"Don't. Move."
Bradley and I slowly turn around. I'm too scared to cry. I can see Bradley trying to put on a brave face, but I'm sure he's pretty fucking scared on the inside. I try to scan through all the CSI shows in my brain, and try to figure out what to do. "Um, who are you?"
The person laughs. "Doesn't matter," the voice says. It's a light, girly voice. "I know who you are, though."
Great, I think. Someone must have heard the gunshot, just gotta keep talking. "How do you know me?"
"Well, let me be more specific. I know your brother. I did a little research to find out who you were. I actually know a lot of people in your family. Blake, you....Ben..."
I wince at my cousin's name. "How do you know Ben?"
"He was my best friend. We went to school together, we did everything together. I thought I knew him so well. But aparently not as well as you did." She walks closer to me, and i notice more details about her. She's dressed in simple skinny jeans and a black shirt, and has reddish brown hair. I can't see her facial features because it's so dark. "He talked about you so much," she continued. "I always listened, but, needless to say, I got sick of hearing about you. I loved him so much..." She trailed off, seeming to talk to herself, but then her voice got louder again. "And he loved me too," she said, almost defensively. "He didn't love me the same way I loved him though. He loved me like a sister; I loved him as...more. So I told him about this, but that was when he had already started to drift off. Weeks later, he killed himself. And that's why I'm here. Because you," she said, pointing at me, "took him from me. You drove him to killing himself."

Alex put down the game controller. "Guys, I don't think Bridget running away was such a good idea."
Jack rolled his eyes. "God damn it, Alex, for the last time, CALL HER if you're so fucking nervous. I'm telling you, she can take care of herself. But if you don't believe she can, then go ahead, call her."
Alex hesitated. "So if I call her, she'll think I don't trust her?"
Rian shrugged, "Give it a couple of days, so you don't seem like you don't trust her. If you seem so worried, she'll probably feel like you're her dad or something, and she probably won't be as open to you. I don't know." Rian turned back to the game. "Do what you want."
Alex picked up his phone, but shook his head. "She's fine. She's strong." Alex unpaused the game and continued to play.
