Chương 10: LIFELESS

BIANCA

I walked out of the investigation room, really sick and tired of Jason. I don't understand what he thinks of me. I just can't help but have my mind think about a lot of things. A lot of negative things.

I breathed as I got out of the investigation room and I made my hands go through my hair in frustration. I looked around the empty hallway wondering where I should go. l shouldn't be out here, we were strictly warned to not go out.

I sighed and decided to go back in when I heard a familiar voice.

"Bianca", Officer Carl called.

I tensed and slowly turned to look at him.

"Hey", I quietly muttered looking at him.

He got to me and took a moment to look at me.

"Are you okay?", He asked.

"Yeah sure I am just tired", I softly said and he gave me a small smile.

He looked at me for about 5 seconds before touching my forehead.

"I think you're coming down with something", He said worriedly as he took his hands off my forehead.

I took my hand to my forehead and felt my temperature, I was definitely coming down with something.

I looked ahead and saw Officer Matthew and hurriedly looked away.

I don't know how I was going to face him after the incident of my revealed secret and he hasn't made an effort to contact me either.

"Carl", he called and officer Carl hurriedly turned to look at him.

"Yea sup", Carl hurriedly said as Matthew got to him.

"The results came out", Matthew said.

"What's with it?", Carl asked nervously.

"The speed and distance of the bullet wasn't a little one", he said.

"It couldn't be Jason or any of them", Matthew said and I couldn't help but heave a relief.

"But the chief suspects something fishy and thinks they should all be placed on house arrest", Matthew said.

It didn't sound really bad. I needed to be locked somewhere to rethink.

"Jake?", Carl asked.

"Including him", Matthew answered and we heard the door open and all eyes went on the cause of motion. Jason came through the door and I hurriedly looked away.

"You are to be in charge of Jason and I'll take care of Bianca, Jake for Kelvin, and Leilani", Matthew said and I almost choked on myself.

Geez!! I guess I have to face officer Matthew every day.

"Alright then", Carl muttered.

"Bianca I'll take you home now", Matthew said looking at me and I nodded positively, I could face Matthew better than facing Jason.

Matthew walked ahead leading the way and I decided to follow.

"Urm... Please take her to a hospital", Carl said and I turned to look at him, my eyes taking in Jason's confused look real quick.

"Is anything wrong with her?", I heard Matthew ask.

"It's fine, I just feel tired that's all", I said and looked to Matthew who hesitated but nodded positively and walked ahead and I followed after.

JASON'S POV

I wanted to go after her but Carl pulled me back.

"You can't go anywhere, you're under house arrest", Carl said and I looked ahead just to find out they are out of sight.

"Why does Bianca have to go to the hospital?", I asked curiously and worriedly.

"She's got a fever", Carl simply said.

"Shit", I muttered underneath my breath.

"What's wrong?", Carl asked curiously.

"I kinda offended her", I breathed.

"We'd talk about that later, but for now let's leave here", he said.

"Please I have to talk to Bianca she's really mad at me", I pleaded.

"You can't see her and she can't see you, do you know what house arrest means?", Carl insisted and I heaved.

I'll probably just call her, I pray she picks up.

JAKE'S POV

What have I been up to??

Nothing.

Nothing precisely.

On my bed, on my reading table, out for a walk and that's it.

What am I doing right now??

Laying on my bed, staring at the ceiling, and thinking of nothing.

My door suddenly opened which got me to look away from the ceiling to the door and the least expected person showed up- Jasmine.

I looked away immediately she came in. I have never paid attention to her so it wouldn't happen now.

"You should have knocked at least", I muttered underneath my breath and I could hear her heave a deep sigh and an I'm sorry went after it.

"Jake", she softly called and I remained silent.

"I just saw the news, Shyla is dead", She said and I exasperated.

"She what?", I anxiously asked hurriedly sitting up.

"Just saw the news", She added.

"The police suspects something to be up so they decided to put you guys on house arrest till they could sort things out", She said and I was taken aback.

Lily died.

Simon died.

Shyla is dead.

Who is dying next???

I nodded positively at my sister and walked into the bathroom, just to ignore her.

JASON'S POV

I paced my living room with my phone to my ear. Bianca hasn't been picking my call and I am so worried.

I would have called Brie or her mum but she tossed my main phone away. The phone had every number I'd wanted.

Geez! Bianca.

Carl walked into the living room with a beer

"She still ain't picking?", He asked, tossing himself to the couch.

"Yeah", I muttered taking the phone off my ear frustrated.

"Can't you just take me to her house??", I asked.

"No I can't, I love you but I love my job the most", he muttered and I groaned inwardly.

"This is my break from work and everything", He groaned happily. If I was in a good mood I'd have laughed and joined him in his moment of freedom.

BIANCA'S POV

I sighed tossing my phone on my bed. I am not in the mood to talk to Jason or anyone. Officer Matthew is downstairs explaining things to my family. I had ignored them too.

I walked into the closet feeling so uneasy, I felt like jumping out of my skin if I could. I looked around the closet for my favorite dress shirt. I love dress shirts because I can hide myself in them.

"Where could it be?", I looked around real quick and I remembered I left it in Brie's.

"Geez", I muttered and I felt a gush of dizziness run through my body as I almost fell but I was quick to take a grip of myself. I'm getting sick.

I sniffed in and walked out of the closet and into my room.

I walked out of my room just to meet officer Matthew.

"Where are you going?", He asked curiously.

"I wanna get something from my sister's room", I said really not liking the fact that he's now asking me where I was headed. He nodded positively and gave way. I sighed and passed beside him.

"You look pale, are you okay?", He asked worriedly.

I nodded positively without looking at him and hurried to my sister's room.

I reached for her doorknob as my head spun and my eyes were starting to see two to three things. I couldn't figure out how to get the door open so I left the knob and placed my two hands on the door, my eyes tightly shut looking for support.

".... I'd love to meet you", I suddenly heard my sister's voice there was silence for a while and

"No, we can't, I'm serious", she said again. I figured she was making a call and I was blacking out.

"Brie", I called but realized I was the only one that could hear my voice.

"No, no, I can't come over nobody must find out about us, not even my sister ", She said and I almost choked. I forgot I was sick and was holding onto something for support, I stood up straight and reached for the doorknob. What's my sister hiding from me?

"I love you", She said as my eyes came to contact with her.

She hurriedly looked away from her laptop and to me.

"Bianca", she softly called and pulled the earpiece from her ears.

"Who were you talking to?", I asked curiously.

"Urm... myself I was just talking to myself....", She tried explaining as she hurriedly got off her bed.

"Brie you're lying to me", I said and it was like something suddenly shut my system off, I fell to the floor lifeless.
