37. The Truth, The Whole Truth & Nothing But The Truth (Part 2)

⬆️Jackson's prison cell

Before the four of them knew it, they were in Jackson's cell, and it seemed as though he wasn't the only person who stayed in there as there were three bedrooms instead of one.

Since Khalifa was the last person to enter Jackson's cell, he was therefore supposed to close the door and he did.

Whilst Khalifa, Josiah and Reminisce had sat opposite the single bed, Savannah and Jackson had sat down next to each other, with Savannah crossing her legs.

No one had said anything for the longest time. To be fair, it wasn't exactly easy.

They had trespassed and invaded Jackson's privacy. Not just that, Jackson didn't exactly know they had existed before today.

"Y'all better be here for a good reason," Jackson deadpanned. "I'm already pressing charges because you guys trespassed. Don't make me increase it."

"We're here for a good reason, don't worry," Khalifa promised. "We're here to tell you the truth about your past. What we know, anyway."

Jackson didn't say anything, he just frowned. Goodness knew what he was thinking, but all of them were trying to figure it out.

Part of him wasn't sure if he was ready to hear everything.

Let alone anything.

Before they had explained anything though, Jackson had to agree to some rules.

"You're making rules in my room?"

"Listen, if you break them, we could get in serious trouble," Savannah informed him. "We're already in trouble for coming here. None of our parents know we're here. But I'm talking about trouble with my mum. And Darius."

The rules weren't much. There was only one main one anyway: Jackson couldn't have said anything to anyone about this conversation.

He had to keep everything a secret. Savannah didn't want anything bad happening to Lilibet or Darius, as much as they disliked each other.

However even if Savannah disliked someone, she wouldn't have wished anything bad against them. Except from Stefani, albeit that was for her own personal gain.

She wanted Khalifa to break up with her so that she could have had him. She felt as though Stefani wasn't good for him and it turned out she kind of wasn't.

Savannah had feelings for Khalifa and still did: he just didn't know that yet.

She also thought that none of their parents knew that they were there. Ashanti told Kesiena and Lilibet. She just didn't want them to talk to their children about it so it seemed like she had kept the promise she made them.

The promise she made saying that she wouldn't have told anyone that they were going to visit prison.

"Do you promise not to tell anyone?"

Jackson didn't reply. He still wasn't happy over the fact that they were making rules in his room.

"It depends what y'all have to say," he replied. "If it's not that deep, then I'm spilling. If it is, then I'll keep quiet."

Better than nothing they had guessed. Also, it wasn't like they could have practically forced him to say yes.

This was his room for starters, he was practically older than them plus first impressions had mattered.
