Truth Hurts

Chapter 3

Investigate is he being serious? As things couldn't get worse, my mom got here panting."WHERE THE HELL ARE MY BABIES"

"Ma'am calm down we got it from here"

"Jack***, outta my way"

My mom was crazy, I knew she was, but this time legit Crazy . She pushed the officer to the ground while another

ran exclaiming"Ma'am, ma'am!"

"Kid, let's go"

What have i done..?

I couldn't believe that I was a murderer, but I wasn't, was I? It was self defense, or was it avenging my brother? Anyways, i would be in jueve until I was an adult, then jail 3 additional years, so four years, but then my brother would be decent, but I wouldn't see him in the hospital but there is also the possibility he is dead and I miss his funeral, either was I was stuck. Until i saw Gary... he was drea-ugh i mean, he could be a tremendous lawyer may help me out of jail! Why was i getting.. attracted ah, whatever probably just me happy because i am gonna leave jueve and jail behind! Maybe...

"Son, we are going to have to ask you some questions"

I have proof. That could be amazing! "Er..Sir?,"

"Yes?" He said while going through some paperwork "we have cameras for proof," I said rather quickly

"I'll tell them that, you might be able to use that at court "

Really? I could've been promising, but nooo. "What did you witnesses?" "Umm..nothing, well actually I saw my brother unconscious on the floor, when did it happen" he asked me jotting down notes. jeez it would be my word against mine. "it happened at around 7 :54 when my bus

should arrive" I said hoping he wouldn't rephrase it because I knew the time.

"Where did this happen?' He said with a puzzled glare. "it happened in my house obviously, my brother went unconscious in his room, ". "No, kid I'm talking aboutt where did you murder the" then I tuned him out, did he just call me a "murderer"? I could make sense of what he said because of the first couple of words. " um.. In my room, ". "What weapon did you use"

"I wouldn't call it a wea-,"."Damn, ok kid what did you use to kill the guy?, ". "I didn't Kill Him! I AM NOT A KILLER!"

"Kid. Listen. Calm down it's okay, nothing will happen, your still a minor, ''. 'I use a baseball bat" it felt wrong to tell him, but we had cameras I couldn't lie. He looked at me with a long stare. "Kid, one word : Lawyer. And make it a good one c'mon let's go" I heard his keys rattle, and he slid off the paperwork and immediately said "wait up kid. You need to sign these " I knew exactly why. Proof that I agreed with what I said. Interesting, he changed some of my words to help my case huh. He isn't so bad. I whispered softly "Thanks..."

First day of the new semester was a wreck, this was presumed to fix my errors not make them nastier, I felt a sort of guilt. Maybe, it wasn't the guys fault. There was a way to find out. I got home at 2'ish and my mom was waiting in the car " Baby, get in the car" she said sobbing.

"Mom, wait I need to check on something"

" ok, hurry up" she sniffled once more
