Picking up where I started.

The truth comes with a price.

It's been a week and I been a church, Wednesday and Sunday. That was all I needed to finally decide,I was gonna turn myself in. I was gonna turn us in,and that was that.

I learned in church that murdered were forgiven as long as they gave their life to Christ,I hadn't fully given him mine yet but I knew it was a start. All I wanted was forgiveness for doing the devils work. I also learned that you still get your consequences,regardless to being forgiven.

I drove him from work today,had me a cup of tea. Cleaned my house before my momma came home,and called my friend Andrew over to hang out.

I called him...to hang out.

I called the police too, and I told them everything. While my mom was at work,I made her some food. So that she could come home relax,and all she had to wonder was where I was at. Or that maybe I was still at work,I heard a knock.

I looked over at the door and I let my homie in,I gave a small smile before dabing him up.

"What's up man?" He seemed all happy,how could he be happy?

"Non much, why are you all happy?" Any minute now.

He turns to me and smirks." We not gonna get caught."he walked to my fridge and got a soda.

I stare at my shoe then back at him."you think so?"I try to keep going.

He nods."I have faith."

Faith. Great start.

"It's not eating you up inside?" I was concerned.

He shook his head no in response.

I take a deep breath."speaking of faith,what do you think about God?"

Andrews face dropped real fast."awe man don't start with that g.o.d crap."

"I'm serious." I stare.

He took a moment before speaking."don't tell me your mom got you into all this?" He paused."ok look,I believe there is a high source yes,but what people make it seem like today.no."

"Man,if only you could see." I start to get teary eyed,I turn away so he wouldn't see me.

He frowns before laughing."oh come on man don't do this to me now."

"EDWARD BOZMEN AND ANDREW SCOTT, COME OUT THE HOUSE SLOWLY!"

The police.

I look at the door scared as ever,I turn my gaze back to Andrew.

"Oh..come on come on we can escape through the back!" He tried to drag me by the shirt but I shoved him off.

"Face it! It's over man,we did a wrong thing we gotta go." I say with a calm unknowing tone.

He stared at me." Nah,nah YOU did a wrong thing. YOU pulled the trigger!" He says before running to the back door only to be met with police officers.

"ANDREW!" I yell to him,I followed him toward the back to be faced with them too.

" okay so your Andrew,the one who might not cooperate huh?" The officer says.

Andrew frowned and faced me."you told on us man?!" He got aggressive.

"Yes,I had to."I whispered the last part.

Andrew started laughing, this wasn't the time or place to be laughing but he was. We had guns pointed at us but he was laughing?

"I ain't gonna take this." He plainly said.

"Andrew just stand down man,come on." I try to calm him down.

He didn't listen,in fact what he did next.I'll never forget,I wish he hadn't moved.

He looked at me." You believe in God now right?"

I nod my head quickly." We can turn to him together man come on." We both had our hands up scared for our lives,I'm starting to think I was the only one scared now.

"Pray for me." I was confused,what did he mean?

Andrew drew his gun,but before he could pull the trigger. He was shot.

Shot,in the head. He fell to his knees and all I could think about was that one verse I can't seem to even remember. That verse that all Christians seems to know,something about every knee bowing. I wish it was only for God,but it wasn't.

My brother,my friend. Is not dead.

"NOOO!!!!" I scream as an officer takes me and puts me in the car.
All I could do was scream,all I could do was cry. All I could do, was pray.

Even though,you decide to finally do right after doing wrong. Even after God himself has forgiven you,that does not mean you go without punishment. The truth,comes with a price.
