Chapter 9 - Ava, Jail

"Ava you have a visiter"

I am handcuffed as I walk down the hall to the visiting area. I suspect to see my mum wanting to know how I'm doing, making sure I'm still together. Instead I'm graced the presence of my step dad, Frank. I haven't told Flynn yet but his dad is my step dad. I don't want him to know though. If he were to find out that it was my mother who was the reason as to why his mother spends her days curled up in a ball in her bed, the reason as to why he is stuck looking after his family. He'd kill me and our friendship would be over.

Frank is the most awful person I've ever met, he haunts me with his dickhead behaviour. My mum was cheating on my father with him. The worst part of it was though is that my father and I both knew and when'd sneak off to go sleep with him we'd both brush it off by getting something to eat or by going to see any game playing anywhere. Just something to distract us from her cheating ass. I wonder why he never left her or confronted her about it but I feel like it had to do with his feelings. In his mind if he kept denying the truth then he'd never have to face it. Which he never did. He was murdered one night when I was out at a friends party and my mum was out fucking with the dickhead. Someone broke into the house that night and killed him. The murderer is still unidentified.

The court think it is me though. They have 'evidence' which leads towards me, they just don't have a motive as to why I would do it so I haven't be convicted of the crime yet, but its only a matter of time before I do really. Honestly I don't give two fucks if I do anymore, I mean Im already sentenced to life in prison, so why not longer then. Lets just keep adding on the years.

I remember when there was a time my mother was a suspect of the his murder. She was a wreck at that time and honestly I thought it might have been her. I mean the evidence was clearly linked up to her. She had the opportunity and the motive. I kinda wished it was her really, because then I could be in a foster home, away from this fucked up family. One day the charges just dropped against her though, no reasoning to why and no one ever asked questions.

I sit on one side of a barred up wall. Security guards everywhere watching us. Couples in love surrounding us, almost making out through the bars making plenty of noise for the guards to not be able to hear our conversation. I sit facing the dickhead staring at him in the eyes. For awhile nothing is said between the two of us.

"I always knew you were a fuck up Ava, I always knew that you were capable of murder."

"What are getting at? You know I didn't kill my dad."

"In fact I do know that it wasn't you, but I do know that you'll be the one to face the charges for it."

I don't say anything in return, I just wait for him to continue speaking.

"Adam was a good man, I actually knew him before I knew your mother. I've know Adam for years."

"I told you to never fucking speak his name."

"As I was saying, Your father, and I were friends way before I met his wife. Your father was good friend of mine, one who really cared for me, more importantly though, my first wife."

I'm trying to wrap my brain around this all, his first wife is Flynn's mum. Is he trying to suggest my dad cheated on my mum first with his first wife? Because that would just be so fucked otherwise.

"He was engaged to my first wife before your mother. I was suppose to be his best man. A month before the wedding though he had to leave though for work. Fiona was lonely, she may be a strong woman, but only if she has a man supporting her. When he was away she became a wreck, me being his best friend, I was a close friend of hers then. We became closer the longer he was gone. It was the night before the wedding and he was yet to be back. I was with Fiona that night, she didn't know if he was going to be back. She was very upset."

"You fucked her didn't you?"

"Thats one way of putting it. He walked in on us and was not happy in the slightest."

"Well no fucking shit you slept with his fiancé, you prick."

"Very true. That night Fiona and I fell in love, and I also got her pregnant with our first born child, Faith. It wasn't long after then that we decided to get married and start raising our family. Finding out Faith had down-syndrome was a terrible day for us, and after that we constantly catering for her needs."

"Frank Im sorry this seems like an awesome story, maybe try writing a book on it and see if any of your readers will care but I don't give a single fuck. Alright good bye. See you in hell, dickhead."

He tries to get me to sit back down but it was too late, I was already up and heading back to my cell by the guidance of the the security guards.
