KILLER EYES

CHAPTER 5

The whole way home was long and dark, but I wasn't so scared. I knew I could be less afraid now that I know I'm under police protection. My body was more relaxed than before and there wasn't as much tension for which I was honestly happy. The paranoia of someone watching me also slowly subsided. I felt better. The wind was cold as it always is after rain and the air was fresh. I took a deep breath in and out. I like this weather.

When I returned home it was already late but my mother was still not at home, I looked at the clock and saw that it was after 9. I decided to take a shower and lie down in bed. My body feels a lot better than before. A weight has been lifted off of my heart and my thoughts slowly went away until I fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the morning the sun woke me up and was shining brightly into my eyes. I woke up relatively early because when I looked at my alarm clock it was still half an hour before it was supposed to go off. It doesn't happen to me often, but today I was happy that it happened, at least I will be able to have something good for breakfast.

When I went down the stairs I saw mom's stuff were laid on the couch and her shoes were next to the front door. I was happy that she came home safely. When I looked at the table, I saw that there were unpaid bills, and I sighed. She still hadn't paid the rent. I am sorry that she has to work so much for a salary that is not good. It looks like I'm going to pay the rent again, it's not the first time I'm paying it, and I really don't mind helping her. After all she has been taking care of me my whole life. My father sends some money here and there, but he doesn't care much, I'm honestly glad I don't remember him. I know it sounds selfish, but for me, family is very important and if someone can leave and never come back, why bother sending someone money.

For breakfast I decided to have a banana and some yogurt. It's a quick breakfast which is best for me. I don't like having to walk on a full stomach.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After breakfast I went to school. When I got to the school I was waiting for Jasper. Well he was nowhere to be seen. I looked at the time and it was 7:30 which is the time when we usually meet ... could it be he's not coming today? Jasper is never late for class and almost always goes to school regularly unless he is sick or going for a job meeting with his mother or father.

Fear flooded my body, could have something happened to him? Did he kill him too?

A figure passed in front of me and I looked at who passed through the school gate and saw that it was Jasper. Is he not even going to say hello? He won't even smile? I ran after him and grabbed his hand.

„Good morning? Are you not even going to say hello?" i said wondering what his problem was.

He ignored me.

„Please Ria could you be so nice and let me go" he said with a cold tone as if he was a completely different person.

I automatically let him go out of shock from what he just said. Could it be that he is angry with me? I felt as if my heart was breaking and thoughts like what I did wrong started to crowd my head. What did I do so wrong for him to act like this?

One thing I don't like about Japer is how he can turn from a beautiful angel into a demon. He can be cold to people when he is angry or sad, but it rarely happens. Maybe he had an argument with his mom or dad, but I know that he would never take it out on me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He ignored me all day and didn't say a word to me. I was sorry because I care about him very much without him I feel alone. A feeling of regret and loneliness followed me wherever I went. The last lesson was chemistry and we went to another classroom. I wanted to go with Jasper, but as always, he just took his things and left without me. I didn't understand what was going on and I thought I was going to start crying soon.

„It looks like even your good friend thinks you're a piece of s**t" Chloe said with a laugh and left the classroom with her group of friends.

Maybe she's right, maybe Jasper thinks I'm boring and doesn't want anything to do with me. Thoughts that really hurt were filling my head and I didn't know what to do. I was left alone in class and I didn't want to move, so I lay down on my desk. I never skipped class before, but I was currently thinking about it. My body didn't want to move at all. I covered my face in my hands so that no one could see me. It hurt me seeing Jasper like this. I just want everything to be okay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I opened my eyes, I found that the classroom was empty. There were no student bags or things scattered all around the classroom. I looked at the time and it was 5 p.m. From the classroom window you could see the sun setting and its orange rays falling into the classroom. I slept for 3 hours !!!!

„You're finally up"

When I looked at the front door, Jasper was standing there. He came closer to me but didn't give me a single look.

„I told the teacher you weren't feeling well but the school will close in a moment, you should leave" he said coldly, turning his back to me ready to leave.

My brain couldn't process him this way. It's like looking at a completely different person and asking yourself who is standing in front of you.

„Jay...what did I do for you to behave like this" I said quietly with tears on the edge.

„Please tell me what I did so wrong for you to be like this" I said with tears in my eyes.

He let out a sigh and turned to me.

„Where were you yesterday? I went to see you at work, but they told me you had already left because you weren't feeling well! I looked for you everywhere!" he said with a piercing gaze.

„At the police station" I said.

His expression looked strange ... on one side he looked at me as if he didn't believe me but on the other hand was curious what I was doing there.

„You should've called Alexandria...what were you even doing there so late?" He asked.

I can't tell him the truth ... at least not yet ... I can't tell him anything unless I'm 100% sure they caught the killer.

I was silent and looked at my hands, which were placed in my fists on my desk. I couldn't look into his eyes he would be able to tell I was lying.

„Since that murder, you're different Ria..... as if you didn't want to tell me something and I'm worried about you. We always told each other everything, but it looks to me as if you are hiding something from me. I feel like I'm losing you" he said.

„I'll tell you, just not now" I said quietly.

That's all I could do. I couldn't tell him anything else, I didn't know how to tell him. I would feel terrible if I told him that an innocent man had died because of me and I couldn't do anything about it I was just looking at him.

„Come" he said gently.

As I slowly lifted my head up, I saw that his hand was reaching out as if he was begging me to take it, which I did. He pulled me towards him and hugged me tightly, I couldn't hold it in anymore and started balling my eyes out. I felt safe in his embrace.

„It's okay, I'm sorry I behaved the way I did. You can tell me when you feel like it" He patted my head.

„I love you Ria" he said.

„I love you too" I said quietly with my head still pressed against his chest.

??? POV

I looked at my papers in the study room and wrote down the necessary things in my diary. There were about 10 missed calls on my phone from Noah, but I was too busy and focused on my work that I didn't even notice. I want to avoid all contact with people, I don't like when they talk s**t.

The thought of visiting my mom flowed through my head. I haven't seen her in a long time. I got up from my chair and put the necessary documents on the shelf opposite my work desk. I poured whiskey into an almost empty glass and walked closer to the window. The sunset was really gorgeous. It reminded me of the blood of my victims and it made me smile. It will be dark in a moment and I should slowly prepare to leave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The road wasn't long it was rather boring. The surrounding houses were lit and this gave the city a pleasant look. There weren't a lot of people outside, there were mostly drunks or homeless people. I walked over to a small house on the side of the street and rang doorbell.

„Good evening sir, how was your trip?" I can see you've arrived safely" a young woman greeted me with a smile on her face. She's most likely new here.

I looked at her from top to bottom and bit my lip. She looked at me and looked away. It's interesting how quickly someone can blush over such a small gesture.

„So what's your name beautiful?" I asked with a teasing voice.

„M—aria" she stuttered and couldn't look me in the eyes.

Hmm...dumb and naive just like every other girl.

„Tell me, are you afraid of death?" I asked with a smirk on my face.

This time she looked at me, but with a scared expression on her face.

„With this killer on the loose in our town everybody is scared of dying don't you think?'' she said with a nervous laugh.

„Of course, it would be a shame if something like that happened to you" I raised my eyebrow.

Her facial expression told me she has no idea what I'm talking about.

„Would you be so kind and don't ask me dumb questions next time? I'm really not interested" I said with a cold tone.

„ Y—es si—r" she stuttered.

She brought me to my mom. She was sitting by the fireplace reading a book. She looked peaceful...she always liked books as much as I did.

„Would you like some coffee or tea mi—" she said when i cut her off.

„I want you to get out" my order was clear and simple, but it looks like she didn't even hear me.

„I can also get you..."

I exhaled ... I'd like to kill her here and now. The only thing I hate most is when someone disrespects me and doesn't listen to my orders.

„Did you not hear me? Get the f**k out!" I shouted.

My mom started crying and trembling. Excellent everything was f****d because of this b***h. The two doctors immediately ran to my mom and started checking her, if she is okay.

Angry, I turned to leave when that b***h grabbed my arm.

„I didn't mean to, sorry" she said with a sad voice.

How I wish I could kill her in front of everyone.

„I never want to see you here again. I hope you understand" I said.

With these words, I left house angry and irritated and got in into my car.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At home Noah was waiting for me. I swear that if he pisses me off today I will kill him.

„Good evening sir" he said fixing his tie.

I sat down at my desk and poured myself another glass of whiskey.

„What was so important that you had to call me ten times? You know I hate being bothered" I looked out of the window.

„She came to the police station after all, sir" he said.

She? I smirked.

So the girl from the pancake shop had the balls to report me to the police huh? Maybe I was too generous to let her go that night. Maybe in the end my wish will come true and I will be able to see her beautiful face begging me not to kill her.

„What did she tell you Noah?" I asked curiously.

„Everything sir, from what you look like to what you did" he said.

Interesting...I told her not to do anything stupid...

„Here is all the information about her from where she lives to her family and school and also her personal photos'' Noah said and put a file on my desk.

„Thank you Noah, you can leave" I said.

I looked at the file Noah gave me ... Alexandria Smith huh? I looked at her photo ...there were photos from her childhood up until now ... her birthday is January 12 .... she lives with her mother her father left them ..... and she is a junior in high school .. ... no criminal records ... straight A's ...

What else should I expect a nerd ratted me out. My head hurt and I didn't know what to do. I can't kill her because I didn't find any record of her being a sinner and I can't kill her for being extremely stupid.

I exhaled and took a sip of my drink that was in my glass. What am I going to do with you Alexandria?

I smirked and left my study.

„Noah" I called for him.

„You called sir?" he said.

„Sign me in to the high school where our dear young lady is going" I said.

„As you wish sir" he said.

„I will see you soon pancake" I smiled.
