kyles pov-
I was sittingvin the passenger seat as we pulled up to my old house. a fearful storm raged outside police tape blowing in the wind. a small tear fell from my eyes. why would he do this he gets what he got he has court tomaro snd I have to go. I stepped out of the car the wind battling me to stay in. I walked over to the door ripping the tape away. I oped the door with a loud creek. me and cris walked in I looked around I saw the blood staining the carpet. I felt sick I ran upstairs to my room and collapse crying. cris soon appeared behind me rubbing my back.
"its ok baby its ok just grab your clothes" I nodded and stood up with my knees shaking badly. I packed all I could I handed him the suitcase.
"c-can you just...give me a minute alone?" he looked at me and smiled softly
" are you sure your going to be ok?" I nodded and he walked out. I walked into my parents room taking in the sentvone last time. I noticed a piece of paper on the bed I opened it. it read
dear kyle.
I know I have been a horibke father I know that ehat I am about to do us unthinkable but I have my reasons. I was trying to make you stronger by beating you....I was so so wrong to do so...I know you wont forgive me but I want you to forget.
love dad.
tears sprung to my eyes I crumpled up the piece of paper and put it in my pocket. I ran outside slamming the dorr I jusmped into the jeep. I was having a panic attack cris grabbed my hand.
"baby look at me" I looked at him with tears running down my face
"its going to be ok listen to my voice breathe" I sniffled calming down slightly. I pulled the letter out of my pocket and handed it to him. he looked confused and read it.
the next day
"kyle its going to be ok they just want to talk to you" I nodded and headed into the court room. everyone was sitting and chattering. my dad sat in a orange suit and handcuffs. I walked over to the table I was assigned and sat down. ten minutes later I heard the security gaurd say "all rise for the honorable judge alex"
I stood up and so did everyone else then we sat down when he did. "today we are here to decude the fate of steven kibs he has been prosecuted for 1st degree murder and attemted murder we will hear from the sun then from a whitness kyle kibs please come forward and give your statement" I got up slowly and walked to the stand. the gaurd walked up to me with a bible. "put your hand on the bible" I did as I was told " do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?" .
"yes" with that he went to his spot. the judge turned tord me and asked.
"son may you tell us what you saw and what happend?" I nodded my head.
"me and my fr- boyfriend walked into my house and my d- steven stood there with a knife lodged into my moms stomic..."I took a deep breath and continued " he pulled it out and looked at us my boyfriend pushed me out of the door and locked it....I freaked out and called 911...when they got there my boyfriend opened the door and the cops were in the wat so I couldnt see what happend but he got stabbed in the stomic to" after that they took crus' s statement.
40 minutes later
the judge cleared his throat.
"I sentence steven kibs to 25 to life in prison for 1st degree murder and attempted murder" I got teary I didnt know how to react. the too him away and cris drove me home in silence.
