"I loved you." were the last words I heard from him. Or so I thought they would be. He knew what Kairi and I did, but the worst part about it, was that I didn't regret it. Life went on, and although I was constantly at the police department, talking with a lawyer, and awaiting Mattia's trial, life went back to normal. And then the day came.

It was the day of the trial, December 22, which we've been waiting for for months. I had to testify against Mattia, which I didn't want to do. At all. Especially since I was lying. But it's better than going to prison for the rest of your life.

"Are you ready?" My mom said to me, ready to walk out the door.

"Yeah." I responded. I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready at all. I didn't want to do this, but I had to.

"Tara Sanchez." I was called up to the witness stand by the judge. I took a deep breath and got up. I felt everyone's eyes on me. I was about to lie in a courtroom, against the love of my life.

And that's what I did.

I lied, and so did Kairi. "You fucking liar." He screamed at me from his chair. He was in an orange jumpsuit with his hands cuffed behind his back. I hated seeing him like this. "You'll never get away with this." A tear dropped from my eye.

The trial went on for what felt like hours. I was completely zoned out, thinking about all the possibilities. "Hey, it's gonna be okay." Kairi comforted me. "He's a fucking murderer, he'll get what he deserves." It just felt so wrong. I wasn't the kind of person who would do this. I wasn't a fucking murderer, and I definitely wasn't a liar. But I couldn't go to jail for protecting myself.

Then the jury voted. Guilty.

We won the trial, but it just felt like I lost everything. I didn't know how I could live without him.

I sat and watched the courtroom empty, people rushing out. Mattia got life in prison with no possibility of parole. I just sat there, thinking about that. He was innocent. I was the fucking guilty one.

But there was nothing I could do. Nothing I could do to get him back. I was especially hung up on the words he said to me, "I loved you."

He never told me that he loved me until that moment. I never got a sincere "I love you" from him. Ever. Until the day I destroyed his life.

Days went by and I couldn't get him out of my mind. So I did something I never thought I'd do.

It was a 3 hour drive to the prison that Mattia was being held at, but I needed to see him. I needed to try.

I walked into the dimly lit room with metal chairs and a glass pane, facing another empty chair. The guard that escorted me in told me to sit down, and that I'd be able to see him in a few minutes. My heart felt like it was beating out of my chest.

And then I saw him. His hair was long, his face unshaved, and his eyes were perfect like the first time I met him.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" He said to me. I could hear the hatred in his voice.

"I wanted to know." I responded.

"Know what?" He scoffed.

"Why you did it." A confused look came across his face. "Why did you kill Alejandro?"

"You're really fucking insane." He smirked. "I mean, how did you pull it off? How did you convince them it was me?" A tear fell from my eye.

"Are you really fucking crying right now? You're the one crying?" His voice got louder for every word he said. "You put me in prison for the rest of my fucking life."

"You put yourself in prison."

"I fucking hate you." He said to me. I knew that he did, but hearing the words come from his mouth changed everything. "You know, you won't get away with this."

"The case is closed Mattia. You fucking did it." I said. He laughed.

"You and Kairi are in for a rude fucking awakening." He scoffed and got up. "Oh, and one last thing, Hunter knows." A cop escorted him out of the room, and I left.

I just thought of all the things he said. How did we get away with it? And why didn't Hunter help him, at all? 

Those thoughts plagued my mind for months. But I realized I needed to get over it. There was nothing I could do. It was a rainy Friday night, and I was bored, trying to distract my mind from Mattia. So I opened my laptop, typing in omegle.com into the search bar. I put my interests as tiktok, new jersey, and friends. After skipping a bunch of people, I found this one guy. He glared at me the same way Mattia stared at me the first time I met him, "What the fuck are you looking at?" He laughed, taking a hit from a breeze.

"N-nothing."
