Chapter 5

"I'm sorry for your loss Keira" Cole said sympathetically.

Y'all I do not need your sympathy, you making things way too hard for me.

"Yea, thanks, it's okay" I said trying to mask my emotions.

I suddenly remembered mara was a little bit too close to him at the party last week.

"Um Cole?" I called

"Yea?" He responded

"Um where we're you at the time of the murder, can you give me a recap?" I asked

"Oh yea you left early" Cole said

Of course I left early you dimwit, n*gga weren't you there?!

"Yea I did" I replied, Trying to hold back my sarcasm.

I noticed scratch marks on his neck.

"Um okay, after the game, terry went outside to smoke, he said inside was too cooped up.

Then around 12:30am everyone was drunk or sober, me and mara made out in her bedroom around 1pm before I left, by the time I left, there we're about 20 people in the house, I left mara upstairs to get dressed, I'm not sure if she came down or not, but in the morning, she was dead"

He said

"Oh okay thank you" I said

"It's okay, take it easy okay?" He said with a calm smile and left.

His story seems genuine I Guess, but since when did Terry care about the places to smoke or the people around?

Terry smoked everywhere!

I thought

I needed to look at the pictures from that day, hopefully they had posted something.

Even though it takes eternity I'll find my best friends killer.

I got home that day and took my shower, I was actually afraid and nervous to check the camera so I didn't.

I went to Instagram, I checked Joey's page first, thankfully he had posted pictures about the party.

The post had 4 slides.

The first slide was a picture of him and the boys, the second was me and him in silly faces

We took the picture in the car, the third picture was a random picture of the party, people dancing and all.

And the fourth was a video, I waited for it to load first off, it was a video of Joey smoking, along side some randoms, the video was one minute long and nothing looked sus at first until I replayed the video

Cole walked down the stairs leading to the bedroom.

This should be when they were done, I cringed at the thought of it.

The family grandpa clock was visible through out the video and the time read 1:25am, that means Cole was right, the video continued only that this time he didn't go home like claimed.

At the 45 second mark was a guy who I didn't recognize because of his all black gothic appearance.

He took the stairs but didn't go to mara's room, but the direction of the bathroom.

"Pass me a sh..." The video ended before I could comprehend any info.

"Who was that guy?"

I thought silently
