I walked into an office, police closely following behind me 
"Take a seat" the man in a suit sat down behind the desk, I sat down slowly, the two police officers guarding the door. 
"I think I have the right to speak to my lawyer alone.. I promise I wont kill him" The man behind the desk nodded at them and motioned them out.

once they were finally gone the man pulled out a clip board and a pen, 
"so, two attempted murders?" he said looking down at the clip board and back up at me with a worried expression on his face, 
"I'm innocent I swear..." he nodded slowly 
"it says a nurse walked in on you threatening to kill a man named Bert millons" I screwed up my face
"Bert..?" 
"this guy.." he held a photo of Reckless, 
"wait.. his name is.. Bert?!" I burst out into laughter, slapping the table, Big toughys name was Bert! 

"Ms.Willows." I looked back up and cleared my throat
"sorry.. um.. yeah i held I knife to his throat.. but I wasn't going to kill him.." He nodded and scribbled something down.
"and may I ask why you did that..?" 
"the full story..?" He nodded
"The full story"

I sat up straighter and let out a sigh,
"so my boyfriend J- Trouble and I were at the movies and  these guys walked in and were all basically kidnapped me from him-"
"wait wait, kidnapped?" I nodded as he wrote some more stuff down. 
"and then when they gave me back I was standing with Trouble and we heard a gunshot.." 
"it says here" he interrupted "that you apparently shot this Trouble character" I nodded but quickly shook my head.

"I was with him when he got shot, but he got shot in the back or something and I was in-front of him.. anyways" I got my mind back on track
"I went to the hospital with him and wanted to stay by his side.. he could've died.. he could be dead.. Re- Bert.. turned up and was saying how he was going to kill Trouble.." he nodded
"continue.."
"and I kept telling him to stop so he said 'stop me, make me stop' so I leaped over the bed, grabbed him,  grabbed the knife he was holding and held it to his throat... that's the only way i could make him stop.. I wasn't going to let him kill my boyfriend.. you understand right..?" He nodded slowly as he wrote it down onto the clipboard.

"would you call it self-defence?" he asked looking back up at me, my eyes lite up
"Yes! self-deffence! defintaly!" he smiled and wrote it down. 
"I can promise you that we will win this case and you will not go to jail" I smiled. 

After a long conversation about what we were going to do to make sure we win this court case and have Rec- I mean.. Bert sent to jail and not me. I walked back into the cell gracefully with a smile along my lips, 
"gee, why so happy?" alex asked, picked at her nails
"My lawyer just promised me we would win this court case, i'll be out of here as soon as I can!" she laughed slightly and went back to picking her nails
"that's what my last lawyer said, look where I am" I shook my head
"my situation is different, i didn't do anything" she laughed once more and looked up at me,
"yeah you're right" 

I heard the cell door open once more and a guard poked his head in
"Destiny?" 
"yes?" 
"your parents are here to see you.." my smile faded, my parents were going to murder me for being here. their perfect little angel that never does anything wrong was now sitting in a jail cell. 

I stood up slowly and let out a large breath to calm myself before following him out to a room, my mother sat next to my father at a small table, mum had tears stained on her cheeks and dad didn't look very happy at all, I walked over and sat down slowly, 
"how long do we have?" I asked the guard standing near by 
"as long as you need, i'm feeling generous today" he smiled slightly and leant back against the wall. I looked up at mum. 

"hi..." I said awkwardly, not knowing what to say 
"Destiny.. please tell me you didn't try to kill someone.. please tell me you didn't resort to violence.. please tell me you're innocent.." Mum mumbled through her tears, 
"Do you really think I would do anything like that..?" I asked with a sad look along my face
"I told you she was innocent.." dad hissed, 
"Destiny Faye Willows" mum growled sternly "look me in the eye and tell me you didn't hold that knife up to that innocent mans throat" My jaw dropped. 
"he is not innocent!" 
"so you didn't try to kill him!" she began to raise her voice
"no! no I didn't try to kill him! he almost killed my boyfriend, he almost killed him twice! it was self defence!"

the whole room went silent for a couple of seconds, I could tell mum didn't want to believe that i tried to kill someone but for some reason she was when I was in-fact innocent! she believed me when I told her that I didn't go to the party that got shut down  by police, she believed me when I told her that I wanted to go to the party because of a boy, she believed all the lies but as soon as I am actually innocent, she doesn't believe me. 

"I don't know destiny.. I have this really sick feeling in my stomach that you aren't innocent.." she mumbled looking down at her hands
"so you want me to go to jail..?" I looked down at my hands but then back up at her, tears building in my eyes
"I told you this would make her upset" dad began talking to mum "I don't understand why you think she's guilty!"
"they have a witness! she was holding a knife up to that mans throat, you heard the cop!" 
"but you don't know what was going on before that! you don't know what goes on behind closed doors, you don't know what could've been happening, he could've been abusing her!" I nodded agreeing with every word that was coming out of dads mouth.

"I don't trust her.." mum once more mumbled, making my heart beat quicken 
"well I do, I believe you sweetheart, I believe that you're innocent and I believe that in the court room, you'll leave happy" He took my hand and placed a kiss on it gently. 
"I want to believe you but I just can't.." Mum mumbled once more "they have witnesses.."
"it kind of hurts alot know that my own mother wants me put in jail.."
"I just think that if you're guilty you should be put away" 
"But im not guilty!" I stamped my feet before calming myself down. I stood up slowly and looked down at them. 

"Thanks for the support mum, you really make me feel like im wanted" I said sarcastically before storming out. Dad turned to mum and glared at her
"how dare you say that our baby girls isn't innocent" he spat, sure enough they fought the whole way home.

"didn't go so well huh?" Alex said to me when I was once back in the cell, 
"well mum wants me put away.." 
"why?" 
"she thinks im guilty.." 
"but its obvious your not" I looked up at her and nodded
"I know.. and when it comes to the day of court, I'll kick berts butt"
