Court.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
One. Two. Three.
"The first time I met Wesley, I was five years old. He had come over to play with Jack, they would run around outside pushing and shoving each other into the ground. It was barbaric but that's how boys learn to play. Rough, violent, ruthless.
Boys show their violence, they don't hide the animalistic aggression coursing through them. Girls hide it. We're just as vicious, as ruthless, even more so maybe. We're just smarter about it. We're terrors, we can hide behind the sickly sweet smiles, flirting our way out of anything and everything.
We're smarter, we think with our heads– boys don't. Boys can be manipulated. Show some skin, giggle, put out and you can get anything you want from them. They're easy.
We're their downfall. Girls. They can't help it. Show a man a woman and they'll go weak.
Men like to think they control all and they come up with everything but they don't.
What good would a boy be without a girl behind him telling him what to do?
What good would Wesley have been if I hadn't convinced him to kill Liv? To drag the serrated knife deep into her tanned neck?
I might have loved Wesley, but he never loved me.
So I hurt them both.
Honestly, I can't believe it worked. He was foolish, believed in me, believed I was the quiet good girl that I was a year ago. Maybe deep down I still am, I don't think so though. Liv ruined me, made me what I am. She's a bitch, she always will be a bitch. I'm glad she's gone. She ruined lives, she ruined my life. I could never have Wesley with her still here. I could never be the most popular with her here.
She ruined my life.
I had to do what I did. Don't you see that? It wasn't my fault it was hers!"
"No further questions your honor."
"What are you doing? You can't handcuff me I didn't do it. Wesley did it! I didn't touch he– get off of me!"
