Bill's true Love

BILL’S TRUE LOVE

“Caroline, open the door,” Caleb’s voice boomed in Care’s ears. She’s still feeling so sleepy. She slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them. For a second, she’s feeling like a happy girl with zero problems. Then, after a second, everything that happened hit her mind and make her wide awake.

“Iam coming,” she rushed to open the door. Caleb never disturbs her in the morning. But today when she saw his pale face.

“Don’t tell me we are going to jail,” she murmured.

“No. But this relief won’t last long, I think. You should come and see the news.” He grabbed her to the hall where Chloe and Charlotte already got ready for school, sitting and watching the television anxiously.

“A few weeks ago, a girl died in a fire accident on Roshord high. The investigation is still not over. Before it gets solved, a girl went missing. Her name is Becca Sparks. A high school girl went missing on her homecoming day. The school is under investigation by detectives. Two cases happened within a week. Till now, the detectives found the fire accident happened on purpose and there’s the bloodstain on an 11th-grade classroom. Soon, the blood will be tested and the result will be revealed. For now, it’s sure someone’s got murdered in Roshord school. The school should be closed but because of semester exams, it will be conducted with further protection.”

The news reporter gave the mike to a lady whose eyes were dried from tears.

“My daughter won’t go somewhere without telling me. Even her friends don’t know about that. I want Becca back. I don’t care about who’s blood it is. I want my daughter back without a single scratch on her. Iam telling this to all of you, find her as soon as you can. Why Can’t you find a girl? Are your detectives not enough talented? I want my daughter back no matter back.”

She screamed at the reporter. The shocked reporter trying to get the mike back.

“That’s it. I can’t watch it,” Charlotte took the remote and threw it right on the Television screen. It cracked in the middle.

“Please don’t overreact, Charlotte. We all caught in the same situation,” Caleb snapped.

“Who’s overreacting? Iam the one who did it. It’s for our self-defence but who’s going to understand it. There’s no proof. We did everything to clear the blood, but I don’t know how they found it. Soon, they will find the phone and my life will be over. But one thing Iam so sure, if something happens, I will surely escape this town once and for all.” Charlotte shouted anxiously, walked out of the house slamming the door shut.

“You should go easy on her, Caleb. She’s already depressed than us,” Caroline advised.

“What about us? She doesn’t need to see her as a murderer alone. We are all involved in this without the motive of the killing. Becca had the wrong motive of killing you and she dies, leaving us in million broken pieces. Iam going to school,” Caleb calmly left without showing any emotions.

Soon, Care reached the caffeine still with the bandage. When she entered, Bill saw her. He looked up and down at her. He got shocked when his eyes noticed her arms. “What’s happened to your arms? Why did you leave the party without telling anyone? Not even clary?” Did he fill her with many questions? All she can do is tell some believable lie.

“I got out after our fight. I walked in an absent mind involved in an accident. But nothing to worry it’s just a small injury.” Her lie feels like venom, but what else can she do? Hurt flashed in Bill’s eyes.

“It’s all because of me. If I didn’t fight with you, you wouldn’t have got this injury. Iam so...”

“You don’t need to be sorry. Iam perfectly alright. Iam glad you are talking with me. I felt like I lost a true friend. No one’s been a close friend with me than you,” she poured her feelings to him.

“Iam not the type, Care. I will always be there for me. Yesterday I got mad because of the way you talk about Daniel. I will always love you and I won’t give up on you, no matter what. All these days I can’t able to show my real feelings, now Iam telling you frankly. I love you, Caroline,”

“Bill...” Care is out of words. This is her first proposal. She doesn’t know one day she will be truly loved by someone. But she always has seen him as a friend.

“You don’t need to tell anything. You have more time to think about this,” Bill assured her with a hug. She hugged back, being struck by many lies and secrets.

“I want to ask you one thing. Tell me you won’t hate me in any situation,” She asked, thinking of getting caught one day because of the murder.

“Why are you asking?”

“Just tell me,”

“I won’t. Never.” He whispered in her ears, still hugging her. When their conversation was over, Bill went back to his work. Care is about to keep her handbag in the chair and get back to work. But something strikes her mind. She carried her diary to the school. She rummaged the bag to see whether it’s safe but it’s nowhere to be found.

“Oh god, you got to be kidding me,” she muttered and searched her bag again. Still, there’s no sign of her diary except a tiny piece of paper with something written on it.

“Searching for the Diary. How can you find it when you four killed and buried a girl? Gotcha. I got you. Your diary is more like a novel. Many things to see and read which is not even known to your family. It’s interesting right.

‘What the hell?’ Care panicked, knowing that someone stole it and now blackmailing her. The only problem is Becca, who can do this more than her. She crushed the paper to notice another paper in her bag.

What are you thinking? You can’t escape from my sight. If you want the diary, come and meet me at the abandoned house no.13 near the graveyard at 9.00pm. You are living in Roshord town for more than 20 years. So come and find me. Now, you can enjoy the rest of the day thinking about me.
