"So... You're just admitting to it? No... No coaxing at all? No interrogation?"
The officer was in a state of disbelief.
"I mean... Yeah. I did it."
Nathan shrugged.
"...Why?"
"Simply out of self-defense. I'm here to prove it. I killed Kristen out of self-defense."
------------------------
14 days. 2 weeks. That's how long Nate had to wait for the state to process his case. 2 weeks until the trial that would determine the rest of his life. 2 weeks can pass in the blink of an eye. But for Nate? Those were the longest 14 days of his life.

What She Left Behind ✔️
"I'm assuming that little speech was meant for me?" "It was meant for everyone." "But mostly me. Is it because I called her selfish earlier? Are you still hung up on that?" "I'm not hung up on anything, Gemma." "Then why would you go up there and say that?" I demand, my voice rising above a whisper. "Of all days, why would you choose today to publicly humiliate me?" "Today isn't about you, Gemma," Bowie says, catching me by surprise.

The Game Changer (Blake) 3 ✔️
Book #3 in The Fire series BLAKE RIVERA "You're the leader of a gang." Aiden yells. I look up at him. "You don't think I know that?" I yell back. "I am doing everything I can to protect my people!" "Your people are being murdered. You're in a war you don't even know is happening." "I know what's going on out there. I know what's happening." "Then why aren't you doing anything to stop it?" I slam my hands on the desk and stand up. "I am doing everything I can!" I yell anger laced in my voice as it flowed through my veins. Suddenly the lights went out; a flashing red light comes on as alarms sound. "You need to do more." Aiden says. "Otherwise this. It's never going to stop." "They're attacking." I realize. "They're always attacking. And they're not going to stop until we're dead." "Or surrender." I mumble and Aidens head snaps up to look at me. "You won't. You can't." "No, what I can't do is kill Felix." "The man you loved isn't there anymore. Can't you see that? He's gone. A monster wears his skin. What's it going to take before you realize that?" I shake my head. "Evacuate. Make sure everyone gets out of here. No one dies today." "Well, someone should. And we both know who it needs to be." Aiden says before he leaves the room. I know Aiden is right, but I can't kill Felix, even if he keeps trying to kill me. I shake my head and sit back down. Just because everyone else was leaving didn't mean I had to also. Maybe I can talk some sense into him. I sigh. I've tried to already, but maybe this time it will be different. Maybe I should tell him the truth. Maybe I should tell him Nadia is his daughter. The door to my planning room is thrown open but I stay seated. I look up as men flood into the room, soon followed by Felix. His emotionless eyes find mine and he cocks his gun. "You should have run with the others."Complete

"Sorry, that was unintentional and I did not know that you are that weak." He smirked at her. "I am not weak.. That..." she saw him taking a step towards her. She gulped and then continued.

"We're breaking him out." Grayson announced to the rest of the gang. His eyes darted to me as my eyes almost popped out of my head. We? "We? As in, including me?" I asked profoundly. I can't break Ethan out of prison, that's impossible. How would that even work. He's in a maximum security unit, guarded by hundred of guards, we'll never be able to get in. That's a suicidal mission, we'll be killed. "Yes we, including you Jas." Jason nods, standing next to Grayson. My jaw was on the floor. "I can't do something like that, I can barely shoot a gun." I told them, shaking my head. "It's either we break him out, or he will probably die. You think Ethan can last seven years without you Jas? He can barely last two hours! He's a criminal, the most wanted one in the US. Someone will get to him eventually. " Grayson expressed. "He'll be dead within a month." My stomach churns at the though of Ethan's dead body lying face down on his prison cell. I feel a lump in my throat just by the feeling of him being away from me. These months has been hell. He's probably being treated horribly. Hearing Grayson say the truth out loud makes me feel sick. I know he's right. I know I have to do whatever it takes to get him back. My life doesn't matter without him. Without him, I can't be happy. I'll do anything it takes to get him back. Even if it costs me my life. "I'm in."

The Silver Scar
I ran as fast as my feet carried me; through the bulky pine trees and the deserted forest area. My legs burned as I ran away from my old house. My arms held my stomach tight, fearing that I would throw up. I ran until I could no longer breathe. I grasped the murder weapon as Drake's blood ran down my arms. Panting heavily, I stopped at a large boulder leaning against it. My breathing could be heard a mile away and that scared me. No one could find me, or I'd be as dead as he is. _________________________________________ Jenna Weston was on the run. She has a past. A past she is desperately trying to get away from. Garrett Chase was the prime suspect in the murder she committed. And as much as she wanted to keep running, she couldn't stand the thought of Garrett going down for the crime. Especially when he is family, and the reason she killed in the first place. **EDITING** COPYRIGHTED © 2014 _empathy All Rights Reserved.Complete
Lies - Criminal Minds || Spencer Reid Fanfiction
{Book Two} COMPLETED - SPOILERS PRIOR TO SEASON 12 It's been two and a half years since Melanie Hotchner last stepped foot inside the BAU in Quantico, Virginia. During that time almost everything has changed, including the new BAU in Albany, New York. "You have to heal, Reid." He nodded his head and smiled. "I have. In my own way. I'm with Dylan now." "I know that. But just because you've moved on and you're with someone else, doesn't mean you've forgotten or gotten over what you and Melanie had." They say time is a healer, but not everybody can be healed. The endless respect everyone once held for Melanie is now shrinking, running tension and emotions high. "Profilers. We're logical, observant, fast. We're not sneaky or suspicious or sly or liars, Spence. We shouldn't be doing this. This isn't who we are. And if you're even a shred of the man I fell in love with, you'll realise just how mad this is." But as usual, Melanie's past finds a way of catching up with her, and begs the question; has too much water gone under the bridge for her and Spencer? Old ghosts come back to haunt her and have her running back to what she's always known.
