Just Because It Happened

Chapter Twelve: Why?

Chapter Twelve: Why?

Thomas Carter:

Can I have your number?

I stared at the screen for about a minute ago and still did not know what to reply. This is his last message last night, he replied to me about ten minutes after I replied. That's when I got mad and log out of my account because he replied so late.

I started to type my response when my heart suddenly beats fast because my phone rang. He was requesting a video call?! Damn! I immediately tapped the reject icon and type a reply.

Mara Antonette:

Don’t call me! I’m on my way to work!

I turned off the wifi and started to walk outside my apartment. Now, I’m not wondering why he’s approaching me because he was like this seven years ago. He did not change even a bit! How could a person didn’t change even years had passed?

When I get inside the office, no one is there already. I shrugged and continued to walk through my office table. I was about to start work when my phone rang. I was wondering who was calling me at this hour then I remembered Thomas who was asking for my phone number earlier. So I ended the call and turned it off. I will go to our batch reunion but I don't have a plan on flirting with my ex-boyfriend.

I remember when we were a couple, he was my last boyfriend on my college days. We dated for almost a year. He was a good boyfriend, he was handsome even though he has this bad boy aura, he was sweet and a thoughtful boyfriend. He didn’t cheat on me even once but the thing is, he always wants s*x and s*x and s*x! He was like that throughout our relationship. So I ended up breaking up with him because it really sucks! He is so perverted and obsessed with s*x. I wonder if he was like that until now.

An hour later and I started to wonder why they haven't here yet. I arched my brow and opened my phone. I will call Jojo because I think there’s something happened.

A message popped up on my screen.

Unknown:

Why did you turn off your phone?

I didn't reply to that message because I know it was HIM! I quickly added him to the blocklist before he calls me again. I dialed Jojo’s number and he quickly picked up.

“Where are you? Davids called you several times but you turned off your phone! What a rude woman!” Jojo said.

“What?” I don't understand.

“We’re here on 19th street, you should be here too. The case of the simple car accident is now getting bigger.”

I scratched my nose, “What do you mean?”

“The mechanic we invited yesterday for an interview, he was already dead.”

To my surprise, I stand up and put my bag on my shoulder. “What the f**k?”

“Hurry! We have to investigate it!”

I hurriedly came out of the office because of what he said. Damn, it was really not just a simple accident. It was getting complicated as we dig into it. If we will find another into this, maybe we will resolve this eventually. I was hoping that will go smoothly.

I came into the 19th Street and I already noticed the police cars. Mitchell waved at me as soon as he saw me.

“What took you so long?” he asked.

“I didn't know this happened.”

He shook his head and lead me to where the crime scene happened. I was shocked when he leads me through an old house. There are lots of yellow lanes and polices are everywhere. I saw the detective that was inspecting the area too.

When we enter the old house, I noticed the house was full of antique types of furniture and broken parts of cars. He guided me to a room and I saw Mr. Davids, Jojo and a police officer there. I covered my mouth with my hand when I saw the mechanic hanging on the ceiling of the room. s**t!

“We haven’t seen any trace of invasion inside of this room but we have not tried accessing on his phone,” the police officer said. “We’ll look into it and call you once we gathered some data.”

I saw how Mr. Davids's face looks unsatisfied with what the police officer said but he just nodded.

We all walked out of the old house being so disappointed because we know that this case may take so long to solve.

“I told you not to dig on it, don’t tell me I didn't warn you,” Jojo said.

“Here it goes again,” Mitchell rolled his eyes mimicking Jojo.

Jojo and Mitchell went inside Jojo’s car. I’m about to went there too but Mr. Davids stopped me, he tapped my shoulder so I looked back at him.

“Why?”

“What’s with the turning off of your phone?”

What?! Then I remembered someone’s calling me earlier. s**t! Is that him?

“You are the ones calling me?” I asked him a bit shocked at my tone.

“Why? I guess there’s another man contacting you with an unknown number, huh?”

My brows arched at what he said.

“Oh gosh, so what is it to you?”

Why is he acting so weird? Like it was my big mistake to turn off my phone. He should send me a message telling me that it was him, right? But he didn’t do that. What if it was a stalker or a killer?!

I ignored him and was about to continue to go inside Jojo’s car when he grabbed my arm. He dragged me inside his car!

“Oh my gosh!”

“We have to talk,” he seriously said.

“Talk about what?”

“Talk about us, of course.”

“What’s with us?!” I am being hysterical here but he was just being serious.

“Wear the seatbelt and we’ll talk while I’m driving. Don’t talk yet, they might hear us.”

I turned my head outside the window and I see Jojo and Mitchell gossiping from us. Damn these two!
