Chapter 3
Harmony's POV
"Look me in my eyes and try to feel my pain. Do you know how it feels to be left out in the rain?" I sang. Once again, I skipped school. I just can't imagine going to school without Justin. We've only been official for a couple of days before he died, but we were talking off and on for a year.
Pulling up to the cemetery for the third time in the past two days, it started to rain. I got out my car and walked through the neat rows of headstones. Once I got to Justin's, I just stood there for a minute. "Hey, Babe. How's Heaven? Is it enough room up there me? Don't find another girlfriend on me. I miss you." Tears began to fill my eyes. "I love u, Justin." I stared at his headstone before releasing my tears.
"I knew I'll see you out here again." I turned around to see this boy I've been seeing out here. "Um... Hi.", I said turning around. He seems to always be here when I was alone. I came the day after the funeral with Ainsley and he wasn't out here. I kinda thought he was stalking me. So I brought a pocket knife and some pepper spray.
"Yo A'Lyric. I have been watching you for a month now." I stepped back I wasn't gonna correct him and give him my name. But why did he think I was my sister.
"Don't be scared of me. I'm not gonna rape you. My bro Jay will do that next time. I just wanted to see how you and my nephew been?" I took off running through the cemetery, towards my car. But it was wet and I stepped in a mud puddle and fell flat on my face. "Come here A'Lyric." the boy grabbed my legs and turned me over in my back.
I took a picture of him with my new watch I designed. "Make this easy for me. Just open up.", he said. I quickly grabbed my pepper spray and sprayed the whole bottle in his face. I stood up and took off running as fast as I could to my car without falling. I started the car and sped off without even looking both ways. I swerved, dodging an 18-wheeler, and had to turn into McDonald's to keep from running a red light. But it was too late.
Once I stopped in the parking lot, a police officer was pulling in behind me with his lights on. I didnt bother to get out the car. I watched through my rearview mirror as he made his way to me and tapped my window. I let the window down and started crying.
"Ma'am calm down. I'm officer Daniels. Can you explain to me why you were doing 85 in a 40?" I couldn't speak. I was almost raped and almost got hit by an 18- wheeler.
"I was being chased. I wa.. was visiting my boyfriend at the cemetery an.. and this guy tried to rape me. I, uhh, sprayed all of my pepper spray in his face." I showed the officer the empty can.
"Okay. Calm down. License and registration please.", I handed him the paperwork. He looked it over and gave it back. "Ms. Harmony, why aren't you at school?", he asked. "I skipped school to go visit the cemetery. When I get outta school and practice, it's dark outside.", I explained. "Harmony, please step out of the vehicle." Officer Daniels instructed.
I did as told and leaned against my car. "I'm going to write an incident report, stay right here." As soon as he said that the boy walked up McDonald's parking lot. The officer and I looked at him as he continued and went inside.
"Ma'am. Are you okay? Ma'am?" I tried to speak but I couldn't. I just connected my watch to my phone so that everything on the watch can be transferred to the phone.
When I went to my gallery, it wasn't a picture there but instead, it was a video. I showed it to the officer and he looked towards the entrance of McDonald's.
"Ma'am don't look that way, but was that just the male that walked passed us." I was scared that the boy could be watching from inside.
"Yea, that was him. Are you gonna get him now?", I asked.
"I can but he might see me walking up and leave out the other door.", I nodded my head. "What we can do is go down to the station and show our technology guy the video and see what he can do about finding out this guy's name." He explained. I nodded my head in agreement and got in the car.
"Ma'am, so that this guy doesn't think we're up to something, you go towards Applebees and I'll go towards the PD. But meet me there asap," he directed.
"Yes, sir. Thank you so much.", I said as I started up the car. I reversed out of the parking lot and headed towards Apple Bees. Once I got to the light, I made a right and headed to the Police Department.
The technology guy replayed the video over and over. "Ma'am what's your name?", he asked looking confused.
"My name is Harmony Keys," I stated.
"I thought that's what Daniels told me. But in this video, the guy is saying another name," he replayed the video and stopped it. When he pressed play, the guy said "Make this easy for me A'Lyric. Just open up." I forgot to inform the police of that information.
"Baby, oh my god, what's going on?", my moma screaming holding my hand.
"Hi Ms. Keys, I'm Timothy Sanders, I work on the technology here. Your daughter happened to record half of her attack on a smartwatch she invented in her technology class. We were just going over it. Do you wanna watch it?" Detective Sanders asked. My moma nodded and sat beside me.
"Make this easy for me A'Lyric. Just open up..." the video played back.
"Detective stop the video please." My moma turned to me and studied my face. "This isn't A'Lyric. This is Harmony.", my mom said turning back towards the detective as Officer Daniels walked up.
"Do you have a clue as to why he kept calling you A'Lyric?", Detective Sanders asked.
"Yea that's my other daughter's name. Harmony's identical twin sister.", my moma explained.
"This sounds personal between the unsub and A'Lyric. So why could he be after her?", Officer Daniels asked me and moma. "Well, I don't know.", moma responded.
Everyone looked at me as I thought. He said he was related to the boy who raped her years ago. "I gotta go get my sister." I didn't wait for anyone to ask questions before I stood up, ran out of the police station and to my car. I did 90, all the way to the school, hoping my sister was there and untouched. If my assumptions are right, my sister isn't safe. I ran through the metal detectors and into the main office. When I caught my breath, my moma, officer Daniels and Detective Sanders were walking through the door, as well.
The secretary walked to the desk and smiled. "Where have you been Harmony?", Ms. Nick asked as she signed some papers.
"Um, can you call A'Lyric down here.", officer Daniels spoke up before I could speak. Ms. Nick plastered on a fake smile and I could just knock it off her face. The bell rang as soon as the picked up the intercom.
As we waited on A'Lyric, I told the officers and my momma what was going on. A'Lyric walked into the office and her face was unreadable.
"What's going on?", she asked looking at everybody. Ms. Nick leaned in and continued to act like she was working. I looked at A so that we could "Twin Talk". After talking through our eyes, A looked at Ms. Nick.
"Can y'all hurry up and handle this business so y'all can get out my office.", Ms. Nick said.
Before I could speak up, officer Daniels covered my mouth. I guess he sensed the anger in me. Little did he know, A'Lyric was the one with no filter. "Can you unlock the conference room for us to talk then nosy bitch!" A'Lyric said.
