Please...don't

Chapter six

"My mother... as in my mom?" I asked

"Yes George, I am so sorry"

"Then go, help her"

"She said she doesn't need a lawyer"

"That's impossible!" I opened the car door and run to the police station. But The police officer wouldn't let me in.

"Mom? Mom! Please come out, what are you doing, please..." I cried as Veronica's mom dragged me to her car.

"We have to help her" I cried "we can't just go!" as Veronica's mom continued to drive away

"I am sorry George, there's nothing we can do"

Then we drove in silence. Me crying and veronica typing on her phone as if nothing happened.

Her mom stopped the car when we reached our house. Then turned to me

"Did your mom say anything to you when you called her at the station?"

"No, I don't think so"

"Then go to your house before the police come and search for any letter she might have written"

"But... but what about you? You have to help me prove she is innocent"

"How do you know that she is?" veronica asked

"because she is my mother. not some psycho!"

what's wrong with people today?

"I am sorry but we can't help you with that," she said

"Fine! I don't need you anyway" I said and got out then run to my house

I called my dad as soon as I got in and he told me that he was at the police station. I went to my room and stared at a piece of paper on my bed. A letter, from mom

I picked it up, and it read,

"George, I can't tell you how sorry I am with words. I am sorry I kept you in the dark and didn't tell you about your brother. Please forgive me for everything I did. But I am going to make everything right. I promise I will explain everything to you one day"

Oh my god! Sebastian was my brother and mom knew it. She knew all about it but didn't tell me. She Didn't even do anything while she knew how Mrs. Lin treated him.

And then my head started to spin

I spent the whole afternoon crying on my bed. I couldn't believe I had a brother, who died because of me. I kept remembering the times I hit him, and his drawings... Then I fell asleep.

The next morning, I woke up to a knock on my door. Dad came in. his eyes were red and puffed. I sat up, He came and hugged me. "I am so sorry George, I..." then the doorbell interrupted him.

He sighed and stood up "It must be the police" then went out.

The police, so it wasn't a dream

I changed to my uniform and went out of the house as the police started searching the house. I took mom's letter with me

I sat at my desk at school, the teacher was talking but I wasn't listening. Instead, I was staring at the empty desk at the front and picturing Sebastian sitting there

Then veronica, who sat beside me whispered

"What did it say?"

"Leave me alone!" I hissed

"The letter, what did it say?"

"There was no letter" I lied

She gave me a look then said "I know there was, I know a lot of things"
