chapter 3

I laid in bed later that day, mentally and physically exhausted, my mom and sister had come in earlier to comfort me.

I remembered my phone, and the text she sent me, a huge wave of guilt hovered around me as i remembered how I cursed at mara as she called.

I took a deep breathe and went out of the house, I entered my car and drove mara's house.

I got there in 15 minutes, the surrounding was eeiry, I knocked on the door, I heard footsteps, and then the door opened, mara's mom stood there, her eyes puffed and red mascara ran down her cheeks.

"Hey Keira" she said dully I wrapped my arms around her, she begun sniffing again, I didn't want to imagine how she felt, I mean she lost her husband in a car accident now her daughter.

"Can I come in?" I asked

"Yea" she said with a forced smile, the entire was smelt of alcohol, cigarettes and s*x, drugs scattered on top of the kitchen counter, the same counter mara was twerking on.

"This must be hard for you Mrs Zane" I said.

She sighed deeply, she looked as though she had no tear left to cry.

"Can I go to her room?" I asked

"Sure, the detectives had already taken their evidence" she said

I gave her one last hug and walked through the hallway, finally reaching mara's door, I took a deep breathe and opened it, I was immediately welcomed by mara's sweet cologne, gym sweat and the memories we shared here

I closed the door behind

This must be where the murder had taken place, blood was splattered across the sheets, pieces of the the rag clothes she wore we're on the bed, I didn't see the main outfit.

Maybe the detectives had it, I searched for her phone too, but didn't see it.

I sat on the couch in her room trying to remember her beautiful face, I spotted mara's camera hanging in her open wardrobe with a clothes slightly covering it.

It was the same camera she uses to record videos for her YouTube channel.

I took it and scanned through it, I could recognize every video in it except two, one of the videos was taken yesterday by 4am, and the other was 4 days ago.

"Strange!" I thought

I laid the camera in my bag and left the room, I wished her mom goodbye and promised to visit from time to time.

I drove home and saw the cops at my door.

Questioning my parents.

"She's here" one of the female cops here.

"Miss Keira?" The elderly detective said.

"Yea?" I replied

"We would like to ask you some questions" he said

"Sure" I replied and mom led them in.

We all sat in the living room, adjacent to each other

The detective then asked

"Who is mara Zane to you?".
