The car stopped in front of my house and I paid quickly and ran upstairs. The driver was pretty confused by my behaviour but he decided to mind his own business and left. I finally reached in front of my door and banged quickly.

The door opened and there he was standing, with a Grey T-shirt and black trousers "Antony!" I cried and ran to hug him tightly.

"There there" he closed the door behind me "You ok?"

"Hmm" I nodded and he picked me up and made me sit on the bed. "I saw something on the way back.

"Do you want some water?" He asked as I nodded as no "Ok, so now tell"

I told him everything from the beginning till I end before breaking into tears again "What will I do now?"

He was stunned for a moment and then looked at me "A dead body..?" I nodded as he wrapped the blanket around me and brought some water "Thank god you're fine" he said, holding my face.

"I'm scared. Why the hell was a dead body lying there?"

"Maybe feeling hot to sleep in his house" he joked.

"Why it seems that you're enjoying it?" I narrowed my eyes.

"Sorry sorry, just trying to lit up your mood" he nervously smiled and apologized.

"Now what?"

"Don't you think we should report it to the police?" Antony asked.

"No! What if they blame us? You don't know them, they will try to close the case as soon as possible and we'll be their victim"

"But seeing a crime is also a sin as doing a crime" he said "And if the police finds out that you were there then we'll fall into more trouble"

"I know...but still, you don't know how they are. I'm afraid that they won't let us live peacefully" I said.

"Annie, you're only 15 just don't think too much about all this and sleep peacefully" Antony said "Um...are you drunk again?" I bit my lips and turned towards him with a sheepish smile.

"A bit"

"I told you many times that it's dangerous to your health. Why don't you listen to me?" He said, sadly "Staying out late, midnight parties are not appropriate for girls of your age. As your brother, you should listen to me. Don't you know that I'm tired of worring about you?"

"Sorry, I won't do that again. I promise and the real promise this time" Giving a peak on his cheek I went to sleep. I lights turned off and I noticed Antony prepared his bed in the floor and lied on it.

I told him many times to sleep on the bed but he won't listen to me, we can't afford two beds afterall but as if I will eat him if he sleeps with me. Antony is a tourist guide and I'm still in school. Having a brother like him is a great fortune and after our parents divorced, he told took the responsibility to bring me up when both my parents refused.

They live differently in different places where God knows and here we both stays and live our life like as it is going. My brother is the most kind and a bit too honest boy you have ever met. His is 27 but not experienced as me with the real world. He just thinks that everything could be solved with a gentle behaviour and being honest for which he still didn't found a life partner but more it is because of money.

After my brother comes my best friend, Ash. He reads in the same class as mine and not to mention, his dad works as a truck driver. We all are in the same level, a little less than middle class but if fate decided to choose this place who are we to judge? 

Ash is not that honest and always ends up fighting with others. He has got a high attitude and you can compare him with those rascals, spending all day in the street shops, smoking a cigarette. He became my best friend three years ago when he saved me from some robbers while coming back the way from school. 

He is always tagged as the bad boy because of his nature and background but up close you'll notice that...he is not that bad.

I turned the other side of the bed and muttered "Good Night" 

"Good night, Sweetheart" Antony said as I chuckled before falling in a deed sigh, forgetting about the deadly sight I discover some hours ago.

.

"Annie! Wake up!" I opened by eyes and saw Antony rushing here and there "I prepared your breakfast and your uniform is on the chair. Get ready and I'm going for work"

I waited for a moment to recollect his works and said "So early?"

"Yes, my boss said that some new tourists came to see Niagara falls and I've to accompany them. Please take care and met you in the evening!" With that he hurriedly left closing the door. I sighed, he didn't left the time for saying "bye" also.

I got up and did my daily business and stuffed my mouth with the brown bread with butter and started to dress up. After eating and getting ready I was about to pack my bad when the door bell rang.

"Eh? Did he forget something?" I thought as the door bell was pressed again "Coming!" I yelled and picked up my pen which fell down and went to open the door.

"Did you forg-" I stopped at the half way of saying as my pupils went bigger

"... POLICE?"
