Chapter 6

-AMELIA POV-

I paced around the room and my hands were shaking. Where was Jenny she said she would come soon? I kept pulling the ends of my hair and fumbled with my t-shirt when the door bell rung. Finally!

“Are you okay? Did someone hurt you?” she asked panicking.

“Jen calm down I called you to support me and not to panic more.” That made her hit her head and looked at me apologetically.

“Oh okay but don’t stop me from what I am about to do.” she said and I raised my brows at her but before I could stop her she took her phone and started calling the police. "Hello I am calling from the Wells residence. Yes late Mr. Wells’ house.” I winced at the word late but stopped my tears which were threatening to fall.

“Ma’am this is no prank it is from the same house where a murder happened two days back and I am his daughter’s friend. Mmhmh… she is here with me, actually we have an emergency can you please send someone here?"

She looked at me and cursed at whoever was on the other line. “They don’t believe me, they want to speak to you.” She handed me the phone and a lady spoke from the other side.

“Is this Amelia Wells?” she spoke as if least interested in what was going on. I get why Jenny was pissed.

“Yes. My friend is speaking the truth we need an officer here. It will be better if the person is the one handling the case.”

"Sure Miss., we will be there within ten minutes."

"Thank you" I hung up the line and looked at Jenny frustrated.

"What have you done Jenny? What are we going to tell them that I saw some guy staring into our house and I think he is involved in my parents death? I don't know........ I am not sure, it can even be my imagination.” I was literally screaming at her, I didn't know what was wrong with me.

“But you were fine just now, what happened suddenly?” she asked confused seeing my mood swings.

“Because I didn’t want them to think you were crazy. We don’t know the guy, what if he is innocent then we will be falsely blaming someone else.” I was at the point of breakdown and I think she noticed that because the next moment she was near me and rubbing my back.

"Shhh…sh don't worry okay I am there for you just relax" Jenny said trying to calm me. “Trust me, everything will be fine.”

After what seemed half an hour later the police came. The inspector looked young but very muscular. He had black hair and blue eyes just like Jenny’s and I think that made me feel comfortable around him. He was handsome but I was in no mood to ogle him.

"Hi my name is Jonathan Harper, I am in charge of the murder that has happened here. I am very sorry for your loss and we will be doing our best to give you justice. Please be comfortable enough and tell me what happened that you mentioned it as an emergency?” The inspector spoke.

His words were trustworthy enough for me to open up. I thought Jenny would speak but when I glanced at her she was in her own dreamland ogling the inspector so I told him everything that occurred and about my intuitions about the mystery guy. After elbowing her a few times she came out of her trance and helped me here and there. 

"Could you give us some description of the man so that we can look into him? Remember there is no pressure don’t force yourself to remember[B1]

so much just what comes into your mind. Is that okay with you?”

I nodded. I had no trouble because I will never forget how that guy looked. Hot but intimidatingly scary. "Sure I will give all details as far as I can remember." 

A sketch artist was called and I told him exactly how he looked. The man sketched his brown hair, long nose and other features almost accurately. “I think we should call him Mr. X since we don’t know him.” Jenny said eating chips and staring at the drawing. Jonathan chuckled but nodded and I also agreed. Mr. X would definitely suit his personality.

“Done.” The artist said and I looked at the face that came in my dreams just after our first meeting, he had done the sketch with 80% accuracy but that was enough.

“He looks vaguely familiar but I can't say where I have seen him but do not worry we will call u as soon as we get any details" Jonathan said.

We shook hands before he and his team left. He even offered security for safety reasons but I wanted to be alone. Somewhere deep inside me I wanted to face this man alone if he comes.

Jenny also left after making sure I had my dinner ... I slept thinking of all the things that happened today and held onto my pillow...

Knock knock knock...

I woke up from my sleep from the voice of the doorbell.

Who would come at this time? If it was Jenny then she was going to get from me I had just managed to nod off and didn’t she visit earlier!

I went to the door and opened it and what I saw kind of shocked me because I knew this would happen but not so soon. In front of me, I stared at the ocean blue eyes and dusty blonde hair which many girls would fall for. Why didn’t I bring the knife with me? Right because I thought this would be Jenny. Gathering all the courage I could muster I opened my mouth.

"Um… What are you doing here and who are you??" I asked Mr. X who just smirked at me with arms folded and imagine he had the audacity to lean against my door! Since he wasn’t answering I decided that I am going to close the door but sensing that he placed his foot on the side preventing the door from being closed. Oh no….
