💀 (Jace)
12. “I killed him.”
@sweetacidrain
Cass sat on the stairs and tried not to look at the body in the living room but she wasn’t sure what she was supposed to do. Was she supposed to call the police? Would that come back on Jace? She didn’t know so all she could do was sit on the stairs and wait for him to come through the door. Of course she’d called him when the banging on the door started and she’d put the kids up in Delilah’s room since she had the little cubby in her closet but Cass hadn’t expected this. She ran a shaky hand through her hair at the sound of a car pulling up followed by someone running up the stairs and pushing the front door open. As soon as their eyes met Cass looked away towards the living room. “I killed him.” There was no emotion in her voice as she motioned to the gun sitting on the step next to her. She’d perfectly positioned herself half way up the stairs so that no one would get to her children if someone else came. “Del and Levi are in her room. I got them up there before he came in... the back door is broken.” There was a pause as she took a breath. “I didn’t call anyone. I didn’t.... I didn’t know what I was supposed to do.”
