When It's all over

NEO'S POV

**Note this is now Neo's subconscious**

I couldn't stand to listen to the lies she made up of my father.
He couldn't....he wouldn't!
I mean how...how could he possibly rape my best friend.
She had to be lying.

I stormed into the house slamming the door behind me.

"DAD!......DAD!" I called furiously.

"Bathong, Neo what is your problem why are you yelling." My mom asked as she followed behind me trying to stop me.

I walked upstairs into his room where he had been laying on the bed on his laptop.

"DAD TELL ME IT'S NOT TRUE!"

"NEO, WHAT IS ALL THIS?" he asked.

"TELL ME YOU DIDN'T RAPE ADE!" I said crushing my fists with tears rolling down my cheeks.

My mom gasped, in shock of what I had said.

"TELL ME...YOU DID NOT RAPE MY FRIEND! I WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY IT!"

My mom's eyes suddenly became teary.

"NANA WHAT'S ALL THIS?" my dad said standing up from the bed.

"DID YOU DO IT......"

"OF COURSE NOT!....WHAT BUSINESS DO I HAVE WITH YOUR FRIEND."

For some reason I believed him....a part of me wanted to believe Ade.
It was like I was running mad.

I placed my hands on both ears because it felt like I was hearing voices in my head.
I was literally going crazy.

The TV in the room had been on the News.
We looked to it only to see my father's picture on the News.

"TURN THE VOLUME UP!" I said looking for the remote.

"Allegations have been made against Public Figure also School headmaster of UJ, Richard Khumalo for Raping and Blackmailing student of UJ, Adeola Adekunle.
An arrest has been filed and we are yet to hear from him.
Stay tuned for more news on Eyewitness News."

I looked to my mom who stood there in awe.

The next thing I heard was a knock on the door.
The maid answered the door.

We heard voices from downstairs so we all ran down to see what was happening.

It was the police.

"Mr Khumalo you are under arrest for allegedly raping a student from your school. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do or say will you charged against you in the court of law." The officer said as he handcuffed him infront of my mother and I.

Just that minute my brother walked in , watching them take my father away.

"Christian?.." I called expecting him to do something.

He just walked up the stairs like nothing happened.

My mom cried after them to let my father go.
She went into her car and followed them to the station.

I didn't know what to do.
I was having a panic attack.

I went up to my room, and looked in my drawer for pills.

The container had up to 30 pills inside.
I took them all at once.

A few minutes later I fell to the ground and couldn't feel my heart beating anymore...
