Best Kept Secret and Your Biggest Mistake (Peterick AU)

Chapter 32: The I In Lie

I can't believe everything that Dallon told me about Andy, that guy is nicer then I throught to be in here. He sacrificed his freedom for the love of his life. I need to talk to him, I want to hear it from him.

"Andy, can we talk?"

"Your talking to me right now."

"You know the whole situation on how you got here, you killing you wife and everything."

"Pete, I throught I told you to drop it."

"Yeah I know but I kinda told... Dallon to investigate on the whole thing since you didn't want to tell me anything."

"YOU WHAT?"

"I know your pissed off at me right now but I know about Matt, I know you told the cops you killed his wife, when it was actually him. Andy that is actually one of the most-"

"Stupidest mistake I ever made in my life. I regret ever meeting Matt Mixon. Now that you know you could drop everything?"

"How can it be a mistake you-"

"Pete you also gave up everything for that kid of yours Patrick, the difference between your story and mine is that when you get out of here he's is going to be by your side. Matt never loved me, He just lied and used me."

"Then why did you blame yourself?"

"I was in love and I didn't know his true feelings until I was put in here. After my parents died I met him and he became the whole world to me. I knew he was married but I didn't care. I just wanted to be with him."

"How did the whole situation with his wife happen?"

"I was at home, I was waiting for Matt to come over that day, he was taking forever so I decided to call him..."

(Flashback

"Hey Matt are we going to see each other today or-"

"Andy... Andy I did something terrible"

"Whoa, hold on are you okay where are you?"

"At mine house, can you please come over, I'm really scared I don't know what to do."

"Try to calm down I'm on my way."

Without thinking I left my house in a hurry to go running after him. When I arrived the door was open so I stepped inside, the place looked trashed. I called for him and he was in his room. When I looked inside I saw her lying on the bed with purple marks around her neck, she was already dead.

"Matt what happened? What did you do?"

"I killed her Andy, everything happened so fast... I don't know what I'm going to do."

Me being the an idiot, believed every word he said. The truth is that I never really knew why he killed her, he never told me. So I made up the whole killing her because of jealously, so everyone could stop questioning me.

"Andy baby, you need to help me... We need to do something hide the body... Or even."

"Matt you need to calm down, we can't do that we need to do the right thing."

"I don't want to go to jail baby, you don't know how bad people say it is. I wouldn't be able to be there very long. Please let's just go."

"I did want to run away with him. He was finally going to be mine and we could have started a new life together. But then I remembered my parents, the values they taught me and I wanted to do the right thing.

"We can't do that Matt, we have to do the right thing."

"I know your right, but baby you know I can't be in there... Please don't make me."

"Your not going to be... I'm going to blame myself."

"Baby, are you sure about this?"

"Yeah, I love you Matt."

"You too."

"Now that I think about it he never once told me not to do it.and he never once said 'I love you' to me. But I was so blind I didn't see it."

"And one ever found evidence that he did it?"

"Pete, they just wanted someone to blame and since I accused myself they went with it. No one bother to do the paperwork like Dallon."

"How did you find out Matt didn't love you?"

"Just before you came here, I got a visit from him. When I looked at him again, I was the most happiest person ever..."

"Sorry I didn't visit earlier."

"No it's okay I understand I'm so glad your finally here now. I'm just so happy to see you. I missed you so much."

"Andy... I can't see you anymore, I've decided to make myself a new life."

"What Matt you can't be serious I did all this because of you... I love you-"

"Don't blame me, if your in here Andy is because you wanted to be I never once told you to do this. Your the stupid kid that decided to risk it all for a love that didn't exist."

"I never once saw him after that, and I don't care to know what happened to him, I'm glad he's out of my life."

"Why didn't you say something after that?"

"What was the point, I had and I have no one waiting for me."

"That's not true, not anymore." I pulled out the recorder from my pocket. "Dallon I got it!"

"You are recording me this entire time."

I nodded. "You are going to be a free man Andy Hurley."

"I can't go back out there I have no one."

"Stop saying that, you have me, Dallon and probably even more people that would love to meet You. I know exactly were your going to be, Dallon is going to take you there and once I'm out will see each other again."
