eleven;
We sat down at the couch and had some coffee. Coffee at night isn't so bad. Is he actually doing this? I don'tt want my impression of Louis. It wouldnt change.
"A year or two years ago. I knew Jake. He had a girlfriend. She was my officemate" he took a sip from his coffee. "Jake and I...were already kinda rivals...he thought i was stealing his girlfriend."
I nodded asking him to continue.
"one night. I assume he was drunk. He was angry with his girlfriend because of 'cheating'..." he gulped a big lump in his throat. "He killed her..."
"Oh..." was all i could say. I dont know if i should believe him. I dont know his point either. I can't believe Jake was that kind of psycho.
"I came by that night because his girlfriend, Jane, called me for help before he...did things." he sighed "as i came i saw Jake escaping away. I tried to help Jane. Blood everywhere. i held the gun to analyze it. Later on Jake accused me for killing her. My fingerprints were found not his, he used gloves. I had proofs everywhere. Jake was smart even though he was drunk. He knew what he was doing. We had to meet up in the court. My lawyer, Mr. Gaston Jake, Mr. Tharson, his lawyer and i"
"Mr...Mr Tharson?" my whole mind was shaking too. I didnt know what to believe. I didnt know he had something to do with whatever this is.
"Yes. He was Jake's oh so brilliant lawyer. He and Jake were too smart to put me in jail. I lost."
"You..you're a criminal?"
"Yes... During the debate though...my girlfriend died from an accident. Her name was Natalie. In case you were wondering. The guy who hitted Natalie was no other than Jake."
"He..why didnt you-"
"Tell it ? They wouldnt believe me though. No one gave Natalie justice. Theyll all think its some comeback in the debate or whatever. I needed justice for Natalie."
"im sorry...."
"dont be.."
"No..im sorry but i have to go." I said and left to my room. Louis just stared blankly at the place as i left him. Is this why Mr. Tharson sold me this? To keep him away? Is Jake even a killer? What if Louis is lying...no that cant happen.
Could it?

It was 9am in the morning and i knew Louis was still sleeping. I decided to go out today. Maybe with Marge? or just myself. I just need more time without Louis.
I picked a neon yellow post-it and wrote: "i just headed off somewhere. You'll probably want to cook your own food or you'll starve. I'll be here at"
How long would i be away? I actually want to be gone for a week. Id stay in my apartment but im too busy to pack things and all.
"10:02pm." i continued and sticked it on the fridge. I headed off to my car and left. Im not sure where im going. Maybe i should head of to Marge.

"How's Jake..?" i asked Marge after we talked about work. I didnt want to push it all in.
"What? Why are you asking me?"
"Well..why not..?"
"Well its because we all know you and Jake are a thing."
"WHAT!?" i nearly spilled out my tea.
"You know..you guys are always together and sweet..and cuddly..just so cute."
"No..no no Im single."
