Unknown [Book 2 of sacrifice Series]
Finding Proof

"Trust me, darling. I am yours."

What the hell?

"I know. Always."

Who the hell is talking? Am I dreaming or something?

“Wake the hell up, Harrison!” Someone screamed suddenly, breaking me from my creepy dream.

"One more minute," I mumbled out to whoever hovering over me.

Well as much I loved to take a nap in my office I just can’t understand who wants to wake me up from my peaceful slumber...

“This is it! I’m pouring water on you or selling this couch with you.”

Well...that got my attention and I jumped from the couch to see Aaron was looking down at me and his face held heavily disappointment. There was redness around his eyes like he cried or something...but why? Was he high again?

“Now that I’m fully awake. Why did you wake me up at... 4 am in the morning? What the hell, dude!?” I asked rubbing my eyes while keeping an eye on the clock beside my couch.

As much I liked him as my friend and assistant but he had his own way of annoying the hell out of me and that...just made my blood boil.

"Why are you sleeping on a couch?" His eyes narrowed slightly. "And why didn’t you go to your house?"

Didn't I tell him why just yesterday? I was debating if I should just roll my eyes or smack him in the head. So as the good little friend I'm, I smacked him in the head.

"I told you the house is a mess and I'm not ready to go there yet. Remember something like that I told you yesterday?" I told him rolling my eyes.

“Er, it might've gone over my ears. But you’re getting angry. Your vein is about to pop. Is something wrong?” He frowned. I didn’t even realize I was holding a breath when he dropped the subject. I breathed deeply taking oxygen into my lungs and sat on the couch comfortably.

“Ugh...nothing. Why were you here again?"

Immediately his eyes hardened again making me grimace. High and angry mixed Aaron is never a good sign.

“Do you even care for your life? Your front door was wide open! If there was a bundle of thieves or worst that girl would have come to take her diary, what would you do? No! Don’t answer! You were obviously too passed out to care about!”

He did have a point there...I was wide awake last night reading the diary of the mystery girl. Not my word; it’s Aaron’s. But I guess I wanted to know more about her. I had people inside to know her back-story but as long as she’s not saying anything herself; nothing was coming clear.

“Are you even listening to me? I just said about last night and your expression is zero! What are you eating these days!?”

He was saying something...I must have zoned out.

“Um...sorry. Can you repeat that again?” I asked him again sheepishly.

“Last night after going home you wouldn’t believe what I saw! I saw the same warning writing neatly in my bathroom mirror! That’s why panicked okay! I thought she killed you and I’m next on her list. That’s how it works, doesn’t it?”

That surprised me. As I was reading the diary, it didn’t fit that she would do something like this...especially to Aaron. She seemed confused herself about the things happening with her.

Last night...

"Dear Diary,

Mom is picking me today for school. School is really giving me shits. Class, exams, sports and obviously Zach. Is he hiding something from me? Some guys were talking about his head, not into the game. Is he secretly taking drugs or having some affair? Oh lord! What am I thinking about my boyfriend? Really I’m stupid. But that's not the lest thing that I’m afraid of. I’m having continually dream of someone who looks exactly like me! I even joked with mom saying did I have a twin who she accidentally lost? She just had a grim expression and said I was stressing too much. That could be it or don’t forget our bathroom incident! Today I was in the bathroom looking in the mirror and I swear something moved into it. Call me sick but I was 100 percent sure! I even told Zach about it but he ignored me again. What is up with him who knows? Don’t know when summer vacation will start... We are going to our summer house which is literary in the woods. I'm sure as hell looking forward to it! Who knows what interesting things will happen!

I’m sorry but again I had to use the old pages. I wanted to laugh at my past self-reading about the rant of having a shitty school day. Maybe now I’m understanding what real life really is. The nurses here are too rude. They didn’t even let me see mom. They say I need help. Yes! I admit I need help but not this kind of help! I’m not MENTAL! I need help to get rid of...Zach. I know the whole world knows he is dead but I know he is with me every damn second! I know his cologne, his breath. He won’t go until his bidding. Just I wish anyone would believe me. First, they locked me up in jail then they locked me up in here. My life is already ruined. If I don’t do anything soon I don’t know if I can stop him. And I hate to be the weak one. He mocks me, he says I’m the reason he’s trapped. What’s that supposed mean I wonder? I loved him with everything I had, was this a punishment of that?

“Back to earth Harrison! What are you thinking about? Care to share?” I was thrown into the present by a loud yell. Oh shit! Aaron. He had a gun in his hand and I left an eyebrow.

“What is that for?" I pointed at the gun and he lowered the gun giving me a grin.

“I thought I’ll need it. I wanted to be ready for the kill, you know. The usual.” He shrugged and I nodded.

“I was just reading her diary and how her life had been before the hospital,” I said getting up from the couch. Damn! It made my ribs uncomfortably stiff.

“What?"

“You asked me what I was thinking about. I’m giving you answer you moron.” I replied putting on a shirt.

“Diary! Diary!Diary! Now I think it has been a mistake to give you that.” He practically yelled out.

“And why was that? What are you implying Aaron?” I asked as calm as I can get. Honestly, he was getting on my nerves. I do my job in my way. He had seen me do crazy things than reading some crazy's diary. Then why he’s acting out like I’ve sold my soul on E-Bay?

“You don’t see, do you? You are obsessing over that. Did she put a spell on that? I was foolish to think that someone would write before they were going to do a crime. Give me this shit, I need to burn it.”

Was he out of his mind! That was the only thing I had for as now. And he’s talking about destroying that! Was I protecting her? It seems odd but yes maybe I was protecting her.

“Say one word and you’ll be out of my office, now! Remember this is your boss talking. What would happen when I tell the precious Polices that I had the proof but my assistant burned it? Now, what would you like to say?”

I was getting beyond angry this time. There is a time when my limit is crossed. And Aaron just crossed the line.

“You...You would do that to me!? You are yelling at me because of some girl you don’t even know! Oh, dude mark it, you’re so going to be in trouble.”

Did I care? I didn’t think so...
