Doubts

CHARLOTTE’S POV

After failing to tell the police that there was no need to press charges, I was forced to actually go to the station and tell them never to come to my house with that case unless I asked. I got weird and awkward looks but I didn’t mind much. Days and days are passing meaning the court date is nearing and it’s giving me terrible anxiety. It was the actual date that would determine whether Harry was going to die or not.

And it all depends on me.

It just does. If I don’t find Raven and that other murderer, there is no way for me to prove that Harry isn’t a murderer. Calls started pouring in from Frankie for the first three days after the attempted murder, then nothing. No more calls; no texts, emails, mail. Nothing. It’s as if he found the fact that I wasn’t answering proof that I was fine. Which obviously isn’t the case.

The guilt is eating at me. The guilt of my own personal faults is putting the ones I love in danger. If I were Celia, I don’t know what I’d do with myself. I’d stay but I’d worry for my own safety which she probably is. I miss Navarro, I really do. Although Harry couldn’t leave, I knew there was a place I could always find him that was most of the time, safe. Now, I have to see him in various rooms throughout a jail that has writings and scrapings in the metal saying ‘DEATH COMES SOON’ or ‘let the light redeem what you have been longing for’... whatever that means.

Or maybe it means allow the light to shine on what you want to come out of the dark. All that falls on Harry is darkness, nothing else. He’s plagued with bad luck of the darkness that he finds so enjoyable. The darkness is his poison and paradise, and maybe I am too. Guilt is all I have inside and it honestly blows. I walked into the camera-less room where Harry and I usually met. He wasn’t handcuffed this time and still smelled the same. I sat across from him and he threw a newspaper onto the table. I asked, “What’s what?”

“‘Local Woman Doesn’t Want Police Help’ … ‘more on page 5B’. You’re on the news and papers, babe.”

“It’s not that serious. I just didn’t want them to interfere with my personal investigation.”

“Who do you think it was?”

“It was definitely Raven, I saw her face. And kinda stabbed her. The other person, I’m not sure, but it’s a man for sure.”

Harry sat back and folded his hands together, “Raven.” I then went of to explain what had happened a few days ago and he just listened. No sly comments or unneeded input, just listened. “She must have thought Celia was you. Listen, no one else.” I was confused but he continued to talk, “You can’t tell anyone else about this. Only Celia and I. Trust no one, not even your brother.”

“I’m way ahead of you on that one. Frankie’s been off lately. First I try to talk with him when everything was progressing and he was always busy, then after the break in he calls for a few days and then never again.”

“You think he did it.”

Harry wasn’t asking if I had made that conclusion up in my mind. He was stating that I truly thought my brother was a murderer. “I have my doubts. If anything, just the break in. But he has no incentive, no motive to want to hurt me or anyone.”

Harry smirked a bit, “He doesn’t. But Raven does.”

****

After talking with Harry, I took in the consideration of Frankie being a mass murderer. Even if he did participate in the break in, he knows Raven. Raven has been involved with every murder meaning that Frankie has known her a while to allow himself to take such a risk. If what Harry and I think is true, Frankie is a definite suspect in all now five murders and break in. “Wow,” said Celia while I explained our theory. “You guys really think Frankie could kill someone?”

“Come on, Raven is a manipulator. All of Cheshire thinks so along with Harry. She told Frankie something, anything to get him to aid her in keeping Harry locked up. She told him something that could make him happy for a long time. I need to fly Nonna out here, she’s not safe in America.”

“No, keep her there. If Frankie really is a murderer and the one to break in with Raven that means he’s still here. She’s as safe as she can be there. Unless you tell her to go somewhere else.”

“Yes. Somewhere secluded. I’m sending her and a few family members to a different state. Now.” I went to the house phone and called but the phone went straight to, “This number has been disconnected,” and then I tried her cell phone and the same message replayed. “Frankie’s definitely a suspect. And he’s got Nonna.”

HARRY’S POV

They allowed me back to my room after Charlotte left. It completely baffled me how her brother, who she’d previously described as the best thing to ever happen to her, could do something so… disgusting, to say the least. I can see in her eyes that it pains her to even think to believe that her brother could kill now five people and almost her. I guess I could see in her eyes what I saw in Gemma’s the day I was arrested.

Pain; the type were moving makes it worse because you can feel everything you thought you had a tight grasp on just slowly slip away. The hard mattress reminded me of how she felt. She went from comfortable to uncomfortable in a matter of minutes, watching her baby brother be pulled away, to never return home like he’d promised. Making myself think of this broke my own heart. It hurt to know that I’d caused so much trouble to myself that I’d forgotten the bigger burden on my family, on Charlotte.

I’ve recently found myself attempting to push away that longing love and adoration I have for Charlotte. It would be nice to die loving someone, but it would be terrible to die having someone love you. Knowing the last thing you think is how that person must feel knowing the one they love is miles away being executed. That’s why I also hope Charlotte doesn’t love me as much as I see in her eyes and heart. I really hope I don’t die in a few days.

Notes

Guys, I'm still not back but I want to let you know that I haven't forgotten you and I know this chapter is short but I seriously don't want to lose you all. I'm on Spring Break and on the family computer so maybe I can sneak in a few chapters but just know that I love you all and thank you so so much for sticking with me knowing that I'd be gone for so long.

Actually, the whole summary is different. I made up a quote that may or may not go into the story and just the basic summary isn't even a summary, it's suspenseful. Again, I hope you like the new version as much as you liked the old.

Some will be minute but most will be obvious. Some conversations are edited so that Harry is more closed up. All in all, the story will be longer. There is a new introduction and just a bunch of things I wasn't comfortable with. A lot of editing was needed and the cover was terrible. And so, the edited first chapter is up along with a new introduction. I really hope you like it, darling x

@wonderful .
I'm excited to see how it'll be revised! Will the changes be minute or obvious?

@Hopeless Directioner

I will be editing and taking out and adding in parts. Honestly, Demented went waaay too fast in my opinion, and with the plagiarism and all, I found that I really want to rewrite it anyway. I will obviously be keeping this version up but I have already started the new version and the whole first chapter is different. I just think the story could have stretched at least to 35 chapters or more. Again, this WILL stay up, but the new version will be posted separately. Mind you, it will take at least a few months for me to do it since I have other stories, but I'm sick from school today so I'm going to continue. I was hoping everyone would like that it's being revised and bettered a bit, do you?
