Jason heard the doorbell at two in the morning and got out of bed to find out who it was, even though it was pouring heavily outside.

Jason groggily got out of bed and made his way to the front door, rubbing his eyes to try and shake off the sleep. He peered through the peephole and saw a figure standing on his porch, hood up and head down.

"Who is it?" Jason called out, trying to keep his voice above the sound of the rain.

The figure slowly looked up, and Jason saw that it was Bella, her eyes red and puffy from crying.

"No, I have no idea why Karen left so suddenly," he lied, trying to maintain a innocent tone.His father raised an eyebrow, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Are you sure? You two were quite close, weren't you?"Adrian shrugged, trying to appear nonchalant. "Yeah, we were friends, but I had no idea she was planning on leaving. Maybe she just needed a change of scenery or something."His father nodded, seeming to accept Adrian's explanation, but Adrian could tell he was still suspicious.
