The Road

Crash....Bang!

ADAMS POINT OF VIEW

It all happened so fast. I didnt see anything. I just went out for a late night run. And all i hear is some sort crash. The next thing i know, there is a girl lying on the road with a puddle full of blood right next to her head. I saw no car. And i immediately called the ambulance.

Atleast thats the story that i told the cops.

You don't want to know what really happened. Apparently the girl was the mayor's daughter and her name was Kelly. No one knew that the mayor had a daughter until that day because he wanted her to have a normal life.

If getting murdered is normal then i dont wanna see abnormal.

I killed her. I know that you guys obviously knew it was me, but still expected to be someone shocking like the mayor, her father. Sorry to disappoint you...but i did it. And now I have to live with myself knowing what I did.

You can't even come close to imagining the guilt and pain of taking someone's life away. Its like sticking a burning hot iron down your throat.

Now...let me tell you the story of what happened. Seeming as if you are probrably gonna read the whole book in one minute to find out. Let me spare you the pain.

I was working the late shift since Zenobia(a random employee that you dont need to know anything about) was sick and my shit boss made me (out of the 534 other people that could have done it) work on her shift. After that, it was late at night and there was mist on the road so I could not really see where I was driving. Then she
(you know who, dont act stupid) came out of no where and decided "Oh, I'm just gonna jump infront of this car, just to see what will happen."

I was never really a fan of a women's mind.

Anyway. I hit her, by accident ofcoarse. And so I quikly jumped out of the car to see if she was okay. Spoiler alert: She wasnt. I was panicking. My first thought was to call the police or ambulance, but I knew that in my mind that I was going to jail. The police was gonna see this as a murder. I just couldn't do it. I had to think on my feet, what to do? I called the ambulance and told them, over the phone, that her head was bleeding and she had no pulse. While they were driving here, I got into my car and drove deep into the woods. Like about 15km from where the body was.

Stupidly, I didnt think my plan through and relized now i have to walk 15km back to the body. How smart am I? I decided to rather drive home and fix up my car, to make it look as if nothing happened to it.

Assuming the ambulance already got her, I chose to stay home and pray for the best. I didn't even get any sleep that night. Adrenaline works much better than Red Bull. If you ever go for a sleepover and get tired, just go outside and murder someone. It works like a charm.

The next morning, the door bell rang. My heart pounded like a drum. The sweat from my head  was enough to fill a pool. I opened the door as calmly as I could. "Hey Adam" Daniel said. Daniel is my neighbour. You know how ever neighbourhood has a cheerful, yet annoying person who always wants to talk to you. Now that's Daniel.

I felt so relieved. It was that feeling when you're late for class but the teacher hasn't arrived yet either.

"Listen, I have a dead rat smell in my house and I was wondering if you know a way to remove it?" He asked.

"Why??...i dont know anything about a dead smell. Nope not me. I would never kill anything!" I stupidly said.

"Well sorry I asked then" he said uncomfortably.

I closed the door and walked back to the kitchen. For all the stupid people out there reading this, I did actually have sugar. I made myself a cup of coffee and sat down on my leather couch to watch the football game.

I heard someone knocking. "I told you already Daniel!!, I dont have sugar!!!" I shouted. Since I knew it was him, I didnt bother to stand up to answer the door.

"POLICE...OPEN UP" someone shouted.

I didnt know what to do. Do i run away?? Do i confess?? Maybe jail isn't that bad?? I heard their spaghetti is amazing!

"COME OUT OR I BREAK THE DOOR DOWN!" someone shouted again.

I walked towards the door. Every step felt painful. I knew that I could have ran, but i didnt. Maybe it was the guilt, maybe I just like to do the right thing....I dont know what it was, but I didn't run. As I opened the door, I relised this would most likly be the last time I ever see this place again.

"Sir, I don't have all day you know, I have places to be." The cop said. My eyes were shut by the time the door was opened. I didnt want to open it because I thought it would be someone scary with lots of tattoos and over-gelled hair...but it wasnt. When I opened my eyes, I saw the most beautiful women I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of pretty women. Her brown eyes were like a pool that I could dive right into. Her hair was the colour of the most gorgeous hazelnut. And her brown skin was glowing like an angle. She could be a model for Woolworths.

"Umm, Are you Adam??" She asked

"Yes, and who would you might be??" I replied with a grin on my face

"I'm Officer KD, you're under arrest for the murder of Kelly de Klark, anything you say may be and will be used against you in a court of law."

We walked towards the car and as I got in, I could smell coffee and dounuts. I thought cops only ate these things in the movies. But I guess I was wrong. "So where are you going?" I asked her. "To take you to jail." She replied.

"I meant after you drop me off. You said that you have places to be...what are those places??" I asked

"Wow, you really won't shut up, will you?" She asked sarcastically. "If you must know, I have a date to get to." She said. "Your lying" I replied. "Excuse me?! " She shouted.

I knew that she was lying to me. "You're a very messy person so you leave your things lying around, just like you left your wallet and drivers licence here at the back seat. Just by looking at your ID, it says that you're an engineer. That's why you filled your car with a dounut and coffee smell. But I know that only cops from movies, eat those things" I proudly commented.

"You're smarter than you look, Adam" KD responded.

"The only thing I dont understand is, How did you know that i killed her??" I asked

KD told me that she was there that night of the accident and witnessed everything ,so as a favour, she didn't tell the cops but in return I need to help her with a very special project. I was thinking of jumping right out of this car as I heard the word special project.

"What is this special project??" I asked

"Something you only need to know later" she mysteriously replied. No matter how beautiful she was, I honestly didn't want anything to do with it! But what choice did I have? I could have gone to jail for life!!!

"From now on, if people ask what your name is, you say that its David" she told me.

I agreed and she carried on driving to who knows where. She stopped infront of the nearest Target store and told me to get out with her. She said that she was going to show me something.

"Listen, in this boot...there are gonna be snacks that will provide us for 14 days maximum. When I show you then don't gasp. People will start to stare at us!" She commanded.

When she opened the boot, we saw something that we were both shocked to see!
