The old man left and went into the back where we could see him talking to a person, and that person started to type.
"Rob do you think I could talk to Jackson, please"
"I would usually say no, but you guys are innocent, it's clear that she did it to herself, you you can talk to him"
" ok, thank you"
I walk over to Jackson who still has the cuffs on.
"Jackson what happened, I heard the screaming"
"I'm ok, he was screaming, it scared me a little but I'm ok, are you ok? Look I know what happened in the kitchen, I already told the man, he knows everything. He says if I am not lying then we can get out of here by tomorrow night. We can spend the night tomorrow after I get my phone back at aunt Tia's house, I know she will say yes"
"What happened in the kitchen?"
"Mom and I got into a fight, something stupid. I said I would stop giving money to her for the bills because she has enough money. So I went back to my room and a few minutes later I heard a Big Bang, I feel like it's all my fault"
He started crying and I hugged him tight, even though he is my older brother I have always felt like the oldest sibling, I understand now that my brother was right. My mom only wants money.
"It's not your fault, it's no one's. Mom was the one that did it she is the one that hurt herself. You can't control her hands. No one can, except herself"
"Than why do I feel like the world is falling to pieces because of me?"
"It's not, nothing feels real to anyone right now. Not even to me"
The old man approached rob, and they started talking. Then Rob approached me.
"He wants to talk to you, good luck"
I walked with the old man into the room, he pointed to the seat and told me to sit down. Then he left and came back with water. I knew what they were doing the want my finger prints to see if it was me. Of course I have nothing to hide but I don't want them to say I did something I didn't do.
"I'm not thirsty right now, thanks"
"Ok, tell me your side of the story"
"I was sleeping, dreaming of whatever I was dreaming about, and next thing I new I heard a bang, so I woke up. I heard Jackson yelling help me and that got me up onto my feet right away. When I walked in I saw Alex sitting in the ground, his face pale and scared, while Jackson was trying to keep mom awake. Holding the wound from not bleeding. So my first instinct was to call 911, and here we are"
He started screaming and banging the table saying I was lying and that I shouldn't be. And I am 15 and I should be talking more of that happened every move, everything.
"I AM TELLING YOU EVERYTHING I DID"
It got quiet for a second, and then he told me to just think of everything that happened every move I did everything I heard, everything. What happened before all of this. And I told him everything. And after a little bit he let me go.
"Before I go sir, please and I mean please Alex is just a kid, don't yell at him"
"Oh I only talk to teens, he is definitely not a teenager"
I walked out of the room feeling scared and alone knowing Alex was up next and Jackson couldn't hug me and tell me everything was going to be ok. Because I am the one with all of my life being built to be the oldest that isn't the oldest.
