I was on my way to the office, it's weird to saying it. I am steal excited to work in Thompson Inc. it was my dream to work there. A month ago I apply for internship in the company but it was decline, until three weeks ago when I got a call saying that they accepted and to start right away. It was really weird how they decline and then suddenly gave me the job, but I just ignored it.

I finally enter the building and gave the coffee to Marry, she was my only friend here, she was older than me I was only 18 she was 22 years old but she treated me like a sister. Sense I left Virginia and left my drunk mother and drug dealer father, she's practically my only family and I know her for only three weeks but in those three week she already knows me so well. And also she's the only person who never cared about my physical appearance like when I was in school that all of them call me fatty. I never was like all the girls in my school, skinny, almost all of them models. It was impossible for me to become a model I was almost 200 pounds.

"Good morning Marry" I said excitedly 

"Good morning Alena, how was your weekend?"

"Horrible, my neighbors are so loud and I know that I shouldn't be complaining cause I only pay like 80 a month, but it is still annoying"

"Yeah Alena, but that place is horrible, it's literally a kitchen and that's it. You sleep on the floor Alena, you know I can help you" she look at me really worried and that's why I love her so much, she truly cared for me not like my parents that dint give the time of day. At least they took me to school and I actually graduated, they never went to my graduation but still at least I got my diploma and thanks to that am here right now.

"I know Marry and I love you for that but I really want to do this on my own I don't want you to take care of another person. Nick needs your full attention, his only three and I have a job..."

"Yeah working at Walmart and at night, Alena am worried about you, when was the last time you had a good night sleep? You have your internship here from 9 to 2 and they don't pay you and at 3 you are at Walmart until like 4 in the morning"

I sigh "I know but I think they are giving me a job, a have been doing pretty good and you know that the boss always says to me that in no time I will be working here."

"I hope so because I really don't like that you are not sleeping"

I hug her "Thank you but I have to get back to work, see you at lunch time?"

"Yeah, I brought lasagna for us"

Sense I had a tight budget Marry wanted to help me on the food so she always cooks for me, she makes me lunch and dinner.

I wave good bye and enter the elevator, my office was on the top floor with the big boss but my real boss was Mister Peter he was even nicer. He always told me that I did a good job that he was considering making work full-time and with pay. And I was really exited finally I can stop working at Walmart and have a really job.

All my life I have work hard, I was the smarted kid on school, I graduated with honors and I was accepted to almost all the university I apply. But I just did it for fun because I knew that most of them cost a lot of money and I was already planning to come to New York and leave my parents. And if Mister Peter gives me the job all my hard work for years, everything will pay off"

The elevator doors open and when I enter there were police man there talking to Mister Peter, he look sad and the Big boss was Next to him I have never seen him. I know I work in his floor but he never comes out he comes early and goes almost at six pm so I never see him. And I am glad because he look really mad he look like he wanted to murder someone.

When the elevator doors close everybody look in my direction and the big boss look madder than before if that's even possible.

"It's her" he said pointing at me, two police men came to me and... they are handcuffing me.

I started panicking and look at Mister Peter "What going on? Why are they cuffing me?" tears were falling from my eyes.

"You have the right to remain silent. If you do say anything, what you say can be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult with a lawyer and have that lawyer present during any questioning..."

I saw Mister Peter walking away with the saddest face ever, he was always a happy person I consider him like my father and he treated me like a daughter.

"I dint do anything, let me go"

They took me down the elevator "Why are you arresting me?"

When the door of the elevator open everybody freeze and look at me, but I didn't really cared I was looking for Marry. When I finally saw her she was talking with some workers until she look at me. I could see shock on her face and she ran to me.

"Alena what it's going on" she look at the officer who was taking me to... I think the police car "where are you taking her let her go"

The officer stop and look at her "If you want to help your friend I would start by looking for a good lawyer because things are not looking good for her"

"Where are you taking her? I'm going with her"

The police laughs and looks at her again "I doubt you want to go where she's going"

OMG are they putting me in jail?

Marry glair at the police officer then look at me "don't worry Alena I will look for the best lawyer"

I was steal crying, how can this be happening to me I was doing great and now they are putting me in the car where they put criminals, but am not a criminal I haven't done anything.

The police officer close the door and Marry was still there arguing with the officer.

"I demand to know why you are taking her"

The officer look at her a little frustrated "Look darling, I'm only here to take her to the station why don't you look for her lawyer and find out there"

He seat in the passenger's seat and started driving I look at Marry from the window and I could see her running to her car.

Please God don't let them take me to jail I haven't done anything.

....

It was my court day and it wasn't looking good for me they apparently found 10 billion dollars in my bank account, but I would never do that but that wasn't a good argument. And that's not all they found, there was a video of someone in a computer in which in that computer apparently was where they make the transfer and apparently they put it in my account. But that wasn't me I never did that and you couldn't see the persons face clearly how can you put the blame on me if you can't even see the persons face.

But I could see that the judge was buying all of it. And I could see the big boss Thompson was seating there with a satisfying look. I hated him right now, he accuse me of something I dint do and am about to go to jail, when the real criminal is out there living free.

It was already the judge decision and I was really nervous I can't go to prison, the judge look at me and then at the papers "with all the evidence and declaration we have had today we declare the suspect...

Please god, please god, please god

"Guilty"

I could hear Marry behind me crying and I couldn't feel anything I was steal shock, when everything became clear... am going to be in jail for ten years. That's when I started crying hard, this can't be happening to me not now am only 18 am supposed to be living not going to jail and for a crime I dint do.

The same officer that drag me to the car the day they accuse me, took me to my cell.

He look at me with pity and I don't know why because he's the one how brought me here "Am sorry... I know you're innocent"

That got me by surprise I only nod and sat at the bed, my new bed... for 10 years. I felt hate inside me, I hate Thompson. When I get out of here am going to make sure he loses everything that he loves...

Am going to make sure he pays for what he did to me.
