I decided to woke up at 6 am. I had an hour to myself.
I got dressed (idc what u wear).
'I kinda want to go up to the attic' I thought to
Myself. 'But, the rules say not to..'
'Whatever. The Heelshires aren't here so it
Doesn't really Matter.'

I climbed my way up the attic.
At first I promise myself not to touch anything
But, that promise was broken when I saw
A book with the cover saying
"𝙼𝚎𝚖𝚘𝚛𝚢 𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚎"
It had different photos of the Heelshire
Family
And baby pictures of Brahms.
'Adorable'
"They looked like such a
Happy family.." I whispered.
'THUMP'
What the hell? Was that Malcolm?
I made my way out of the
Attic and to my room to see my clothes
Everywhere.
'What the hell?' I thought
I cleaned everything up and noticed that
Some of my stuff was missing.
A few of my favorite rings and necklaces were
Gone.
"Oh come on! The mother fucker that did this
Mess stole my favorite ring."
I said.
"What's wrong?" I heard Malcolm
Voice.
(After explaining what happened)
"What kind of person or thing would go into
Someone room and trash it?" He asked
"My siblings" I said (if you have any)
He chuckled
"I've checked every nook and cranny
Of this very lovely, very weird and large house. All the
Windows are sealed tight. The house is clear. Okay"
he said trying to "reassure" me
That everything was okay.
"This would make one hell of a horror movie" I 𝚜𝚊𝚒𝚍

Me and Malcolm were playing a round of
Pool as a way for me to make up for all the times I rejected
Malcolm even, if it was only 2 times.
"You've played this before?" He asked chuckling
"Misspent youth" I said.
"Let me know when you're ready to play for
Money" I said laughing a bit.
"Oh, no, thanks" he said
"So, tell me more about Brahms?"
"I told you about all I know" he said
"You gonna work on your poker face, bud" I said
He laughed nervously.
"All right, what do you want to know?" He said
"What was he like..? The real Brahms?.." I asked
He sat down on a chair.
"You need to know there's two types of talk
In town. There's polite talk and pub talk, you know?
And the truth is somewhere in between."
He answered
"Okay, what was the polite talk?"
"Ah.. That he was a lovely lad and it's a tragedy that
He was taken at such a young age."
He said.
"And the pub talk?"
"And you know, that he wasn't such a lovely
Lad. Yeah, that he was downright strange." He said
"What's the truth" I said sitting down next to him.
"One night, I came out here for a
Delivery. I didn't know it at the time, but it was
Brahms birthday or would have been. And Mrs. Heelshire,
She was in the sitting room opening presents
With the doll. And Mr. Heelshire...
He was in here. Off his pickle. Drunk and mumbling to
himself... tha-that he couldn't do it anymore.
I told him I'd come back.. B-but he "no, no, come on have a
Drink with an old man" so I did. Well, we get a couple
Of drinks in. We're chatting about the weather and so on and
Finally... I get the courage to ask that exact question
"What was Brahms, the real Brahms, like?"
God, he just looks at me with this heartbroken look.
It made me sorry I even asked, And he said one word.
"Odd" he says. Odd. And that was it. Which I suppose is all the
Answer we'll ever get."

"My shot. Are you sure you're going to be okay here
On your own?" He said walking over to the pool table.
"Yes" I said

"Hey r/n" I said over the phone
"Hey y/n..." She said
"What's wrong?" I asked
"Well, cole came by the house.. Sarah
said he just kept pounding and
Pounding on the door. Cole/Connie told her some story about
Wanting to write you a letter
Apologizing for everything." She told me
"Did she give cold/Connie the address....?" I asked
"Look y/n! He didn't know how else
To get rid of him! She's 10 Years old!"
She said in a anger tone while trying to guilt trip
Me.
"But, it doesn't really matter now! Cole/Connie has
The address and there's nothing else we can
do! So just deal with it!"

"I always hated Sarah. Fuck you" I said hanging up

Sorry I didn't update yesterday. I decided to make this chapter longer
As an apology :) ALSO, I decided to add Connie (🥩 not actually lol) Because
There might be people from the LGBTQ+ that doesn't feel comfortable with having cole.
Connie is basically cole but, just opposite gender.
