A couple weeks have gone by and everything is just fucked. A missing person report went out about Andy a few days after everything went down. I've been questioned by the police on if I knew anything of his whereabouts but I told them no, they gave me a card and to call them if I find out anything. His parents called also… they're an absolute mess especially his mom, hearing her cries damn near broke me. The university moved me to a new dorm and shut ours down while the investigation continued, I was relieved for that because every time I entered that room an overwhelming sense of guilt showered over me, I couldn't look at his side of the room without feeling disgusted with myself. I endured so much in just a short amount of time but killing Andy was the breaking point for me, I need to find a way to leave and go home and never come back. I wanted to leave right away but I can't just leave in the middle of a semester, so I had to go ask if there was any way I could graduate early and leave once the semester's over. I set up a meeting with an academic advisor to see what I can do, as I'm waiting for my meeting I'm sitting in the office and I look out the window and recognize a worker from the haunt. My heart starts racing as he's just sitting there staring at me, why is here? A few minutes go by and I get called in to talk to the academic advisor.
"Jay Sanchez?"
"Huh… oh yeah that's me"
"Come over and have a seat"
I head over and sit down, the older lady looks at me
"How can I help you?"
"Well I just wanted to ask a question about graduation"
"That's not until the end of next semester"
"Yeah I know but I just wanted to ask if there's anyway I'm able to graduate early?"
"Can I ask why?"
I think of a quick response
"I… just miss home"
"Hmmm oook"
She looks through transcripts and other documents
"Hmmm with the classes you've taken the last three years I think you should be able to…."
As she continues talking I just happen to take a quick glance out the window… I see a different worker. it's obvious that Hill has them watching my every move, he thinks I'm going to run and tell someone what's been going on. The academic advisor then calls my name
"Jay?"
"Ohh yeah sorry"
"Did you hear me?"
"Ummm no can you repeat that?"
"I said you'll be able to graduate in December, you just have to fill out some paperwork"
"Oh can I do that now?"
"Of course"
I quickly sign the paperwork
"Alright it's all set, I'll see you at the commencement ceremony"
"Yeah I don't think I'll be attending, I just want to go home as soon as all this is done"
"Ok well that's unfortunate but I understand"
"Yeah… well thank you for everything i appreciate it"
I head out the offices and as I'm walking down the stairs I seen more of them in different spots, just watching me, I just keep my head down and head straight to my dorm room. As soon as I get to the room I lock the door and take a deep breath, trying to keep myself from having a panic attack, then my phone rings from an unknown number.
"Hello…"
"It's Sonny"
"Uhhh what's up?"
"Oh nothing just checking up on you… how was that conversation you had with that lady?"
"Oh it was good"
"Jay…."
"Yes?"
"Don't fuck with me…. You didn't tell her anything did you?"
"No I was just talking to her about graduation"
"Don't lie to me!"
"I fucking swear!! I'm graduating early that's what the conversation was about"
"Ok… I'm trusting you"
"If you trust me then get your fucking guys off my back"
"Fine nobody is going to follow you anymore"
"You better stick to your word because I am"
"Yeah because if you don't I'll fucking kill you"
Before I can even respond he hangs up, I just sit down on the bed and stare at the wall. I take a deep breath and just repeat to myself
"Just two more weeks…. Just two more weeks"
Just need to survive these last two weeks and I'll be home free.
