38. So Much For Goodbyes

Nobodies POV
3 Weeks Later...

Rebecca sits silently at the stand next to the judges seat. Trying to avoid the eye contact of the man questioning her infront of the full court room.

"Answer the question Ms. Miles. Did Mr. Daniel Alexander kill the two victims." His high pitched snobby voice echos.

I look up at him in disgust.

"Yes." I finally say.

It hurt like hell do this but I have to. The man turns to the judge with a triumphant smile.

"No further questions your honour." he returns to his seat.

My eyes scan over the room, and once again my eyes fall into his. The man that killed one of my bestfriends. The man that hid such a dark past. The man that saved my life.

The man I was so undoubtedly inlove with..

He looks back at me with a sincere, promising look.

"You may return to your seat Ms. Miles." the judge says without showing emotion.

I walk to my seat and as I pass him, my mind raced back to that day.

~~

"Oh god... I killed him." his voice sounds quietly.

I just lay there with tears running down my face.

"P-please get me out of h-here." I stutter.

Shortly after I say that I see Daniel rush to me and unlock all the restraints.

I am so weak, but still manage to jump up and scoot as far from him as possible.

My eyes wonder to the bodies on the floor. I immediately get a sick feeling in my stomach and I turn away.

"Rebecca.." he steps closer.

"No!" I yell, "get away from me!"

"Please Rebecca."

I rush past him as fast as I could. But he doesnt follow. He just lets me go and mutters something so quietly Im not sure I heard it correctly.

"I love you..."

But I didnt stop. No way was I going to stop.

Fortunately for me, the police were pulling into the drive way as I just made it off the porch.

~~

I never got a chance to talk to Daniel again. I actually haven't seen him since that night. But now, I cant stop looking at him. I cant stop the feelings I have towards him.

I didnt know it then. But I do now. Especially as the verdict said the next sentance.

"We charge the defendant Guilty for the murder of Yasmine Summerhald, and Derrek Smith."

Loud sighs and gasps erupt from the victims families as a single tear falls from my eyes.

"Mr. Alexander I sentance you to the harshest punishment aloud. 30 years in a maximum security prison with no probation. Thank you, court is adjourned."

And with that, Daniel rises and looks at me for the very last time before he disappears behind the doors. So much for goodbyes, I suppose.

I slowly rise and make my way toward the exit. Finally going home, and resting. Well... Trying to anyways.

Ive learned a lot of things in the past year.

You cant really trust anyone.

Love is so blind it hurts.

I miss my old life. The one before I met Daniel. The one before I thought I knew what love was. The one before I woke up in the middle of a murderers visions.

But now its time to grow. Time to move on..

Maybe I'll leave the state. The country even.

All the possibilities rush through my head on how I can better myself. But in reality. I need to take baby steps.

And maybe one day I will be reunited with Daniel, or maybe Ill move on and have a house with a loving family.

Unfortunately, all I can do is wait.

Wait and see what the future will bring..

THE END
