Chapter 4: Fara

We turn around towards the window as we hear a BANG and Fara starts screaming. We run to the window and bang on it screaming. "Help!" I hear Fara screaming and I scream louder. Monica runs out of the room screaming for her brother. I see a cloaked man throwing Fara all over her room, stabbing her. A line of blood splatters on the window as I bang Monica's. I see Fara hit him with books, trophies and her pillows, trying to get away. The cloaked man throws Fara at her lamp, the only thing lighting her room. The room goes dark. Monica runs back in with Mikey. "W-what happened?" she asks. As I tell her to call the cops, Fara flies through her window and falls to the ground. A two story drop. She hits the concrete below, and we all hear it. Monica falls to the floor and sobs in a ball. Mikey dials the police, and I just stand there, speechless.

After the police arrive, Monica, Mikey and I are questioned at the station. Monica's parents, Donna and Richmond arrive immediately. Monica and Mikey hug them, Monica crying into her dad's shoulders. I notice Richmond staring at me, then he walks over and hugs me to. "I think you need this as much as Monica", he squeezes me tight. I let tears fall and I shudder uncontrollably. He hugs me tighter and tries to calm me down. When I sit down on the bench, all of them walk my way, Monica runs to hug me. "Let me be alone with her for a moment" Monica says shakily. They all nod and walk to Officer Joseph and talk about what happened, I assume. Monica looks at me with a sadness in her eyes so well-known I shudder again. I speak, "Maybe if I hadn't.... M-maybe if I..." I stutter and stop. "Maybe what?" Monica asks, still shakily. "If I hadn't come, Fara would still-" Monica cuts me off, "don't beat yourself up" she shakes her head and sobs a little more. Her parents walk back and Monica stands. "Have you called your aunt and uncle?" Donna asks. "No, I haven't got to that yey, I'm sorry" I reply. "It's okay, but you should call after what happened". I was about to reply, but Chandler and Christopher walk into the station. The officer asks them what they were doing here. Christopher walks on ahead and ignores while Chandler explains why their here. Chris walks right up to me and says "This wouldn't have happened if you stayed away from her, if you would've stayed away, Fare would be here right now!" he grabs a magazine from the stand next to me and slams it against the wall above my head and I don't even flinch. The officer at the desk moves so fast I couldn't even tell you. He jumps over the desk and tackles Chris to the ground. "Ow, what officer? I'm not the killer..." he huffs, "Rockelle is". He looks at me and lickes his bottom lip as the officer lifts him up, handcuffing him. "See you in hell princess" Chris says. At that, I get up and was about to lunge at Chris but Chandler grabs me. "Okay Rocky, let it go" he says. I stop and just look down, tears start falling down my face. I feel Chandler and Monica hug me tight. I sob a little, then I struggle for them to let me go. I run out of the building, down the street to the phone toll, Chandler and Monica right behind me.
