Friends, Maybe More

Chapter 33

I started crying but I was wondering why they called Harry rather than me.  But that didn't matter now.  I'm alone now I will be living alone now just with my Lily.

"What did he do and how long will he be in jail?"  I questioned the officers

"There is no easy way to say this but your dad he um.. killed your mother."

I started sobbing right there.  I can't even imagine why my dad would ever do that.  He's such a nice guy and he never is around her so how did he even get to her?

I lost my mother too.  I mean I haven't seen her in years but I would still love to see her but I can't now because she is gone now and forever.

"How did he do that and why and how did he get to her?"

"He stabbed her while she was watching her shows he came up behind her and stabbed her right in her back.  He has some brain condition where he needs severe help because he is very violent but I guess you haven't seen it and we don't think he has done anything this bad.  He drove to your mothers house and grabbed the emergency house key your mother always kept under the mat and opened the door.  He walked into the kitchen and grabbed a very sharp knife and went behind the couch where she was sitting and I think you know what happens next."

I was crying the most I have in my entire life and I still can't believe that he would do anything like that.

Harry was standing about 3 feet from me and I ran his way and he wrapped me in a long warm hug.

Over his shoulder he whispered to me "It's going to be okay, I promise."

I didn't say anything but I didn't let go of our hug for a long while.

I stepped out of Harry's arms and turned around to the officers and asked them one more question.

"How long will he be in prison?"  I asked with fear in my eyes.  I was fearful because if he was going to be let out pretty early then he could really hurt me but if he wasn't ever let out then I would never see him again.

"Well he is going to court tomorrow and so far he has 22 years in prison so he will be very old when he gets out or he will die in jail.  But the judge is debating to give him the death penalty."

With that I ran out of the office and just sat on the curb with my face in my hands.  I hear Harry calling my name and I'm just too upset to turn around.

I can tell that Harry just sat down next to me but I still didn't look up.

He put his arm around me and pulled me in close so my head was in his neck.

"It's going to be okay Katie."
