Hidden Truth (EDITING)

Chapter 6: Confessions

Vanessa's POV

I never really was a determined girl. I was actually pretty doubtful of myself. Ask anyone, they'll tell you. But when I heard the news about Taylor... something jumped out inside of me. Like I was rebirthed into this determined badass girl who would do anything to protect the people she loved.

*Friday 5PM, Hawthorne Household*

I was pretty shaken up from what happened yesterday. I still couldn't believe I was interrogated for my dead girlfriends murder case. After a while I decided to text Megan what happened

Megan 💖
Me: Hey, can we talk?

Megan: Sure, what's up?

Me: There's something I need to tell you...

Megan: What is it?

Me: A police officer showed up at my house.

Megan: WHAT?! WHEN?

Me: Yesterday.

Megan: Why didn't you tell me?!

Me: I'm sorry, I was shaken up after that

Megan: What happened? What did you tell them?

Vanessa: Everything, I told them that I wished she was dead and that I was the last one to see her alive.

Megan didn't text back for awhile i started to get worried.

Me: Hellooo? Earth to Megan

Me: Are you there?

Me:???

Megan: Vanessa...

Me: Yes?

Megan: You weren't the last one to see Taylor alive...

Vanessa: What? What are you talking about?

Megan: I decided to go see her after I pulled that prank on her

Megan's POV (Taylor's House) 10 minutes after Vanessa left

*KNOCK KNOCK*

Taylor: Ugh, who is it this time?

She opens the door and she looks at me disgusted

Taylor: What the hell do you want?

Megan: Just to give you a special message.

Taylor: Look, if you are looking to cause trouble, I don't need it. So just leave

Megan: Not before I tell you this. You have made the past few months a living hell for me. And you made it even worst by telling Vanessa what I did. You don't deserve to be living. I could kill you right now and no one would even care.

Taylor: LEAVE. ME. THE HELL ALONE!

She slams the door on me and I laugh.

Megan 💖

Megan: That's what happened.

Me: Why didn't you tell me this?

Megan: Look, i'm sorry ok. I wasn't thinking.

Me: You need to tell the police.

Megan: NO! They could probably pin me to this. I'm not going to jail.

Me: Meg you need to tell the police. I know this doesn't look good but all I know is, if you keep this a secret. It might come out one way or another

Megan: Is that a threat?

Me: No! Im just saying. Make the right decision.

Megan: No, my answer is final. I'm not risking ANYTHING to go to jail.

Me: You're making a big mistake.

Megan: I know what I'm doing

*End of Messages*

Megan knew what she was doing was wrong. I couldn't let her just do this, it's selfish. I slump myself on my bed and I look on my night stand. Officer Hayes' number. I easily hesitated but then I picked up the card and started dialing

Meanwhile 1 Hour Later ( Megan's POV)

I still couldn't believe that Vanessa wanted me to tell the police what I did. How selfish can she be? Sometimes I wonder why I'm still her friend...She must really want me to end up in jail.

I was just about to take a nap before I heard a knock on the door downstairs. I left my room to see who was there. To my surprise... it was an officer.

Megan's Thought: OMFG! WHY IS THERE A FREAKING POLICE OFFICER AT MY DOOR?! DAMNIT! This is probably Vanessa's doing. THAT BITCH! HOW COULD SHE DO THIS TO ME. I SWEAR IF I GET IN TROUBLE IM GONNA--

  My fatal thought was washed away when my mother called me to come downstairs..

Megan: COMING MOM!

I dash downstairs to meet this officer. And for what it was worth... he was kinda hot. A chiseled chin, muscular body and very, VERY handsome. He could lock me up any day.

Officer Hayes: Hello Megan, I'd like to have a few words with you...

Megan: S-sure, come and sit down

I bring him into my living room area and we talk.

Hayes: So you must know why I'm hear correct?

Megan: Yes... I DIDN'T MEAN TO I SWEAR IT! I WAS ONLY JOKING!

Officer Hayes was looking at me in disappointment

Hayes: So you're admitting that you did prank Taylor, threatened to kill her, AND harass her.

I look down and tears start to fall down my cheeks

Megan: Y- yes it's true. Please don't take me to jail... PLEASE!

Hayes: Well, im sorry Ms.McCullough but I have to arrest you for harassment.

Megan: PLEASE NO! DON'T DO THIS! IM BEGGING YOU PLEASE!

Officer Hayes tells me to put my head behind my back. He handcuffs me and pushes to my front door. I look at my mother one last time. The anger, the disappointment in her eyes made me feel worse and worse. Then I realized... this wouldn't have happened if Vanessa would've kept her mouth shut. Once I get out of jail. I knew exactly what i wanted to do first.

Megan's Thought: Get ready V... I'm coming for you...
