3 QUESTIONING?

Mia was sitting next to Alex and the two police officers from earlier were sitting in front of her and Alex. "So let me ask." The officer paused. "Where were you guys when Lizzie was killed?" He asked. "When did you see her last?" The other officer asked. "Last time I saw her was after she went to bed and I went to go take a walk then I bumped into Alex and I don't know who killed her. I wish I did so I can tell you." Mia said while my voice started to crack. "Last time I saw her was with her boyfriend Ren. He was trying to hurt her and I stopped him and I kinda think Ren did it because he did seem like he was going to when I got there." Alex said looking at the officers. "Who's Ren?" Both of the officers asked.

"Ren Anderson is Lizzie's boyfriend." Mia said."Ex-boyfriend, she broke up with him." Alex said. "Oh okay." One of the officers said, raising an eyebrow. "May I have a phone call to call my parents to come pick me and Mia?" Alex asked. "Yeah officer Luke can you take Alex to make a phone call?" The officer asked. "Yeah come on Alex." The officer stands up. So does Alex, they both walk out of the room. "Can you tell me more about this Ren kid?" The officer asked. "Sure, Ren and Lizzie have only been dating for a month or less, at first he was nice and sweet but." Mia paused for a second. "Then he became over protective and wouldn't let Lizzie hang out with any of her friends, not even me.

Ren and Lizzie always stayed at his place and when she always came back to her dorm she had bruises on her." Mia said about crying. "So he was one of the abusive boyfriends?" The officer asked. "Yeah, I tried to break them up but I couldn't." She paused and cried a little. "I feel like a terrible friend for not doing anything to stop him." She cried even more. "You did your best, it's not your fault." He hands her a box of tissues. She grabs a tissue from the box and wipes her tears away. "We found something at the crime scene. Can you tell me who this is?" A guy walks in putting a couple pictures in front of me. "That jacket is a school's varsity jacket the football players get and that knife I never seen before." Mia said.

Mia was examining the photos as the best she could. "How long does this question last for I have school and I'm really tired." Mia said, yawning. Alex and the officer walk back in. "Mia my parents will be here soon." Alex said. "Kid have you seen this knife and jacket before?" The guy asked. Alex looks carefully at the pictures. "Jacket was the same one Ren was wearing when he was with Lizzie and me and it has the same little rip on the sleeve." Alex said, pointing at the photo with the jacket. "I've never seen that knife before." Alex sets the photos down. "Where does this boy Ren live at?" The officer asked. "He lives at 456 Brown Street." Mia said. The officer writes it down. "Thanks." Mia tried to smile.

"Can we go please, my parents are waiting for us." Alex asked. "Yes you may leave and thanks for you corruption kids." The officer said. "Your welcome officers." Mia said getting up. "Here is my number if you find anything else about Lizzie's killer." I said handing the officer my number. "I will." The officer took my number. Alex and Mia walk outside and Alex sees Zane and Rose. Rose was in the passenger side and Zane was in the driver's seat. Alex walks to the car and he opens the door for Mia and she gets in and so does he. He closed the door. "Mia are you okay?" Rose asked. "Yeah." Mia said, trying to smile. Zane drives away. "Is it okay if Mia stays with us for a little?" I asked. "Yes of course." Zane said.

Rose smiles. "Yes she is like family to us." Mia lays on my shoulder and looks up at me. "Alex?" She says in a quiet voice. "Yes Mia?" He looked down at her. "Promise you won't go after Lizzie's killer." She still was looking at me with a sad look in her eyes. "I promise." Alex said looking into her eyes and he smiled at her. "Good." She said. The rest of the car ride was silent and they got home and got out of the car. They go inside and Alex helps Mia to the guest room. Zane and Rose go to their room. Alex walks to his room and gets changed into a pair of basketball shorts and shirt. He hears a knock on the door so he walks to the door and opens it. "Mia you okay?" He looked at her.

She had tears running down her face and she was crying. "I-I-I can't sleep" She stuttered "Every time I close my eyes I see Lizzie dead." She cries even more. He pulled her into a hug. "Aww Mia." I felt her arms wrap around me. "I miss her." She keeps crying. "You can sleep here." Said letting go of her and I pick her up and I close my door and I lay her in my bed. "Alex?" She looks up at me. "Yes Mia?" He said covering her up. "I'm sorry." She said sniffling. "You don't need to be sorry Mia you didn't do anything wrong." He said kissing her forehead and then lays down next to her. She smiles a little at him. "Get some rest." He said facing her. "Okay." She smiles at him.

"Please don't leave me Alex." She said, laying on his chest. "Mia I will never leave you." He said putting his arms around her."Okay good night Alex." She said. "Good night Mia." Alex said closing my eyes. Alex and Mia fall asleep. He had a dream about Lizzie. He was sitting at the dinner table. "Alex?" Lizzie said. He looked up and saw Lizzie. "Lizzie?" He asked, he got up and looked at her. "He killed me?" Lizzie said covered in blood. "Who killed you?" Alex asked, looking worried. "Ren he killed me and he is after Mia next." She pauses and sniffles. "It hurts Alex." She started to cry even more. Alex pulled her close to him and hugged her. "Lizzie it's okay."

"Lizzie close your eyes." Alex whispered in a soft voice and he was still hugging her. "Okay." She said closing her eyes. "Tell me if you see the light." He said and he was still hugging her and he opened his eyes. "Yes I do." She said letting go of me. He lets go of her. "Tell Mia I love her and I will watch over her." She whispers in his ear. "Yes I will." Alex smiled at her. Lizzie kisses his cheek and walks into the light then she disappears. He felt the pain of how Lizzie died. Alex wakes up in pain. "Alex?" Mia said worried. Alex sits up covered in sweat. "Alex are you okay?" Mia asked, putting her arm on his shoulder. "Yeah just had a dream." Alex said. "Do you want to talk about it?" She asked. "Lizzie said she loves you and she will watch over you." He said, turning to face Mia.

"Seriously? Are you joking with me right now." Mia said looking at me with a serious look. "I swear, I will never lie to you." Alex was still looking at Mia. She hugs him. He hugs her back. "Mia, she also told me who killed her." Alex said. She pushes him away. "Who!?" She said getting mad."Ren is after you too." Alex said looking at Mia. "Why is he after me?" She asked. He shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know." "We need to tell the cops." Mia said. "I will call them tomorrow but we need to get some sleep." Alex said looking at her then he kissed her forehead then laid back down. "Okay." She smiles and lays down and goes back to sleep and so does he.
