~Chapter 85~
Il have nothing
Charlis POV:
I've been prepared for this day for 7 years now. ever since I first killed someone I've always thought about what would happen if I got caught. I knew id go from having everything to having nothing, to having every single thing that I've worked for taken away.
My house, My money, My assets, and worst of all, my pride.
luckily for me, I'm not gonna give up just yet. Il ask how much the bail is and il get released on bail at least until my court date. I've got to win this. I believe I can win this case and who better to be my lawyer than myself. I'm the only person who knows what I've been through so good thing, I am a lawyer so I can tell my story in front of the judge.
normally this case would be easy for me to win with my PTSD and the physical and mental abuse alexander has caused me but this is different. I'm the lawyer for somebody else, I'm not deciding if somebody else goes to jail for life. I'm deciding if I go to jail for life. this puts a lot of pressure on me. I don't know what id do if I lost.
Police: "hello?? get out of the car??"
oh. we are here.
how did they even find out I killed him?
How would they find out 3 months later?
they pushed me out of the car and brought me inside the station shoving me in the cell.
Officer: "you have one call. I suggest you call your attorney."
Charli: "I am my own attorney."
he rolled his eyes.
Wow, why are people here so rude.
I guess they think I killed someone
I picked up the telephone and put in Chase's number, I literally have nobody else to call.
I brought the phone to my ear and he answered straight away
Charli: "chase. I'm at the station. please get here"
Chase: "are you okay?? are you gonna be okay?? please don't tell me you are gonna be in there forever?? I need you Charli?! I can't lose you forever??"
Charli: "im gonna be okay. I promise. Don't worry about me. I'm gonna get myself out of this place, I need to talk to you in person. please just get here"
Chase: "Of course, il be right over"
Charli: "thank you"
I hung up the phone.
I took a deep breath
I'm gonna be fine, il get out of here. If I cant manage to get released on bail than who cares, il be in jail for a few days tops till my court date.
Chase arrived a few minutes later and he quickly came up to my cell. luckily I'm the only one in the station today so nobody else is in this holding cell.
Chase: "I'm sorry this is happening to you"
I sighed
Charli: "it's okay. I'm gonna get out of here"
Chase: "do you want me to call your lawyer?"
I shook my head
Charli: "I'm representing myself. I just needed to ask you if you could be my witness"
He is the only witness who would testify for me.
Chase: "yeah of course."
Charli: "please just tell them about the times where you've seen Alexander physically abused me."
He nodded
Chase: "okay."
Charli: "I'm gonna try to win this case on self-defense"
He nodded
He put his hand through the bars and took mine
he intertwined our fingers
Chase: "I really hope you win this"
Charli: "I do too"
I smiled
Officer: "get up. It's time for your interrogation"
Already? I just got here?
He stood up and they opened the cell
They put handcuffs on me and led me into a dark room with a detective waiting for me.
I sat down in the seat across from him
Detective: "I'm detective Johnson and You must be Charli-Grace Damelio"
I nodded
Detective Johnson: "tell me Charli-Grace. Did you do it?"
Why is he calling me that name. I hate it
Charli: "first, please call me Charli. Second Tell me what is your evidence, what makes you think I committed this crime."
They might not have enough evidence to put me in jail
Detective Johnson: "we have a witness who saw you do it"
What?! No? There was nobody in the house that day?! They don't have a witness??
Charli: "who."
Detective Johnson: "they'd like to keep themselves anonymous."
Of course they would.
Charli: "is that all-"
Detective Johnson: "they told us the exact way you killed Alexander. You slit his throat and we checked the body and he was right."
Oh. Well that is a little more evidence-
Was someone there?? Who??
Charli: "okay? Could just be a guess"
Detective Johnson: "yup, shore could. But what isn't a guess was how he also found a play by play plan in your room about how and when you were gonna kill him"
Oh.
Charli: "he? The anonymous person is a he."
Why was he in my room in the first place?
Detective Johnson: "tell me Charli. Did you do it."
I'm gonna admit that I did it.
I have more evidence on why I did it to why I didn't do it. I won't be able to get away with this without admitting to it.
Charli: "yes, I did do it."
He nodded
Detective Johnson: "your court date is tomorrow morning, you'll be sent to London county jail for the night."
Tomorrow morning? Already?? Okay??
He stood up and brought me out
Charli: "Chase, I'm gonna be in jail for a day. My court date is tomorrow"
Chase: "I'm coming"
He stood up
Detective Johnson: "sir you are not aloud to come to jail? You can come during visitor hours."
Charli: "il be fine, It's only a night"
He brought me outside and put me inside a police car
maybe this is a good thing, I have a few hours to plan out what I'm gonna say at court and everything. I just really hope I do get out with no consequences, They will give me offers for a lower sentence but don't want a lower sentence. I want to get out of here.
