" It all started with a lie " ( Editing )

chapter 1 : funeral

"It's all because of me! ", she shouted, utterly in pain, she wasn't able to dodge the force.

" I AM TO BLAME! ", she kept on screaming, trying to convince it was her fault.....or was it?

" Allison, shut up", The boy whispered.... "You are catching the attention of the crowd! "

"What should I do then? ", Allison told mildly and desperately, her eyes we're sore... Herind was empty, all she could hear was merlyn's distinct chuckles.

" I think you should relax, the cops are here as well... I don't think you should get yourself attention", the boy said. He was Allison's childhood friend, jake. He was always with her , but he left her in middle school , and shifted to a different city with his twin sister and parents. He was always nice to her , even uf tbey were apart , they always used to video chat and share stress about daily life.

"You okay honey ?" , a black haired girl with cute bangs asked , her face was soft with few freckles , she was reakky beautiful , she was jake's sister.

"Yes....thankyou hannah", allison replied. The funeral was almost done , merlyn's family was utterky disheartened , they were not able to cope their daughter's death. Allison did find some of her classmates , who were dear friends of merlyn , she didn't find alex , he was missing , she wanted to see him , but he was not there , almost as if he ran away , there was no trace of his for past few days , allison knew it , she was in it . Even if she shouted or remained silent , she knew the truth would be out soon and she would be dead.....she was somehiw guilty.

"Hey , i think you should go , the cops are here" , jake insisted. The police and the FBI had to come , they had to continue their investigation of the tragedy , whoever the killer was, he /she didn't leave any trace , the forensic was not able to get much clues , the police was searching for suspects , and it was simple that allison was one of them , even if she denied it. Seeing those police officers , it reminded of her father , her father was the ex-chief of the department , and honorable officer , who was killed in a accident back when she was young , the officers knew allison well , she was her father's angel.

One of the officers deputy martinez came near her , he started the conversation ,

"It is indeed a tragedy miss.Allison , she was your best friend , how are you doing ?"

"Well...i am trying my best to be fine", allison answered slowly.

"Hm....you very know the process , i have yo aks you some questions , even if we trust you , you can be the prime suspect"

"I see".

"I don't think i can ask you anything right now , but i would want your presence in the office tomorrow morning at 8:00 am"

"Hmm...", allsion nodded .

"See..miss. Allison , we know she is your friend , but it is onky you who knows everything about her , you have to help us catch the murderer --"

"Its okay Mr. Martinez , i totally understand , i will come later" , she smiled mildly.

"Very well then , take care !", the officer went away.

"You are the suspect ??", questioned jake , he heard everything , he was totally sure that allison was innocent , she always is .

"I-i think i know the story , i can't tell it to you now" , allison muttered.

"Why do you even want to tell us anything" , hannah asked.

"Because i want you guys to help me , i am confused , i am---"

"It's okay honey , lets go to Brownie's , and grab a coffee and talk about it okay !?! Lets chill out and after all we are seeing you in like 5 years !?!"
