My Friend Is A Ghost

27. Tell me the truth

George's POV,

I was cursing my fate of  being helpless to save Davina, when I heard banging of my room's door.

"It's open." I shouted being confused.
I wonder who would bang my door mercilessly. Ugh!

The door opened revealing Snow and James. Snow appeared angry whereas James seemed worried. Both of them entered my room and stood infront of me without any words.

I suddenly remembered Davina. Maybe Lily got to know about Davina's condition a few hours ago I thought to myself. "Snow I don't-" I was cut down by Lily.

"Let's speak. By the way, there are many things to discuss today Mr. George but let Clara come first. I called her and she'll be here in half an hour." Lily said looking into my eyes. She called me ' Mr.George' and that made me feel left out. She neither called me George nor shouted at me seriously but today history was changed.

"Hey! Everyone forgot me. It's not fair." Davina shouted while entering my room. She seemed happy seeing Lily but was also weak and pale. I have seen her spirit pale for the first time. " By the way, how was your date?" She asked James and he remained silent. It looked like he had
no words to reply.

"What? Date?" I asked in shock. I was also happy somewhere.

"Oh hell yes Grapes! Nutterbutter took Snow for a date." Davina said winking at James. I felt very happy but it was destroyed in next second.

"Shut the non sense up Doll!" She yelled in anger. I saw Davina flinch. The scene played in front of my eyes is considered impossible a minute ago but now it's not. It was the first time in Lily's life she shouted at Davina. What's going on.

"What happened Snow? Did James told anything? Don't you like the date?" Davina asked stammering.

"Ugh! It was not a bloody date." Lily yelled again making me go dumbstruck. Davina didn't utter a word more but I know she has a lot of questions more.

The attention of me was diverted by the door bell. Hopefully it's Clara. I want to run out of this room and go to Clara but I stood there still. After few minutes, my room door was opened by Clara.

The smile plastered on her face was so warm for me. I left out the breath which I don't know I was holding.

Her smile vanished in seconds when she understood something is fishy. "What happened? Is everything ok?" She asked.

Only the silence of the room gave her answer.

"Someone tell me what's going on." She asked in a nervous tone, stammering a bit.

"I'm the one to ask what's going on and you are the one to answer Clara." Lily said plainly.

"I don't get you." Clara said wrinkling her face in confusion.

"Stephen." Lily said.

The word was enough for me to get my breath hitched. My chest turned heavy. My eyes were fixed on Lily who turned facing me.

"Stephen's murder, prime suspect, Murderer's bracelet." She continued in a calm tone but the tone was strict and dangerous.

"Why are you bringing it here, Snow?" Davina asked but Lily hushed her.

"Answer me Clara and George." Lily again asked.

"What non sense Lily? It's not important here." Clara protested.

"Sister please tell everything you know. Nothing is right around us and this topic is important." James said in a worried tone.

"Okay fine. Stephen's case is  complicated. Everyone know it's a suicide but Stephen's wife couldn't digest the fact. Police mentions every close ones of Mr. Stephen as primary suspect and about that bracelet, It may be a new bracelet brought by Stephen and that's why Mrs. Stephen doesn't know about that." Clara informed. This is the truth for the external busy world but only I and Clara knows the truth.

"But something is more to be revealed Clara." Lily said, raising her eyebrows.
"Stephan's case is not complicated but shown complicated. The murderer is not trained and so he left a lot of evidence like fingerprints, bracelet, footprints etc. but there is a girl who protects the murderer by hiding those evidence and so she is considered as prime suspect. No clear evidence is behind her so, no one could catch her." Lily completed her point of view, staring dangerously at Clara.

"What did you mean?" Clara asked, stammering hard. I can sense her emotions. Her state makes me weak. I'm the whole responsible for what all is happening now, this thought sends daggers directly to my heart.

"Stop your act Clara. I got to know everything. You are the primary suspect in Stephen's case. George is however involved here. He lost his bracelet in Stephen's house and you bought a new bracelet for him from Men's fashion textures. Anything else left?" Lily yelled, leaving all of us stunned.

"Are you mad Lily? I didn't bought any bracelet for George. I bought it for my friend for his birthday. He is in Greece now." Clara tried to defend her once again but Lily doesn't seemed  convinced.

"Then why are you considered as the primary suspect?" She asked.

"Sister, don't lie. We got to know many things." James said, supporting Lily.

"Ufff ! If the bracelet is the problem, then Clara just call your friend and clear Lily's doubt." Davina said in excitement. She wants to finish the fight but she doesn't know the story.

"Yeah. Call your Greece friend Clara." Said Lily. It was more like a challenge.

Sweat formed its way in Clara's forehead. She stood there without any idea. She regained herself and replied, "I'll make him talk to him tomorrow, he would be busy."

Lily clapped her hand sarcastically making Clara embarrassed. I could not see Clara in a helpless situation because of me. "You mean that your friend-" I cut Lily.

"Stop it Ms. Lily David. Don't cross your limits." I said.

"Oh sure Mr. George. Let me not cross my limits but I have the right to inform police the information I got, right?" She snapped back.

"Lily please understand us." I said calming down.

"Make me understand, Grapes." She said.

I looked down not knowing what to do.

"Enough is enough. Let's end it here." Clara interrupted.

"Nothing is going to end." Lily fought back.

"Shut up." I yelled losing my patience. "I'm the murderer." I yelled, making everyone widen their eyes. "I killed him." I said and it came more like a whisper. "Not only one, I killed two." I said, surrendering myself. Tears flow out of my eyes and made its way down to my cheek.
