Knowing the shadows

Chapter 6

Shay pov:
I woke up tired, Im too lazy to get up from my bed but I did anyway, oh we have a class together today, I got up did my business, packed my backpack left to get Sara and Aliyah, we were walking holding our coffees, we noticed it was so quite, I saw some girl crying and her friend hugging her,
what's going on, we stopped when we saw a big picture on the wall, I recognize her because I saw her at the party last night she was in the bathroom with Aliyah
her name is Hayley Williams and under her name its say "rest in piece",
what.. nooo way I turned to Aliyah she was in shock, I turned to Sara when I saw ace and his friends looking at the picture too, they didn't look surprised,

"please tell me this is a joke" Aliyah said still looking at the picture,

"who is she?" Sara asked,

"she was crying in the bathroom at the party last night and I found Aliyah there talking to her", was she murdered?, did somebody kill her? or maybe she committed  suicide i don't know ,

"what did she tell you?" I asked Aliyah, she looked at me then back at ace and his friends, I looked at them,

"come on lets go its not like we care about her" Ryan whispered to his friends looking around him scared and they left before I made an eye contact with ace, he broke the eye contact following his friends, they know...

Aliyah pov:
No way, I don't have the words to describe how I feel right now, I was with her last night, I don't even know if she was killed or commited suicide, she told me she was depressed, she didn't deserve this, I turned and saw ace and his friends, I know they did something to her, they know her, maybe they killed her, but if they did how and when, I saw Ryan, he was scared, I looked at him before he turned, he saw me looking at him, you are dead man Ryan,

"let's go to my dorm I'll tell you guys everything" I said looking at shay and Sara,

"we can't we have class right now" Sara said, I sighed,

"lets skip class" shay suggested , I smiled at her
"good idea" i said and we sprinted to my dorm.

"Okay first who did this?" I said dropping my bag on the floor

"I think I know who did it" shay said thinking,

"its Ryan" Sara said  " l still have the video"

"Good, don't delete it" shay said

"when we talked she told me she was depressed and tired and she knows ace and his friends and when I asked her about her arm she told me she fell",

"that's a lie" Sara said shaking her head ,

"yeah I thought that too she could be lying",

"did she have a  boyfriend or  friends ?" Shay asked me,

"yes she had a boyfriend but she never told me who",

"did she knew Ryan?"Sara asked me.

Flashback:
"I had a big crush on Ryan he knew that I had a crush on him but we never dated" Hayley said after she calmed down and stopped crying but her face was still red,

"did you date anyone from his friends?" I  Asked her,

"nope but I'm with my boyfriend now and I'm happy" she said looking at me smiling, bullshit, she's not happy,

"can you tell me more about them",

"I don't know what to tell but stay away from them some people think they are a gang or something",

"ace seems nice" I told her, I tried to make her tell me what they did

"he is pretending to be nice and don't believe everything they say...",

"why" I asked her,

"cuz they are fucking liars" she said getting mad, "all they do is care about themselves", I just stayed quite listening to her, I don't know what they did to her and she won't tell me.

End of flashback.

Shay pov;
We are sitting at the coffee shop, drinking our coffee and thinking about this whole situation, its so weird I get the chills everytime I remember that Aliyah was probably the last person with Hayley and we woke up the next morning she's gone, scary, sometimes I think she committed sucide but what Aliyah told me changed my mind and Ryans behavior , she knows them, why did she tell Aliyah  to stay away from them, now I wanna know, should I ask ace if he knew her?,
as I was thinking they entered the coffee shop, "why do we always see them here?" Sara asked looking at me,

"stay away from them"Aliyah said looking at them,
"don't look at them lets pretend we are talking" I told them and turned looking at sara and aliyah, ace and his friends were behind me, Sara started fake laughing "oh my god I remember that day we almost died" lmao what, I laughed, I looked at Aliyah she was going to add something but she stopped and looked above me, oh shit, I stood up quickly,
"what's up" I said to ace,

"hi can we join?" He asked me wtf, I turned to look at Aliyah she sighed, I didn't know what to do I just said "sure" and sat down, they sat around the table with us, oh my god, I looked at my friends they looked uncomfortable, I'm sorry, they sat with us and ace was beside me, I was very nervous, I didn't notice I was shaking my leg until I felt a hand on my thigh, I looked at the hand then at him he smiled at me, shit I just turned my head trying to ignore him.

Sara pov:
Spencer sat infront of me, oh god this is awkward, they're all sitting they look scary I looked at my friends shay sat there crossing her arms looking at the table, Aliyah was playing with her hands, I was sitting between them ace beside shay and hades beside Aliyah he's huge he had muscles,

"so how are you guys?" Ace asked us,
"we are good" I answered because i know shay and aliyah won't say anything , Spencer was looking at me the whole time, he was making me nervous now, shay turned to ace and ignored his friends " so.. do you know her?"shay asked ace,
"Who?"
"Hayley.." shay answers
me and Aliyah turned to her, she better shut up, why is she asking him they're fucking dangerous, ace looked surprised
"not really" he answered, liar,
he asked her the same question

"do you know her?", she smiled back at him "not really"
I turned to see Aliyah looking at Ryan, Ryan noticed that she was looking at him, oh my god we need to leave 

"actually we have a class right now" I said getting up,

"oh yes I forgot " shay said getting up with Aliyah and we left the coffee shop,

"thank you you are a life saver" Aliyah said walking next to me,
I smiled "I know.. I'm a genius" lol
"thank you" shay said and we walked together

Aliyah pov
When they sat at our table I could feel Ryan staring at me, I hate that guy I just kept playing with my hand, everytime I see them I remember Hayley
they did something to her, I want to know what they did to her, ace is pretending to be nice, why are they pretending to be nice and they sat at the table with us, they want something..
