The two head back in the hallway as the cops were called and waited. Rebecca day on the floor against the wall and had her arms wrapped around her legs as she leaned into Lex who was holding her and comforting her. She had finally stopped tearing up and crying and was mostly sniffling. She looked up at Lex for a second and gave a slight smile through her runny/ruined make up, she was happy to have someone there as she was freaking out. She might have seemed more calmed down than when she saw Laurenâs dead body laying there with Soren next to her, but internally she was still freaking out and not sure what to think. Who couldâve done this, and why? Rebecca thought to herself as she was leaning her head against Lex, him just rubbing her shoulder and saying she would be okay. While thinking all of this to herself, Rebecca had be scratching and pinching her arms as a reaction to her anxiety, nerves, and emotions taken over, it wasnât until Lex said something that she stopped, but had already marked herself up a little.
The two sat there when the first wave of cops showed up and taped up the room, well now what was the crime scene. The cops had started questing some people but left Rebecca alone as she just continued to stare into the ground and Lex letting people know she was okay and needed a minute. But once the detectives got there she knew she would have to talk to them at some point. She lightly nudged Lex and signalled she wanted to stand up, and used him to stand up and try to get ahold of herself. Becca took a look around and saw Erin talking to Soren but couldnât make out what they were saying, and then Erin came over to her and Lex asking if they were okay.
âY-yeah. Just, Lauren⊠sheâsâŠâ Rebecca was able to get through her sniffles and recovering from crying, and not wanting to say it out loud, as if not saying it will make it not true. She heard Lex say something to Erin. She saw the two detectives come out of the room and the female went up to Nate and Soren and started asking them things. Rebecca looked back at Lex and Erin when the other detective came over to talk to the three of them, asking for some basic information, small statements. âRebecca Wilde Cruze, 24. Friend of Laurenâs⊠really close friend.â She said before sniffly and tearing up a little thinking about her best friend from high school being dead. Lex and Erin gave their information while Rebecca just stared at the male detective, she felt like she knew him from somewhere but wasnât sure. She was broken from her trance when he said asked for anything else. âOh! Soren was in the room when I saw L-Lauren. I got emotional and started to freak out so I wasnât sure what he was doing, sorry.â She said pausing for a second before stepping forward grabbing the detectives hand. âBut Soren wouldnât hurt Lauren. Heâs not that type of guy.â She said before realizing what she did and backed up, back into Lexâs embrace. The detective thanked them and left, a little awkwardly so.
Rebecca looked over at Erin. âRi-rght? He wouldnât kill Lauren would he?â She asked before noticing Lex looking at Khepri. Lex quietly excused himself and asked if Rebecca would like to stay with him tonight, so she wouldnât be alone. Becca gave a small smile and nodded before Lex walked away to check on Pri, and watched him walk away before Erin got her attention. She warned Rebecca and told her to be careful. âIâll be fine⊠I just donât want to spend the night alone. You know?â Rebecca said grabbing Erinâs hand itâs both of hers. âI promise.â She said before smiling and walking over to Pri and Lex, staying quiet to let them finish talking. âIâm ready to go when you are.â She whispered to Lex, taking his arm.
