[Aedan]

My Mum and I walk inside the house, and creep in turning on the lights. It's 7 o'clock in the morning, and I know for a fact Caitriona isn't up yet. Tomorrow is her birthday, and we left to get her a birthday present. We got her an acoustic guitar, she's always wanted one, ever since she was little. I can only think what her expression would be when she sees it. 

Before Emilia was born, Kate wanted to be a songwriter. She's really good too, but when she found out she was pregnant, she gave it all up for Emilia. I don't even think she's even come near a guitar in three years...I mean Caitriona is a wonderful mother to my niece, but I just don't understand why she gave up on her dream. Now that Emilia is older now, she may pick back up on it. 

"Aedan go wake up your sister" Mum says shooing me up the stairs. The stairs creak under my feet, making me realize how old they actually are. When I reach the top banister I wrap my hand around the golden knob. I open the door slightly, hoping not to wake her, I peer my head inside the room and i find it empty. 

I furrow my eyebrows and open the door completely, taking in my surroundings. I see game pieces in the floor, two mugs with cold hot chocolate in them, a bag of half-eaten gummy bears, her room is a mess. It's never like this, out of the corner of my eye I see something on the floor. It's that type of something that looks so out of place...and it's that stupid white shirt. 

That's when I lost it. 

"What the hell?" I say in shock. I pick up the shirt, just as I do my mom shouts from downstairs. 

"Aedan..." she yells nervously. "Please come downstairs..." she trails off and I race down the stairs. I hear her in the kitchen and when I reach the door I drop the white cloth in my hands onto the floor. My mother holds a blood soaked rag in her hands, I feel a weight consume me, I feel drowned in fear. 

"Aedan...what's going on??" He voice is shaky and scared. She looks at me fearfully into my eyes. Her knees nearly look weak, it looks like she may faint, but she stays put and holds the blooded rag with courage, despite how frightened she is. 

"I don't know, but I'm gonna find out" I say as my fists ball up at my sides. I don't know how to feel, I feel everything begin to spin. I don't want to blame Niall for any of this, but I have no choice. I found his shirt in my sisters room, the thought alone could send me into a frenzy and on top of that there is a blood soaked rag in the kitchen...how am I supposed to handle this? 

I told Niall to watch and take care of my sister, well yeah I'm pretty sure he did since his shirt was in my sisters room. It looked like some sort of date or something up there...or maybe they were just hanging out. I really don't know what to think, so I bolt to the front door. 

"Aedan where are you going?" She questions as I head towards the door. 

"Mum stay here, I have to take care of something" I say slamming the door shut.
