Nearly everything I have worked for is gone. It looks like whoever is doing this to me took a sledgehammer to the entire house before slashing everything else. My bed has been ripped to shreds and thrown from the frame. Photos of my mom and me flung across the room, all smashed to pieces now. In less than a few hours, everything I have has been destroyed. Almost everything here had belonged to her, she was in everything that surrounded me and now it’s all gone.

Just like she is.

Walking around the room, I see a manila envelope beside my busted dresser. Kneeling, I pick it up along with a photo that had sat on my bedside table from my very first recital. I don’t know who took it, but the candid shot of my mother embracing me the moment I came off stage has always been my favorite. The pride and love that are shown so brightly for me at just five years old, was only brighter with every passing day until she died.

Fresh tears stream down my cheeks as I run my thumb across the image that always brought me such comfort. As long as I was dancing, she was always with me. A part of her would always be in everything I do, of course, I just feel so close to her still, somehow, when I’m dancing. Everything that shone in her eyes and her smile was more than enough to get me through the worst of days.

“Oh, Mom. What am I going to do now?” I whisper, wishing more than anything for just the sound of her voice.

“Baby,” Luke says softly. Coming up behind me, his hand comes to rest on my shoulder, squeezing lightly. “Were you planning to tell me?” I shake my head in response to his question and hear him sigh. “This isn’t something you just ignore or handle on your own, Dollface. Give me the envelope, Kionna. We should let the police open it.”

Guilt washes over me. Of course he is right. Yes, I should have told him. Everything. So why can’t I? Part of it is that Mitch has been my suspect the whole time. Could he be behind the whole thing? If so, how do I tell Luke his best friend is doing all of this. Not just to me, but to him as well. I had assumed if it were Mitch, the days I avoided Luke would have made him stop. Instead, things escalated. Now it’s gone so far I can’t help agreeing with Luke. This is something I can’t handle, I just don’t think he can either. If it is Mitch, I place a rift there that isn’t easily repaired. If it isn’t, that means we are back at square one, with nothing to go on and that may be the scariest thing of all.

Bending down, Luke helps me to my feet before taking the envelope from me. “Does it look like anything was taken?” He asks, looking around the room.
