I could not believe my eyes. It was horrific. Very graphic. I felt numb inside and out. Leanne was dead. She has been my rock through all of this. She's like a sister to me. I do not know where to go from here. I'm only 20, and I've already experienced three deaths in my lifetime. What else will I have to go through before it all ends?
I didn't even realize Tyler was right behind me when I heard him gasp. The look in his eyes set me on edge, he has the same look just like Clark every time I see him. Cold and dark. Very dangerous.
Tyler ended up calling the cops. They got here faster than what I thought it would take them. The same detective from before showed up. The gorgeous cop, Maddox.
I saw the detective come in, giving me some kind of look. Even though just looking at him I seemed to forget about everything that has happened in the past week, he was that pretty. I know now is not the time to be thinking about boning the sexy cop but I have to find light of the situation or I will lose my fucking mind.
"Violet nice to see you again"
"You to-" I trailed off.
"Detective Maddox Garcia"
"Can I call you Maddox?"
"Sure"
"What am I gonna do now?" I asked.
"Maybe you need to get out of town for a while"
"I won't not by myself" I pleaded because this shit is scary, what if he came after me when I was out of 'town'. Hell to the fuck no. I've seen what happens in movies. The main chick is out by herself, hopeless and the killer comes and kills her because 1. She's by herself, 2. She's a blonde and 3. She doesn't know how to protect herself. So no I'm not going anywhere by myself.
"Then you need to be under protection" Maddox says.
"Where will I go?" I asked, feeling sick to my stomach.
"I'll protect you but you just have to trust me" He says, giving me a look that makes my stomach turn into knots. At this point, what other choice do I have.
"Fine"
I heard a gasp behind me, I turned to see who it was, It was Clark. I could tell he was gonna cry. His crying seemed a little genuine. A little.
"Violet is that-"
"Yeah it is" I said cutting him off.
"How could she be dead?" Clark rambled.
He seemed to do that a lot when he was nervous. I narrowed my eyes at him, because he didn't seem nervous.
"That is what we are trying to figure out" Maddox said.
"And who are you?" Clark asks, getting irritated.
"I am detective Garcia"
"Violet, what are you gonna do?" Clark asks
"I will go with detective Garcia for protection" I told him, getting annoyed. I felt very smothered by Clark. Almost like he was afraid for me to leave his sights. I will not tolerate that. I will put him in his place.
"Why? I can protect you" Clark insisted.
"I appreciate that Clark but please respect that it's not up to you to decide that."
"Sure Violet" Clark's face tightened, hands clenched as he walked off.
"This is all a mess"I said out of no where.
"I understand but right now we have to get you to safety" Maddox inquired.
I was walking out the door when he touched the small of my back, sending sparks all up my body. 'So not the right time to gush over the hot detective' I thought as I made my way to his car. If only I met him under different circumstances.
"Violet are you okay?" Maddox asked.
"My parents are dead. Now one of my best friends. How is a person supposed to go on after this?" I said, tears brimming. I've very emotional right now. Sue me.
"Don't think like that" He tried soothing me.
His house was big, really big. I got out of the car, walking behind him up to the door. A girl could get used to this.
"This is a nice house you have" I said.
"Thanks" Maddox blushed. Maddox really is a kind soul. He's very attractive and nice. His house is like the one you see in your dreams.
"So where will I sleep?" I asked, quietly.
"My room, I'll take the spare room" He told me, sweetly.
"Oh no you don't have to do that" I rushed to stop him.
"No Violet you will sleep in my room" he persisted.
"Okay thanks"
"How old are you? If you don't mind me asking?"
"25"
"Have you ever been married? Tell me if I'm being too personal, I sometimes can be."
Maddox have a little chuckle, making me smile. "No, do you have a boyfriend? Asking, nothing related to the job"
"No, I'm still in college or well I was. I'm slowly getting my memory back. Things are a little hazy mostly. Can I have a glass of water?"
"Oh yes, sorry pardon my welcoming skills" Maddox ran off to get me a glass of water. I took the water from him and drank it down so fast.
"I guess I was thirsty" I laughed. Maddox smiled.
"Let me show you to your room" He led me down the hall to left, his bedroom.
"Here you go, my room is down the hall. You have a bathroom in your room so you don't have to walk very far. Anyway, I'll leave you to it. Good night Violet"He was just to sweet and masculine. He really is a sore sight for the eyes. Handsome facial features. Dark hair with chocolate brown eyes.
I was getting ready for bed when my phone went off.
'Rose grow, Violets wilt, Leanne is dead, the clock is ticking'
Things just got real.
