Lake house
chapter 13
Kirsty’s (POV)
I tug on Ashton’s cold jacket that Phoebe has enveloped herself in a point to a small corner shop across the street. “They have to have vodka” she shrugs and walks across the road to the shop, I don’t move “Come on” she shouts turning around in the middle of the road. “We have to be sneaky ninja bitches” I say laughing, she joins in. She leans down and sticks her fingers in some mud then whipping two lines across both sides of her face, “ready ninja bitch?” She laughs “ew that’s disgusting” I say.
“Okay come on then” Phoebe turns around and begins to walk further into the road closer to the shop. I put one foot in front of the other but get blinded and walk backwards on the path by two bright lights heading are way. Is that a car? I don’t think so. I hear tyres screech and a scream as the car stops suddenly, I wasn’t sure what had happened I was confused and shocked. A lady jumped out her car “Did I hit her!? Where is she, young lady was that your friend did I hit her?!” This lady was screaming into my face and looking around. I looked around and couldn’t see Phoebe anywhere.
I panicked and ran into the shop to see if she had ran in there, I ran in a looked down all the small aisles “can I help you?” The man at the counter said, I didn’t answer I continued to run around the small shop reassuring myself Phoebe was in here “Can I help you?!” The man shouted a bit louder, “Erg fuck off!” I shout running back out the shop. I run out the shop and see the lady on the phone, I walk up to her “have you found her” she waves her hand at me and turns around and talks to the person on the other end of the line, “she was in the middle of the road, I think I’ve hit her, no I’m sure I’ve hit her but we can’t seem to find her body” the lady on the phone says.
My eyes water as I hear her say Phoebe had been hit and we can’t find her body it makes her sound like she is dead. I lean on the hood of the car with my head in my hands; I slowly look up at the front window of the car and see it is cracked with blood splattered over it. I stepped back slowly and began to cry; the lady looked at me and hung up her phone. She put one arm around me and pulled me into hug her, I was taller than her but it was nice to be comforted. “I’ve called the police, there on their way. Was she your friend?” She asks whipping the tears away from my face like she was my mother, “Yeah, my best friend” I mutter through my cries quietly. She tuts and leans her head on my shoulder “I’m so sorry, I’m a horrible person” she says I instantly feel bad it wasn’t this lady’s fault it was ours. “Don’t be stupid it was nowhere near your fault, I was distracting her and she was in the middle of the road.”
We waited around until a police car pulled up and two police men came out, one lady one man. They both walk up to us with notepads “Hello, Miss Jacob?” The man said, the lady nodded. “Can you just come over here with me and I’ll ask you some questions.” Miss Jacob and the man walked over near the police car as the lady gave me a sympathetic look as I was still blabbering away like a baby. “You alright?” She asks patting my arm; I don’t look her in the eyes “not really” I sniff. “Do you have any relation to Phoebe?” She asks “Yeah, er, I’m her friend” “Where you to out alone when she got hit?” “yeah, we were” she scribbles away on her note pad and looks back up at me “was she drunk by any chance?” “No, no. We were just going over there to get some food” I lie. She writes some more, “I’m Lilly by the way” “I’m Kirsty” I say, “How old is Phoebe?” “She turned 17 today” Lilly sighs “It’s always the young ones, I promise you Kirsty we will find Phoebe.”
4 more police men arrived since I talked to Lilly. They have closed off the road with the fancy yellow police tape, they haven’t found her yet. The found one of her white heals and, Ashton’s jacket all ripped and covered heavily in the blood. I was sitting at a table with a coffee opposite the crime scene, some police men would come up to me every now and then sometimes to ask more questions, comfort me or to give me a jacket. I looked a wreck my makeup was smudged down my face from me crying, I was still in shock and hadn’t stopped shaking. I had left my phone back at the house and didn’t want the police to go to the house or they would know we had been underage drinking.
A police man called Simon came up to me with her heel and Ashton’s jacket. “Are these hers do you know?” He asks me “The heel is but the jacket is a friend that she borrowed before we headed out.” “Alright, thanks” He walked away and started to talk to the other men about the evidence I guess. They put the things in a blue bag. It had been a couple of house since we left the party it’s 1:00am im surprised nobody has come out to look for us, just as I think that I hear a phone ring. It was Phoebe’s ring tone I recognise it, I stand up. Is she alright? Did they find her? But then I see a police man pick up the phone of the road and answer it.
Calum’s (POV)
Kirsty and Phoebe have been gone for ages, once we finished to game of truth and dare everyone told me to call Ky. She had left her Phone behind so I called Phoebe. It took her a while to answer but she soon picked up or well I thought it was her. “Hey, B! Where are you and Ky you’ve been gone for ages!” I say as everyone looks at me and singles for me top it on speaker so they can hear if they got the stuff. “Sorry this isn’t Phoebe, how have you got relation with this girl?” It wasn’t Phoebe, everyone looked worried when they hear the deep man’s voice. I swallowed slowly had they been caught by the police? “Erm, I’m her brother” “Alright, we have some bad news about your sister. She has been hit by a car and we aren’t able to find her body. It would be nice if you could come down to meet me, we are just in front of the old small corner shop, Cathy’s.” My heart broke into a million pieces everyone had gasped and had their hands over their mouths; my voice was trembling from where I was trying to hold in the tears.
“Oh my god… Yeah, I’ll, I’ll come down strait away. Is Kirsty there” I ask almost crying. “She is, she is fine just a bit shaken up.” I drop my phone I run out the house in the direction of where the shop is. I stop and lean against a wall and hit my fist against it, I begin to cry heavily, I knew I shouldn’t have let them go. I can’t lose her, not on our birthday, I can’t lose her. The worst part is they can’t find her body, why… I feel an arm pat my back I turn around to see Ashton there out of breath. He had obviously run to catch me up; he didn’t say anything but give me a sad look. “Come on” he said walking on, I followed slowly.
