Chapter 4: Life after you, Can't happen

Kim

"Miss, Crawford you mother was found dead this morning" I heard them say as my heart stopped in the moment.

My head tried processing it, my hands began to clutch into fist, as I was about to scream. But instead it was a whimper. As I fell to the ground tears beginning to fall.

The cops helped me to my feet as I was just lost. "Miss, Crawford were going to have to take you in. It's for your safety" they said as I got to my feet. They walked me to their police car.

I sat in the back while they drove off. I couldn't think straight, all I though was planning her funeral, getting a site next to dad and sister.

We got there shortly, after wiping my tears away. They again helped my into the police station. They sat me down in a room, the walls were made of glass.

So I could see them and they could see me. I continued to stair at the floor, thinking of all the great memories of my mother. Anything I had, I had to hold on to them.

I needed an escape route of this world and my mother was the only one I could trust or love. And now she's gone. The cop walked in placing a bottle of water next to me. "Are you hungry" he asked.

I shook my head continuing to stair at the floor. "Miss Crawford theres someone here that would like to talk to you" he said in a warming tone. I though about it, maybe it will be good to talk.

"I want it to be private" I said looking up at his face. "Miss Crawford I unsure you-" he said as I cut him off. "Oh, come on I watch T.V. I know theres cameras and people outside of the glass.

I want this to be private, after Im done talking he or she is allowed to tell you or do whatever they want with the information" I said knowing the cop was getting frustrated.

"Those are my terms" I said looking at him for the last time. "Yes, Miss Crawford if you will follow me" he said taking me out of the small room and into a bigger one. The door opened to a man standing there' re back facing me.

The cop whispered something to the man and left the room. "Miss, Crawford" the man said as soon as the guy was gone. The voice had a tone at sounded familiar.

I though for a moment, the name was about to leave my mouth as the man turned to face me. I couldn't believe my eyes, there stood the boy I met so long ago, that left at my worst time. "Jack" I said in disbelieve.

"Kim" he said. His face was about the same as I remembered but with a more man like appearance.

His hair was the same long flowing locks of brown. His eyes were the same brownish color, just the way I like them.

His body had balked up with strong muscles and a chiseled chest. I quickly got rid of all those thoughts and focused on my mother. There was an awkward moment of silence between us.

My eyes drafted to the floor again, "I never got to tell her I loved her" I blurted out. "Kim, she knew" he said taking my hand. I felt sparks fly as my mind began to loose all though. I moved my hand away looking down again.

"Kim, I know this might be uncomfortable but I have to ask you these questions" he said. I looked into his eyes trying not to loose myself again. I nodded and he asked me the first question.

"Did you notice any change in behavior or mood, was she frightened in any way" he asked. "No, she was the same as always" I said. "Did she, have any thoughts of suicide" he asked next.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing they actually though she killed herself. "You think she killed herself" I said tears begging to while up in my eyes.

"No, its just a question" he said with a sense of comfort and passion in his voice. "She didn't kill herself, the one most likely to kill themselves in that house is me" I cried.

I closed my mouth and eyes, that was one though I didn't want him to hear. He looked at me with shock then concern. The last thing I wanted was pity, especially form him.

"Kim-" he started but I was done I just wanted to leave, get some air. "I'm done, can I please leave" I said. He looked at me with a frown "We found a message"

Jack

Her beautiful eyes were full with hate and despair. She looked so clam yet deep down inside her there was a ticking time bomb just waiting to plow up.

"Did she, have any thoughts of suicide" I asked surely regretting after.

"You think she killed herself" she said the tears started making me feel horrible. "No, its just a question" I said trying to comfort her.

"She didn't kill herself, the one most likely to kill themselves in that house is me" she yelled tears still falling.

She looked horrible, a helpless girl that has her life falling apart in front of her eyes. I wanted her to know she had me.

"Kim-" I started but she cut me off. "I'm done, can I please leave" she asked. I gave her a frown telling her "We found a message" She gave my sad eyes and sat back down in her seat.

"What message" she asked looking back down at the floor. I took the pictures out of the case files and pull them in front of her.

The ones of her mother I left in the envelope. Her face turned ghost white and a tear rolled down her cheek. "Did the person kill my father" she asked.

I nodded not wanting to tell her anything further. "Jack" she asked. "Yes" I said, looking down at her. "Please take me to the house" she said. I knew I couldn't it would be break the rules. "Please" she begged.

"I need to see it, see my home" she plead. I nodded my head helping her out of the room. I helped her into my car, slipping through the station without a word.

The car ride was silent the whole way. I pulled into the drive way parking the car.

"Do you want me to go with you" I asked. "No, I need to do this on my own" she said walking out of the door.

"If you hear or see anything, just call" I said. She nodded and gave me a vague smile. I watched her as she walked in. I hit my head against the back of my seat.

I shouldn't be doing this, but I couldn't say no to her. I just started to relax when I heard a scream from the house.

I jumped up and ran up to the front door. I looked around the bottom floor screaming her name.

"Kim" I yelled. There was no answer, I ran up the stairs to her room. Their she was, tears coming down her face. She had just saw the message written in her mothers blood.

"Kim" I said putting my hand on her shoulder. She turned to me curling up in my arms. Her head laid on my chest. I stroked her hair and rubbed my back. "Jack" she whimpered.

"Shhh it's going to be ok" I told her. Her cold hands rapped around my back, I felt her sadness, I felt her hopelessness…
