Mystery

E l e v e n

After reading all fourteen clues, I am in tears.

Tears of anger and grief falls down my cheeks.

How can Harry handle this all on his own?

Having the murderer slagging off his mother, even after they killed her?

"Harry!" I yell. The door instantly flings open to a nervous Harry. He is bitting his nails and presses his lips into a thin line.

He stands there, not saying a word. I run to him and throw my arms around his body.

I don't need to say anything, he knows I am comforting him about the clues.

"Lacey, I'm so hurt." Harry cries into my shirt. I begin crying too.

"I am so sorry, Harry."

"It's okay, Lacey."

"No, I am just so sorry." I say between tears.

"We will find the sick person, and they will put into jail. Then I can have peace." He whispers, so softly I can hardly hear him.

"I'm never going to leave you, Harry." I reassure him.

He nods and exhales deeply.

"We need to crack the code, for the next clue." Harry says.

He hands me the photo of me, I cringe at the sight. He notices and sighs.

"I don't know why, Lacey."

I shrug off his uninterested attitude, trying not to feel hurt.

Under the writing: The next clue is her, Harry, Lacey.

There is a nearly scribbled sentence.

I fell in love with the way you fall asleep: slowly then all once

-Fault in our stars reference- sorry I couldn't stop myself;)))-

"Sleeping," I pause, trying to understand. "The next clue is In your mothers old room."

"Yeah." Harry states simply.

"Do you want to come with me?" I ask.

"To my mothers old room?"

"Yeah."

"Lacey, it's dangerous." He warns.

"My parent are out tomorrow, please, Harry. You deserve to see your old house." I say. He sighs.

"Okay." He finally gives in. I smile.

"Meet me here at midday, tomorrow."

"See you then." He gives me one last hug then turns away.

"Wait, Harry!" I shout at him. He stops and turns around, a worried look plastered onto his face.

"Lacey?"

"Goodnight, Harry."

Harry smiles.

"Goodnight, Lacey."
