PRESENT
Doc: Yolanda you didn’t kill this person. How does a knife suddenly disappear?
Me: Ivy took it when she was supposedly taking him to the hospital
Her: so I’m assuming she butchered him on the way there?
Me: I don’t know
Her: Yolanda I can’t help you if you not willing to tell me everything.
I sighed
Me: I got a call from Ivy telling me she had been arrested for murdering Triston. So I went down to the station to turn myself in
Her: I don’t understand
Me: I was the one that stabbed him doc
Her: but you didn’t kill him
Me: yes, but the evidence pointed to me
Her: Evidence could be planted Yolanda. Just because the evidence points to you doesn’t mean you are the one that committed the crime.
Me: I know that doc
Her: then why did you lie?
I shrugged
Me: because when I saw my sister I saw the little girl I grew up with and lived to protect, I couldn’t let her go down for something she didn’t do. In my mind I thought that he had died on the way there until I saw the pictures of him. Pictures of him all cut up
Her: and you still had the chance to come clean after seeing the pictures of him but you chose not to. Instead you asked your sister to skip town
Me: it was the best thing to do
She shook her head.
Her: you keep saying that you did everything you did for you daughter when in actual fact everything you did was for your ungrateful little sister. Triston was right about your sister because if she really did love you then she wouldn’t have let you take the fall for her
I sighed
Her: Your lawyer applied for an appeal to present the video they found in your house
Me: but the video shows me stabbing him
Her: and it also shows your sister butchering him up like some meat
Me: no. Ivy is not capable of doing that
Her: was she not the one who kindly offered to take him to the hospital even after she had asked that you leave him to die. Yolanda your daughter needs you.
I nodded. To hear that my daughter cries herself to sleep calling my name breaks my heart to the core. Maybe it’s about time I thought about her and nobody else
Her: your daughter needs you Yolanda. Think about her
I nodded.
