It can't be. This is all not true. It's a lie. But, why? Why would he lie to me? Kenapa aku?! Kenapa dia acted normal macam takde apa yang salah? Dia nak bunuh aku ke? Tapi, kalau dia nak bunuh aku, kenapa dia tak bunuh terus? Fuck it. Where the hell is my phone?! I need to talk to Beth.
So I start dialling. Ugh. Voice mail. "Beth, I need to talk to you now. Where the hell are you guys?!" Aku matikan lepastu terus campak atas kerusi. I lock all the doors and windows, close the curtains and stand still. What should I do now?
I try calling Nate. "Hello?" Lega gila dengar suara Nate.
"Where the fuck are you guys?!!" I yelled.
"Calm down. We're at Logan's. He said he would've invited you but you looked damn ass tired."
Fuck. The chills run up my spine. My legs are barely holding me up.
"Get. The. Fuck. Out of there." I can't see but I'm positively sure that my face is dead pale.
"What? Why? We're having dinner. Shit! Beth!" and of course... the line ended. Oh my dear god! What am I supposed to do?! What the hell am I supposed to do?! I don't even know where Logan lived. How am I going to do this.
Okay. Bertenang. Tarik nafas dalam dalam. Aku masuk bilik Beth trying to search for things. Luckily, aku jumpa phone dia. Thank god, Beth is one careless motherf. I searched through her text. An address. This must be it.
Aku dah tak fikir apa-apa aku terus amek kunci kereta and drive like an asshole. Fuck. Fuck Logan. Fuck Ted Evans. Fuck me. Fuck everything!
Well, this does not make sense. I thought I'm going to tempat2 terpencil tersorok celah-celah semak. But, this is a crowded street full off people. Then I park and bolt up to the apartment. Macam nak pecah pintu apartment tu aku kerjakan. Several knocks after that, baru ada orang bukak pintu.
There he is. My prince charming. Oh, how could a man this perfect be a murderer? All the sweet talks. It came back to me. He's not a murderer. He doesn't kill people. He wouldn't.
"Logan?"
"Raisya." The way he calls my name. I almost forgot why I'm here. Wait, why I'm here? Oh, yes.
"Where the fuck is my friends?!" My voice is all over the hallway.
"They're gone."
"What do you mean they're gone?!" Aku tolak dia masuk. Aku cari kelibat Nate ngan Beth. But they were nowhere to be found.
"They've gone back. We had dinner. And they went back. You missed the party." Ish mamat ni. Dia cakap saje je. Macam tak salah langsung. I idly wondered how many people did he killed. And that brings back the chill up my spine.
"I heard Nate was calling for Beth. What happened?"
"Nate knocked down the wine and it spilled over Beth. He was just trying to help."
Aku diam. This is not right. We hold a long silence. I stare into his eyes searching for clues. I feel like my heart is beating like a drum.
"Why are you so worried? What did you think it was? Who do you think I am, Raisya? Tell me. What do you know?"
