"Singer and song-writer Y/n Y/l/n has been found dead in her Los Angeles home. Authorities say she was found by her brother, Tommy. Her autopsy has yet to be completed but it is believed that she committed suicide. Y/n was found with medication in her hand and it is known she struggled with mental illness." The news reporter says.

Y/n wasn't suicidal, she never one thought about killing herself. I know this because she told me everything.

He did it

Skye murdered her, I just know it.

He did it

"They're closing her case." Zendaya says coming in the room.

I pause the video and look up.

"They're staying that there's enough evidence to prove that it was a suicide." Zendaya says.

"That's bullshit." I say.

"I know. We gotta do something about it." Zendaya says.

"I can't believe I'm about to say this. I'm about to solve my best friend's murder." I say.

Este's a friend of mine

Let's go back a few weeks.

2 weeks ago...

"It's nice to see you." Y/n says hugging me.

We meet up every Tuesday night for dinner and a glass of wine

I smile and we sit down.

"How are you?" I ask.

"Restless." Y/n says.

Este's been losin' sleep

"Why?" I ask.

"I think Skye is cheating on me." Y/n says.

Her husband's actin' different, and it smells like infidelity

"She smells different, has hickeys I didn't give her, and has hair that doesn't match mine or hers on her clothes." Y/n says.

She says, "That ain't my Merlot on his mouth

"There's a lot of transactions at jewelry store. There's no reason to believe that she isn't cheating but I'm gonna ask her." Y/n says.

That ain't my jewelry on our joint account"
No, there ain't no doubt
I think I'm gonna call him out

"She'll just deny it anyway." Y/n says.

She says, "I think he did it, but I just can't prove it"

"Whenever I bring stuff to her attention she denies it and says my medication I messing with my brain. Then she gets rid of the evidence and never makes the same mistake." She says.

I think he did it, but I just can't prove it
I think he did it, but I just can't prove it

"No body, no crime." I say.

No, no body, no crime

"Yeah, but when there's clues, everything is transparent." She says.

But I ain't lettin' up until the day I die

Present...

"I think Skye knew Y/n knew she was cheating and liked her to silence her." I say.

No, no
I think he did it

"Y/n has the largest fan base in the world with over 87 million streams on Spotify a month and 32 million copies sold on her debut album. Y/n saying she was cheating could've ended Skye's whole career." I say.

No, no
He did it

"Now, you just have to prove it." Zendaya says.

Time Skip

"Hey Alexa." Garrett says.

"I need to know if Y/n was here on Friday." I say.

"No." Garrett says.

Este wasn't there Tuesday night at Olive Garden
At her job or anywhere

"On Friday, Skye called me and asked me if Y/n was here. I said no and she said Y/n had left last night and didn't come home. She n's full of shit though, Y/n goes to sleep at 8. Why would she go out at 11?" Garrett says.

He reports his missing wife

"I drive by Y/n's house and Skye had a brand-spanking-new car." Garrett says.

And I noticed when I passed his house
His truck has got some brand new tires

"I also seen some dude moving his stuff in this morning. The police ended the crime scene investigation YESTERDAY." Garrett says.

And his mistress moved in
Sleeps in Este's bed and everything

"You know Y/n was the side piece." He says.

"What?" I ask.

"Skye used to be married to some guy who moved here from the Philippines. The same night he died from "suicide," Skye asked Y/n to marry her. I never told her because Y/n looked so happy, I couldn't take that from her." Garrett says.

"Now there's no doubt in my mind that she didn't kill her." I say.

No, there ain't no doubt
Somebody's gotta catch him out, 'cause

"I'm with you. If you need a witness in court, I got you." He says.

I think he did it, but I just can't prove it (He did it)

"Thank you." I say.

I think he did it, but I just can't prove it (He did it)

He smiles and I leave.

I think he did it, but I just can't prove it (He did it)

Getting Skye locked up for good, is gonna be a piece of cake.

No, no body, no crime
But I ain't lettin' up until the day I die

Time Skip

"Skye didn't kill Y/n, she committed suicide." Micheal says.

No, no

"Skye killed Y/n to save her own career. Y/n knew Skye was cheating and killed her." I say.

I think he did it

"Y/n had a pill bottle in her hand that was empty." Danielle says.

No, no

"Skye's ex-husband "committed suicide" too." I say.

He did it

"What?" Micheal asks.

"She was married and the same night he died, she asked Y/n to marry her. Y/n died and she moved some guy in after they closed the crime scene. There's witnesses and a shit ton of evidence to prove it." I say.

"My dad made me get a boating license and I watch a lot of crime movies. I could commit a murder and no one would know." Skye says.

Good thing my daddy made me get a boating license when I was fifteen
And I've cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a scene

"What?" I ask.

"If I needed to kill someone, I could do it. I could have an alibi planned out and have the murder done within two hours. My sister would just say she I was with her:" Skye says.

sister's gonna swear she was with me
(She was with me, dude)

"That new guy better hope there's a life insurance policy. I'm about to go fuck Skye up." Danielle says getting up.

Good thing his mistress took out a big life insurance policy

"No, no, no, no." I say.

"We'll let the courts handle her." I say.

2 weeks later...

"Breaking news! Skye Hills- Y/l/n, Y/n Y/l/n's wife, has been sentenced to life in prison for murdering Y/n and being connected to nearly a half a dozen other murders." The news anchor says.

They think she did it, but they just can't prove it

They think she did it, but they just can't prove it

"The other victims families send thanks to Alexa for not overlooking the situation and making sure Skye faced the consequences. Everyone is just so grateful that the family and friends of the deceased can now properly mourn." The news anchor says.

She thinks I did it, but she just can't prove it

"Might need to drop this acting thing and become a detective." I say.

No, no body, no crime
I wasn't lettin' up until the day he—

"What do you think?" I ask.

No, no body, no crime
I wasn't lettin' up until the day he—

"You solve one case and think you're Sherlock Holmes, huh?" Zendaya says.

No, no body, no crime

I laugh and Zendaya smiles.

I wasn't lettin' up until the day he died
