I didn’t know that being dead would feel like this.
Feeling alive but just not being able to live like everyone else who isn’t dead.
Can you even feel something when you are dead?
Is the way I feel like called a feeling? Never mind, it’s just different. You watch what others are doing, which is pretty interesting, actually. That way, hopefully, I am going to find out who is responsible for my death.
I hope that my friends are going to find out soon too, and put that person in jail.
But how did I die, who killed me and what did I do that someone thought that killing me would be the best way? There is literally nothing I could think of, which can be a reason for a person to kill me. Thought violence is not a way to solve problems. Guess I was wrong.
Rocklyn, Chris, Jennifer and John are sitting in my room, looking around, probably looking for something that is going to lead them to the truth, I guess. “Here is nothing to be found, what if the police was right?”, asks Jennifer.
“So you think that she ran away?”, John asks.
“She wouldn’t do that. Maybe something happened outside?”, says Rocklyn with worry in her voice.
“I agree, and why would she even leave, doesn’t make any sense to me”,approves, her brother,Chris.
“You guys read too much, thriller and murder mysteries, it’s not like in the books”, Jennifer says with a raised voice filled with anger.
“Who said anything about books, just ’cause you read too much romance doesn’t mean that you overreact about romantic situations, right?”, shoots John back. “Okay enough, let’s focus, never mind”, she says.
Back at the sibling’s place, my friends are looking at the note they took over the last month.
“So Claire is missing since a month now, her shoes has been found in the forest and they think that she ran away and was sending a message with the shoe, that she is good and not coming back”, says Jennifer.
“That is not true, we know that right?”, asks John with calming voice but yet with hope in it.
“Of course, we are talking about Claire, the Claire Miller, she would never do such a thing”, answers Chris.
“The explanation, that she was sending a message with the shoe that she lost, please who is so stupid to believe that”, says Rocklyn with disbelief.
“The police knows what they are doing”, shouts Jennifer back.
“Yea, of course, darling, that’s why the police found out the truth in Lying Game, One of us is lying and Gggtm”, answers Rocklyn with a bit of sarcasm.
“Oh my days, are you for real, these are books not real life”.
“Oh sorry, that not everything can be like in your romance books”.
I wish I could shout and tell them to stop fighting.
“Guys, let’s stop fighting, if Claire were here she wouldn’t want you guys to fight, so please could you stop, wishers Chris tired.
