It was just another rainy day in Derry.This town was nothing but a seemingly regular town full of secrets.This town was like haunted in way.Recently,Cat's murder had been the #1 headline in the last editions of Derry's newspaper.Hell,it was turning worldwide quickly as of recently,my cousins who live in Tennessee called my parents the other day talking about Cat getting killed.I was hanging out at The Barrens with Bill, Richie,Beverly,Mike & Ben.We all just sat around,tossing stones into the small pond in silence.That was until I spoke."What if the reasoning of Patrick going missing was because of this?"I asked them.They all looked at me."I mean,after you murder someone,it's obvious you wouldn't wanna get caught so,maybe he was afraid that the police would catch up to them & he decided to leave Derry."I continued."Well shit,Kayla.You figure his parents wouldn't of suspected him committing murder."Richie spoke.I stayed silent at that point before speaking again."You guys really think Patrick wouldn't murder someone?"I asked them.They all shook their heads.They were dead wrong."Well,he would be capable of something like this.You wanna know why?"I asked them.They all then began paying more attention to me."When Patrick was 5,his parents just had a baby boy. They named him Avery.Patrick was afraid his little brother would get more attention from his parents then him & he couldn't let that happen.One day,he went into his room while he was sleeping & smothered him to death,killing him.& When his parents found Avery dead,he just sat infront of the TV & continued watching cartoons.He didn't​ even have any emotions."I spoke.They all looked at me with shock on their faces."How do you know this?"Beverly asked."Because he told Henry & I about it...After he showed us his secret fridge..."I said."Secret fridge?"Richie asked.I nodded."It's at the junkyard.He has dead animals inside it."I replied.We then went silent for a few seconds before Beverly said something under her breathe."The junkyard..."She said as if she had just remembered something but made it seem like it was terrifying.I looked at her concerned."What's the matter,Bev?"I asked her.She then looked at me & sighed."One day,I was heading to the junkyard & I thought it was the guys acting goofy but,it was Henry & his friends.I quickly hid in a junked up car before they could catch me.They were being dumbasses & after Belch & Victor left,..."Beverly then went quiet again.I looked at her more carefully."What happened?"I asked her.She sighed."Patrick gave Henry a..."She then went quiet.I grew more enraged to know."What happened?!"I yelled as I was urged to know.Beverly looked at me in a state of shock but understood why I yelled."Patrick gave Henry a...handjob..."Beverly finally spoke.My face turned pale white once I heard that very sentence.Everybody else's faces had pure shock on them.My stomach began to turn & I felt sick to my stomach.Trust me, I already suspected those two had some shit going on but to hear it was finally confirmed,I couldn't help but get angry & upset.They all then looked at me as they could tell I looked like I wanted to murder someone.I couldn't help but sit down & cry.Richie then walked over to me & hugged me.Then it progressed to all of them comforting me.I was lucky to have good friends like them.Especially when I was a pregnant teen,in a abusive relationship & the death of our friend.I knew that even if I was older then them,they knew how to make me feel better, especially Richie.

             (Later that evening)

My parents & I were sitting at the dining table,eating dinner as pure silence filled the air.We all just stayed quiet as we chomped down our food.I still felt messed up from all that shit that was going on.I just wanted everything to slow down & go steady.Ofcourse,Life isn't fair though.As we all continued sitting at the dining table in silence,a knock was heard at our door.My parents & I looked at it puzzled, wondering who it could've possibly been.My mom then got up from the table & walked over to the door.She opened it & there stood Cat's parents."Richard & Angie,it's nice to see you both."My mother spoke.They both weakly smiled at her."Would you both like to come in? We were just finishing up eating dinner."My mother offered."Thank you for the offer,Tanya but,we actually came by to see if McKayla would like to come with us to hear Cat's autopsy report."Angie replied.I carefully listened as I then got up from the table & walked over to the door."I will."I spoke.My mother looked at me & quietly spoke to me."Are you sure you want to go?I don't think it'll be good on the baby..."She said in her calm, soothing voice."Mom,the baby will be fine...Ok?"I said.She then sighed as she then rubbed my shoulder."Ok."She spoke.Cat's parents then said goodbye to my mom as I followed them to their vehicle & rode in the backseat.

We finally got to the police station as we all sat outside the office of Detective Eriks.My skin crawled as I had a feeling something terrible probably happened before Cat was murdered.Those bastards won't get away with what they did to her, especially Henry.After about 10 minutes, Detective Eriks opened her office door & motioned for us to come in.We all got up from the chairs as we walked inside her office."Sorry for the wait,I was in a tense phone call but,now I'm over with that."Detective Eriks spoke as she shut her door back & walked over to her desk & sat back down in her chair."It's totally fine, Detective.I hope you don't mind but,we wanted McKayla to come with us...She just as much wants to know what happened to Cat as us."Cat's father spoke."Ofcourse,Mr.Daniels.I actually need to talk to her about something afterwards anyways."Detective Eriks spoke as she put on her glasses & opened a file."I warn you three though,what I'm about to tell you is pretty graphic..."Detective Eriks warned us before reviewing the report.We all nodded as we braced ourselves."Ok,we ran a toxicology report & thankfully,no alcohol was in her system but,we did pick up some traces of weed inside her."Detective Eriks spoke.Cat & her weed sticks, they were like her stress relievers.That was the only type of thing she did."Now,into the graphic part...We also ran some tests for any signs of sexual assault & unfortunately,we found some traces & signs of sexual assault."Detective Eriks spoke once more.Cat's mom then began to break down crying as Cat's father comforted his wife as he also tried to control the tears forming in his eyes.Once I heard that dreadful sentence,all I could do was just break down & cry.I didn't want to believe all of this stuff.What if Cat wasn't really dead?What if I wasn't really pregnant?What if all of this was just one bad dream?It wasn't,sadly."& The cause of death we concluded was internal bleeding along with forceful penetration to the organs.The corener also noticed that some of her organs had been pulled out after she was brutally stabbed."Detective Eriks said.Cat's parents got more emotional as Detective Eriks continued going over the autopsy.I couldn't handle it no more.I knew that bastard did it.I then started to feel like I was going to throw up as I rushed out the office & into the restroom, immediately rushing into a stall & throwing up in the toilet.I finally got under control of myself as I sat in the floor,breathing heavily.Detective Eriks then rushed in to check on me."McKayla?!Are you ok,sweetie?"She asked as she kneeled down infront of me.I continued to breathe heavily as I nodded my head."Listen,I only wanna talk to you for a few minutes about this.You could probably help us catch her killers."Detective Eriks spoke.How many times did I need to tell this woman that my ex & his goons did this to her?!Oh well,maybe this time I can get her to question one of them.

We were inside the interrogation room for about 30 minutes when I finally convinced her Henry & his friends probably did this to her.She then had no choice then to let me go & have Henry transported from the juvenile center to the jail for questioning.
