Alfred and Allen's room didn't look any different from what it had been earlier. Matt immediately found Allen's bed and crawled into it, squeezing his muscular arms into the crack between the bed and the wall.
"Can you find it?" Matthew asked.
"It's kinda hard to..."
"Let me help." Matthew stepped forward but Alfred caught his arm. "Mattie...don't leave me."
"Alfred," his brother was acting so terrified. It wasn't like him.
"Please."
"Fine." Matthew stepped back, letting Alfred clinging to him like a lost child.
"I've got it." Matt announced. He pulled his arm out of the crevice, holding up a red notebook.
"Flip to the date when Gilbert was killed to save time." Ludwig commanded. Matt nodded, flipping through the pages until he found the date.
He read through it, his pace slow. Matthew had forgotten that Matt wasn't very book smart.
"What does it say?" Ludwig asked.
"Shhh. Give him time." Matthew scolded.
Matt continued to read, face crumbled into a hard scowl.
"Gather everybody in the cafeteria." He said.
"Got it." Ludwig nodded. It looked like this case was coming to a close.
Finally.

Dear diary,
So, Alfred freaked me out today. He came into our room at 3am with blood all over his hands and woke me up.
He was all like "dude ya gotta help me bro." He was panicking too.
Apparently he got in a fight with Gilbert and it didn't end well and he didn't know what to do. I helped him clean everything up so he wouldn't get in trouble but I feel sick about it. Matthew was so torn up over the whole thing and I wanna tell him but Alfred would probably kill me too. Not in the mood to die today. Nope.

Dear diary,
There was sort of a second murder...
I helped, I guess. I posted Lovino's location to the group chat so they couldn't narrow down the suspects. I wish I hadn't. Matt is still a suspect and this is only going to make it worse for him.
Anyway I went off with Alfred and waited in the bathroom while he took out Lovino. Then I helped him clean up.
This is starting to get really messy.

Dear Diary,
I'm getting in way too deep. Matthew is with us all the time and I'm so tempted to tell him. I like him a lot, too, which doesn't help. I'm terrified of Alfred, of what he might do to me, but it's so hard to see Matthew crying himself to sleep every night and to see Matt avoid going to class. He has a hard enough time at school and I want to see him do good but it won't happen like this. I can't stand this anymore. I'm going to talk to Alfred.

Dear diary,
Talking to him only made things worse. I let my crush on Matthew slip and now he sees me as a threat. He told me I'm just going to be another Gilbert and that I'm going to steal Mattie away from him, but I would never do that. I'm really starting to get concerned for my safety. I want to end it but I know I could never do that with Alfred still on the loose.

Dear diary,
I've had it. I'm sick of seeing him manipulate Matthew like that. I'm sick of seeing him coo over him like a baby when he can take care of himself and I'm just fucking sick and tired of sharing a room with a god damn sociopath with an unhealthy obsession for his brother. I'm going to tell somebody today, if it's the last thing I do. This has to end.

I've been having trouble getting my chapters through.
