Secrets *WIP*

Words. They hurt. They can destroy someone. They can never be taken back even if you don't mean them. So the number one advice I can tel you is to think before you speak. Think very carefully before you blurt out something you know you will regret. Say it as many times as you want to in your head before saying it. The words you say will haunt you for the rest of your life.

Carter is in jail for a murder he did not do. His been gone for a week now. School has been horrible everyone stopped looking to me as a killer. Yeah I should be relieved right? Well I'm not. An innocent person was blamed for something they didn't do.

I laid in bed that Friday night not wanting to do anything. Then Betty called me.
"Hey Betty what's up."

"You have to go see Carter, Kevin told me that he confessed."

I quickly sat up in my bed. "What?!"

"Yeah his seeing a judge on Monday."

"No he didn't do it, you know that right?"

"Of course I do we all saw the messages, you need to go see him."

"I can't I'm grounded."

"What why?"

"I have no clue I'm locked in my room."

"Is your mom at home?"

"No, but she took my car keys so I can't go anywhere."

"That's fine figure out a way out and I'll be there in 15 minutes."
I told okay and hung up quickly.

I look in my mirror and see that I was complete mess. My hair was in a messy side ponytail. I had literally no makeup on and I was wearing sweats and a long T-shirt. I had 15 I looked down at my watch 12 minutes now to get ready.

I let my hair down and it looked awful I finally decided to put half up and half down. Which didn't look much better. Now I have 9 minutes. I go to my closet to find a pretty yellow shirt and a black skirt. Did I mention that yellow is my color and half of my shirts and dresses are yellow? Well if I didn't know now you do. I quickly get dressed and look down at my watch 5 minutes.

Great. I have 5 minutes to do my makeup. I skip most of my face makeup and just do some conclear for my eyes and some highlight. Then I just do some eyeliner and mascara. I still looked like trash. Shame. But I couldn't do anything about that since I only had 3 minutes left. It's not like it's a date or anything.

I was about to climb out of when I get a instant headache. "Oh god not now" I let out a screech. I run over to my dresser and grab my glasses, ugh I hate my glasses so much.

I make it down as soon as Betty is pulling up.

She looked over to me and smile "you look nice to go see your man in jail."

"He is not my man."

"Well he wants to be."

The thought of us dating made a smile spread on my face. "Okay back to the task at hand."

"Yeah okay, so I got a call from Kevin after school. His dad said the Carter confessed to killing Marcine out of anger and jealousy. Then he said there would a news interview on Sunday and he will be going to court on Monday."

"Oh god we have to get him out of there," my hands griped her door as tight as I could.

"Ok Lieah you need to chill out."
She gestured to my hand gripping her door. I gave her a soft nod and breath in and out slowly.
