Problems

Ch. 24

Allison's POV

Everything was happening fast. It was like a storm of events, they kept coming to you and you didn't know what would happen next.

Next thing I knew, I was behind bars. At first, I was in shock, wondering why I was in a cell. Then realizing what had happened, I was in big trouble.

****

I walked around the cell, thinking of the possible ways I could get out. But I had proof!

The police guards had seen everything, they had seen when Emily's mom pointed the gun at her head! Why was I in here when I didn't even touch the gun!

My thoughts were I interrupted when one guard came and told me that someone was here. My mom stormed in, she didn't have any expression on her face. She was emotionless, like her feelings had been swept away.

"Mom!" I ran to the bars, reaching out to the bars, but she moved away. I reached out for her again, and she moved away again. Hat was wrong with her?!

"Mom! Please!" I screamed out. And then, she left. She left!

She walked away in the darkness of the hallway. Tears already running down my face, I turned around and saw her. I saw Emily's mom, what was wrong with me!

"Your gonna pay." she sneered. She took out something from her hand, it looked like a knife. I stepped back but was blocked by the cell bars.

She swiped the knife and it cut my skin, making it bleed. I clutched my stomach, feeling that pain go through my body, flow through my veins into my blood.

Then I saw Emily, she was standing in front of her mom with a smirk. Her eyes filled with venom, ready to strike me. But then I saw her holding Johnny, pointing a gun at his head.

I screamed in pain again when her mom slashed me again. I backed away, my heart pounding. What was happening?!

I woke up, sweat dripping down my forehead. I sat up, seeing that I was in a cell. I touched my stomach, seeing if there was any blood or scars, but nothing. It was just a nightmare, it felt so real.

"You finally wake up." I flinched, seeing Emily holding a knife carving something in her hand.

"What happened?"

"Oh nothing, just that you killed my mom!" She pointed the knife at me, my heart pounding like crazy.

"I didn't kill her!"

"The guards have a different story to tell." I looked at them, they had no expression, pale grimaces.

"Your gonna be in big trouble."

Months later

We were t the courthouse, people looking at me shaking their heads. I put my head down the whole time, sitting next to my lawyer who was checking the papers in his suitcase.

I saw my mom, dad, Max, Tracy, and Dylan. They had visited me before, they told me that u was going to get out, but months later, I was going to confront the jury. There the ones who have the last choice, wether I stay, or leave.

It had begun, and I was nervous. Several people came up, ones that were protecting me, and others who wanted to see me die in a prison cell.

Then the guards came up, and I knew that someone had paid them to lie. To say that I was the one who shot Emily's mom, that I was doing it in revenge. And then, I remembered my biggest mistake. I had touched the gun, my fingerprints were in it, that made me guilty when it wasn't true.

Emily's lawyer had brought out papers saying that my fingerprints were on the gun, meaning that I had grabbed the gun from her and shot her.

The judge looked at everything, the papers, the explanations that people gave. And then, he said that word. That word that I knew was my nightmare.

"Guilty!" he yelled. A tear escaped my eye, the guards took hold of me and guided me to the doors. My parents were clinging on to me, trying to get me out of the hold of the guards.

But I knew, that this was my fate. A fate that I hated.

Sorry this chapter is short, I'll be working on the next and probably will be long. I'm working on it.

Question: What do you think will happen to Allison?

Bonus question: Do you think that her dad has had enough? And who paid the guards to lie?
