To kill a mocking girl

Sane

I clutched the metal bars. It was as if they were laughing at me. They were the only thing between me and him. I called out for him. He didn't even look. I know what they all think of me. I'm that crazy girl who murdered her own family and everyone she loved. But I didn't. And now I'm stuck here.

"You know you can come out," the worker said. I looked at his badge. Mike. "No thanks," I reply pushing my self deeper into the corner of the room. "Whatever you say," he says as he makes his way out. I don't want to talk to anyone except for him. It's been a week and he hasn't come back again. He probably believes everything they say. So I sit like this for minutes, hours, days at a time. Finally, I feel something touch my shoulder. "I know you didn't do it," a hurried voice whispers in my ear. I snap my head. It's Ash, my best friend. I smile for the first time in what seems like an eternity. I reach up and hug him tight, never wanting to let go. "what are you doing here?" I ask," I thought you were still in New York,".

"They let me leave early,"

"Oh my god. I'm so glad you're here! we can't exactly talk though," I say motioning towards the security cameras and the worker standing a feet away. "Meet me at the drop off at 9," she says in a scarce whisper that even I could barely hear. I nod and give him one last embrace. "Bye," I say through tears. he nods but I can tell that he's keeping in tears. I crawl back into my corner .

I look at the clock. it's 8:30. I get up and make my way to the window, taking out my bobby pin. I put it in the lock and with a few jiggles I hear a faint click and push the window open. Putting my bobby pin back in my hair, I jump out and land in a garden. Then I run off to the drop off. It's a cliff near here that we would all used to hang out at 2 years ago. We stopped because someone fell off and died. I trench through the layers of fallen maple leaved and sit at the edge of the cliff. Normally I would be way too much of a chicken to do so but right now I couldn't care less if my life stopped. "How are you," a voice behind me whispers. I turn around and run into Ash's embrace. I bury my face in his shoulder and I instantly feel safe. I dig into his wool sweater and hug him tighter.

"I'm so sorry I had to leave you,"

"Have you talked to Luke?"

"Yeah,actually, I have."

"Does he think I'm guilty? That I belong there?"

"He does believe that you need some help. He thinks your better off there," he explains. I can't believe it. After everything we've been through. he thinks that I killed my family. I let out a wail of despair and Ash pulls me back into him. "Shhhh, it's going to be ok,"

"No it's not!"

"Tell me everything,"

So, that's exactly what I do. I tell him everything that happened the night that my life fell apart all because of a jealous little school girl willing to do anything for revenge.
