Everything seems clearer, as though I had come out of a fog. The necklace, the house and mostly Cory’s statement all point to the fact that Daphne was murdered but who could have done it and for what reason! I was so pained…….
Why didn’t I think of this earlier! Why didn’t I try to re investigate the cause of her death! But no, all I did was to curse and blame her ……
Oh Daphne! I am really sorry, please forgive your stupid brother!
But what do you mean by starting all over from the beginning? Sasha who was beside me asked
I shifted my gaze slowly back to her …….
Are you trying to re investigate the case? She continued and I nodded slowly……
And how do you plan on doing that?
Simple! I will start by going to the state police station, Daphne case is barely up to three months so I believe I will get a lead from there. I explained and she nodded slowly
So when do you plan on going? She asked with a far away look …
Tomorrow morning. I answered and she frowned
how will that be possible! Tomorrow is a school day and ……. she tried to say but I cut in…
School can wait, I have to do this on time so that my mind can be at peace
Then I am coming with you. She offered but I shook my head
You don’t need to, I will take care of it myself ….
No Declan , Daphne is my friend and I also want to assist in finding out what really happened to her. She insisted……
I stared at her for a moment and then sighed
Fine! I agreed and she smiled lightly….
Glancing at my wristwatch, it was 19:00
Jeez! I never knew it was this late ….
I need to get going. I informed and she nodded
Let me see you off. She said as we walked out of her room to the sitting room…….

Getting to the sitting room, we met her mother still watching the television with a little girl beside her …..
Doesn’t she get tired! I thought within ….
I will be on my way ma. I informed and she turned sideways to face me
Oh dear! how was the research! Are you done with it? She asked with a smile but before I could answer, Sasha butted in
Yes ma. We are done with it!
I wasn’t talking to you. her mom retorted eyeing her coldly and then faced me ….
What can I offer you? She asked with a smile…
Nothing ma, I am okay. I declined the offer and she frowned
Or are you shy because It is your first time ….
Not at all ma. I assured and she smiled lightly
Okay dear! She said and then faced the little girl seated beside her
Kamara! Won’t you at least say hello to ….. she paused and shifted her gaze to me…
Declan. I completed and she nodded slowly
Hi Declan! the little girl greeted with a puzzled smile, Are you Sasha’s boyfriend? She asked and Sasha scoffed
Can’t you do without saying rubbish in a day! She retorted angrily and the girl rolled her eyes…..
Why are you getting all worked up, I just asked a question. She defended herself…..
Whatever! Sasha muttered and then faced me, let us go……
Good night! I bade at her family before following behind her ……..

I am sorry for the embarrassment. She apologised as she walked me down to my car……..
Embarrassment! how! What embarrassment! I asked in a rush and she furrowed her eyebrow
I thought the silly question my sister asked made you abashed. She said and I chuckled softly
C’mon! Why would I be! She just asked a normal question. I assured
She stared at me for a while and then bent her head shyly
Actually I am kind of curious about the question….
What question? I asked fixing my gaze intently on her …..
The same question my sister asked. She answered with her head still down ……
I chuckled lightly, do you want me to be your boyfriend? I asked and she raised her head up to look at me …..
She swallowed hard, what are you trying to say?
Fine! Let me put it this way, will you be my girlfriend? I asked picking my words and her eyes lit up
Are you for real Declan? She asked to be sure and I nodded
Yes ! Yes! I will be your girlfriend. She answered and I smiled widely …..
Thanks. I said in whispers and then kssed her deeply ….
breaking the kss, she mumbled something I could not understand…..
What did you say? I asked with an arched eyebrow and she chuckled
I said I need to tell Daphne about this, she would be so much excited. She said with a wide grin and I exclaimed softly….
hearing about Daphne always makes my heart churn up. I felt so bittered knowing I would never get to see my sister again, how I wish I could get to see her one last time but it was all just a futile thoughts…….
Are you alright? Sasha asked staring into my face and I nodded…
Good night! I bade and looked at the house one more time before getting into the car……
But what really happened to Daphne! Why was her necklace found in Sasha’s room !Was she murdered in her room, if yes who could have done it!…..
I hit my head trying to remember when last we threw a party here ….
Errm I think it was on a Friday, yes the 12-03. I can vividly remember, we just rounded up with exams and when Daphne told me she would be coming over to the party, I was so surprised… I mean Daphne was a book freak and hated parties most especially night parties……….
But did I even see her at the party? erm yes I did, that was when she scolded at me for humiliating Racheal in front of my friends……and that was the last I saw of her, her body was found in the “big water” underneath the bridge……….
And according to Cory, she killed herself because of a college lover who I never knew……..
I blinked my eyes to stop the tears but it was of no use as the tears rolled down freely……
With a bleeding heart, I started the car and drove off heading to my home………….

I waited patiently for Declan to drive off before heading back inside ….
I knew he was hurting but was just acting fine because of me ……
I exhaled deeply
Don’t worry Declan, I will stand by you always……
Pushing the door opened, I walked in to meet my mum’s curious face ……
So who exactly is he to you? She asked
I have told you already mom, he is her boyfriend! Kamara retorted and I glared at her ….
Is he your boyfriend? My mom probed on and I nodded slowly
I said it. Kamara butted in ……
Shut up! My mum barked at her and then faced me
Then why didn’t you let me know on time? She asked calmly and I bent my head shyly
he just asked me out this night. I said with a tiny voice……
She was quiet for a moment and then asked
Do you love him? She asked
Yes mom. I answered with my head still down and she sighed….
Just be careful baby. She advised and I raised my head to look at her
Really! I asked and she nodded
Of course, you are 18 and I believe you are old enough to have a first relationship…..
Oh mother! Thanks so much!
I moved closer to give her a side hug and then ran up the stairs to my room…..

Entering my room, I saw Daphne standing beside my bed
And where are you coming from? I asked with a frown…::
Chill Princess! I went over to see my mom and you wouldn’t believe it, my mom is now back on her feet. She said excitedly and I smiled…..
So did you both find out anything about this room? She asked and I shrugged
Not really, but I got to know that this house use to be a party house. I said and she gave me a confused look
Party house! She repeated and I nodded
Declan told me that the entire grade 12 students do party here because it was an old abandoned building. I explained and she exclaimed softly….::
So does that mean I got killed in one of those parties? She asked and I froze…..
dang it! Why didn’t I think of this! If it is ……….
The sound of my phone ringing disrupted my thoughts
I picked up my phone from the table and sat down on the bed …..
Checking the caller, it was an unsaved but familiar number
I received it
hello! Who is this? I asked and the person sighed
I can see you have deleted my number! a familiar voice queried
Jayden! I called in disbelief
Yes, it is me Jayden. he said softly and I scoffed ….
So what is it, what do you want? I asked coldly…
I want you back Sasha, I know I offended you and I am truly sorry
That Is not possible! I retorted in a huff ……
But why? he asked and I smirked
I have gotten someone else Jayden and believe me when I say he is more handsome and cooler than you…….
But Sasha, he tried to say but I cut him off
Don’t ever call my number again. I warned and ended the call.
good riddance to bad rubbish!
Who is that, is it the jerk? Daphne asked and I nodded
And what does he want? She asked with a frown
he said he wants me back but I bullsht him. I answered and she laughed
Good! he has no right to you, you now belong to my brother! She said and I smirked
Oh lest I forget! Declan asked me to be his girlfriend. I informed and she squealed excitedly…..:
Are you for real? She asked to be sure and I nodded…….
This is awesome! I give you both my blessings. She said teasingly and I laughed loudly……
Oh Daphne! I really can’t trade you for anything………
