Thirty- One

Aryiana was going to get her abortion today. Sage and I were both going to go with her but I stayed behind for a few minutes while I went to go talk to my mother.

I wanted to tell her about Violets passing...I couldn't say the words so I wanted Sage to say it for me since she was the only one who could actually talk without crying.

She had only come back once since we found out Sarah was killed and this time she left her purse and phone.

She left early this morning and still it bothered me that she didn't say anything before. I went through my mothers purse and found little.

Her phone was unlocked and frowned when I saw an address. It was from a few days ago on her notes and I quickly pulled it up on Maps.

It was Ms. Evelyn's house.....

So now I thought of Zachary for some strange reason.

If Zachary bought a gun- maybe he killed Ms. Evelyn for my mom as some kind of debt.

Since Ian was dating Ms. Evelyn and my dad got her pregnant...

But why would he work with my mom or try to use it over her?

Was it to protect my secret with Ian?

Or something else?

Did he buy the gun in Ian's name to frame him?

No Zachary is too smart for that because the gun would have his fingerprints on it- unless he was setting Ian up for murder...to a point where he would want to murder?

But he never would...Ian is too gentle.

Or maybe Ian was after me this whole time....or Zach seemingly wanted it to come across that way.

He would allow Ian and I to have some type of affair- use it against him. Kill me and then frame Ian for all the murders to get him locked up.... That idea sounded so far fetched...but then made sense all at once.

But why would he do that? Why would he want to frame his own uncle for murder and most importantly- why did he want to kill me?

I knew something bad was going to happen soon and I quickly ran out the door.

"Aryiana. Can you drop me off somewhere first? Please something is going to happen..." I can't finish because she's already pulling out of the driveway.

I give her the directions and anxiously wait to arrive.

I needed Ian to get out of wherever he was. Get out of town.

Finally as we arrived, I told Aryiana to wait for a moment while I slowly open the car door.

"Is everything okay?" Sage asks me and I look at Aryiana. She needed honesty. She needed that stability. I could see it in her eyes.

"I don't know." I reach out and rub Ary's hand and she flinches. Her arms covered up with bandages.

"But I'll let you two know as soon as possible." I assure and nod at Sage.

She now needed to keep Aryiana distracted so she wouldn't shut down.

I run my finger along Aryianas' knuckle one more time before walking to Ian's front door.

"Ian." I call out.

"In the living room." He calls out.

How was I going to tell him that his own nephew was out to get him?

I turned the corner and stopped dead in my tracks.

"Well hello Marley."

But it's not Ian. It's Zach.

I go to say something and Zachary pretends to stretch, in his right hand reveals a gun.

"I perfected my uncles voice. Pretty nice job- don't ya think?" He chuckles and I exhale...slowly backing away.

Oh fuck.

"Ian is already out of town. But I'm still going to get him too. After I reveal to him about your tragic death. He'll come running back. But with all the evidence left at his house...and he'll be gone. How will that look?" Zachary asks sarcastically with a sly grin.

"Zachary what are you-" I try to control my steady voice but he stops me.

"Welcome to my game of Russian Roulette."
