First Love, The Sinner & The Saint

The Interveiw

Sofia

I was taken down a long corridor, there was a police woman in front of me and two police men behind me and I thought to myself 'How am I meant to put this past year into words.' I didnt have long to think about it because the police woman stopped at a big white door. 'this is it' I thought to myself.

I was sat at the table, the police office who's name was Officer Pluto asked me "Would you like a lawyer Miss Rose" I hadn't even thought about that.
"How much is one of them?" I asked.
"A lot" Said Officer Pluto.
"Yeah, No, I don't wanna one of them then." I was broke from committing the murder in the first place.
"Do you want me to call your parents?" She asked me.
'no way!' I thought but instead I just said "My parents are dead."

The silly woman looked like she felt sorry for me, I had just confessed to 5 counts of murder, and she felt sorry for me? Imagine if she knew the whole story.

My interview began. Officer Davis was the first one to ask questions.

"Interview commencing at 2:05pm. Please could you tell me your full name."
"Sofia Louise Rose." This was an easy question.
Officer Pluto jumped in. "And your age please"
"16"
Officer Davis spoke again "Can you tell us, for the sake of the tape, why you are here Miss Rose"
There it was... "Yeah sure, I killed a few people I guess."
Pluto was doing bad cop. "You guess? Did you act alone?"
I wasn't in a great mood. " Well do I look like the type of girl that has friends? Of course I acted alone."
Davis piped up "you confessed to the murder of Everly Grey, is that correct?"
Okay. So we are repeating ourselves now. "Uhuh"

Pluto didn't look convinced. "that's not possible, according to our records."
What did she mean "what? How?" I asked.
Davis looked at his notes. "Everly Grey was kicked repeatedly in the face, this was by a sized 11 mens shoe."

I panicked.. shit, what do I say now!

"Oh yeah, I have big feet." Was all I could say.
With that both officers looked down at my feet, neither looked impressed.

Pluto rolled her eyes. "your feet like about a size 4 Miss Rose."
"yeah, I borrowed someone elses shoes."
Pluto carried on the interview "Okay. on to Fiona Keys, you confessed to her murder too?"
I didn't have time for this. "Yes I did. because I killed her."
Davis interjected. "Miss Keys was strangled."
I knew Jaxon had strangled her, he told me. "I'm aware, I was the one who did it."
Davis frowned. "Miss Keys was strangled by huge hands."

I hid my hands under the table.  I had nothing to say at this point.
Pluto tried to interrogate me, I was being very difficult. "Why are you wasting our time Miss Rose." She asked, sighing frustratedly.
I just wanted to go to prison. "I'm not, I told you it was me."
Davis chimed in "Tell us in your own words how you can prove it was you."

Well who else's fucking words was I going to use!
I sat for a minute and thought about it, Annablle's necklace. Shit, Annabelle was still in prison for them murders. This was it; my way in. I was TRYING to get myself thrown in prison and these two idiots were making it hard for me.

I calmly spoke to them "I worked at Twinkle Lights, while I was there I stole a pretty necklace from Annabelle Reed's locker, I just had to have it. if you take the time to look at the club security cameras you will see me sat at the bar admiring that necklace. After I committed the murders at Pussay Cat's I couldn't find the necklace. I must have dropped it at the scene."

They both looked very surprised by this comment, Officer Pluto radioed through asking someone if someone could pull up the CCTV footage from that night and Twinkle Lights, as soon as possible.

Officer Davis was intrigued. "what necklace Miss Rose?"
He was clearly wondering how I knew about the necklace.

"I left a necklace at the scene of the crime Officer, I think that's why Annabelle ended up getting arrested. I was too scared to come forward at that point."

In all the news stories they had only ever mentioned an item being left, never that it was a necklcae, Davis and Pluto both looked at each other before turning to me.

Pluto began with, "You do not have to say anything  but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something you may later rely on in court" She got out her handcuffs, she began to put the cuffs on my wrists "anything you do say may be given in evidence Miss Rose."
Ohhh this was like something out of a movie, it was very exciting.

Davis nodded "In other words darlin, your nicked. take her down." He suspended the interview, they had all the information they needed now.

This was it, this was the moment I knew was coming, I had given away vital information that I shouldn't have access too, but they knew I hadn't worked alone, they knew I didn't wear a size 11 and I had tiny hands, how was I going to pull this off, I had some serious thinking to do.

As Davis and Pluto took me to a cell and removed my handcuffs, I was relieved. They locked me in there, I looked around, there was a mattress on the floor, a toilet in the corner, a little sink, and that was all.
I thought 'compared to this Jaxon treated his women well' but at least while I was in here I was safe.

Jaxon wouldn't come after me and kill me, what if one day he was being paranoid about the possibility of me going to the police, he wouldn't stop until I was dead or something. I never thought Jaxon would hurt me but at this point anything was possible.
My new boyfriend, his name was Enzo by the way, he knew what was going on. not fully of course, he was a teenager. But I had told him I might be going away for A while and he promised he would wait for me.

I had all the time in the world to come up with a story now, I had no distractions, no work, no Ruby, how I would miss her, no Freya, we had grown apart after Bekah had died anyway. but the best part about being in here was that I was away from Jaxon. even though I was locked up  in a tiny little cell I finally felt free. for the first time since he had walked into my life I was free and I loved it.
