks, I don't know how to deal with any of this. She was bullied because of the video...but I never thought she would go this far."

We sit in silence, mourning, and crying. After a few minutes Noah and

Kieran join us at the table and try comforting her. Nothing works and the bell rings.

It was lunch time when the gif was sent to every single phone in the school. A picture of the attacker I was attacked by, with Nina's body behind them in her pool bleeding.

Paybacks a bitch. Is what was written with it. Fuck. Audrey started crying again, and all of us fell silent again. I turned my phone off, and tried comforting her. I put my hand on top of hers and rubbed it, which triggered memories of her and Rachel together. I stopped rubbing and pulled my hand away, looking down as I realized how important Rachel was too Audrey.

"I'm so sorry Audrey."

I was answered with sobs, so i continued eating and kept silent, as did everyone else.

The rest of the day goes by in a blur. I sit in Kieran's truck and we stay silent, thinking about everything that happened in the last week.

"So we definitely have a killer on the loose."

I look away as he speaks, knowing what he's gonna say next.

"Maybe you should investigate?"

"I can't, this is all too much and I don't wanna invade so many minds."

"But what if you're the only hope of stopping them, before anyone else is hurt..or killed?"

"Don't guilt me right now."

We fall back into silence. He starts his truck and drives me home, and not a single word is spoken. Not even when I get out, which I was hoping for.

I lay on my bed, over thinking everything that just happened. What if I am the answers to everything? But why me? I didn't even know Nina or Rachel, what would their deaths have to do with me? I sigh and roll over, and try to fall asleep. I realize I'll never be able to so I check my phone, where theres not a single notification. I throw it on the ground and roll back over, overthinking until I finally fall asleep.
