21I didn't want to involve the police but telling Jade was almost the same as telling the student union because I was ready to go all out and "get justice". I told her not to though. I was thinking about what to do when a call came through. I swiped without checking it and put it on my right ear."Hello?""Hey Eve, I haven't seen or heard from you lately so...", I definitely didn't expect him to call me. "Would you like to go out with me tonight?""Yes!!", That came out way too fast and I cleared my throat. "I meant yeah sure, I'm free tonight"

23Now we were sure Ari was the same Arianne River told me about; there was no way in hell we could be mistaking now, I saw her myself with him at the store the other day so there was absolutely no way I was missing this one. Now all I needed to do was get her history with River and find out if he was Gerald's murderer. The police weren't doing anything at all like they claimed, they said they were investigating but they hadn't come up with anything in a while. They knew he was strangled so why not perform the fucking autopsy, collect some DNA and run a DNA test or some of that shit like they do in the movies. They took our statements and it's been three weeks already, how long would it take the whole force to find out who killed a college student whose body was found on a lake? I wasn't surprised though, after all, he was just a good old college boy, he wasn't an influential person or anything and that was why they were

25"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God", Arianne whispered to herself. "What the fuck have I done? I'm a fucking murderer, just like him", she cried as he knees met the floor painfully, the gun slipping off her hand and hitting the floor with a hard thud."Aria–""No, I'm a murderer, I'm a-a m-murderer. I k-killed him""In self defense", I raised a brow at her and her head snapped up to me immediately. I nodded, conveying my point and she thought about it for a while before her eyes turned to Grey."I don't even know what the fuck is going on", Grey raised his hands.I know, it was a lie but River deserved it, he deserved to die after everything he put everybody through and him killing Gerald. I knew it wasn't right of me to try and cover it up or even suggest it but if you were in my shoes, you would've done the same. I understood why she did what she did and she deserved happiness. S

27"Why did you agree to a relationship with River?" She asked me."He was nice and attentive then. And what does that have to do with anything?""Tell me about the relationship between you and Arianne Willows.""We're friends and her boyfriend is my best friend. I don't get why you're asking all these weird q–""Is that why you're covering up for her?""I am not covering up for her. River was a bad person who threatened and blackmailed people, who also killed his own step brother! He deserved what he got!" I agree, I let my emotions get the better of me there but I didn't give a fuck. I know it was wrong of me to lash out in the courtroom like that but the prosecutor kept throwing dumb questions at me and I couldn't help it. "How are you so sure he killed his stepbrother?" She asked coyly, giving me a side look."I saw River punchi

29Thankfully, there was no cause for alarm in this case. Jade's water broke and she went into labor about three to five minutes later. According to the explanation the nurse/midwife gave us, water breaking earlier than 32-37 weeks meant there was an infection or something was wrong somewhere or she was with more than one child. The many tests were carried out on her but they all came out negative; there was no infection and there was just one child in her womb. It just happened that her labor came really early.She'd been in the labor room for two
