"you had a gun yesterday, ...and you had said ' I warned her '...did you go to Brittany's house?"

"Yes I went to her house, Do you think I did it?"

I gulped down at his sudden serious expression and forward answer.

Do I even want to know if he was the murderer ?

The thought made my stomach churn

"I will get my bags" I hurried out and just avoided bumping into Clarissa...

Had she been right behind us all these while?

I stared at her for some time wondering if she had overheard our conversation but her face gave away nothing...

Presumely not...I guess

"You are going home with Hayden?"

"Yes...um catch up with you later" I replied with a little smile which she returned

Chapter THIRTY FIVE

I glanced from my table of assignments to the window, it was quite dark outside already, every little sound made me jumpy, the stalker was still out there, who knows might even be watching me right this instant.

I try not to think about it but just couldn't.

Brittany's death still disturbed me, I couldn't be sure Hayden actually murdered her

But he also didn't deny it when I had asked him about it back then in school.

I straightened to my feet and made my way out of the room.

Voices that belongs to Hayden and his brother were conversing in low tones as I headed downstairs .

I walked into view to see them, they sat near the fireplace so engaged in their discussion, they haven't noticed me yet .

"After he was shot, he was apparently saved...stayed hidden."

Who was shot and stayed hidden?

I shouldn't be eavesdropping but I also couldn't move away from my spot.

"Hence the doctors report, he was in coma for some months "
