I
scroll
up
and
see
a
whole
string
of
messages.
The
further
I
scroll
up,
the
older
the
messages.
There
are
loads
of
them,
jumping
back
and
forth
over
years.
Sometimes,
if
they’re
both
online,
the
conversations
will
last
for
hours,
and
sometimes
there
will
just
be
one
message
intended
to
be
read
by
itself
as
more
of
an
email
than
intended
to
start
a
conversation.
As
I
scroll
up,
I
catch
bits
and
pieces
of
conversations
they’ve
had,
words
springing
out
from
unsuspecting
places,
disjointed
sentences
hanging
on
their
own,
a
whole
patchwork
of
scrambled
letters.

Is
he
talking
about
Becky?
Is
that
the
day
that
it
all
went
wrong?
So
this
Sasha
person
was
a
part
of
this
situation
too?
I
think
I
remember
the
name
from
somewhere.
Oh
yeah,
that's
right.
Jayce
said
yesterday
that
the
reason
they
beat
her
was
because
they
thought
she
had
slept
with
Ryo's
best
friend
Sasha.
This
must
be
him.
He
is
also
the
person
whose
party
I
am
now
apparently going
to.

This
just
gets
even
more confusing.

I
can't
help
myself.
I
have
to
look
at
more
of
Jayce's
messages.
He
must
be
contacting
someone,
and
I
also
can't
rule
out
the
possibility
that
he's
working
for
or
with
someone.
Now
is
the
perfect
time.

I
tap
a
few
buttons
and
find
myself
at
a
page
listing
his
various
conversations
with
people,
although
it
seems
he
doesn’t
use
this
website
too
much;
his
most
recent
messages
were
sent
a
few
weeks
ago.
Kaylie
Merrick
is
one
of
the
names
that
pops
up,
but
when
I
look
at
the
messages,
it's
just
a
few
boring
'hey-how-are-you'
conversations
all
started
by
Kaylie
and
left
unanswered
by
Jayce.

That's
when
I
see
something
intriguing.
I
scroll
up
to
the
beginning
of
their
conversations
and
start
reading
from
the
very
top
to
the
bottom.
It’s
a
name
I
never
expected
to
see.

Becky
Meyer.

-Look
I'm
really
sorry
about
Ryo
today. I'm
sure
he
didn't
mean
it.
He's
just
having
lots
of
problems
with
his
family
atm
:/ xxx

-Btw
I
talked
to
him
about
it
and
asked
him
to
leave
you
alone.
I
don't
think
he
will
be
acting
that
way
any
more

Erm
thanks
I
guess
but

handle
this
myself.
I
don't
need
your
help.
