Ebony, Mi Amore

Interrogation

Time-lapse: 2 days

I parked my car in the police station parking lot. Lily sat beside me on the passenger side silently. She looks at me, regret plastered all over her face. " Alright now, let's go." I grabbed my purse. Not walking too fast because I was still a little uncomfortable from having the baby. Zena was at school. And My mother-in-law, Ana was watching baby Oliver. Mason was preoccupied with work since he wouldn't let me go to work for so long he had twice the load. As we walked, Lily was looking reluctantly at the front doors. I was gonna make this simple for her. I grabbed her arm and tugged her along. " Come on we have to tell the police everything. We have to find Ashely and put her in jail. No lies or I'll ask them for the lie detector."

Lily nodded her head. Her eyes locked onto mine.

AUTHORS NOTE: Hey beautiful people, I would like to inform you that, I feel like if I wrote out Lily's POV it would be better to understand what is going on and y'all will have a peek at what goes on in her head!! Enjoy

My heart is about to burst throw my chest and run away. iAye Dios Mio! Oh no I have to say everything about Ashley? Will she be angry with me? Will she still want to speak with me? I don't know. She won't pick my calls. Should I lie for her? No. She wouldn't lie for me, so I shouldn't for her. Besides Ebony is so much nicer than I expected. All of these thoughts raced through my Cabeza as Ebony pulled me to the police station front desk. A lady who seemed to be acquaintances with Ebony smiled when she saw us.

"So this is our witness?" Ebony nodded her head. The lady waved us forward. Ebony followed with no hesitation. I followed closely behind. They were going to separate Ebony and me. No. She was the one that was making this any easier for me. I felt cold instantly when she let go of my hand. I was brought into a room that had a table and two chairs. Mirrors covered the walls. A tall black man walked in his dark bronze skin shone in the florescent lights. He couldn't be older than 20 or maybe 22. A pile of dark blue ombre dread locs adorned his head. His face wasn't stern or mean, at least not yet. He simply had a straight face. He sat in the chair across from me and started to interrogate me.

"Who is Ashely Stiffler to you?" His voice was gruff, sexy. I was a little taken aback, I didn't get to open my mouth to answer before he was ushering me to get on with the answer. I nodded quickly. "Okay, Ashely and I have been friends for a long while. Probably 10 years, she used to be married to my brother, and then they got a divorce. But we were all friends before that. They were only married for like a year." I explained clearly. He nodded. "Alright, so would you say that you and Ms. Stiffler are very close friends that would stick up for each other?" I cocked my head at this question. "Ashely isn't as loyal to me as I am to her. I know it makes me look foolish and stupid now. I use to be very hostile, much like her. But I have evaded my prior personalities."

The officer nodded. "Now, would you have any idea where Ms. Stiffler would be? Any idea? Anything at all?" I froze as he asked me those questions. Should I spill? Yes? No? "Um..." I hesitated which made the officer cock his eyebrow in suspicion. "What are you doing? Formulating a lie?" He sounded disappointed. I look at him, making sure that I wasn't giving anything away with my facial expression. "I don't know where she is but I know places she could be at." There, I wasn't lying. That was 100% the truth. The officer nodded. "Name them please." He positioned his pencil to write down the addresses.

Truth only. "Okay, She could be at  6969 hoe avenue. She could also be in this abandoned house but I think they're starting to remodel the place. It's called 1738 Wetty fap avenue. And then there is a really nice neighborhood where she likes to stay at, it's called 1313 cherry pop avenue." The police officer nodded as he quickly scribbled down the places I said. They were going o find Ashely. In a matter of hours if they target the places that I told them. I hope she doesn't hate me. "Do you have anything else to say?" The officer asked. Ebony pops into my head. The truth only. I nodded my head yes. He gestures for me to go on.

" So Ashely had an idea and at the time I agreed with her...She wanted us to work together and get rid of Ebony. At first, we just wanted to scare her away. So Ashely wrote really creepy letters that implied we were going to harm her but at the time that wasn't our motive. We thought that she would be scared enough to leave. But she...wasn't." I cleared my throat and looked up at the officer. The look on his face was more of a child listening to an interesting tale instead of real things that actually happened. He nodded his head as if to tell me to continue.

"Then Ashely started to get angrier and angrier. She came up with an idea. It was loca. Now that I think about it... I was to lure Ebony to my house. And then She could hurt her and make her leave. I was starting to actually get scared. That we would be caught. We would go to jail. Dios Mio, She herself was scaring me. She was becoming so engrossed in her plans. But she told me I didn't need to worry because we could pin it on Jensy." I stopped to catch my breath.

I looked up to see an incredulous look on his face. "It's true, I swear it. I would never lie. Not to Ebony. Not anymore. She doesn't deserve it. I'll continue on with my confession now." She tried to look different. She died her hair black and acted ruder to me than usual, everything was getting to her head. She had convinced me that we could get away with it. But then I started to like Ebony. She's nice you know. But it was too late because I had brought her to my house. I wanted to tell her that we should stop. That it was not going to end well. You guys knew it wasn't Jensy. Ashely was furious with me now. She left and I thought that that meant that she had given up. And that is a shame on me I know better than to believe such a thing." I looked down at my hands. I flexed and unflexed my knuckles.

I had to tell him everything. "So I was asleep when I heard Ashely come into my room. It was around, I think 2 am. She was saying. I did it! I did it! Then I said. What did you do? She looked at me like I was stupid and she said. ' I pushed Ebony down the stairs we have to let her bleed out. Come on we can get away! Then later I can come for Mason!' I was mortified, at what she had become. I got up quickly and ran to the hallway and then I saw Ebony...a bleeding mess. I felt so disgusted with myself and shameful." I looked up at the officer. The look of disbelief was now gone. " Okay well, Ms. Rosado...um I think I have to arrest you."

"Arrest me? May I speak to Ebony first?" The Officer looked at me reluctantly. And then nodded. I took a deep breath to calm my heart. He stood up and walked to the door. He opened the door and beckoned me forward.
